[Q] By-default Application should install to SD card - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Hey Guys,
I recently purchased Samsung Galaxy Blaze(T-Mobile, USA). I am trying to install Aura Sygic on this phone.
Installation of the core application goes fine without any error, but when I am trying to download complete USA maps, it's throwing an error "Not enough size available". Basically it's trying to download all the map data(around 4 GB) over the phone memory instead of SD card.
By default this phone comes with 4GB SD card and I am planning to buy another 16 GB SDHC card, but I am not sure, if there is any way to install applications by-default on the SD card instead of phone internal memory.
Posting this thread on XDA, hoping that genius developers can help me here without rooting/voiding the warranty.

Any updates guys?

been wondering about this myself. I do not want to root this phone but I need my apps on sd card not phone only.

It's not perfect.

any help please (flytouch 3)

Hi guys just bought my first android tablet from ebay its a 10.2" TABLET PC,SUPERPAD 3 ,FLYTOUCH 3,ANDROID 2.3, 8GB. I have been having a few problems getting the sd card to load. I have tried 4 different sd cards and none of them work. When i insert the sd card it pops up reading sd card then nothing i go into the settings then to sdcard & device storage and all that shows up is internal device storage no sd card. I have tried to use apps2sd but that doesnt work either. I contacted the seller and he told this was normal and i would have to use a file manager to locate the sd card on the tab.
I am at a loss here as i have rooted my hero and my galaxy s2 and never had a problem using my sd cards or app2sd or anything like that. I am just wondering if this means the tablet could be a clone or a fake.
I would be grateful if someone could please give me some help or information on this
Thanks
Well, the first thing I would do is attempt to follow the seller's suggestion. Can you reach the SD card via a file manager? If so, perhaps it's worth reloading your OS (though I'm not sure how to do it on your tablet).
To address whether or not it is a knockoff, the general rule is:
If the price is too good to be true, it probably is.
Here is the firmware for the tablet
Model number : Android Tab10
Android Version: V2.3 2011-12-19 (001112)
Kernel Version: 2.6.329 [email protected] #289
Build Number: FRF85B
I had same problem FlyTouch2 but i tried low speed SD card. 4GB and 2GB and after 3-4 reformat those cards worked. I format those cards in device.
Class 6 card never worked.

Storage Space on Upgrades

Hi everyone
This may seem like a stupid question, but when new OS upgrades come out, do they replace the old one entirely or does it sit alongside the old OS? Additionally when apps update do they replace the old app files or does it mount on top of the already existing app? The reason I'm asking this is because my old HTC Wildfire S (which I had to root soon after using Link2SD to improve storage) had poor internal storage by default and the only for me to get an app to update was to uninstall it and install the latest update straight from the Play Store.
My current Motorola Moto G 4G only has an advertised 8GB internal storage and I can no longer update any more apps because it is full.
I've moved several apps already to my SD card (the ones I rarely use) leaving the apps I use daily on the internal storage for better performance.
Relating to SD cards, if I have apps installed on my SD card and I backup that SD card on NTFS external HDD for example, wipe my SD card and transfer the backup to the SD card, will the apps installed continue to work?
Many thanks
Will

So regarding your first question, when your internal storage is full, you can't update apps because android first download the complete apk file and then updates it. If you don't have space then it can't be updated which means to update a 30 MB app, you need more 30 MB free.
Then regarding your second question, yes, if your apps have data installed on your SD card, they will work when you backup and put the SD card back hence giving them the data back. But make sure its completely installed on your SD card.
Hope I helped.

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy Mega i9152 - Internal Storage Problem

Hi Guys,
I have a Samsung Mega Galaxy i9152. The phones internal storage shows me 399 mb remaining while my SD card has a free space of 14 GB. Is there a way, i can point all apps to download directly to the SD card. I can't clear my internal storage becasue it actually has nothing other than ROM & some few apps. I have tried Link2sd and moved apps to the SD card but not all apps get moved and only 40% of the file gets moved to the SD card. This really is bothering as anytime i need to install something, i need to uninstall something.
Any tips for me?
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist Well except Apps2SD there is no other way you can push to external SD and messing with partitions wont be good idea and can Hard brick phone hence you have to adjust with it
Good Luck!

Galaxy amp2 6.0.1 ext sd card issue

Hi xda, thanks for being here for us wee users: WE KNOW YE ARE GODS:good::
My question is do i have to root my new Amp2 6.0.1 Marshmallow, in order to utilize the Samsung External sd card i bought for it ? The reason I ask is that the Amp2 would not recognize a Sandisk 16gb ext.sd, b/c 'no second partition,' NOR will it allow use of the REQUIRED Samsung ext sd, for the same reason, 'no second partition.' Link2SD is what i purchased for my S3, & it cannot move my apps for lack of two primary partitions. &, APARTED does not work without root.:crying: HELP PLEASE, as i don't really WANT root, since 'flashify' destroyed my S3. Thanks for REPLY.
Hi, I am no expert on this and I dont have an amp2 but I do have a samsung on5 from metropcs/tmobile which I believe to be equivalent maybe even the same just rebranded.
On the on5 you must format the ext sd card as internal storage not portable/media. This might have to be done on a pc. Then you must mount
the ext sd card as internal storage and make it adoptable. Samsung blocked this feature on their phones. This allows the phone's os to use the ext sd card for apps etc. I used an app called root essentials to do these steps. Here is an article that describes the issue further. What seems to work is further down where the author of root essentials describes the unrooted process which requires the use of adb. http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...sd-card-as-internal-storage-using-marshmallow
If u get it working , u will have to regularly clean cache and move apps and updates to sd. I use the app2sd tool in a package called android assistant to do the moves.
Your results may vary.
Finally, how much free internal storage do u have now on your amp2? I would like to compare to my on5.
Good luck!

How to move apps to SD Card

Hello, I just got a new A20 and I downloaded all the apps that I had on my previous phone to my new one. However for some reason, even though the phone does detect my SD Card (I can access the files there without problem) it doesn't let me move apps to the SD card. I always do this with every app I can to liberate space so I'd like to do it on my new phone too. Does anyone know if you have to activate it somewhere?
I guess you could try the " Force allow apps on external " in developer options.
You can install App2sd and link app data to sd card
Bouth answers are true ringers theres nothing technical to it i suggest a top grade sd card
Now i see what you ment its imposible dor some reason or other well not imposible but highly complicated to move apps and obb data to sd card
