[Q] Cannot move application to sd card

Hello there..
I bought SDHC transcent class 10 16 GB..
my problem is I cant move application from internal storage to sd card..
but when I put musics and video clips to external sd card, I can play it...
anyone can help me??
There's nothing wrong with your card or tablet. Honeycomb utilizes the external SD card differently than previous versions of Android, in that the card is mounted as mnt/external_sd and the "built-in" internal memory is displayed as sdcard. Because of this, apps like App2SD won't work. I'd suggest two options:
First is to try crossix's memory swap mod, which switches the storage names so your microSD card becomes "sdcard".

You can also use the app GL to SD. It moves the large data files from games (like those from Gameloft) to the external card to free up internal memory.

Confused about types of storage and encryption

I'm confused here. The naming of type of storage. There is SD and External SD and "device". I assume SD is the internal (16GB) memory and External is the (64GB) Micro SD card I have inserted?
With that in mind, I get confused on file managers that say SD memory because that makes me think Micro SD card. They even show it as as a card icon in OI File Manager! But now I realize that exSdCard is my microSD.
So now my question is the encrypting. We have two options:
Encrypt Device and Encrypt SD card
This is confusing! Is the "device" the internal 16GB SD?
Or is SD the internal memory and Device is some other internal section?
Is there no option to actually encrypt my 64GB micro SDcard?
Halp
Device=accounts, settings, downloaded apps & their data, media if stored on internal, and some other files all stored on internal phone memory.

Saving on ext SD card

Hello,
I have sugarsync which stores its info on the SD card. The new Galaxy I just bought has its internal storage listed as SD card and the micro SD card is listed as ext. Sd Card. Is there a way to make my programs save their data on the Ext SD card instead of the Internal storage?

Transferring SD adoptable storage to a different SD card

Hello,
i have been using adoptable storage for a while and i like it.
My adopted card however is getting close to full so i would like to switch to a larger one.
Has anyone done this? Is there anyway to transfer the data from the old to the new adopted card?
I dont have enough space on the phone memory itself to move everything back to the internal storage.
i can move pics and music to an hdd but not sure about apps and associated data that is on the card.
Thanks in advance!
You can send all files in sd card with a secondary app like zapya to computer and resend them to sd card when you adopted new sd card in your phone
Have you looked at HTC SyncManager?
I wasnt aware of these options i will look into them and report.
Thank you
Shouldn't it work if you just copy everything on your SD card to a PC, place the new SD card, format it as internal storage, copy everything back and restart?
I'm not sure if this works, but your apps are still installed on internal storage, only app data is placed on SD card.
Check settings > storage
If you tap on your internal storage, there should be some GB at apps and just a few MB on your SD card.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Except that pulling the adopted storage eviscerates the file system...
The only strategy I could fathom would be to duplicate the image onto the new SD card plugged in USB-OTG. If that were even possible, a concern would be changes during copy, making it inconsistent.
converted to adoptable storage but no data import option in the SD Card in storage
I am using a Samsung galaxy S5 and i converted my SD card to adoptable storage using adb shell process. after that there are two options showing in storage settings, internal storage and SD card.
Is it converted to Adoptable storage? If yes then why is there no option of importing data in the menu of 'SD card' storage option.
and how can i transfer from internal to SD card. or can make use of adoptable storage properly?

Negative SD Card Storage Size?

I installed crdroid Android 7.1 to my d855 LG g3 today. Everything was fine until I checked my SD card storage. It gives me two options to use my SD card. First one is external storage which does not allow me to move apps to it, second option is internal. When I choose internal, it shows me a negative storage (-45gb). And apps can't be moved there because phone thinks there is not enough storage in the SD card. My SD card is Samsung evo with 64gb storage. Can anyone help me?
