Check if your PC reads the card by using card reader or something. iF it reads then the build has problem. if not then card has problem. Re-partition with recovery if card has problem

my computers reads the sd and my phone also ....the weird thing is that even the internal memory i cant acces ...so maybe like you said is the build ......cuz i had this problem since build 1

Did you check under /mnt/extSdCard ?

Yeah I just checked and everything is fine..... When I was on aokp broccoli everything worked fine

Well after I flashed a different rom everything works now..... So my guess is that the jb build was the problem

Moving Apps

I have just migrated from GS2 to the GS4,
Why cant i move Apps to extSD card to enable me to free-up more of the internal SD memory like i could with the S2??

The option was removed in ics/jb (not sure which version exactly) because Google think that microSD card aren't reliable enough.

I know something called redpill was available for the galaxy note, which changed the external SD card with the internal SD memory and somehow enabled users to move apps across to the external SD Card thought something might be available for the S4 by now??

you can use folder mount from play store. But need to be rooted first. This app works even with GS4.

[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.

Incase u wish to try new firmware
use the below link and download the firmware and flash it using odin
it wont affect ur warranty etc

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."

How to move entire apps to SD card.

Hi all!
I would like to move huge apps to my SD card now that I am rooted. (Forget the class number but it's high and it's a 16gb model)
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53428200&postcount=1
I downloaded the app off of the play store. When I go to any APP2SD app it still says my device is not supported. How do I go about doing this?

I know I said I installed that!!!!
What do I do after that? The APP2SD apps still won't move my apps to my sd card.
Had to remove your link to google play it wouldn't let me post it lol.

If by huge apps you mean games that have obb files, try foldermount..works for me.

so I used this app and when I rebooted the Galaxy S5 boot screen showed the lock icon (unlocked) with "Custom" written underneath it. don't suppose that's anything to be concerned about?

I tried using the app to mount the AC4 game/map browser. I'm not sure what it did but it didn't take it off internal storage.

I'm still looking for a way. For example the ACiV app only moves about 40 of the 200 mb. Those root app 2 sd cards don't seem to work.
