Move to SD Failed

Hey guys, I just bought the tab yesterday and found that I was not able to move the compatible apps to the SD card (internal sd)
When I try to move it says:
failed to move application. No sd card.
Btw, I have the tab with only the 16g internal memory, no external sd card inserted.
Sorry for the noob question, hove u guys cn help...

Evidently you need an external sd card for app2sd to work, but you really need it?
You got 2gb of internal memory for the apps, it should be enough for an huge amount of applications

Yes ur correct, 2g is definetly enough...
Just curious if there's a problem with my tab..
Just wondering if theres a way to have it move to the internal sd...
Thanks for your help...

External Sd to default storage

Hi,
I was just wondering whether it would be possible to set the default "storage /sdcard" path to be the ext Sd instead of the sdcard (which is the phone's internal memory). It does detect the card but still saves most things automatically to the internal Sd card.. Any ideas? I have a 64gb SanDisk ultra card

There is already a thread on this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257460
Yes, I know it is for the i9500, but the storage is essentially the same, so when the mod is released, it should work on both phones. On the last page in that thread there is a link to the original int2exsd thread and there are some posts suggesting the gs4 is nearing having a working mod. Patience is a virtue, the phone is still fairly new.

Samsung updated feature Move to SD (internal and not external)?

I just found out with the new rom released (mf9) they have the option for you to move app to sd card. The funny side is when you move your app to sd, it is still setting in your internal phone memory and not to the external is card. Samsung has an internal partition mounted as sd card and moving apps to that partition, still utilizes internal space. I maybe wrong, but I really see this option pointless, if you cant push your apps to external storage.

I may be off base, but I liken it to shortcuts on your desktop to a file or program that is located on an external memory device. Even with the bulk of the space necessary stored externally, there is still some resources required to let the OS know where to find the rest. I do know that the few apps I have, moving them has freed up a couple hundred MB's of space on the device.

I believe it just moves the apk to external but doesn't move the data

Move apps to sdcard

I am running MM (stock, unrooted, w/ unlocked BL) and have and SD card installed as portable storage (i had tried using it as internal a month or so ago and got completely screwed up for a few weeks, so am back to leaving it as portable).
In the past - before i formatted it as internal - i believe I had the option to move apps to the sdcard. I definitely had that option after formatting as internal. Now, I am not seeing that option at all. Do I need to do something special to allow moving of apps to the SD Card?
I am going to storage--> internal storage --> apps and scrolling down the list. When I select an app, i am expecting to see the option to move it to sd card. It's not there for any of the apps on the phone.

Don't think you can use move to SD on moto. Use something like link2sd or adaptive storage.

Thanks- so, you're saying that i probably am just remembering things incorrectly and likely the only time i previously moved the apps to SD on my XPE was when i had the SD card formatted as internal storage?

Not sure what you had but I tried that myself and got error that I can't move to SD on this phone. Forgot what the error was though.

Its a change from lollipop to marshmallow. Lollipop allows the moving of some apps to the SD card natively, marshmallow does not. Every app I've tried for app2sd doesn't work in marshmallow either.

I've had some SD Card problems as well, does that mean Migrate Data only moves personal non-app files to the other storage?

Using AppMgrIII to move apps to SD card
Running MM stock, not rooted. Using AppMgrIII and formatting the SD card as internal (really key here), I have moved many apps to the SD card. AppMgrIII tells you which can be moved, and then you go to the app, click on storage and move the app to the SD card. Some work on the first try, and some take two tries for some reason. I must have about 40 apps on my SD card. The only one that didn't work after moving was the Amazon Shopping app. It worked, but took forever to come up. Moved it back to internal and it's fine.

While this is a good work around, this breaks basic functionality of the SD card by itself. When you format it as internal, you cannot put it in a card reader and use it in your pc, which for me, is essential, especially when copying 20+ gigs at a time (128GB card). Also, if rooted and custom recovery, recovery will not read the card either.

Apps moving to External and internal storage??

I've moved lots of apps to my SD card and Everytime there's an update for those apps, they get updated and moved back to Internal Storage.
Is there anyway to keep them in the External storage??
Or does anyone know of an app that can show all the apps that can be moved??
