Hi I've just updated my i9500 and tried to move apps to SD card but it moved it to an emulated card
Does anyone know how to really move to the SD card since I still have very little space free?

Hey Guys i have a problem here with my S3!
When i try to move ay app i cant!
I tryed even Titanium Backup and i still can move any app to my Micro SD Card
Please any ideas....i have 16GB Galaxy S3....

Pretty sure I've read that there is currently no support for moving apps to SD on the S3.
Anybody know if custom ROMs like cm10 would help us get back some SD card space (after bootloader unlock)?
9GB is ridiculous.

Of course they would, they don't have any of the Samsung proprietary stuff that takes up all the space

Yes, we just have to wait for the bootloader unlock to be released and the nightlies of CM 10.1 to start.
So SD card repartition would be covered in the ROM install? I wasn't sure if these were separate activities.

I don't believe the SD card is partitioned different, I believe if you hhave root you can access all the samsung stuff in hidden folders and not on a desperate partition
I have the 16gb and was thinking about upgrading to the 32 on the 10th... I know cm10 and other roms will take advantage of the external sd card. But will the other TW based roms give you the freedom to use external as the main storage? I dont see a point in upgrading if they do...

Even with custom roms you still can't move apps to sd card as the limitation is android where Google does not allow it. You will still need to use some kind of app to accomplish moving apps to sd card.

Would apps like GL to SD work on S4?
I have s3 right now and I'm wondering if I can use this app the same way I did on S3.
Lack of memory is a major concern to me as I have lots of large games...
am i the only one ticked off because the internal memory card in this dang phone is emulated and the software doesnt support apps to sd? so you use up all the memory cuz u have about 50 apps installed?

CM 10.1 mounts in the internal SD in the proper root directory: /sdcard/
Just a thought if it's a deal breaking feature for you.
EDIT: I'm actually not sure this can be done on CM10.1 either....
Edit: ive just found out a day ago that if u install the international version of software that has been pushed out as an ota update it has this done ! Apps 2 sd!! But still have to wait for ours on att. Or hopefully a dev will code it into a rom for us . I was just actually mad becuz the sell it as internal sd storage when it really is not separate from the phone memory that the system is on . I had a captivate that had it separated. But still loving the phone regardless.

Hey
So I installed the newest official Samsung firmware which was suppose to allow moving my apps to my sd card. When I go to my apps I can see tge button that says "move to sd card". When I press it the app goes from the phones internal memory to the so called internal sd card which is the same in all s4's instead of the "extSdCard" what is the actual sd card I have.
Why those apps doesn't really go to the sd card and why would Samsung hype this newest update with that feature when it doesn't even work.

Try using "DIRECTORY BIND"...
Its a third party app... Probably the only app that would actually do what u want...
Good luck!

I know about directory mounting/folder syncing, but I'd really like to know if others have the same problem or is it just me? I'm going to ask about this from Samsung since they probably know better why they lied about this app2sd feature.

some apps do not support app 2 sd i.e : whatsapp antutu etc... its how it works.... im sure things will get better with newer android updates
Its moves the app only, not the data files.
If you still want to move the files, use foldermount.
Directory bind doesnt work anymore. Only foldermount has a patch to work around it.

No, it doesn't even move the apps. I just said that in the first post. They just go to the internal "sd card" intead of the "extSdCard". I tried with every one of my apps so it's not about some apps not supporting app2sd.

It's not about not supporting if it didn't support it the move to sd card button wouldn't have been highlighted so you are correct
I noticed the to get around I use folder mount to link large folders +(1gb)
I also have a second partition on my sd which I used in my last device for linking its only 1gb though but u can try that to if you like

same problem
I just got my samsung galaxy s4 (GT-I9500) but it seems that it is impossible to move apps on SD card.
Android Version: 4.2.2
Baseband Version: I9500XXUAMDK
Build Number: JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDK
I also read some forums and learned that samsung already addressed this issue by making the upgrade or updates but unfortunately my phone is up-to-date already.
Can somebody please tell me when does the said update will come out here in Philippines? I believe there's a lot of S4 users who also has this trouble as our phones int. memory gets lower and lower. :crying:
thanks
The update will not save you much of any space, so I'm a bit surprised that people are still so fixated on it.

Is working exactly as it should. Only the apk is moved. The bulk of the space is consumed by the app's data, which is not supposed the be moved by this "feature."

Hello all developer
I have a problem with my Galaxy S5 G900H, I can not save pictures on my sd card or other apps, Please Is it that there's a solution for this problem or is it that there's people have this problem
mod edit: no need to yell with huge tex size
It's an android problem. Can be fixed with root.
Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
Android 4.4.x restrict using SD card.
Root -> Link2SD app
Are you saying that you cannot save pictures using camera to save to your microsd?
My S5 is able to do this. Stock unrooted rom.
Use "SDFix" for Kitkat from Playstore.
After clicking fix you can uninstall that app.
This worked immediately. However, you will have to root first.

I have no issues taking pics and video to sd card. Did a few GB just yesterday.

Root your device, make a small partition in your sd card about 2 gigabytes, then download link2sd app and you're good to go.. Now you will have the ability to transform anything to your ed card.

Still the same problem, I install SDFix and other apps thank you to you all, but I think the problem on the smartphone, as I have a friend with same problem on Galaxy s5
I haven't got any better advice since I don't own this model or at least a similar one. Sorry I couldn't help you out...:| Best of luck

First check where you are saving them to. Go to camera click the gear wheel top left. Then with all the options scroll there's more rows of options you don't see. Below flash options is device storage options.
