How do I install Apps off the SD card, Microsoft say go to store and select SD card…? No SD card to be seen. The App is on the root of the SD card?
After copy xap file to SD card, you have to restart the phone and wait few second (may be 1 or 2 minutes). Next you run to the market store and tap SD card, when opened you can install copied app from the list.

Damn, why doesn't it say that in the manual. Cheers for the info.
Can I install data sense this way?

No, data sense is included to Amber ROM and does not appear as a xap file.

Lately I've been having problems with installing apk files from my sd card. I connect my HTC Desire Z to the pc, copy the apk file to my sd card, disconnect my phone properly from the pc, go into my sd card using es file explorer, locate the apk file i just copied, try to install it but it says Parse error: There is a problem parsing the package.
what the hell do i do??
Sounds like your microSD card is about to go out. Copy the contents to your pc, then do a full reformat of the card and put the stuff back. That might help temporarily but if it really is about to die you'll need a new one at some point obviously.
I did a full reformat of my sd card last night, put everything back in to the card an then today it just effed up again
Have you tried the Easy Installer ap from the Market? It's free. It helps when you install apk from SD card. There is also a possibility that the apk you downloaded was corrupted. Try downloading it from a different site.
Hope this help.
i tried that, at first i put in 1 app and opened it using the app u insisted, but then when i put in other apps, nothing worked as in they werent even there listed
I broke my old inspire and AT&T sent me a new one.
How do i move all my .apk apps from my SD card to the phone.
Some of them i cant just re-download them.
I thought i could just take all the .apk files put them in download folder on sd card but none of them show up when i click on download from the phone.

Is your phone rooted? Have you applied the "sideloading update" from ATT to allow "unknown sources"?
One of these two things has to happen before you can get apps installed on your phone from places other than the market, i.e., your SD card.
I transferred the SD card from my phone to the Shield and I have a couple of installers/APKs in there that I wanted to install. So I downloaded ES File Explorer, navigated to Storage/sdcard1/path/to/apks and when trying to install, I get a parsing error message. I can only install the apk if I copy it to internal storage. How do I get it to install from the sd card?

I've no clue why you weren't able to do it.
But i was able to do it without any hassle.
I've few APk's for Benchmarks, MXPlayer(Free version) & some test applications which i keep swapping using my SD Card.
I was able to browse them through ES File explorer & Install flawlessly.
Are you doing this for the Games ?
Most games(off late), need the respective libraries to be present. example: /media/obb

Same here, after/right before the latest update.
I'll probably try reformatting the sd card again. Mine went straight from my s3 to the Shield but really don't think that would have mattered since its still just a fat32 formatted sd card so its kind of weird for it to act like that inside the Shield.

Well i have the same problem i cant install apks using my external storage(microsd 64 gb) any solutions to this problem?
To clarify i clicked origin resource in the developers mode,even enable it i cant install apks from my nvidia shield
Parsing error fix!
2 solutions
1.) first make sure you format the SDcard with the device.
2.) if that doesnt work or can't simply use your pc or file explorer to copy the apk to devices internal memory this resolved my issues with Nvidia shield and Samsung note 2
I went to Wal-Mart and picked up a 64GB SD card. I just purchased the tablet yesterday and rooted it using towelroot but that's all I've done. I put the SD card in and it's recognized and showing the correct available space. I'm able to create a file using ESFile explorer but I can't do anything with it. I tried a couple torrent clients to download files to the SD card and it keeps saying unable to write to folder or that it's write protected. When in file explorer I can create a file and under properties it does show it's able to be written to. I also have downloaded and tried the kitkat SD card fix app. I've gotten pretty frustrated with it so just did a complete factory reset and going to start from scratch. I was able to move apps to SD card using an app but that's all I could do. I'd really like to put any/all downloaded apps and files on the SD card since I only have a 16GB version.
Any ideas what I can do?

Well just an update after doing a factory reset everything seems to work now, of course i get to download everything again. I think it might have had something to do with the OTA update. After doing the factory reset it kept the update. Now I can freely move to and from the SD card so all is good.
FYI, since you are rooted I would suggest installing the Xposed Framework and then install the "HandleExternalStorage" module, the KitKat update cripples external SD card access so file managers, emulators, and the like can no longer write to the SD card. Installing this module re-enables external SD card read/write access for all applications, it is not the device. There is also an app on the Play Store call 'SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD' which accomplishes the same thing, however the Xposed module is much safer as it can be enabled and disabled at will. Simply install the module, enable it, and that's it.
Hi all,
On my 4.4.2 Samsung SM-G355h, and since few monthes, i could no more move any of my apps to the external SD card.
These are symptoms:
One folder on the SD card, called Android, can not be deleted, no matter what's the way i try to do it (directrly from the phone, from computer through USB, putting the SD card on other phone ... )
Some time, I could not delete nor move any file on the SD card. I have to restart the phone, and to do it on the first few seconds of the system start up.
On the apps list, and when i look into the apps proprieties, the system could not get the size of the apps. It remains "loading"
When i try to move an application to SD card, the system remains hours with the indication: "moving to SD Card" and nothing happens.
I have tried to reset my phone and then download and reinstall all apps. Same problem.
So, can any one tell me how to fix this problem ?
Thanks

First it could be update related/flash related.
Some versions of stock firmwares contains weird "bootloader" stuffs that prevents rw access to sdcard even if u install the sdCardFix for KK. Sometime it works sometimes not.
And the second is you have to have SdCard KitKatWorkground enabled.
Check : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/help/copy-to-ssd-samsung-galaxy-core-2-sm-t3033178.
The /Android folder on extSdCard contains /data and /obb files that have been moves/installed to sdCard, if u delete the folder, U won't be able to run the app from your phone !
