basic and i feel dumb, but I stuck an sdcard in my razr and can'ft seem to figure out how to make aps store. stuff there. Like camera, for example. and how would I store music there instead og the internal? stuff like that.
On phone is called SD.. or actual SD card is called sd-ext I believe..

You could store a lot of music on there if you didn't want to use Google Music.
You could move all your big apps to your Sdcard-ext with the application info in settings.
You could root your phone, make a backup of all your apps and store them in the external storage.

If you mean things you are saving off from the browser, it is in the browser options.
Not just that how about apps also!?

You have to move those manually I think. Under settings>apps>manage apps. After that go into a few of them. If they can be moved the move to sd card with be available. I don't think it can be done by default.
I use the app below myself. Every week or so, I'll load up the app and have it move whatever it can over to my SD card. You can set it to do it all in one shot or app by app, whichever you prefer. You can also enable a Notification to alert you when an app can be moved.

It's there a way to get the gameloft games to use an actual sd cards instead of the internal memory for the additional data? I'm running out of space too quickly. Thanks.

Look for App2SD in the Market. This should have been in Themes and Apps, BTW.
That's not what I mean. Games and apps look to the internal memory, which is labeled sdcard. Our sd card seems to be labeled external sdcard. If an app needs to install extra data, I want to know if there is way to get it to install to the external sdcard?

Im wondering the same thing. The only way I've been able to solve it is to flash cyanogen mod and it has an option there. I moved my modern combat 3 data to the external sd after i checked use external and it worked And it kept my saved data

Thanks I might look into that. This is the first Android phone I haven't needed to root or install another ROM on it.

There is a couple workarounds for this situation. Easiest and best way I like to go at it is just download "gl to sd" from the market. Pretty simple directions, basically it allows you to dl your app then for all gameloft games like 9MM, MW3 etc..and even some other huge extra data games it lets you move the huge extra data download to your external sd card and play the games as normal. It You wont notice any difference in speed,graphics, etc... I've saved myself about 8-9gigs so far easily on internal sd. If your a heavy game player or even occosional but dont want to bother copying files back and forth etc.. Make sure you go with a 32gig ext sd card. My 16gig started filling up very quickly once I found this program .
Any questions with the app let me know, the instructions are a little vague, but if you read reviews ppl explain in detail in case any of it confuses you, but its really pretty easy.
Have fun!
I believe tibu has a batch operation that'll move to sd. Not sure if it move to internal or external tho.
Thanks this sounds promising.

Apparently this is what our sd card is labeled.
Is there a way to force apps to use this rather than our internal 16GB?

It's called sdcard2 ext sd is just a listed path for apps etc.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I would like a force option as well since its not integrated in all apps.

Been looking around online.
Seems we will need a custom ROM for this option to actually put apps on our sd cards.
This internal storage only is a ''feature'' of manufacturer's.

It is so confusing.especiallycause I put in the card from my 3d

I would love to be able to mount the external SD card at /data/media and mount /data/media to the Sdcard2 spot. This would give us the option to have 32GB for app data for gameloft games...etc
The OP is right. Inside apps like Titanium Backup and Root Explorer it is shown as ext_sdcard or "external sd card"
The thought here, which only a few games actually do unfortunately, was that Game developers made their games to ask where you wanted the extra data installed too. I have only found a couple games actually do this (for ex Reckless Racing). kindof like the absence of menu being replaced by the action bar. Developers have to adapt to this.

Spotify only let's me sync 3,333 songs to my phone. I have a 64gb micro sd card and I'm only able to use under a third of it for my music.
I'm thinking of going back to Google Play Music All Access. But I know you can only pin to internal storage. Is there a way I can set my phone up to look at internal as 16gb+64gb to show up as 80gb internal storage? I imagine I would have to be rooted as well.
I'm using an AT&T LG Optimus G E970.
Any help is appreciated.

There is also directory bind and folder mount that you might search for. I haven't used any of them so not sure if they would work for you.
That is only known to work on stock ics. I made it and never tested on aosp or stock jb.
It would require changing the directory in the script.

Hey, anyone know his to move apps to the SD card in the MDK build. Can we just use any app off the Play store?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
I don't think so. A work around instead is using an app called folder mount. I moves the data to the sd card but the phone still thinks it's installed on internal memory. You need root thought. Try it out. It works great for me.
I want to upgrade the firmware to me7 but waiting until a custom recovery method can be installed first. Root is not enough for me.
Rooted S4
Bear in mind that the apps to sd ”feature” in ME7 is worthless. If you want to free up any appreciable space, you will still need to use a third party app to do so.
