Hey guys I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" and I'm trying to move my apps to SD card as my internal memory is almost full. I've tried some apps from Google play but none of them work with me. In settings/application manager there's isn't the option to move the app to external storage. How to solve this? Any help would be nice. (PS:sorry if this is the wrong area).

Not all apps can be moved to SD. There are system level apps which should stay in internal memory itself. Try app2sd or link2sd
umm, titanium backup pro

Hi folks,
how can I use the "internal" memory of the SGSII for apps?
APP2SD does not work, 'cause it tells me, that there is not enough space to move apps. It only works with a real SD card inside.
What can I do?
Thanks.
Ty
Try the search button instead of repeating the same old questions PLEASE .

I did! Can you provide a link or a hint what I should search for?
A search for "APP2SD" gave me no hits in the i9100 forums.
But you in your holy wiseness can tell me, right?

Okay thanks.
But the question is still unanswered. None of the threads gives a definitively answer, if there is a way to use the internal usb storage for apps or not.
As you see, for fhe Samsung Nexus S the internal memory is mounted to /mnt/sdcard, too and it works.
So it should be possible. But how?

That's the free RAM.
CM7 Partitions 1.5gb for apps. You can load up on music and videos to SD card. At the moment that's how it works. Apps can be moved to SD.
Settings/applications/manage applications/click the app/move to SD. Useful for most things besides widgets.

Is it possible to move apps to the second partition of the SD card on the S3?
You can try directorybind

I have read this topic about moving apps to SD card, only read few pages but it seems that over 4.0 firmware, Google stopped it so you can't move apps to a second partition of SD card, correct me if I'm wrong,

You can't test by yourself?

I'm sure there have been a plethora of topic and/or posts devoted to my question so please bear with me! If there is a specific thread/posts related directly to my question then please direct me there.
I desperately need an app that can move files to my SD card on a NON-ROOTED phone. I would appreciate any tips or suggestions.
Thanks!

I'm guessing you need an app to move apps to the (external?) SD card , right? If that's the case, there are plenty that try to do just that, but they usually need root access. Those that work without root access (e.g. Apps 2 SD) are only able to move certain apps, as the vast majority does require root access to move them.
If you meant regular files, I think the default file manager would do the trick. Or any other file manager (e.g. Astro File Manager).

Sorry for not being more specific.
I'm definitely trying to move files to my external SD card. I think that I may have seen Apps 2 SD but forgot about it. Yea, that's the one major problem with the S3 is the inability to move apps to the external SD card. And, I'm painfully aware that most of the apps out there are for rooted phones, which just sucks.
Oh well, I'll download the A2SD app when I free up more space to do so.

I'm now at my breaking point with this dang phone! After deleting over 20 apps that have resided on my phone for months & moving dozens upon dozens of files to my external SD card, I'm still getting the annoying message "Storage space running out..."
I've attached a couple of screenshots from Settings > Storage Settings to see if anyone can make heads or tails from them.
Thanks.

Finally after doing some more research turned out one of the major culprits were the Miscellaneous files under Storage> Settings. Got rid of most of those & now I'm back to'normal'.

App 2 SD won't work on the S3. Your only options are DIrectory Bind and swapping external and internal cards using a flashable script

That's the first time that I've heard that one of the App 2 SD apps wouldn't work on a non-rooted S3. Directory Bind is just fine if you have a rooted phone, which I don't.

The Play store won't even let you download it cause it's incompatible. And it says that in the description

There are numerous apps that go by the same name so I guess it's a matter of who the developer of the one you're referring to. That said, agreed that most of them do have a disclaimer.
What gets me is in a lot of the reviews, users state that you can accomplish moving apps to an external SD card on the SG3 without an app on a non-rooted phone. Haven't figured that one out yet!

No, the S3 doesn't allow moving apps to SD

I know. That's why I don't get all of these various user reviews slamming all of the so-called S2SD apps because 'you can do it yourself on the SG3.

I have had my galaxy s4 for about a week and a half now and love this phone. I still have 7 GB of space left, but tutorials online that show apps could be moves to the SD card. I have a Verizon Gs4 and when i go to application manager i do not see the option to move apps to the SD for all of my apps. I even tried installing a app that the tutorial shows was installed on the SD card and i could not move it. Has Verizon not launched the update for the S4 to install Apps to the SD card? It would be nice to move some apps to the SD card.
There should be an update soon. It is rolling out in Germany first.

At this point, we're unable to move apps to SD card. As you mentioned there is an update slated for the int'l version S4 - will be obviously after that b4 the Verizon mods are implemented. These is a app in the play store "folder mount" that could definitely help to maintain internal space: must be rooted

ok thanks for the reply
The update will be useless in regards to reclaiming space. You're better off buying the pro version of Folder Mount and using it to symlink Android/OBB.

If your comfortable with rooting, romming, etc... Most custom roms cut out a lot of the pre installed jazz. Off a fresh install of Clean Rom 1.9 I'm using less than 1gb of my internal storage.

Has there been any news on this?
If I'm running a custom ROM will my phone be able receive this update, or will I have to wait for the ROM to be updated as well? TIA
There is a nice program to perform this task ..You can Also transfer basic programs to external memory, but they need root...
Might I be so bold as to ask the name of said program?
