I know this is not a new issue but I thought with the new android 4.3 update and the ability to move apps to our sd card it would have been a thing of the pass.
I'm on Jovi's 4.3 update and I am not able to download all the apps I want to, ( apps that I had on my s3 no problem) and I am also not able to update a few apps in my play store.
Am I missing something here, is there something I'm not doing correctly?

How would you guys do this? Manually I think its failing me and other apps like tibu don't work :/
I don't know why I bought this sandisk if it isn't hosting my apps.
Thanks

This always happens to me before, like all my apps on SD card randomly uninstall themselves, if I reboot, another one will be uninstalled while the previous is okay.
Usually, I go to settings > Storage > Unmount SDcard > then Mount SDcard afterwards.
This pissed me off so I moved all my apps to the 2gb partition... good thing I cleaned some of it so it occupies about 800mb...
Hm strange titanium backup still won't move but I'll try that app... Thanks
Edit: all app 2 sd does is make me go to the manual screen...

Tried to download the game Horn but to no avail. It tells me that my 16GB external SD card is full, even though its completely empty. Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it?
I'm running lightROM v0.4. I had my friend look at it and he copied the files over, but it still says it full, even with all the game files there.

Its probably trying to put it on the internal storage... link the files with a symlink to the "sdcard" from the external SD which is the inbuilt storage and your 16 gig respectively.

May I suggest a 3rd party app called "link2sd". Its pretty simple to use and u can do a lot with it. The only thing u need to do is read the instructions of the app, that state u must have a second partition on ur sd card, and boom, u have secondary storage on ur phone, and now I can play me some ME Inflitrator, Madden 12, etc.

My space is slowly disappearing and I would like to move my apps to my ext. sd card. I'm rooted currently running the awesome 1.40 Paranoid Kang rom and have a 16 gb sd card. I've searched but haven't been successful in finding anything. Is this possible to do and if so could someone get me headed in the right direction? Thanks in advance for any help.
Try downloading ROM toolbox I think you can do it with the app

Sorry rom toolbox will only work if you install new apps scroll down and you should see app to SD and hit external and all new apps should install there.
try titanium backup hit the check mark at the top right and scroll down you should see move apps to SD card

Does rom tool box allow game data to transfer as well? If not and you're a heavy gamer, you can use Directory Bind to have game data to your external while binding it to the game in the internal. I'm saving well over 10gb off my internal by doing this.

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]@@
Am I missing some memory? Shouldnt I have more available then 3.5? Is this normal guys I thought this phone has 16gb internal?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
You got one of the recall S4's probably. Shake the phone and see if you hear something rattle, if so thats the missing memory. Take it back to the store for recall replacment
Some of that 16gb is dedicated to the "system" (Rom and pre installed app)

You didnt happen to use CWM to back up, did you? If so, theres your problem.

Most likely the other part of you answer. Although its a 16gb device only around half of it is usable storage. Still after flashing a ROM I tend to have 7+GB available. Backups take a big chunk. 2.5 - 3gb and by default store internally. Move these to an external SD and select external as default storage on next backup. I actually have a separate 32gb thumb drive+ otg cable with a backup from multiple ROMs. And I select the USB otg option. Keeps my on board SD cards clean.
