Hi,are there any Samsung GS III 16 GB International Version owner got App2SD problem like I do? When I try to send apps to SD card by using App 2 SD ( pro or free don't matter ) The app said " The device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary external storage is emulated. Moving app to SD function may not be supported by this device. "
WTF?! This is a Galaxy S III using ICS 4.0.4 XXLF2 it doesn't support app to SD function? The phone does show the SD card and it's content ( songs,pics from previous phone ) but apps can't be moved there.
When I google it I've seen a lot of people got the same issue but no ones able to provide anwers.
So now I can only use the build in 16 GB. Can some one help to answer this if you know the reason why.
Thanks in advance

am unable to move any of my 3rd party applications from phone memory to external sd. I have checked the application apk file and the install location is set as auto, still am not able to move. Is this known issue in S3?
Thanks

As Far i Know there are few options but App2SD will not work as S3 has different mappings to external SD , there is a app which creates SymLink which can be used to move large folder out of internal to external card
Search for it in the forums

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
App to SD is a 3rd party software, thats fine, but when we got to settings application manager and open any one of the installed applications, we will have an option to move apps to extrernal SD. even that is being disabled in S3.
If moving applications from internal memory works on other phones like sony,HTC and even in samsung S2, Galaxy note etc, why it is not the same in Samsung Galaxy S3.
Note : ICS 4.0.4 is installed in my Samsung Galaxy S3. I have checked few other mobiles like Samsung Galaxy note, Samsung Galaxy S2, Sony Xperia Ion etc which has ICS 4.0.4 installed. In all the mentioned phones am able to move installed applications from Internal memory to external SD.
All i wanted to know is moving applications from internal memory is a core andriod feature or not. (if am correct this was released in Android 2.2). If it is a core android feature then why samasung doesnt provide that feature in Samsung Galaxy S3 alone.
Expecting your reply.
Thanks

I have a Samsung Galaxy win and it was already rooted. Now i think a have the china or taiwan version of Galaxy win because the internal storage is only 1.48 GB
now i can't install games that requires more than the available size of my internal storage. for example need for speed most wanted. whenever i install the game it says
"Insufficient Memory
1960 MB is required for your game insert or clear space on your sd
memory card to begin download"
the good thing is again, my grand quattro is rooted and i have 16 gb micro sd external storage.
Please help me "Knowledgeable ones" to find a way to install the game like need for speed most wanted in my samsung galaxy grand quattro with only 1.48 GB available storage.......

i already have gl2sd in my win. but what i know is that it transfer the whole data of the game from the internal to external storage.
but how can i move the internal data if the game doesn't let me to install the game in the first place....
but i already somehow managed to know a little bit about this. and that is to download an apk + data...
install the apk, transfer the data to external storage and just use supermount to mount the external and the internal storage.
i don't want to pirate but i don't have a choice... im sorry.
any way my other question is. what other samsung galaxy unit games that are compatible with samsung grand quattro?. because its hard to find a game specifically to grand quattro in terms of finding it on the other way....
Dont need to pirate, just download game data from any other source and put it in folder of ext sd card according to gl2sd and install apk and n mount data in gl2sd and open the game.

Asphalt7,8 nfs hp, nfs mw, dark night rises, mc4, cod, nova, amazing spider man, fifa14, real boxing, pvz2... these games are working fine on quattro. In some games a bit graphics prob but tje gameplay is smooth and no lag at all. And some games are not officially supported for quattro so there are no other choice than downloading from other sources.

This is not working as after swaping both internal and external memory size showing same as it was before in internal sd card. So directry binder or gl2sd or folder mount is good option.

If you still didnt find a solution, see this guide, works for every android if you have SD card large enough and you know your internal and external sd card paths
click thanx if I helped you

This tutorial works for me, but after reset the cards won't get changed just open the external to internal app and tap the button External>Internal again.
hi i know this is abit out dated but Mostwanted just went on sale for 20c in AU and after installing it on my rooted J1 ACE 4G (900mb left on internal + 10GB on SD) which i applied the SDCARD fix for KITKAT and having enough money left from Google Surveys ($3.10) to buy Most Wanted and LINK2SD PLUS (to copy obb and apps to sd card like Fallout shelter and terraria)
when i launch Most Wanted it loads the downloading phase and says:
"Insufficient Memory: 2055MB is required for your game, but only 0MB storage available on your
device. clear space on your device to begin download.
now thats wrong i have 900mb left on my device, how do i fix this. and i cant find a working obb for v1.3.69 of this game
Whoopsie Whoopsie !!
Easiest way is to have a rooted device, and install foldermount android app
Follow the instruction as per app, Simple 2-3 clicks process and enjoy games and apps of larger size way beyond your imagination. Always worked for me. Ext2sd and blah blah apps are waste.

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 5830i and today I bought a new SD card because the old one was crap. I had this problem before, I have it now. When I try to download an application from the Android Market, there is always this error ''There is unsufficient storage available''. I checked and I had 23 free MB of Device memory and 1.8 GB free on my SD card. I read a lot of articles about this problem and tried many ''solutions'' and nothing fixed it. I will be really, really thankful if anyone can help me fix this. Cheers :good:

You can always use scripts to increase the memory like CronMod Unofficial. But the problem with scripts is that it lags after you install some apps. This is because your ext partition is mounted as the /data mount point and SD Card read /write operations are slower than internal memory read/ write operations. So I suggest you use Link2SD Extreme which lags less compared to other scripts. Link2SD places the app link locations in the internal memory and corresponding data in the ext partition. Since the links are in the internal memory, it will be much faster. All you need is a rooted phone, rom with init.d support (all custom roms have one) and ext partition on SD Card (Go to CWM> Advanced> Partition SD Card> Size (1GB)> Swap(0MB) wait for "Partitioning Done!" message). Make sure to do the setup right. If you created the ext partition using CWM, choose ext3 as the partition type from Link2SD pop-up. Only if that doesn't work go with ext2 or then ext4. Here is the link,
Link2SD Extreme
Try to implement this is a newly flashed rom with newly created ext partition. Hope I Helped
I have a rooted LG G Pro Lite Dual with stock ROM.
The first reason I rooted my android is to move apps to SD. But on my device, i can't!
I used Link2SD+ to move the apps, but not even one app moved. App moving action is always came with a message, it says:
FAILURE
App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage.
It also said - Second partition not found -
Please, help me :crying:
