I am wondering what is the difference between installing something on my phone or on the storage card which is better to do and why etc.

uh..i install everything to device. supposed to let it read faster and no lag for apps but who knows. i don't really see a difference. just rather not bog down my memory card

If it is a today plug-in or needs to run at startup install to device. I install games and things that don't need to be running to the storage card.

my phone always gets laggy and has lots of memeory usage up even thow i have really nothing going on. Most of the time im at 55% or 66% thats on the device i have yet to test it out on my card but i just wanted to know what the real difference is.

Are you talking about STORAGE space or RAM?

The Storage Card is STORAGE space and thus it filling up has no bearing on phone performance (much like how filling up your USB Drive has no bearing on your computer's performance).

If your RAM usage is high that can have an impact on your phone's performance, but that has no real correlation to where you install your applications.
