Hi
Does anyone know if you can transfer apps to the sd card? Can't decide whether to wait for a 32gb version or get the 16gb one which seems much more available right now.
Thanks

Sadly you can't. It would only be possible if rooted. That's the only thing about the tablet I don't like

Gosh. Just as I had not hoped. Hmmmmm. .... now need to make the choice between the 3g or the nexus 9... I just quite like the remote play feature

I got this tablet because of the remote play features and waterproof and more portable, I got the 16gb LTE version and am planing to root as soon as i find a way to do so i can move my apps to sd card using foldermount

Lollipop bring back the sd-card support to android!
so no need to worry about 16gb version.
Just insert 128gb micro sd and you are sorted
as far as I know kitkat won't let you unless you are rooted and with exposed madule it's possible otherwise no..

hello I have been looking all over for how to do this or even if I can. I wish to move all my apps I have gotten off the market to my sd card and run them from their also when ever I download a new one they are saved their too. I am wanting to free up some memory. if it can't be done that sucks but oh well.
just rooted my tablet tonight but still using stock rom. thanks
Not possible in HC. Apps2sd doesn't work, maybe it will with ics...but should be a good while before you fill up even the 8gb model. Been some good comments about using GL 2 sd if you play games though.
k wasn't sure I had a buddy that says his Droid phone saves his apparently to his sd. card but I wasn't sure if I could thanks though

yes, it seems to be a honeycomb limitation, and so the droid can run it, since it will be on 2.2 or 2.3 .
Considering ICS combines the phone and tablet OS, it may start working then, or it might work for no one.
Although the Galaxy SIV will come with several storage options, again in the UK carriers will only be subsidizing the 16GB model and I am wondering if large HD games (Nova, Modern Combat etc.) will install to Micro SD to save space?
I remember reading that since Honeycomb apps such as App2SD are obsolete due to combined memory but I still haven't read that apps easily install to the Micro SD card. So can you?
Thankyou
I recommend checking this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192122
Thankyou, that is one solution but I'm wondering if their is 'official' support for installing apps to Micro SD.
Since Android 4.0 & above can't install app on micro sd anymore
You don't know about it ?

No! Can large apps/games such as Nova install the game data to the micro sd or does that no longer happen as well?

U can Root and install custom ROM that support app2SD
Or root and use an app that merge internal & external memory.
:good:
That's a shame, in the UK that's one more thing the One has going for it.
Thankyou for the quick replies!

the One can't do it either, can it?
No but in the UK the One has 32GB of inbuilt memory and you can only get the Galaxy SIV 16GB subsidized from carriers,

oh, true
I wish the S4 had 32GB already too
that should be the default for all flagships already
The annoying things is that Samsung make a 32GB model, its just that you can only buy it sim-free, which is far more expensive. Now if you could get it with more storage from carriers...
I have just moved from the Galaxy S2 across to the brand new S4, and so far it seems great. A really beautiful phone and generally pretty happy.
BUT.....
When I was using the S2, it was a snap to move apps and files across from the phone storage to the SD Card storage. Well, I am stumped as to how to do this with the S4!!!?? It doesn't seem rational to me to have a phone that will allow you to expand the storage with an SD Card, but then not allow you to actually move anything across. That's like Woolworths giving you a shopping trolley and then not allow you to put anything in the trolley?? That is nuts.. So it must be me...
Could anyone out there please give me a heads up on how to move apps across to the SD Card? I only have 16 gig in phone storage and that is getting eaten up real quick with apps and bloatware, so I really need to be able to use the 32 gig SD card I have installed.
Thanks in advance...

