Hi guys,
I have android kitkat, which is OS with has disabled function of moving app data (obb files) to external SD card. My device is Huawei Ascend G620S-L01 (same as Honor 4 Play). I have root. I am browsing this and other forums for 2 days. Clean master says that my device does not allow to move apps to SD. Other app says that there is no need to move apps, because sd card is shared (wtf?). Then I tried mounting (Foldermount) and many other mount programs, but they do not function (app misses its data and tries to download them again). I tried to reboot, I checked if the files are really mounted etc. I tried also SD unlockers. I must be doing something wrong or what. Please help me. Thank you

link2sd
Link2sd works fine, but does only what stock tools do - transfer the small part of the app, not the obb. There are some more tools at the bottom, but they need two separate partitions on my SD. I will try to create them.
EDIT: Link2sd is not supposed to move obb files, and that is actually what I need.
EDIT2: My phone has also emulated SD card, may this somehow influence the problem?
EDIT3: I really think it has something to do with the emulated SD card, because I tried another app - root all data2sd, which creates its own partition, and should create it on SD card. In my mobile, it creates partition on emulated SD.
stupid me
Okay guys, I am feeling so stupid, 3 days of trying and everything, HUAWEI HAS AN OPTION FOR IT I just had to switch SD card as main memory, and *it works*, I moved all data to sd card and it works. No root was needed. No app needed. You can close this thread.

I have a tablet (Made by a company called MyAudio, they are only in our country so i wouldn't be suprised if you guys didn't heard about them). It has an 504MB internal memory (for OS and stock apps) and an 5,75GB INTERNAL SD Card. The problem is that it installs the downloaded apps to the internal memory and not the card, so it can't be really used. Also 504 GB storing the OS and ALL apps is clearly not enough for anyone. I only have like 100 megabytes for installing apps. The tablet is running Ice Cream Sandwich, so the apps can be moved to the Int. sd card, but not all of them, and also I can't even install apps that are too big, because it installs them on the int. memory first, and THEN sometimes they can be moved to the SD card. So is there any solution to this?
Hi,
You may possibly need to Root the device, if there's a way, and use something like "Link2SD" app to install on external sd.
I need your exact model number to see if info on this already exists on XDA. Though very likely you'll need to ask for help here,

Hey all,
Does the Z3 support installing every app fully to the SD card? I ask because 16gb seems a bit limiting if you can't fully use the SD card.
I just came here to ask the same question. In Kitkat 4.4.4 (and maybe other versions?) the 'Move to SD' is disabled/not there and it is up to the phone manufacturer to enable/add it. There is no option in settings on the Z3 to move app data to your SD card. It is very easy to enable apps to be able to use the SD card, either manually or using an app such as SDFix (but you will need to be rooted).
Here are some questions I would like answered if anyone knows:
There are folders on the SD card for most apps in /Android/data/ for example, 'com.microsoft.skydrive'. That same folder is also in the same place (/Android/data/) on the phones memory and contains data for the app. Can that just be moved with a file explorer to the SD card? If so are there any other steps to take?
Is there an app to automate moving data or a way to add the button in settings, apps?
Cheers
Wait till 5 ! It's was disabled is kk
You can use FolderMount to transfer game data to external storage (sdcard)
I use it and it is really essential to me

Hello, I have a Jiayu G4S phone (1GB RAM/4GB ROM version). It has android 4.2.2 and by default it uses only external SD micro card for saving files (photos, music, ebboks, downloads from internet,...). Internal memory is used for installing apps, but that can be changed to external memory. I used to have SD micro card inserted and everthing worked ok. But then my SD card reader stopped recognizing SD card. I sent phone back for repair, but they did not repair it (although they say they did). I tried different cards in phone, but they don't work. Some are not recognized at all, some are recognized with message, that SD card is corrupted and I should try formatting. When I try formatting, nothing happens. I tried MTK Eingineer Mode - SD card test...but it says there is no card in phone. Is there anything else I could do to fix that myself?
Because if I send it back again I will have to be without phone for another month or two and I can't do that...
I was also thinking - is there a possibility I could make my phone save files to internal memory instead of external SD card?

Hi!
I recently used application Mounts2sd on my samsung galaxy XCover2 (s7710) to move the apps from internal storage to sd (i am running Cyanogenmod 10.1). I moved my applications and media files to sd card, but I left the cache and system apps on internal storage. After that my applications started lagging (UC Browser is lagging all the time for example), so I would like to move the apps back from sd card to internal storage. Is this possible without previous backup? Or do I have to factory reset the phone? I didn't find anything on that subject on google.... Thank you in advance!

I bought a new phone Tesla Smartphone 6.1 (is the same as Ulefone Paris) and i just dont see "Move to SD card" option in Settings>Apps. Even in Storage i set my default write disk to SD card, but even when i install a new app it goes to internal memory. Is there a way i can move apps (such as 9gag, Ashpalt 8, etc..) to sd card? Without beeing rooted. And by the way is using Android 5.1. Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
I believe that moving apps to the microsd card is a root feature that you can use from xposed modules or from apps on the play store. So you must root your phone in order to move apps to the sd card.
