hi,
i am plannning to buy a nanosd, and i wanted to know if android 9 allows to install all apps on nanosd card or is it just used as an external storage for pictures or files?
thxx for your feedback
Developer options > force allow apps on external storage
hmm i don t see it, maybe because i have no external storage yet
i ve found it ... damm i am hopeless! i ll see if it works when i ll get the nanosd
thx for the tip
you are welcome..
Hmm, I wonder what kind of speed we will see off those things? I hope the prices on these comes down, it is such a cool and unique feature of this phone.

They download and install to the phone. If what you're asking is where does the original apk go you can find it in data/app

You don't.
there is a forum on devlopment thread appto sd which might be of some help in case you wanna move ur contacts to sd card, personally i havent tried it coz i never used so many apps, but please refer it in case you want to move ur apps..
The apps all collect together in a little room inside your phone, which is full of thousands of the little green android guys, and the each take a little piece of the app, and then when you touch the screen, or press one of the buttons, they all run around with little torches shining them in the right spots to make what you see on the screen.
If you get a microscope, you can actually see them doing it.
But you've got to be really quiet, cos they're very timid, and they'll try to hide from you.

If your phone has ever locked up, now you know why, you were being too noisy.
Hi all,
Should it be possible to change the default storage location for data that programs save ?
For example: i use subsonic to get to my music from my server, but it saves the cached music files to the internal memory.
But i would like to change the location where it is saved, so i my internal memory stays free to save some movies on it.
Also Whatsapp, Torque and all other apps save their data (or backups) to the internal memory.My memory card has been in my phone for about a week and android hasn't done anything with it ...
I haven't found any options in the android preferences nor in the app's.
I also did a quick search on google, but i didn't find anything related, so i now ask the experts, i hope you can help me!
Thanks in advance!
BTW:I have my SGSII for more than a week and it is awsome, i use Lightnin rom and i like it...
Anybody ???

Whats the exact location that those apps save data and is in unique?
Really a dev should should have options in the app, but I assume your talking about the app saving onto /sdcard instead of /sdcard/external_sd ?
Kind of a pain but if that is the case, then the problem is you have a guaranteed sdcard that holds a non-guaranteed sdcard. So most devs will opt for the former.
Having said that it maybe possible if the location is unique, to create a symlink to the external_sd if you really really wanted.
Hello guys,
I'm absolutely furios right now... just bought a new SD card and guess what? Insufficient storage available.... I read like 50 articles, tried many ''solutions'' and nothing helped... I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 5830i. If anyone can help me I'm even willing to pay. Just want to play games
Firstly, you have to check if the sdcard is fake:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730285
You could buy a 64 GB card and have the same message. The message is about the internal storage, not the SD card storage. Most apps and app data do not automatically save to the SD card (for a variety of reasons). This is not an issue with the phone (other than the fact that it's a budget phone and all the downsides that entails), as it's only made to do so much. If you are rooted, there are some options, possibly, such as Links2SD, swapping the mounting points to switch the internal and external storages, or something like one of the CronMod solutions. If you aren't rooted or don't want to, then your options are severely limited to basically moving some of the apps to SD, if supported, but it's not a great solution as it does not move much of the data over and doesn't support all apps, meaning don't put keyboards, live wallpapers, home launchers, or widgets on the SD card.
Hi, i had the same problem with the same phone and as es0tericcha0s say root is the solution, then you can do what you want you will see. if you have question you can ask me.
I love the SGP611, except it's low memory. I was anxiously awaiting MM and then so disappointed when they didn't allow you to utilize SD card more. My daughters tablet is used for apps and its stores such a sorry amount of apps. Is there any way I can change the memory to SD card without rooting it? I don't want to brick my daughters tablet and I'm not sure I'm confident enough to root it, plus we couldn't afford a new tablet if something went wrong. Any advice would be appreciated.

How does that help give it more memory/space?

I think you mean storage, not memory (two different things altogether)...that's why the other person recommended going back to 4.4. Pretty sure he was referring to better RAM management than 6.0.
Really, your best bet is to have her be mindful of what apps she actually uses. Most times there are games rarely ever opened hogging up storage.

