moving the data files from sd card to external sd wont work because apps are bound to vold file and it specifies which one is default storage location.
without root there is no solution for this
i dont understand y u r worried about rooting? its totally safe to root ur phone and by flashing the stock rom again u can claim warranty also if ur phone gets some problem.
if u r ready to root ur phone there is 2 ways to do this.
1. use the modded vold file which forces OS to use external storage as sd card and all the apps/game data files will be stored on ur external sd.
2. use GL TO SD app which just moves specified game data to external storage and forces those specified apps to use external storage as sd card.

is there any disadvantage (such as overall a bit slow response etc.) if we swap internal and external storage ?? I mean that's why it is not a default option given by Sammy/android ??

Android OS doesnt freq access the internal drive. Only user apps or games access it freq. If you have class 6 or above microsd it is as good as accessing(read/write) the internal drive.
I use class 10 card and the guarateed min read/write speed is 10 MBPS :beer:

Hi all
There seems to a problem in my SGR.. It says SD Card(Internal 3.74 GB) is blank and asks me to format it..

Tried rebooting, removing battery ..
Havent tried connecting it to PC.. Cause my PC is another nightmare.. Anything else i can do??
what u have did which made ur storage empty?
I had a similar problem, One application stopped working a part of that application was for the safe removal of sd card, and then for the sd card and internal memory is showing 0, I entered into the application and turn off safe removing of a memory card and everything was ok

Insert the card in a card reader and attach it to a PC.
- Does the PC recognize the memory card?
- Can you copy a file to your external sd card using a PC?
- Does the card work in any other device that you have?
SD card is full

I have an lg p500 with an 8gb memory card an I've been reading a lot about sd-ext.
So what are its advantages and disadvantages????? What's the risk behind it(using vivekkalady's cwm touch 5.0.2.7)???? What's the swap size??? What do you suggest for me to set swap size and sd-ext size???????
Thx in advance!
Make sure ur card is class 4 or higher else it will actually slow things down.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Yes it is but what are risks behind it and what's swap size??
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
Sd-ext partition is used to store apps and data by android(512 mb is enough for class 4 card)
swap partition is used to have virtual ram like thing(not needed for general avg users, if u want then 32mb is enough)
o1 has enough ram so won't need swap
---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------
ONLY sdext degrades SD card very slowly
SD ext + swap will degrade comparatively quicker
advantages more internal memory(SD ext) and more ram(swap)
Is it risky?? What happens when I remove SD card after partitioning it??

Partiton will not be read by anything other dan ur phone ... for ur sd card if u put a 1gb partition and 256mb swap ur pc will read it to be 6.5gb card ... and yes sd ext and swap degrades sd but in a long time

if u have moved apps to SD ext and then removed the card then tried to boot, ur phn won't start. so once u link apps to SD ext u have to keep SD card connected. only remove when phone is off or in recovery

I want to spare up more space through App 2 SD the information, photo, media and installed APP to external SD card only. Also, it cannot being usb mode as liked with SII before. How could I solve it? Anyway methods might share? Thank you very much.:laugh:

Format the sdcard in fat32. Maybe your sd is 64GB exFat that needs a special kernel support

Thank you for your reply. The volume of my SD card is 16GB in FAT32 format. Mentioned problems may include with the right of permission to beyond read only mode and setting of android system. Because the photo records is taken by internal machine that can be set to store in external SD card. This kinds of problem have already occurred in Samsung several series machine. Meanwhile, this is a complicated problem beyond my limited knowledge. Anyway, thank a lots:laugh:

Thank you for reply. I have rooted my machine already and trying this right now. But would like to know that except this method. Any method could save data (i.e. photos, installed app and media) to external SD card freely? Just like using of App 2 SD. And then, any method to get the right of permission to beyond read only mode and setting of android system? I would like to fix this problem completely and let it return to S II mode. Anyway thank you very much :laugh:
For the moment i don't think there is a way to move apps to SD. Only link 2 sd
Sent from my GT-I9105P Hypervitaminized
Well Folder Mount isn't free.
And Apps to SD didn't work for me. Neither did Link 2 Sd work until I created a partition on my SD card (later I removed the partition as I didn't want to spoil my new card and its performance).
You can install apps on internal and then later on move it freely to SD card. It would move all data folder.
I'm doing this and I have rooted phone with stock rom.

Well tap on the (+) button and you will have a window asking for
1. Folder name to be kept.
2. files to be moved.
3.where the files should be.
Select the following and press mount. It will start moving files and then mount.

You can move all your apps to your SD card when your phone is rooted but remember some apps will crash or don't work when placed in SD card.

I reply here because I spent a lot of time searching through very old posts and trying outdated methods. I didn't know that actually today there is a very easy solution to move whatsapp media folder to SD card. It perfectly worked on my Samsung Galaxy A3 A320FL:
1) Root (I used twrp + magisk method)
2) Download "App2SD" (the original by Vicky Bonick; it's free) and follow instructions on how to create partitions
3) Use "folder mount (app analyzer)" feature, which apparently was not considered in the old posts in this forum, so I suppose it was recently added to App2SD.
It's like folder mount, but it's pre-set for some common apps, including Whatsapp. With this feature, you can successfully move Whatsapp media folder to SD, in one clic.
In my case everything worked fine. When I reboot I have to re-mount folder, but it takes one second (just open Apps2SD, tap Folder Mount, slide "whatsapp other").
