Since upgrading to lollipop I notice my apps automatically move from being stored on the SD card to the phone all by itself. Has anyone else experience this problem and/or know how to fix it?
Thanks!

Hi, this phone is amazing but the only problem is that it is always running short of internal phone memory as most of the applications are not stored in sd card. Can anyone suggest a solution for this? Is 'rooting' a solution? And if so, is it safe? And how is it to be done?
Please help
Thank you
Use SDMove to move applications to SD Card. It will show all the applications which can be moved to the SD card.
I would also like to know if we can configure the phone to use external memory as internal memory.
Hi sorry if this is just a super n00b question that is easily solvable but struggling.
I have moved from a stock based ROM to CM7. I previously had all my Spotify data stored on my external SD card.
On moving to CM7 I titanium restored all my apps but for some reason Spotify did not remember the location of all my music and I was unable to get it to save music to the external SD card.
On looking at the card from inside file explorer the phone seems to think there is only 499mb of data stored on thr external card (when in fact there is over 10gb of music).
I restored a nandroid backup of stock ROM and all the locally synced music is back and the phone recognises the data on external SD card.
I am a bit flummoxed TBH, anyone know what I should do?
Thanks
Anyone got anything on this?
Some apps seem to install to internal memory by default, and some to sd card if one is present.
Even more annoyingly however, many of the apps that default to SD card if you move them to internal memory MOVE BACK TO THE SD CARD when you update them.
Is there any way to prevent apps from automatically installing to the SD card? Or at the very least, installing to SD card is fine... but to prevent them from moving BACK to the sd card when you update them?
I've seen this question in 3 different topics on XDA and none of them is answered. My question is similar to this; Apps are installed on internal memory but app data is on external. As a result i have a completely empty internal memory and a full sd card. Tried possible suggestions on other sites but didn't work. Why can't we choose where to install the app data? How to move the app data back, since app2sd wouldn't work on this situation.
FYI, buy a bigger memory card is NOT a solution, it's a workaround for the actual problem..

Looks like your problem can be solved with "link2sd" which gives a permanent option on where to install apps. Search it in Google Play.
In my case (i have three different memory blocks) you have to do a repartition and a custom rom but i don't want to go there so i just mapped the drives with editing vold.fstab and bought a bigger memory card
After flashing official lollipop I tried out the newly introduced Move to SD feature with Oddworld Stranger. And even though it says the 1,12GB is on the SD card, actualy no files were moved, all game is still on the internal memory. I tried it then with other apps too, and it is the same for all, none of them are moved to my SD card, although it shows that in App information. Does anybody has the same experience?
I just bought a Z2 2 weeks ago, updated with the latest Lollipop update. And I found our that im having issue with moving data to my SD card. It was successful in moving data however when I tried to use them it seems that it was corrupted like apps - I cant open it, music - not able to play and pictures - cant show.
Ive rooted my phone already and tried sdfix however it seems its not working. How can I store/use my sd card. Btw I have a 64gb sd card. any recommendation to fix it.
and additional everytime I rebooted my Z2 my apps installed on sd card gets corrupted.
need help please..
That's odd.. I've never experienced that. Maybe you have a defective SD card? Have you tried copying files to and from your computer with the SD card?