Thank you, you are right I do mean storage. I wasn't aware of the different wording. All I really want is for my memory card to be able to have more on it. I wonder why Sony chose not to go with making external storage your main storage. Is there a way to force it to go to SD card without rooting?
oh sorry I had in nind that on kitkat you can transfer apps on sd.I saw it now and I can't.beside this,if you plan to root it,it worths cause in MM there is very high risk if you transfer apps to sd..

What you can do SAFELY, is go into your App settings and change what storage they use. Not every App has the ability to do this. Some games have this option, Pokemon Go being one of them. You can move the data stored on device internally to instead be stored on SD card. This can add up if several apps can do this.
Anyways, it's a thought.

Yes, thank you. I have done this already. I appreciate your advice. Is there anything I can do that is less risky than rooting, and perhaps a little more novice friendly, but isn't 100% risk free? My daughter is only 4, but she loves having loads of different apps and rememebers ones I've deleted.
Here's a post I found that digs into the issue more. With some solves laid out in a tutorial. Sony seems to have disabled the feature in MM...this will enable it.
Adaptable Storage
You can also give the Sony suggested walk-through below a try...let us know if it helps.
You might also try using a lower capacity SD card...sometimes certain devices can be finicky with anything 32GB or over.
It looks like Sony devices have been mentioned in that regard.
Here's some tips for managing your available memory. Try these methods one after the other.
Open the notification by dragging the status bar downwards, then tap the notification. The storage menu opens.
Move files or apps to the memory card (SD card), if you have one inserted.
Move files to a computer (if you no longer need them on your device).
Delete files from the internal memory.
To move files from the device memory to the microSD card (if inserted):
Open Settings > Storage
Scroll down to the end of the menu and select Transfer data to SD card.
Select the items (photos, videos and music) you wish to move to the SD card.
Un-select a category if you see the information, that there is not enough memory on the SD card to transfer all files.
Select Transfer to start the transfer to the SD card.
To delete files from the device memory:
Open Settings > Storage > Internal Storage.
Tap a category to select what you want to delete from the device memory.
Depending on the category selected you have different options on how to proceed:
Apps: Selecting Apps will open the Apps menu. Here you can uninstall downloaded applications, if you do not need them anymore.
Pictures, videos: Selecting this option will open the Album application or Google Photos. In these applications you can delete pictures or videos to free device memory.
Audio: If you tap Audio you can see the audio tracks currently stored on your device memory. You can delete tracks using the File Commander or the Music / Walkman application.
Downloads: In this category you can see a list of all files you have downloaded to your Xperia™ phone or tablet. To delete a file just touch and hold it and then tap the trash bin icon in the top right corner.
Cached Data: Applications can aggregate quite huge amounts of cached data while working. If you select this category you can delete all cached data at once. This will not delete any personal data. Deleting the application cache from time to time is highly recommended to free device memory.
Misc.: In this category you can see files and folders which have been created manually on the device memory. To delete a file or folder just tick the checkbox in front of the file or folder name and tap the trash bin icon in the top row. Please be careful while deleting files and folders, as a deleted item cannot be recovered.

Note that as of Marshmallow you can definitely move apps to the SD card, but only the ones that Sony hasn't bundled as part of the ROM. However, even doing so doesn't change the cached files that those apps use... For example, I had Hearthstone installed, and while I can "move" the app to the SD card, it still unpacks over 1GB of files to the internal storage, which sort of defeats the purpose. I have a 64 GB card, and as long as its Class 10 or above you shouldn't have any issues with not being able to write or use it for media files, etc
I ended up removing the game all together, and I can't remove enough of the bloatware to free up space.
When you're in the Storage screen as listed in the above guide, you also can't set the SD card as default.. the option to do so doesn't appear within Sony's ROM.
I would suggest that OP looks at the games she has, and removes the larger ones, keeping more of the smaller ones installed. Otherwise, unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom ROM is the only other choice if you want to stick with that hardware and want to free up more room
While moving (most of the) apps to SD card memory was no problem with the Xperia Z5 and Android 7.1.1, I didn't find any way to manage this witth the XZ1 / Android 8.
Any hints or ideas?
Can you try this:
Enable Developer options: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/enable-developer-options-android-o-8-0/
Then go to Settings => Developer Options and check if there is an option near the bottom of this list for "Force allow apps on external". This may enable the ability to move certain apps to SD Card. Try a reboot and see if you can move some apps or games to SD card.
Honest question.. What is the reason to use SD card for APPs in a device with 64GB of internal memory?

