Hi folks,
I updated to the new stock version of lollipop a few days ago, and have been working through updating my apps accordingly -and reinstalling stuff I had deleted to free up space for a trip.
I went to move apps to the sd card to free up internal space and despite it showing as 25gb free I keep getting a message saying no space on sd card.
Has anybody else had issues like this?
Cheers,
John

Have you tried remounting the Micro SD card ...If so then your SD could be going bad...
I just replaced my 32Gig with a 64Gig card and everything works smoothly in moving Data and Apps on my tablet Z...
Cheers for that, good idea. I'll give it a whirl tomorrow

Have tried moving them through your settings and then choosing application? Some apps you can move while other you cannot.
Hmmm, tryed, but probably all the apps I tryed where non moveable, so I quited... gonna give it another go..
Thanks

My s3 is showing out of memory now. I have a 32gbp card with lots of green space and also my internal memory still 400mb remaining. I thought the apps got installed in the phone memory. Am I wrong? Is this 400mb limit?? Pls help . I'm on stock os, non rooted.

Your not wrong, thats why your out of storage space. All your apps are stored on your phone and not on your external 32GB card.
400MBs is all the space you have left on your phone. Try moving some music and pictures onto your 32Gb SDcard.
I know it's low. But when 400mb is available, atleast an app of 5mb or 2mb should get installed na???

Your phone still require some memory to perform other stuff like cache. Try to move your media files to ext sdcard.

+1 I love that app and bought it as well.
There are three ways you can do this:
1. Download and run link2sd- you should be able to download games straight to external memory.
2. Throught apps in settings- go to your apps, click on the app you want to send, and click move to SD card.
3. Through settings- you can go to the settings (Idk what section it is under) and change the installation place from internal memory to external memory.
Good luck and I hope this helps!

Folder Mount I found to be much easier to use than GL to SD

Seems that I have no room left on my phone storage & tons of space left on my SD card. How can I get my phone to put everything on the card, by default??
Would this work: if I hook my phone up to my PC, then just took all the folders on my phone storage, and moved them to the Card. Would my apps & stuff still work or would doing that not be good??

I don't think just copying the apps will allow them to work. You can use Application Manager to move some apps to the sd card.
I went thru all my apps & moved whichever ones I was able to move. But I did that a long time ago. So I still have no room on my phone storage.

Move photos, downloads and any music on your phone to your SD card too. Then in your camera app go to settings and change the SD card as default.
Download the free version of SD Maid and use it to clean up old thumbnails and program files still on your phone from before you moved them.
I once deleted 2gb of photo gallery thumbnails from my phone with this app. You can also see which files are the largest on your phone and SD card to see if you can move or delete anything.
I have this app on my phone, tab, and my kids tabs to keep up with their memory and storage usage.

Thanks, I'm also running out of space, I'll give this a shot.
Tonight I was gonna try to just backup all my.stuff and then start over. I use GO launcher and I saw that I have GO backup on my phone, so I was gonna try to.use that. I started the app & it said my SD card is corrupted or damaged. I included a screenshot of what it said:
So would this be the reason why everything is on my internal storage instead of my card? Or is that message just something I.should ignore??

If you have a card reader unmount your SD card, take it out and try reading it on a computer. If you can read it I would copy everything off and put in a temporary folder on your desktop. Then format the card with the computer and put it back in the phone, format it using the phone and try your back-up again.
If it works put the card back in your computer and copy your files back. Be sure to unmount the card each time. Mine went corrupt once because I didn't.
How do I make the SD card, the default storage for everything? Or is that not possible...

You would have to change defaults on all your apps, camera is a big one.
I love my Z2. I bought the LG G3 and S5 at the same time and sold my G3 and gave my son the S5. I was a dyed in the wool Samsung fan until they quit making international models that worked on AT&T with FM radios. I listen to talk radio all day on my Z2 without using any data and with little battery drain.
I have rooted the Z2 and installed the exposed framework, but am not able to move apps to the SD card like I can with my Note 2 and S5. The Z2 only comes with 16GB of storage internally. I cannot believe that there isn't a way to store apps and their data on the SD card. I know that with KitKat Google has been limiting what can be done with the SD cards ( very idiotic).
Any ideas?

Yes use the 'kitkat SD card full access' xposed module and folder mount to sort it out

That module does not allow one to move an app to the SD Card. Thanks anyway.

But this module allows any app to write to SD Card. Then you can use folder mount to mount apps and its data to sd card.