The option was removed since Jelly Bean unfortunately.
That's exactly the reason why I don't understand their choice of releasing a 16GB version (of which only 9GB remain usable).
I bought the 32GB S3 for this reason, and I'm waiting for the 32GB version of the S4 as well, if they ever decide to release it.
If you root your device, there are still options like DirectoryBind, but they aren't perfect, and I think we shouldn't have to mess with stuff like that on a flagship device.
Directorybind is broken at the moment. The app foldermount however is very close to fixing this issue.
The developer is working very hard on getting it fixen and is almost there (he's using my phone for debugging)
It seems that samsung has fuzzled it up themself. Not Google.
If you are rooted there still ain't no way to move files to the external sdcard. But it won't be long till that's fixen and that's the good news!

Thanks for that info. I didn't think it was a Jelly Bean issue because the S2 received the JB upgrade and it was still able to transfer to the ext SD card. But obviously it is different for the recent phones. But I don't get it?? Why make a phone that can expand storage through an ext SD Card and then restrict the transfer of apps to that storage?? Is it me or is that a little crazy??

No problem.
I don't get it either.
The microSD slot is great, but advertising it as a replacement of the internal memory is wrong (so many people seem to think they can have a 80GB phone if they add the microSD to their 16GB phone, but don't know the limitations).
32GB should be the minimum internal memory for a 2013 flagship device.

Guess what?? I am one of those people!!! After knowing about the restrictions, I feel a little cheated and agree 100% with you that 32 gig is the entry level storage considering all the bloatware Sammy has included.

Indeed, I can understand that you'd feel cheated
Hopefully they release the 32GB soon and maybe you can replace yours with the 32GB version.
I'm using Android Tuner Free to move big apps (eg games like Deadspace ) across to the SD card. Free app, go into App Mgr, select the app you want to move, click the manage button, choose the move button, select SD-Link. It's working fine for me so far...
The foldermount app should work now on the galaxy s4! Go to his xda topic where you can get the latest version! Yay
You also have to reinstall apps if you want to update them, since the app will not be scripted to support the bind when installing.

that s great but is there a way to exchange the whole sdcard into the extsdcard ??? not just mounting specific folders
Hi
however it s official from Android that after ICS app to sd card removed from android
But samsung bring it back on Galaxy S IV according to latest software update (in germany yet)
So i wanna ask Sony to Bring it back to Xperia devices

I just send this post as Request to Sony for app to return sd card function

There's no need for that.

Are you talking about installing apps on SD card? That's really not worth it with the amount of storage we have. Samsung famously eat their storage

these days is not like past
16GB with 11GB user-available is enough But it s not bad if have more internal like storage
do u like 16GB internal storage or 32GB?
all of us know that we like more storage for lots of installation and cache and data of apps
external storage (sd card) is now for media only but what about data and cache & etc of apps?
anyway i like this function and others like it too

16GB is more than enough, and I just can't imagine anyone needing so many apps that they would use so frequently they needed every last one to always be installed.

Voted " Yes ! "
:good:
no need to vote, just tell Sony to do it. People that don't use it, then they don't have to use it or worry about it. Always good to have it when you don't need it and need and when you don't have it.
Just use TiBu
its not good for performing guys.. SAM was force to do that for the bad reviews but their phone WILL sacrifice some speed performs as you should know that the internal memory is much more responsive and fast.. and more expensive compare to SD card what so ever
it will do good to lower the cost but believe me you will regret it when companies follow that path..
Kinda dumb question here. But how can I move my installed apps to my 32GB Micro SD card plugged into the back of my MOJO?

Hi the thread already exist please suppress this one and next time search a little there is just two page ...
There are two apps I have used that do this fairly easily. Try either App2SD or Link2SD. Both do the same thing. I also believe AppMonster does, but I've never used it for this purpose. If they say you cannot move an app, it is probably because the MOJO sets the external microSD in a way that it is detected as emulated rather than physical. As I've yet to get a microSD to work at all, I cannot tell what the problem is...I just know from experience on the Acer A700 that -it- is set up so you cannot send apps to the microSD.

Most high end games are 500mb - 1gb or more. I like to play a lot of different games you know? Just kind of sucks that we can't move them to expandable storage at the moment. 16 GB is not going to be enough in the future when more games become compatible.
