first things first, try to move all the apps 2 SD that will speed things up, are you using a task killer? how about heavy apps like video games, or yahoo mail, etc?

you probably need to redownload the apps again

for future reference don't worry so much on the apps2sd app and if you want to backup everything check this methods

How to install it

You need to

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

download IO File Manager

download the backup & restore app, transfer it to your SD card, use OI file manager to find it -> tap on it -> install it

Contacts

just to play it safe sync your contacts w/ google if you haven't already

open your phonebook

on your computer

-> download the file -> go to your gmail -> click on contacts -> click on more actions -> on the drop down menu click on "import" -> choose the file -> and click import

Don't worry so much about backing up your apps

on your computer go to

if you don't want to use the backup & restore app then

Install "backup SMS" to back up your SMS and MMS to your Gmail

or your SMS use

First thing answer 🙂 = i already move all the apps to sd card ( with the same condition ) the lags never happen on the old firmware )

2. yo you mean, that id doesnt enough with the method( just copy by windows ) and cop paste again to the other sd card ).... its mean , the correct way, is using app backup and restore right ???

on the post above, i didnt find like the picture shows ( about log in to android market, and open my library , and send the app to my phone ) ,

3. is it okay, to format the sd card ( i mean are there an important content in sd card that conected to my phone system )??

hope you understand what i wrote,, hehehe,,, english is not my main language,, heheh

thanks the respond before ^___________^

you can't just copy the files from a SD card and paste it, this is the best way to do it

on your PC

1) open any folder -> click on tools -> properties -> view -> show hidden files

2) mount your phone with the NEW SD card and delete everything (save any file that you might want to keep)

3) swap SD cards, mount the old SD card, go to your SD card, press Ctrl + A then Ctrl C, on your desktop create a new folder, open it, then press CTRL + V

4) swap SD cards, mount the new SD card, open the folder you just created, press Ctrl + A then Ctrl C, open your SD card, Ctrl + V

android market varies from country to country, that's how the market looks here in the US

and it's important that you backup the hidden files aswell before you reformat your SD card

the best way is to mount the SD card to the computer, then go to Computer/my computer, right click on it choose reformat
