Games data not moving to SD card - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I'm using Samsung Galaxy S3 16gb Rooted and I've downloaded few games and I got problem of memory low. So I've bought a 32gb sd card and I was trying to move them to SD card but they keep staying in my phone memory.
Please can anyone help me out?

Hi
for what I know, I think the games/apps are supposed to stay in phone memory, its not "possible" to move them to sd card. That said, I believe that there is some workaround, but I dont know myself to do it.
I guess there will be some answers from the people here that is more experienced than me

[ANSWERED] Does the photon also have a MicroSD card slot??

Ok i know theres a sim card slot, and 16gb of internal storage but im looking to see if there is a external slot for a Micro SD. I saw a post somewhere saying something about a MicroSD and another card possibly. but on the major sites like sprint. It only says 16 internal. nothing about external of having it or not.
Yes im aware of it being a stupid question but I see a site saying it does but then every other site doesnt even mention it.
It has an microSD card slot under the battery door. No need to remove the battery to extract the card.

Issues with my SD card

Hello all,
I've bought 8GB SD card and used it on my mini pro, I faced some issues like:
1. Alot of programs suddenly crash
2. Wireless connection gets dissconeccted automaticlly
3. The whole Android software get crashed and the screen goes into black, then this can't be solved if I didn't remove battary and reinsert it.
I Tried to check the SD card for bad sectors and problems but there were nothing.
Any Solution?
NOTE: I have another SD card (2GB) and it dosen't make any problem when in use.
If you remove the card the problems persist?

remove your sd card, run your phone and see if errors still occur
I have another SD card (2GB) and I am using it now without any problem
It doesn't make sense, but you can always sell it cheap to someone that can make a good use to it.. #short term solution..

This doesn't make sense.
SDcard has nothing, that could affect wireless connections at all.
SDcard has nothing, that could affect whole Android firmware. Neither should it make apps crash.
What manufacturer's SDcard did you buy?

MAYBE a problem with file system, connect it to pc, with a card reader or put phone in mass storage and format it with FAT32 system.. thats what my 8gb card has..

It's already in FAT32 file system
It happen to once with my cheap 4gb card when i paired with nokia n82.. Till now i don't know why the phone keep refusing to recognize the card. The irony is, the "rejected card" works normally on my current phone "sk17". it left me scratching my head.
If you can return it, return it. If its not worth it, just get a new one. Basically, you have done everything on you end, so its definitely the card's fault.

Check for SD card class,its written on SD card.If its less than Class 6 then you should buy SD card with class 6 or higher.
Second you should not place large files like multiple blueray pictures or multiple songs in single folder.And last you can speed up SD Card read,write speed by using SD booster of Root tool box pro app to make your SD card faster.
I thing class is not so important. I now using few year old 16 gb card class 2 without any problem

Weird but I have no reason not to believe you.At least you know that the problem is the card,so either return it and get a new one or buy a 16Gb instead.They re already pretty cheap! Opt for a class 6+!

Why should I avoid putting multiple songs in one folder? I have put like that and my sd works fine eh??
and the other thing if you had apps in the other sd which was 2gb and u put the 8gb one without transferring them to the 8gb card the apps should not work. Android system failure sould be a problem of memory management. Check whether you had filled ur card.
and yea I think the best solution for u if u have tried every thing, return the card

SD Card write speed problem

Hey everyone. I think I'm having a problem with my note. Information that is being wrote to my sd when it's in my phone is going at a rate 500kbs-1mbs. When I have it in my computer its 11mbs. I have a g-skill class 10 32g. The card is new because I thought my old one was broke but the new one does the same thing. I'm currently running CM9.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I don't know what's the problem but when I want to transfer lots of files I remove the sd card and put it in an adapter and move the files with the pc. I go nuts watching the files slowly move when the phone is connected to the pc.

SD Card problem

Hey guys,
I have a Verizon S4 ME7 rooted. I keep having an SD card problem. Randomly the SD card will unmount and wont remount. This happened over the weekend then the next day it started working again. I really dont know what the problem is. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know a fix for this? I have a 16GB SanDisk Ultra HC I.

What format is your SD card formatted in? As far as I know has to be Fat32 on a ME& rooted phone. Also I believe SanDisk had a batch of bad cards not sure if that applies to the 16gb but I know if was effecting the 64gb
Its fat32 and ive had this SD card in my s3 over a year ago with no problems. I dont want to buy another card if the phone is frying them.

Sounds like buying a new SD card is a good idea. You can't say it's frying SD cards when you're having problems with a single SD card which you've had for a year+.

Reason i said that is because ive seen multiple threads on different forums reporting the same problem. Has noone here had the problem? Should i get a Samsung SD card if it is the problem?

[Q] SD Card...

Hello All -
I am so confused, I have an SD Card in my Samsung Galaxy S3 that shows a total of 58.80mb, 58.77mb of that is showing as space available...
However, whenever I go to save something to the sd card I get a message that the SD card is getting full or there is not enough room on the card...
What gives... I cannot seem to get around this issue at all...
I appreciate any help...
Thanks,
Robbie

Are you sure its mb? If its really mb, then the message is probably related to the fact that you only have 58mb left Thats not much for today's storage capabilities.
Btw, could you report your own thread to be moved to q&a, please? It does not belong into general.

SD Card is internal memory on the S3, it's Ext SD you want.
