Games and Apps to SD Card - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, i was wanting to move my games and some apps to my sd memory card in my s3......but I cant find the option for it. Ive tried App2SD from the marketplace but it doesnt let me select my external memory card, its like its blocked or something. I know the phone recognises it because I can move music and pics onto it via MyFiles app. Any ideas???

Internal SD card problems won't be picked up!

OK so basically I went from gingebread to jellybean by going to ICS in between. Whilst on ICS I noticed that the internal SD card wouldn't mount and in recovery it showed all of the file folders that there should have been but nothing in them. Now I'm on jellybean its the same. Is there any way to get it back to normal without going to stock?

check in file explorers for EMMC that will be your ext sd, if it shows up that way, look for an app on xda called RemountSD that will make your ext sd be shown as ext sd instead of emmc

I just get this.
OK what's happened is that the two files that I put on the external SD card are in download and nothing is in the external SD card file. I just need my internals back.

Update: I can't take a screenshot of notifications but that other screenshot I took, in notifications under the screenshot it says SD card is currently in use and shows a USB symbol although my phone is charging from a wall socket.

Try...from that screen press favourites, hopefully your get this (screenshot)
then press the phone icon and hopefully your get (2nd screenshot)
from there hopefully your find all your stored ext sd files in the emmc folder. If that is the case the i would recommend finding the RemountSD apk on xda, it saves alot of confusion finding your files

This is what I get. There was 2 lines more but thy were nothing.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Only thing i can suggest is if its nothing is in your extSD folder in that area then as a long shot, try fi ding and using the RemountSD app, do a search on the xda forum, it should be easy to find, once its installed tell it to remount and hopefully that will solve your problem and everything will be found on ext sd
this is the link to the app, hope that helps

Thanks for the help but the apo didn't do anything because I think the locations are wrong. I'll try reverting back to stock gingerbread or ICS later...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
No probs, hopefully someone will be able to help out more, i've not used any JB roms yet, if your looking for something custom but close to ICS the neutrino rom is quite good, comes with the remountsd aswell, i've not had any probs so far over the last month or 2 using it

Try ics sd binder first and see if that helps

Ok if it helps when i go into storage instead of internal sd card it says usb storage.

Can you access it from recovery, mounts and storage and back them up to a pc. Not practical but at least you might salvage your pics.
Also I used ICS SD binder with no problems, you have to change the file path from emmc to extSdCard though otherwise it won't find it.

Apparently all it needed was a factory reset/wipe data.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Edit I was wrong. Basically I wiped and rebooted into f1 pure gnex rom. Went into camera and behold my 500 pictures were there but all blank. I then rebooted again and they all disappeared.

It isnt possible to move apps to SD .. it is however possible to move game data onto the memory card using link2SD. You will need root though.

Pics to external sd

Hey all I'm running cyanogenmod and I was wondering if there is a way to default the camera to store pics on the external SD card and not the internal.

Jb camera will allow you to select where your pics get stored....its in the Market
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Just seems strange that there is no way to select it. Seems like if I were to upgrade my phone I would have to forcibly move my photos to my SD card or I would lose them all.

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".
