I have an LG Optimus L7 2. I have tried transferring apps from the internal memory to the sd card. When i do this and try to open the app afterwards I get a msg saying its not installed. Is there a way to downliad apps to the sd card only rather than the internal memory. I have also deleted a lot of apps from the internal memory but i still get a msg saying there's not enough storage space when i try to download other apps

Unfortunately, Android removed App2SD sometime after 2.2 so it's not so easy to move apps to the SD card now.

Basically, you need to root (get admin access to) the phone and install a 3rd party workaround. This may invalidate your warranty. If you want to try, check out the rooting section of the sub-forum for your device: there's lots of information on there.

Dumb question, but what do you mean by 'delete apps from internal memory'? Do you mean uninstall? You need to uninstall apps in order to free up internal storage.
