Hi
Hi!
In order to swap internal memory with SD card for installing apps, you need to ger Developer Preview update Windows Phone 8.1 .
This is the update that goes with Cortana ( voice assistant for US region).
After you update to WP 8.1, you will have an option in Settings - where to store music, downloads and APPS - on external or internal memory.
Google " windows phone developer preview how to "
The update is easy to install and gives many nice features

First of all, sorry for my English. You ought to root the phone, and then install an application like mounts2SD, but I recommend that if you root, install a custom ROM, as listed below http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328

First, backup your phone data to PC
Second, read this thread, follow these steps to root your device if you didn't do so.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
Then install a custom ROM with sd-ext partition support (for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453287)
That's it!
I've installed Cyanogenmod onto my LG G3 D855, and a lot of the apps in my Play Store profile have been downloaded and installed to internal storage. Now, as I bought a 128GB MicroSD card, I'd like to make as much use of it as possible! So I'm going through apps and trying to move the ones that I can to SD card. However, each time I press "MOVE TO SD CARD", I get this message: "Couldn't move app. Not enough storage space."
My internal storage has 23.77GB free. My external SD card has 116GB free. Somehow, I think there is enough storage space to move apps that are maybe 50MB or 100MB. I also don't see anything obvious in CatLog about the failure to move the app. So, why am I getting this error? Is it something to do with the face that the LG G3 seems to treat the internal storage as another SD card? Maybe it's trying to move the app from internal SD card -> internal SD card, and getting this error? How can I fix it, and actually move my apps to my external 128GB SD card?

Same here on a totally different device (Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus - G910F) on Android Lollipop, no clue how to solve. Reformatted the card, made new partitions, etc.

I've come looking for an answer too for my GPad. I have enough space both internal and on the SD card but I'm getting updates breaking and can't move stuff to the SD card either.

I have the same issue. Please assist
Had same problem: 32GB card works fine, but 64GB card won't move apps even though there's plenty of room.
Solution: connect the phone to the PC and fill the 64GB card with at least 32GB of data (music, video, whatever...). Now when you try to move the apps, the phone will see less than 32GB free and it will work.
App manager in my HTC Sensation 4G apparently freaks out and chokes when it sees more free space available than it was originally programmed to deal with.

Very anoying since i have the 16gb version... My phone is full.. And cant move anything...
Hi,
I would like to swap the default storage to the SD card. I have T800 and find the 16gb not enough for all my staff.
Is there any way to swap the default storage? I have found link2sd but I never used it and maybe there is a better solution. I am rooted and running Ironrom .

Thanks for your reply. The app just allows to move the movable apps to the SD but this is already built in and I can do this from the app manager.
I wanted to swap the actual default storage from the internal storage to SD. Some of the smartphones do have this option. (I have a Honor 6 phone and I am able to change the default storage from internal to external. Even without root.)
Unfortunately you can't do that with any Samsung device, they just didn't fix it because of the SD card liability and how they construct their folders. I've been wanting that to make it easy.

That's why i am nostalgic to Jelly Bean . I even get lost of my Windows 8 laptop for the changes i don't like,happy now with Windows 7 and Microsoft knows it , the start menu is back in Windows 10.
And for Android,i stay far away from Lollipop. KitKat is bad enouf for me
when there's a will there's a way
No default to sd card but you can move the installed apps via settings in the apps manager. Also you could try foldermount to link these large files to the sd card
I can't move app to my SD, only External storage format. Someone have the same trouble?
I mailed Nokia customer support about this issue and eventually got the following reply:
Greetings from Nokia Mobile Care ! We are sorry for the inconvenience that you are facing!
Please kindly keep in mind that the Nokia 6.1 device, as well as all other Android 1 devices, do not have the option for Internal storage formatting of an SD card. Additionally, there is no option for forced formatting of an SD card as such.
We hope this information managed to answer your inquiry. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again!
Still waiting for an explanation as why the User Manual says that Apps can be moved to the SD card.
I believe in the reviews I read that Nokia chose not to implement "adoptable storage" in the 6.1
This is a trend in some new phones which is not welcome.

That option only force apps that normally can't be installed on SD card to be able to move, but we are not even able to move apps which can be moved.

From the AOSP site: "Caution: On devices running Android 7.0-8.1, file-based encryption can't be used together with adoptable storage. On devices using FBE, new storage media (such as an SD card) must be used as traditional storage. Devices running Android 9 and higher can use adoptable storage and FBE." Fingers crossed that when 9 rolls out for the Nokia phones in the Android One program, that adoptable stroage becomes an option. (again, the ability to use both fbe and adoptable stroage only affects phones in the Android One program, why? I don't know)
Adoptable Storage now available, but corrupts files!

The Pie update is finally here (Build 00WW_3_260_SP01) and it is now possible to format an SD Card as "Phone Storage" (aka "Adoptable Storage") but doing so WILL CORRUPT YOUR FILES!
Here is how to do it:
Format the SD Card using something the device won't recognize (NTFS, EXT4, etc.)
Turn off phone
Insert SD Card
Turn on phone
Tap the notification about Unsupported SD Card which brings up the storage options with a Format this SD Card? dialog popped-up on top of it
Tap CANCEL on the Format this SD Card? dialog to see additional options
Tap Phone storage in the Use for extra phone storage part of the screen
You will see another Format this SD Card? dialog that looks identical to the previous one
This time, tap FORMAT SD CARD
You may get a warning about the SD Card being too slow. Ignore that and proceed.
After the format completes, you may think you have working adopted storage, but you don't. Files written to /sdcard (which now points to the removable SD Card) will randomly be corrupted. One way to see the corruption is to tap the Move content button after the format above completes. If you had a lot of data on your internal SD Card (such as hundreds of pictures), much of it will now be corrupted. You were warned.
Another way to see the corruption is to use the adb utility to push files to /sdcard on the device. When you pull the files back, many will be corrupted. It's quick and easy to see the corruption using images (I push about 570 of them) and then launch Google Photos.
Which is worse, not supporting adoptable storage or supporting it and corrupting our files?
Hello,
I have purchased Nokia 6.1 one days ago. I can't find the option to make the sd card to internal storage. There is only a format option in the storage settings of sd card. Can't find the option "format and make as internal storage".
Is it possible? Or on this model this feature is not enabled!???!
Thank You.

I was hoping that the feature would come in pie update , but it didn't .
I guess no Nokia phone has that feature
it's because of Android ONE, not nokia's fault, AFAIK
Thank you for replying! Appreciate it.
Hello,
It's available with the Android PIE update for this device but there is a problem : look here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6-2018/how-to/adoptable-storage-available-pie-update-t3873841
