From what I've read that's something with 4.2.2
They use the internal storage as a simulated sd, and the actual sd is a completely different thing, that you apparently can't put apps on. Good for movies, pictures, or any kind of media but it looks like app2sd is dead at this time

How do I make my SD card the main use of my memory? I have a 32 gig but every time I try to dl a game like 9mm or even try to send some pics it says memory full I try deleting things I try putting apps on the root of my SD card nothing works please help

Search "GL to SD" app at Google Play. This app moves your games and some apps from the internal sd memory to your 32gb card- external sd card. Saves you some space.

I agree with this statement
i have 16GB internally but 64GB in a mSD. how on earth do you move game data that doesn't ask where to install to the sd card?
You can't unless you root
i have root
Search Directorybind on xda via Google a d try that
Works perfectly for me!

It's move all apps or selected apps?

It moves directories, so you can choose directories of specific apps/games or for example all games by binding /sdcard/Android /obb to the external sd card.

And is it running in background?
neither work for me. the GL to SD moves data but nothing else. the games still wants to download.
the other - directorybind - says i'm not selecting a valid directory. i used the internal browser in the app. guessing because it's set to extsdcard instead of sdcard.
doesn't seem to support JB going by that

You have to specify the correct prefix via the menu settings.

what? that applies to the assistant according to the blurb underneath it
ok decided to let the assistant do its thing and it did move the data.
shame it did it in a totally useless and just moved it to another path on the same internal space! instead of sdcard>data etc, it moved it to sdcard>external_sd > etc.
so still on the internal storage, not the actual SD
basically, this thing doesn't work on JB yet.
Why is my 16 gb T-mobile Note 2 only showing 10 gb? Did i get a defective device, or does this particullar device use 6 gb for system? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Quite a bit is used for the system, and is normal (unfortunately)

You can always buy an sd card, you can add 64gb. At least we have an option to add an sd card. If you need more space there's options.

And if you get a usb OTG cable, you can add a flash drive to add even more storage! I got a 64gb card in the phone and another 64gb flash drive which I've loaded with music and videos.

I was looking for an easy way to do this because I am lazy. Saw scripts and stuff but that seemed like work.I tried this, but I am not certain it works, at least not well. I ran it, and it says it ran successfully, but the device memory didn't change at all. Same amount taken up by applications, same available space over all.
However, I did try to move the apps back and forth again to test this, so maybe it moved once, but then refused to move any more. Not sure...
Do I have to have a rooted phone in order to move stuff to my sd card? This is insane that u can't move apps or music to an sd card. WHY would Samsung do that?

They are probably not transferring because they don't run properly from the external sd. There's plenty of room for apps in the internal.

I rooted my s4 but I have no clue how to move anything to the micro sd card its 32 gigs class 4 I bought music from the playstore and some apps and just want to move it to the sd. This is my first android I had ipod/iphones before this
Welcome to Android
First off, congrats on the switch to Android. I personally believe you won't want to go back to iPhone. With that said, I don't have my S4 yet, but if it's anything like other Androids, you can use a file app (I use Astro) and move any files back and forward as you see fit. You can also mount the phone to a PC and move it that way or put the SD card itself in the PC. If your filling up the whole 32GB or a lot of data, the fastest would probly be mounting the SD card itself into the PC.
Hope this helps, but then again.... I'm still waiting for the S4 to release in my area.
I found a way to move the music to sd card just not apps I think they made it harder to move because no apps I download do it but ill try astro. Ipod/iphone jailbreaking is simpler lol.

Not if you plan to install games.
I have a 32gb iPhone 5 and have at least 17gbs in games alone.
I'm also looking for a way to install apps on the SD card.
I haven't open my GS4 yet so I can return it incase we can't.
600+ for a 9GB is a not good.
@@@use " link2sd " application...download from play store...its not only let u too move apps to sd...and u can also uninstall unwanted system apps if u [email protected]@@
I would really like to free up some space on my internal SD. I bought a 64GB SD card , and am using FolderMount to try and move the apps, but to no avail. Anyone figure this out yet? I am rooted running Infamous S4, and have removed all of the bloatware possible. Still really low an memory.
I use the stock file manager to move apps, i had this same problem with storage. Do you have more than one backup saved on your internal sd?

Like I stated in the original post, I am using FolderMount. The problem is the folders where the games should be are empty when I look for them. That is the ones I can find. Its like they don't really exist. I went into my data folder, did find one game, Zynga Poker, and tried to move it, pinned it, and it did absolutely nothing.
Your not moving the whole folder then. Your doing something wrong. Watch a couple YouTube videos on how to. Navigate to SD card, android, data or obb and select one of your games inside either of those two folders
