Why the heck doesnt the S4 have an option to move apps to SD?
Can anyone explain to me the reason behind this and more importantly is there a way around this?

Use the folder mount apk. It enables an folder emulator inside a extSdCard and move the files from sdcard to external sdcard. It solved my problem...
it's android as a whole, not just the S4.

I need a method for installing apps to my sd card on my 16gb galaxy s4. I have tried using the folder mount app but this method only stopped my apps from working. I heard that there had been a ota update released that integrates this into the stock software, but I haven't heard any news about it coming to the att galaxy s4.

So far app2sd has just come out for the I9500/9505. you should be able to run one of the I9505 Roms with no problems.

Folder mount works best way better than apps 2 sd in a rom I have 7 gbs of games moved to my sd card and still have 7gbs free on internal storage with over 100 apps installed

I tried it as well and only ended up with the same game data on both my internal and external memory. I didnt like it either. So I'll wait for the update to come to at&t.

If your firmware is newer then xxuamea then you have the option to move an app to sd in the app info window.

Yea I hav the option. .
It shows dat I hav moved all the app data in sd...
But whn I check the phone memory status its still the samen...

Guys, you're confusing him. As Disturbed said you can't move the data on the sd card, only the app itself. So app = 30 mb, data = 1gb, only app (30mb) will be moved to the sd. Basically this function is useless and won't help with the low space, but makes it look like Samsung cares about its customers.
Only way to move the data is by rooting and using an app like foldermount (can't say it's 100% the only way, i'm still a bit noobish on android, but that's what I found everywhere)
I have a non rooted stock 4.3 s4.
I want to move the game data and obb as well as every other file to sd card.
How to do that and yet successfully run the files

Well the things you want to move are system files I suppose, so Wadda you think? You can only generally mess with system while rooted.

Not the system files..

I'm having issues moving apps to my sd card, I keep getting an error not enough space even though I have 59gb available. I've tried reformatting the card in my phone but that doesn't work, any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks!

I found a couple articles and forms saying the cause of this could be because of the 4.3 update, has anyone else using 4.3 experienced the following error message when trying to move an app to external sd card "Unable to move app. Not enough storage space"?

Good idea, another user suggested I reformat the sd card using Philz Recovery (I selected exFat format) then rebooted and was able to move apps

If it doesn't work, then it probably is a hardware problem and you will need to go to a service center in that case.
Flash the package from recovery.
Make a backup first.

It is easy to tear down the galaxy s4 camera. So you can try to use a new camera or a camera from others' S4 to test whether the hardware has problem or not.

He is not even rooting his phone and you expect him to tear open up his phone? -_-
Frankly speaking, I will NOT recommended him to do it himself as he has no experience of it and will most definitely destroy his phone in the process.

Yes.He can try to rooting his phone. But it is really not a hard task to open up the S4. I don't think that will destroy the phone.
