Dump all game data to external SD? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded GT Racing Motor Academy and want to download it, but face the problem of not having enough space. I have a 32gb external SD card and moved the app itself to the SD card but want all the 650mb of game data to download to it. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

Normally when you download a game with data of that size when you download the game it will ask on first run if you want to download it to internal or external storage... Did it not present you with this option?

I believe there is a "directory bind" app posted on XDA. It should work for your case. Needs root.

Yes you can do that if you use dolphins hd browser. This is what you need to do.
Open the dolphin hd browser.
Then hit menu button and select more-settings -data storage settings-Download directory.
Then type: /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/folderName.
I have tested this and it works.
Edit: the same can be done on stock browser by selecting the default storage from phone to sdcard. It'll automatically create the download folder.

The data is located here:
/sdcard/.SamsungMediaHub/files
Not sure if you can have them saved on the external SD card. I downloaded and watched a few shows using the credit they gave us and then deleted the program.
U know what just forgot it i figured it out and that guy that posted earlier and said ure duchbags its true...

Games and Apps to SD Card

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???

Telling me I don't have enough storage but I do.

Hey guys I have about a gig of free space on my internal storage and close to 10 gigs on my SD and my phone keeps telling me to free up space when I try open the gallery. Any ideas?

If you're rooted and dirty-flashed a rom, you can get the same error. I had the same issue awhile back with a particular rom I flashed/upgraded. Hope that helps.

could be not enough room in the system partition due to the way some apps work?
just guessing but the space it needs might not be in the partitions you are looking at?
how can I view the internal storage on my phone? it says I have 9 gigs full but I don't know how to view it in astro

Storage

Okay I Love my dna but I'm am so mad there isn't an SD card slot and all my storage is being used up by some unforeseen ghost. I have 10 gigs of storage being used by, "other" and u have no idea where it is going to. My best friend has the dna as who with the same issue. I have 2 gigs of music, 1.5gigs in my downloads and 1 nandroid (1 gig). That is all I have put in my phone besides the apps and app data. If anyone else has this problem or any idea where my storage is going I would greatly appreciate some help

What's the total of the bloat on the phone? I don't think it counts the bloatware as app data.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Dude, check the data/media vs the 0 folder. You probably have quite a few duplicates in there.

Yeah if you've switched to 4.2 or 4.3 from 4.1.2 that's your problem best bet would be to format your internal SD card.

I dont want to lose all my music I've downloaded and I don't have a computer. Is there any way to backup my music besides Dropbox or play music?

No.
That's what I thought. So full wipe and then could I push my back up to my phone and restore it?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You should be fine doing that, also there is another way... Get a USB drive and an otg cable and back it up to the drive. Otherwise I would suggest using dropbox over play music, last time I checked when you redownload something from play music it doesn't necessarily download it at the quality it was before.

Running low on space!

Maybe this is a noob question but I'm running low on space in my internal storage and can't figure out why. I ran sd card analyst inside of es file manager and can't figure or why it's low on space.
