Okay so the phone i have right now came with a sd card called 128 evo plus , which was great and was excited to move over apps from internal storage to it, but i don't seem to have the option to do so. (i searched the videos and how-tos and i followed them, but i just dont have the option to.) Help would be appreciated !
Settings
Device
Applications
Application manager
Pick the app you want to move
Storage
Change
Select sd card
You can only move certain apps to sd so you will have to go down the list until you find one that allows you to move it over. Ex waze gps

I'm bell (canada) and yes i have. :/
And you have tried it on all of your downloaded apps? My options are very limited as to what I can move to sd. My only other suggestions are to download something like Pandora or waze as I know I can move these on my phone and maybe reformat card with your phone. Other than that I'm at a lose on this one sorry, maybe someone who knows more or had the same issue and found a fix will chime in.
Should look like this
yes i have, i guess i'll go to the samsung store and have them take a look. thanks tho ! @AndroiderM

Hello i have gone and bought a 2gb memory card for my phone?
Is it possible to make the card default for things like Bluetooth
And when installing apps it saves on the memory card instead of the phone?
Thanks
Dave
Whenever you go to install an App it will prompt you whether you want to install it on the device or the storage card. Whether the app will work from the storage card will depend on the app.

Is there a way to store files from programs on the SD card. I am using Co-Pilot GPS and when I install the program on my tablet (from the SD card) it tells me to download the maps. The maps are also on the SD card but Co_pilot can't see them. I had tried to download direct to the tablet but the file is too big for internal memory so I had to download only my state. This has happened with several Apps that I tried to load. Is there a way to redirect the data to the SD and have the program recognise it. Do I need Dexters download??
Thanks,
John

Sorry... I don't think anyone has figured out how to get app to work with the SD card yet. eLocity/Stream TV has not addressed the issue. I do believe Dexter is looking into it.
For now I have CoPilot running on my g -tablet, as I don't think it would fit onto my eLocity. You may be able to fit the US maps, but just barely (again just maybe, if the stars align just right). I believe it gives you the option to just download regions or states.
On a device with such little storage available this is a BIG deal!

Does Android have the ability to utilize regular Linux Links? If so, maybe you can install it minimally first with nothing else on the device and then move the directory to the SD card then link to it and add other maps. If that works it would free up local space and allow you to install other apps.
hi is any rom which can offer installing apps from google play by default to sdcard ???

I've seen where apps can be moved to the sd card but normally it's not by default. But as far as roms go some have things which are similar which have the ability to move to sd but samsung in general seems to be a bit weary on having them there by default

Some roms do include that option, I've found personally on my own tab 2 that the swap still somehow manages to not completely work like it should.
So I'm new to this whole SD card thing, I've only owned the s6, which obviously, didn't support expandable storage. So my question is - is it possible to move apps onto the SD card slot? I understand there might be a performance hit, but for a lot of apps, I can careless about the performance of the storage on it.
I saw there was a "move to sd card" option for applications on the galaxy s5 - will there be something similar here?
Nope, don't believe so. If it's anything like past devices though, app data can be saved to SD card. Camera can capture to SD, spotify can download tracks to SD, GPS navigation apps can download maps to SD, etc. Main app files will be on main 32GB memory

Thank you. That's good news all around. Now if only some games would store their data on the sd cards.
I currently move apps to my sd card on the Galaxy S5;, using a utility called "All in one toolbox". It allows me to move apps so they run off of my micro SD card. Does anyone know if this will work with the Galaxy S7 edge?

But, if it is anything like past devices, it could have an option to "move app to SD". Has the removal of this feature been confirmed yet? We all know Adoptable Storage is gone, but what about App to SD? Is it confirmed missing, or are we just speculating?
Running MM on my S5 and the Adoptable Storage works so well, I hope Samsung change the mined about this.

Pretty sure App2SD has been a mod / specific vendor addition since... a long time now. That hasn't been a part of Android for years. Removed in Jellybean maybe?
I don't know if Samsung has specifically written this in with the S7, sorry.
I'm pretty sure I heard one of the dudes who did a first impressions on it that an upcoming feature in marshmallow will allow to merge SD card storage with internal .... No idea how credible the dude is though

That is a Marshmallow feature but Google has encouraged manufacturers to remove that feature. The LG G5 and the Samsung S7 phones do not have it.
David Ruddock from Android Police says.
"Google discourages using adoptable storage if:
Your SD card slot is in an area where it may be regularly ejected (i.e., the SIM slot) and/or your phone has "sufficient" internal storage already, which is probably these days 32GB or more. Adoptable storage is apparently intended as a feature for phones with very limited internal storage and for stationary, IoT types of devices.
LG has done the same, and does not have adoptable storage on the G5."

Is it something that be acquire through rooting?
I've got the option to move apps to SD straight out of the box. Go to the Apps, find the app, go to Storage. It's there. Not every app has it but lots do.
Apps on SD Cards Disappearing from Edge
I was able to move some downloaded apps to the SD card. Then I put a few on the Apps Edge. But I found that, if I reboot or power off/on, the apps (not just the icon, but the apps themselves) disappear from the Edge. Has anyone else seen this?
You can do it through adoptable storage:

I got my S7 Edge yesterday & love it.
However I'm having trouble transferring apps to the SD card. In my case, I can successfully move the app via the Application | Change Storage Location option BUT when I look at the SD card in a file manager, it has only moved the folder structure & the app files remain in internal storage.
Anyone know what the hell is going on?
Cheers.

I am having the exact same issue. Says it moves the apps, but the internal storage and SD card usages do not reflect this; the corresponding directories on the SD are size 0 and empty as well.
go to settings/aplication manager. find the app you want to see if it can go to SD and go to Storage. There you can see if there is Change button .
i mooved many apps to my SD but when i restart my phone i didnt had worked apps.

Sorry but the only thing that happens is a folder is created on the SD to store the app. data. Nobodies apps are moving over to the SD card.
How does the SD card storage work in the G6? I'm concerned about storage space with the 32g internal storage being the only option. I don't download that many apps but I guess with podcasts and audio books I run into capacity issues with a 32g phone. My understanding is with Nougat you can use the SD card for apps etc more so than you could in the past. Could someone please shed some light on how this works with the G6?

LG removed adaptable storage option. This tool works great for me.
Thanks. I'll take a look at it. I haven't bought the G6 yet and I'm a little concerned about having to rely on a hack. I wonder why they removed the adaptable option
Almost all brands removed this feature...
As far as I know, only HTC leaved it available for the customer without the need to do anything funny.
Does it work the same as native with this mod?

I really appreciate your responses!
You can also just enable Force Allow Apps on External in developer options.
Is that when you use the move to SD function?

I enabled Force Allow Apps on External, and it wont allow me to move any more apps that I couldn't already move by just going into each app and changing the storage to SD.
Is there something else that needs to be done?

Hi guys,
a quick question: as I used this tool the overall consumption of memory in my original internal memory seems to be higher than I expected.
So I added up the space needed by the apps on the new internal SD card and this fit. So it seems that the internal SD card things that the Apps are installed there, but the internal memory shows them in them from the storage consumption.
Is that just a bug (or "feature") of the LG due to the fact that they do not increase the overall free space available (with the internal SD card)?
And if this is so, can I just keep installing apps right after 32Gb are full or will the phone still stop accepting that?
Does anybody knows more about that?
Best regards and thanks for the help!

Thanks for sharing!
with Oreo (V20h) app Settings crashes when selected "Migrate data..." on microSD formatted as internal storage...I think LG does not permit this solution any more (I enabled "Force Allow Apps on External" in developer options too)