This is more for the XZ1 compact, which uses the same software base as the XZ1 but has only 32GB. There also seem to be more XZ1 users out there.

Honest answer. If you had a device with 64GB internal storage and 400GB SD card, where would you put as much memory load as possible?

Ah ok, no joy even after a reboot?
Sony seems to enjoy stripping functionality from it's Xperia range as it goes along, apparently in the name of simplicity. No double tap to wake, no moving to SD card, etc. Bummer.
AAAAAH!
Just found this thread after trying to move apps to the SD card on my new XZ1 Compact. So there's no way?!!
one of the main benefits of Android over iPhone was features like this in my opinion.
wish I'd known this before getting the phone. Prefer the smaller size of the handset, but I'm already using 60% of the internal storage. would have considered the full size XZ1 had I known.

My honest answer: Still internal for apps, since external storage is always slower.
Pretty much same reason I install all programs on my SSD despite my HDD being way bigger.
Ok, that is your decision . But why am I not allowed to decide what to do for myself?
i am using the compact. 32g is enough for almost everyone. most people cycle through several apps and a few games weekly. any of those being able to be changed in moments and swapped out for other things in your online library. i consider myself a power user and a power gamer. i absolutely adore this device 32g and all. all media can go onto the sd. so its games and apps in your main. do you need your entire app collection when your using a fraction of them? ..but i do agree. it should be our choice. because if one spends the $$ on a very high end sd the performance is usable (not good).
Guys i think to move apps you need to open setting - apps - click the apps - select storage. In the storage section there is option to move it. But not all apps can moved. I use xperia XZs and updated to Oreo. But personally i haven't moved any apps due to XZs 64gb internal so i don't know what is moved to sd card. Just the apk like older system or the data is moved to. Its a little confusing for new phone because new phone detect /data and /sdcard as internal now. And the external sd card detected as /ext-sdcard from i what i know.
XZ1 Compact SD card internal storage
Bumping to see if one of our super devs has come up with a solution. Bought my XZ1C knowing about the 32Gb internal storage, and also knowing that since Marshmallow my Samsung used micro-SSD as internal storage. Now, a week into owning my new XZ1C I'm bumping up against the 32Gb limit, with a 128Gb micro-SSD cooling its heels empty. Unable to find the "move to SD card" option on a single app in Settings/Apps & notifications/App info/<App name>/Storage. Help!

Have you tried uninstalling all of your apps and reinstall after selecting "Force allow on external"? I had the same issue before but I tried to uninstall, "Force allow...", reinstall and it worked except for GMaps.
--Quote:"Have you tried uninstalling all of your apps and reinstall after selecting "Force allow on external"......."--
Can anyone confirm this for the xz1c?
(Before I go through the hassle of reinstalling everything in vain.)
AARRGH! So annoying!!

Does this work??
I just want to say... 32gb is not enough. Don't defend the fact that they have removed how easy it used to be to transfer apps to the SD card on previous xperia models. I just got a new XZ1 and now finding this thread and feeling so annoyed by the fact that they removed this feature. Why would they even remove it? It wasn't hurting anybody. Please Sony, update the firmware to allow this back.
The problem with the "put media on the microSD" approach is that apps like Google Photos would render thumbnails onto the internal storage, no matter where the actual photos are stored or transferred... so, on my previous Xperia, there are more than 4GB of thumbnails eating up my internal storage, every time I delete all the thumbnails, with no option to stop that. This design flaw of Android is just one minor example that can cause big hassle and big storage problems with manufacturers decisions to stop the quite useful feature of moving apps (or even app data and/or cache!) to the external storage causing big time headache for us, users..
Moreover, big apps always contain a lot of media files, which should go to the external storage if one would want to validate the approach.
I am really looking forward to finding a solution on XZ1C to move apps to the SD also on 8, like in 7.1.1.
Any ideas?
TIA
