Is this happening when you install them to internal sd?
Not all programs and games can be installed on the external sd, and anyway, you have a whopping 2GB of internal storage, why not just install apps and games there?
the apps i am trying to move can be moved to the sd card it gives me the option it just wont move and when i tried to install flick golf and train conducter 2 usa it refused to install it said it couldnt install to sd card or mass storage
I can move some apps to the sd card so i dont know whether its a problem with certains apps
I m facing the same issue on my dell streak...can someone help please..
Do these games take up that much space that you even need to worry about moving apps to the external MicroSD? You have 2GB of internal storage for your apps in addition to whatever you have in the external MicroSD slot, and unless you're running low on space you shouldn't need to worry about moving apps at all.

Hello fellow members of this forum. I have a Htc hermes and in the description of the phone(on Cnet.com) i clearly saw that the storage memory of the phone can be backed up by a microSD card. My question is why then when i install apps to the microSD card, does it take up space on the device as well? why can't the amount of apps able to be installed be limited by only the size of the microSD card?
Also why can't Gameloft games be installed to a microSD card? thanks guys for your response i'm sure it will help others too!
Shortcuts and other system stuff seem to be added, registry etc... Works fine otherwise even when doing a hard reset most apps will still work, some don't though...
Have always been able to install gameloft to sd card...
My a7 was running well for about a week since it had previously quit/locked up...but today when I booted up device, it failed to recognize sd card...same card used for updating to mod 1.4...same card I've been using to listen to my music, etc...but now won't recognize...I've tried two different micro sdhc cards..formatted, reformatted, but device continues to display mount sd card...all else works fine! Does anyone have any new ideas? I can't even reinstall mod since a7 can't read my cards. Thanks for any input that would be helpful. I understand these issues are ongoing for many out there...what to do?
I have a similar problem, but not exactly the same.
Since the A7 has an internal SD card, it will only allow me to download data to that card. Now, the internal SD (not internal memory) is completely full and so I can't download anything period to my device. So, videos, music, docs, photos that I try to download from the internet fails. Also Droid Tv can't download anymore shows bec it says the SD card is full. I've ask several so call experts about they don't know why? Can anyone help me?
Deepmagic: I would probably try a complete wipe and reinstall.
Doopyboy: this has been pointed in another thread, these tablets sd internal has more memory then cell phone device, if you want memory back delete or move files to sdcard-disk(micro sdcard)

Have you tried the reset button on the rear of the unit? I think I have read about that clearing this issue up for others.

... I don't know where to start with this post. It doesn't make sense.
Please explain what you are describing as "internal SD (not internal memory)"
You do know that the device's internal memory is /mnt/sdcard/ and that the MicroSD slot mounts as /mnt/sdcard/sdcard-disk/ right?

I bought a 64gb sandisk ultra micro sdxc card which is supposed to be supported in the sharp aquos crystal but it wont let me instal apps to sd, anyone else having this problem? Have any of you been able to install apps to sd on this phone? Whenever i try to install an app it says insufficient storage even though the sd shows 59 gb available. Yes i did format the sd card when i got it.
4.4 system wont let you install any app on sd card unless you root it
which is impossible at current stage
Amen to that, I`m stuck with my sharp squid crystal end of the story. I've tried towelroot, root genius, I've even tried putting the phone into recovery by pressing and holding the power button phone off or on and volume up or down don't work the phone just vibrates and doesn't turn back on till you let go. I got the phone to test because I need a phone to have lots of storage and long battery time which this on does. I put an 128gb SD and it works well, but no luck with trying to get root or putting apps on the SD either. Sharp has it in lock down trying to

I deleted all content on the new sd card and phone said checking sd card
Does that mean its formated now or did i miss another last step to this?
I'll simply disregard the fact that this SAME EXACT THREAD was already created and answered.
No, you cannot install apps to the SD card WITHOUT ROOT. That is due to Google changing how SD cards function in Kit Kat.
You can move media to the SD card, but not apps.

Nope. That only means that the phone is checking for media on the card to include when you use any type of media app (i.e. file explorers, music players, etc.).
It will scan for media at every boot.
To format the SD card you go to Settings > Storage > Unmount SD card > Erase SD card.
Hello, Now I having trouble with the internal storage, I couldn't get it my play store to install app to my sd card or to re-direct my app to read file in my Sd card, for example I installed Chaos ring 3, I had to move all the file from my sd card to internal, or when I download a game let'a say "Deemo" it supposed to installed to my sd card but it didn't. It's killing my internal storage TT^TT . Does anyone have a solution for that, please help me.... I think everybody have the same problem though, does anyone know how to fix this solution? :crying:
Thank you
