Install extra application data onto external SD card? - General Questions and Answers

I'm trying to play this game on my Android phone (Samsung Exhibit II 4G) and the device has some built in memory. When I launch the game it says that I have to download extra data before I can play and I do. However I notice that it downloads into the internal memory rather than my 16 GB microSD. If I move the data onto the microSD and launch the game again, it asks me to download the data. Any way to get it to recognize that?

Thank me if I help or am gonna try and help!

same problem
i have samsung galaxy s2 i9100G. My internal 16 gb memory is full and i want to put sd files in external sd card. Is there any way to put the sd data coz when i cut the sd data from internal to external sd card, the game again asks for downloading sd files. thanks

I would just leave it where it is, otherwise it won't notice it.

music files would go to /system/media/audio (unless you just intend to listen to musing and not use them for ringtones), and why would you want to move game data if the games are looking in a specific spot (hint: the current location, or the hack location mentioned in another thread)

Apps2sd on our 10.1

Queations to all....
Should a App2sd app be able to work on our Notes???
The reason im asking is because I had issues getting my 64g card to mount (ended up having to flash a recent OTA update from Samfirmware.com). I then wanted to move some of my apps to the 64g card but App 2 SD from the market says -
"The device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary extremal storage is emulated. Moving app to SD may not be supported by this device. "
Is this normal? I have never come across this before on any Android device before! Or is it something to do with the 64g card? or the Notes file tree?

Yes it's normal. Samsung make some different approach here.
In my perspective when you used to choose "move to sdcard" in apps manager, the apps move from internal memory to internal storage (/sdcard).
(External microSD card is not on discussion so far, im only talking about tablet internal storage).
Now by default in Samsung devices all apps are going to /sdcard, so you dont have to move them beacuse the are alreday there.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The solution for me (I have white SGN 10.1 16GB) is use DirectoryBind, i can have 20+ GB of games in external microSD Card.

Think your correct, makes sense anyway!!!
Could you elaborate more on this directory Bind thing you mentioned? ??

DirectoryBind main feature is to link/bind folders with data that are in external micro sd card, to empty folders with the same name that must be in /sdcard/Android/data or /sdcard/Android/obb. So games and apps thinks they're using internal storage but in fact data is in external micro sd card. This way you save the 11 gb reserved for storage.

[Q] How to move big games to External SD

Guys how to move/install games on External SD card? Bought a 16GB card just for that, and now when I try to move it to SD card via applications, it actually moves to USB storage (again, a part of internal memory). The phone is confusing SD card for internal USB storage
I want to do this without rooting. Any suggestions? Phone: Samsung Galaxy R
PS: I've tried App2SD, again it also moves the app from phone to USB storage.
Without rooting.. I don't think it is possible

[Q] SD Card and Internal Memory Questions [SORRY]

Okay, so I am just tired of the confusion in my head here.
I'm not a noob with rooting or anything of the sort, but I am not used to a phone with an internal SD card and an external SD card.
I am downloading a ROM to flash to my Galaxy S3 and it saves to the SD card... does that mean that it is saving to the phones memory and not the actual SD card I put into it?
There is an SD Card and an external SD card.
Which one is which? Haha.
And if I am right, like I think I am... the external SD card is the actual SD card I put into it and the SD Card is the phones internal memory.
How can I download from the internet and have it save onto the external SD?
AND...
When backing up a ROM before flashing a new one, do you recommend that I back up to SD card or external SD card?
And do you recommend I flash a ROM from the SD card or from the external SD card?
It seems that IF my external SD card somehow decided to corrupt while I was running off of a ROM that was installed via external SD card, that it wouldn't be able to boot after it corrupted.
Am I correct on all of this?
Sorry. Your answers are more than appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I have mine setup to download the roms, pictures, media or backups to the external sd card. In cwm I save a backup to both internal and external for the extra security. I just use external for everything because I have a 32gb sd card that has everything. The internal memory is just used for system stuff.

Perfect. That's absolutely everything I needed to know. I guess no matter what you download from the browser, it will download to the internal memory... but you can manually move it to the external SD with Root Browser.
Thank you man.

Go into the advanced settings option on your Browser and it gives you the option to have things downloaded to memory card or internal. Just change that to memory card and it will do it for you.
