App to sd card - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

How can you move apps to sd card without root. Plus app 2 sd app says my old 16gb sd card I pulled from my evo 3d and formatted can't have apps moved any ideas besides root. However downloads from this forum are stored on this sd card. Maybe I'm missing something coming from an HTC device.

You can't, Samsung switched it up for the S3, apps are assigned to internal storage

So I need it rooted then.

May I ask why you want to move apps to your SD card? I don't think it would be possible to fill internal storage with apps that you actually used on a regular basis.

actually quite a few games now use between 500mb-1gb space... it can add up pretty fast if you install all those really good games running awsomely on the s3

Just asking I have the 32GB version here is another odd find. I use Amazon mp3 when downloading the songs from cloud storage it puts the songs on both internal and sd storage.

16gb memory card vs nook talbet

Hello everyone I rooted my nook using indirect I notice that whenever I download any app's they do not load to my memory card if I try and put them on the card they are removed from my nook.

Why do you want them on the sd card? The internal storage is more than enough for them to install there whilst having all app data being stored on the sd card.
I would like to have them on the card because I have not set up the nook internals memory to get the full 16gb.

Check your free space for applications. It should be something like twelve GB.

If you rooted with Indirects method then all your apps are being stored in the 12GB portion of the NT. There is nothing to set-up.
So there is no need for the 16gb memory card or can I add it to.

A lot of apps will store data on the SD card. Like large 3D games for example- some are 500MB to 1GB downloads to the SD card.
And of course you'll need it for books, music and movies as well.
I think the Market and Amazon app store require an SD card be present.
what is that path to the 12 GB?
So can anyone please tell me how to set up my memory card where I can move all of my downloads to it.

Are you talking about moving apps? If so, I believe B&N has removed the necessary parts of Android to do this. I don't know that anyone has been successful with it.

SD Cards/Memory all messed up??? - Beans 6

Alright, so when I try to take pictures or screenshots, it says it's unable to do so because I'm out of storage or something? I have 1.5gigs of internal left, and 28gigs of external.
Any help/suggestions? Never had this before.
I am running Beans 6, by the way
Edit - figured it out
You had it set to ext sd card in the camera right? Once you change it to internal memory in the camera app it should work and then store it on the ext sd card right?

I'm having problems with a few sd cards on the stock verizon. My phone has been rebooting on it's own and the only thing that's fixed it so far was swapping the sd card out the first time and formatting it the second time.

I tried that, but even then it still wouldn't work. Downloading from browsers and all, didn't work either.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
You've not messed up. Breathe easy.
Internal SD Card is dowrn as sdcard0 and External SD Card as extsdcard under /storage.
More to the point, why are you using Link2SD in an S3??

On my phone none of them will allow you to move them. I have jelly bean.

You could always try Link2SD. It's an app that let's you move any app to a secondary partition on your SD card. I used it on a previous phone that had very limited internal storage. It helped a lot.

Also Titanium backup and similar apps will allow you to move apps to the sdcard (most apps need root).

Are you receiving some kind of error message? Could you explain your problem a little more so that we can help you?
Here are a few guides I found for Setting Up Link2SD on your phone's SD card. Here's another one.
I think the problem is the samsung phone. Same happens on the s3, where "sdcard" is actually an emulated location, part of the internal memory, just a label.
So, apps installed on internal are detected by normal means as already installed in sdcard. These phones usually label the removable sd card as extsdcard.
Nothing to do for the moment, apps like directory bind helped creating links (just as link2sd does) between external and internal sdcard.
Yes. It gives me a message about "shell".
