I dont really understand ur meaning
What apps do u use to move the apps to the external SD card? Does the device still recognize the apps?
Try to flash ur device, or ask again in other part of this forum based on ur device

Thank you
/sdcard
Or you could to mnt/sdcard
The Nexus S doesn't have a removable SD card
Edit: wasn't sure if you're talking about the SD card folder or the actual SD card.

then why do they call it sd card and not internal card? i do realize they dont have a removable sd card but they should just callit i-storage for internal storage.... i say we at xda should come up with a mod to allow an sd card to be installed onto the nexus s series.... and also we should mod it to allow lte as well....

Since we are at it, let's add some wheels and a rocket engine and drive it around.
And it's called SD card cause physically it's an SD card, just not removable.
I was reading the forum on how to roll back to Gingerbread from ICS 4.0.4, and everyone is talk about SD card. got confused because when you say SD CARD usually it means the removable one.
Just recently updated to ICS 4.0.4 on my Google Nexus S, cant find the files folder on my phone and also dont know how can i install and app from my computer and then onto the phone, because lot ppl have posted links for good apps. I've saved them on my computer but how do i get them onto my phone.
Thanks for the previous replies!!

Yeah our Nexus S don't have removable storage (sadface) lol. To install the apks(apps) you have on your computer just connect your phone to the computer, copy your apps from your computer to ANY folder you see in the phone(your phone should be connected to the com.). Now download any file manager from the play store and go to the folder you placed the apk in and click on that apk. It should ask you if you want to install an app now. That's it I think
Again I'm not sure if that's what you're asking for but I think that's what you meant right?

Try ZDbox to move your apps to sd card
I personally use App2SD but I think for custom ROMs, ZDbox is more reliable

Does your phone detect your sd card?
If yes you can use force2sd.

I have the same problem like you, then I backup all my data in sdcard saved in computer and use minitool partition to format ext2 and main partition. Now copy data to sd card (main partition) again. Next step you use your recovery tool as CWM (your device have been rooted) to restore. I have fixed that problem.

I try Link2sd. It's work well, but the problem with this program that first time download the program the internal memory and after move to sd card. It isn't problem if the program is small, but the program is bigger the device don't allow download the program.
So i interested in an idea that the phone see the sd card like internal card.

Hi,
your question is very specific to certain level of development. I suggest that you have a look thru the Android general sections for information.
Thanks

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

Unfortunately, this is not possible on Huawei Y5 2019, if i manage to root it then with, for example Link2SD application i can transfer them.. Like this, i cannot do anything, but i said that if maybe anyone knows a way without root too

Maybe because your phone doesn't have a sd card u need a sd card for the phone
Not all phones have a sd card
If you're phone doesn't support for a sd card than it's just not possible

Well most apps really can't be moved to external SD-card. Only a few can.
BTW:
The mentioned Link2SD app - as it name implies - simply creates in Android OS's file tree links ( read: shortcut in Windows OS terminology ) to apps / their data what are located on external SD-card. This only will work if the external SD-card has two partitions (at least): one partition works as a regular external storage on SD-card, for pictures, music, etc.pp, the second partition ( must be ext4 formatted ) would work as the "extended real memory" or, the virtual memory, where "externally installed apps" are housed.
Since Android 6 this technique is part of Android OS: it's called Adoptable Storage.
