sd card apps - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

So if I keep icon packs on memory card and say I'm using that pack does it continuously keep reading from the memory card?

Anyone?

Memory card As Default

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

how does installing apps on sd card or internal memory affects the phone?

Hi guys. I am aware that there are apps like app2sd to move apps from phone to SD card. How does installing apps on phone or SD card affects the phone? Does it make the phone faster or save battery life?

Hi,
It's all about internal memory.
Go to settings, SD & Phone storage and look at available space under internal storage.
If the ROM you are using gives you hundreds of spare MBs,then you don't have a problem.
When you install new apps,the spare space is used up.
If you are not blessed with loads of spare space,then you would consider moving apps to your SD card,and running them from there.(Try using SuperBox to move the ones you can)
Running apps from your phone is quicker.
It has no affect on your battery life.

-- makes the phone faster, saves internal memory , your phone has a small hard drive or internal memory like a computers hard disk, the more free space you have on the phone the faster it would read or function. correct me if im wrong tnx
Hi guys. Thanks for the helpful replies. Really appreciate it. Thanks again!

[Q] How to move apps/games to SD card?

I've been trying to figure out how to transfer some files over to the SD; but when I go to settings, I never get the option to move to sd card. I tried two "App2SD" type apps and it's the same result. None of my apps have the option; the same ones on my Evo will transfer to the SD card. I'm using the microSD slot on the tablet itself. I get the notification when I insert it and the icon stays while it's in it. The card works fine in the Evo. Any ideas?

From my understanding, honeycomb doesn't support apps2sd. Unfortunately.
The TF's internal storage isn't partitioned in the same way your EVO is - you have practically all the internal memory available for apps. Hence, A2SD isn't strictly required.

So is the only way is to hook up the microsd and put the files our self?

SD Card Ability

Hi guys,
Just wanted to know the functionality of write to SD card option.
Is there a way to default the system to write all to SD card, or do you instead have to manually write each time?
Most important to me, can I pin Google Play All Access songs to the SD card? That would be really the only reason for me to buy the card so that I could store ridiculous amounts of music on my phone.
Thanks!
bump... thoughts?

Camera detected the SD card and considered default path for photos/videos.
In App manager you can move apps to SD card. I moved some, and can use them easily.
Some Apps are installed directly to the SD card (probably they have in their description this rule).

transfering apps to the SD card

Can someone check the ability to transfer apps to the SD card? I have a Verizon S7 Edge, when I transfer an app to the SD card it says it moves but nothing seems to happen. The amount to storage on the card doesn't change and no new files are created. I have tried this with Audible and Strava.

Yes, seems to be broken for me as well, it says to move and also shows it being on the external sd in the application manager afterwards, but the taken storage is the same on internal and external. It did create the subfolder in Android/obb for me on the external sd, but it was empty. I also tried to move the file within the folder by hand into the folder on the external, but the game simply wouldn't load afterwards (tried it with Implosion), just stayed on a black screen after the first starting screen.
Ok, found the problem, when you move the app from internal storage to external sd from within settings - > applications, it moves parts of the app from the internal data folder to the Android folder on the internal sd, what is pretty pointless...

You could enable Adoptable Storage so that some of your external SD card will be used for internal memory: http://www.modaco.com/news/android/heres-how-to-configure-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
I know, but even while i have a class 10 card, i don't want the speed impact when putting all on the sd, also I'd like to use the internal storage to its full potential and just put some certain apps to the external sd, but thanks anyways.

Samsung disabled the adaptive storage option. Here is the response I got from Samsung on the app data issue. I looks like they know the data isn't moving.
"I have checked our resources and found that whenever an app is moved to the SD card, only the app and the dependencies of the application for the Operating System to identify the app on the SD card are only moved. Data associated with the app is not moved to the SD card.
Let’s hope that our future updates should allow the user to move the apps data to the SD card along with the app.
I would have surely helped you if there was any other option to move the apps data to the SD card.
I appreciate your time in writing to us. "
Argh, how annoying is this? My s7 is doing exactly the same. Nothing is actually being transferred to the sd card with their move to sd tool! I'm glad I bought a 64gb card especially (not) grrr!
Just had a thought. Has anyone tried this with an encrypted SD card? Maybe that's why....
