Hi,
My internal storage is full, I can't install new apps or update the current apps to newer version.
To get around this issue, I got a new sd card, with 32 GB. The sd card seems to be working well.
Anyway, all apps have the option "move to sd card" - DISABLED! Gee thanks for nothing, Android. :good:
I remember on older Android versions, it was possible to move apps and data to sd card. Now it isn't. From my research I know it's an Android feature now, but then why have the UI button "move to sd card" there? It's part of the Android OS. Makes no sense.
The only app that has this button enabled for me, is Facebook Messenger. I try clicking on it, but after a while it gives an error.
Today, I rooted my phone, thinking it would solve the problem and I could finally install big apps to the sd card, and move app data there as well. :fingers-crossed: No such luck. After rooting, still having the same issue. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. :highfive:
My phone is an Alcatel One Touch Idol.

I've never tried moving apps back to the phone after I updated to the latest firmware version, but I tried it today to test out a few widget features. It was then that I noticed that I couldn't move the apps back to the SD card. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling the app and nothing works. This issue has appeared with all apps that I've previously been able to move back and forth from the phone to SD. For now, the "move to SD" button on the screen is greyed out... It doesn't bother me too much for now, but I'd like to be able to save space when I choose to again. Has anyone else had this problem?
Same here.... cannot move certain APPS to the SD card after the update, and I am 100% sure they were on the SD card when I had 2.3.3
It doesn't bother me that much for now, but it will when I start running out of space
For me too...any solution?
Hi all
I would like to intsall all apps to my SD Card, because the internal memory of this phone isn't so much. I would like to use my SD Card for default install location. Is there any way to do it?
please refer to this post, everything you need for chacha
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255107
ps: unless we have a CM7 rom for chacha, or we have to move the apps to SD card after installation
The suggested Low memory actions there are not looking good to me. Factory data reset will clear all my accounts and setup and one day i'll get the message again.
I want to solve the problem, not to find an alternate solution
So basically I still would like to install all my apps on my SD Storage.
ps
Thanks for the thread.
Came here because I can't move any apps to my SD card after installing cm12, and not because of storage space (see attachments). Brand new 32gb Samsung EVO microSD card. I cannot pinpoint what's causing the issue. I tried reformatting the SD card, and it still did not work. Link2SD didn't work either and all of the other bogus 'SD card fixers' on google play didn't either. I tested the SD card on my friends phone and it worked flawlessly. Help?

This is a known bug, I have looked around a little and cannot find a fix. Will try to dive in more as time allows.
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app
no further progress on this. I am having the same issue on 2 different s5's. Phones camera can see sd card. rooted and flashed rom from sd card . i am getting the same error. Help or a point to a fix would be appreciated.
I have Alcatel 5054D with a nonrooted Lollipop (5.1.1) on board. I tried to move some apps to SDcard by pressing "Move to SDcard". Some of these apps moved successfully and some stuck in "Moving" state. I tried to reinstall these stuck apps, but they still show "Moving" instead of "Move to SDcard/telephone". Clearing cache and rebooting the phone doesn't help either. I do not understand if they still in the phone memory or on the card. Any suggestions?
Not all apps are movable to the SD card. They're most likely on the internal. If you root you can get LINK2SD app and it will move everything you wish

I know that not all the apps are movable to the SD card. I could not have been able to see "Move to SD card" in this case. But the apps that stuck in moving to SDcard are movable, e.g. Skype.
Link2SD doesn't work on non rooted devices.
I am having the same problem. I have tried rebooting the phone, uninstalling and reinstalling app, clearing the cache. None of this works. Still says moving. Any ideas?
Same phone, same problem, no custom rom to root with, no support for model on Alcatel website. Can't even update existing apps because phone too full, need to finish moving these apps ... nobody knows how? Searched for an hour already
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
