[Q] Can't move my apps to a sd card

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."

huh? What do you mean by "memory swap"?

I mean to use my external memory as my internal and internal into external

Hope you are rooted. If Yes, you can flash extsd2internalsd mod by mattiadj. It needs a supporting kernel like perseus... You can search and find the mod in xda note 2 forum

As far I know swap is not successful on 4.3 yet. I am using Folder Mount to transfer app data from internal to ext SD.It works

why you wanna swap in 4.3 ? as i know you can move 2 SD , not like 4.1.2 thats why we go for int/ext swap

it's very useful using int/ext swap. because when i flash with different custom ROM, i just restore all apps from titanium backup, and all apps installed to ext sdcard. in 4.3, i have to run move 2 sd for each one by one apps every time i change to different rom..

I dont have a sd card O.O! I thought its not possible ??? So i downloaded freege out of curiosity now... Once i started it checked versions etc.. Now i am at the screen , Then i see 3 things named like this " CWM-6.0.4.6 / CWM-6.0.4.7 / TWRP-2.6.33 " ? I dont get anything

The phones internal storage is the ad card in other words and the Korean version actually supports external ad cards anyways those options are the different recoveries and I personally use twrp
