I've never tried moving apps back to the phone after I updated to the latest firmware version, but I tried it today to test out a few widget features. It was then that I noticed that I couldn't move the apps back to the SD card. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling the app and nothing works. This issue has appeared with all apps that I've previously been able to move back and forth from the phone to SD. For now, the "move to SD" button on the screen is greyed out... It doesn't bother me too much for now, but I'd like to be able to save space when I choose to again. Has anyone else had this problem?
Same here.... cannot move certain APPS to the SD card after the update, and I am 100% sure they were on the SD card when I had 2.3.3
It doesn't bother me that much for now, but it will when I start running out of space
For me too...any solution?

Many of my apps are missing after restarting.. i have checked for errors in my sd card, got errors and corrected but still apps were missing.. also my music app cannot find any music in my storage.. i noticed that apps that were missing are those on the sd card. Someone experienced this? I want to know a fix for this without restoring. Please help. Thanks

check the sd card if the data is there and accessible .
if yes
1) try powering off n on instead of rebooting.
2) try unmount and remount.
3) try reinserting the sd card..
My step me that to install a cooked rom, my only solution was to return to the basic rom and install a more recent version

Recently, I reset my phone just to get it sped up and installed the apps I only ever use. But after that, the option to "Move to SD card" is missing under my app manager. It was there before the reset, I could move whatever I want. Now I'm running low on internal storage and I need to move things to my SD. The button isn't greyed out, it's completely gone...!
No, I don't want it rooted. It shouldn't have to be. I even installed App2SD, it shows me all the apps I can move, but when I click them, the button is missing.

Hi fellows, sorry to bother you i always try to manage to solve all problems on my own (researching) but there no info on the subject.
A bit of history: im the happy owner of an MT7-L09 since last month. I bought it with a Sandisk Ultra 32gb micro sd class10. I've been using the phone without any problems. Didnt even tried to root it.
What i actually did was to set up the SD card as a the default memory location. I dont actually really know what this does apart from saving all media in the SD (mainly google play music, photos and videos i shoot with the camera, some big obb files, etc).
Last week i downloaded oficial Lollipop 5.1.1 release and did a manual update. All good, i kept on using it without any problems (aside from considerably lower battery life) for a couple of days.
Then i decided to gain root access. I followed this steps after googling for help.
I gained root access but after this, it keeps looping between "sd card safe to remove" and "preparing sd card" as long as my sd card is in its slot.
After that i:
Got SD card out, used a PC to backup contents (no damages), gave it a quick format in windows fat32, then format in android. PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE
Then i went back to the pc and gave the card a slow full fat32 format, then format again in andoird. PROBLEM STILL HERE
I also recently bought an action cam with the same SD model. Got that one out and placed it straight into the phone replacing the other. SAME TYPE of SD HERE, SAME MODEL. PROBLEM PERSISTS.
I think it might be related to flashing a recovery or something like that while i had my sd card as default memory location. I really dont know what to do to ger it read any of my SD cards again.
Shall i flash original kit kat firmware again? maybe 5.1.1 again and loose root access? I couldnt find any information regarding this issue rather than try another SD card which i already did (the problem surfaced after the process of gaining root access).
Any clues?

I just started having this problem today. I have been on the official 5.1.1 since it launched and never came across any issue until this morning. I never ever rooted or flashed anything custom and the boot loader is still locked.
As of today I started having this issue, looping between "SD card safe to remove" and "Preparing SD card" however I am able to access the SD Card and intervals. The SD Card works perfectly fine on any other device.
One thing I changed recently (2 days ago) is the default memory location, I set it to SD Card, so I am going to revert that setting back to Internal Memory and see if it fixes the issue. Thanks for the tip
If anyone else has come across this issue and/or knows how to fix it please help
UPDATE: I tried reverting the default location setting back to "Internal storage" and found that the setting had already reverted back automatically, presumably because the SD Card is not always available So no luck with that. I am starting to suspect it's a hardware issue!
UPDATE 2: I left the SD Card in the device and connected it to the PC in order to take a backup using HiSuite. As soon as I plugged it in the error stopped cropping up. I finished the backup, unplugged the USB and so far the "SD card safe to remove" and "Preparing SD card" did not show up again. It's been over an hour now. Yesterday I plugged in the device to my PC in order to copy some pictures so something may have happened at that point I'm suspecting.

It's been over 12 hours now so I'm guessing all it needed was to connect it to the pc again [emoji2]

Now that you mention Hi Suite, i played arround a bit with it before the error appeared. im gonna give it a shot
I've done that the root and installed the recovery and microSD goes into loop does not know what to do help ..
Mine is still steady after a few days, hope you fix yours too [emoji6]

Solved. It must be some issue caused by HiSuite. I connected, made full backup, safely extracted SD from computer and problem seems to have ceased.
Thanks

I got this problem today after reflashing stock recovery.
It disappears after remove and reinsert sd card, but after a reboot problem was still there.
Now I solved checking debug usb setting, because after recovery flash it has been disabled itself.
I have this problem but with the USB storage device, I bought a new one which has two plugs, one is usb the other is micro, to transfer from laptop to phone without cables. It works on PC, it works on my husband's Huawei Mate 7, but just loops on mine. Other USB storage work fine on my phone with cable, but this new one just loops "preparing to connect" and " USB removed", even when trying to connect with cable.
All software is up to date, no modifications have been made.
Any simple ideas would be appreciated (I'm not into flashing/rooting etc!)
I have Alcatel 5054D with a nonrooted Lollipop (5.1.1) on board. I tried to move some apps to SDcard by pressing "Move to SDcard". Some of these apps moved successfully and some stuck in "Moving" state. I tried to reinstall these stuck apps, but they still show "Moving" instead of "Move to SDcard/telephone". Clearing cache and rebooting the phone doesn't help either. I do not understand if they still in the phone memory or on the card. Any suggestions?
Not all apps are movable to the SD card. They're most likely on the internal. If you root you can get LINK2SD app and it will move everything you wish

I know that not all the apps are movable to the SD card. I could not have been able to see "Move to SD card" in this case. But the apps that stuck in moving to SDcard are movable, e.g. Skype.
Link2SD doesn't work on non rooted devices.
I am having the same problem. I have tried rebooting the phone, uninstalling and reinstalling app, clearing the cache. None of this works. Still says moving. Any ideas?
Same phone, same problem, no custom rom to root with, no support for model on Alcatel website. Can't even update existing apps because phone too full, need to finish moving these apps ... nobody knows how? Searched for an hour already
Hi,
My internal storage is full, I can't install new apps or update the current apps to newer version.
To get around this issue, I got a new sd card, with 32 GB. The sd card seems to be working well.
Anyway, all apps have the option "move to sd card" - DISABLED! Gee thanks for nothing, Android. :good:
I remember on older Android versions, it was possible to move apps and data to sd card. Now it isn't. From my research I know it's an Android feature now, but then why have the UI button "move to sd card" there? It's part of the Android OS. Makes no sense.
The only app that has this button enabled for me, is Facebook Messenger. I try clicking on it, but after a while it gives an error.
Today, I rooted my phone, thinking it would solve the problem and I could finally install big apps to the sd card, and move app data there as well. :fingers-crossed: No such luck. After rooting, still having the same issue. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. :highfive:
