I don't use these types of apps but, you should be able to obtain some member guidance within the following Link2SD thread.

[Completed] "Move to SD card" missing?

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.

[Completed] external SD card showing as sdcard0 and acting as internal memory what to do?

Hello guys! I recently bought a gionee P5W,the phone is really good looking and a fast tasker. However I am facing a problem the external sd card(16gb) is being shown as sdcard0 however it should be sdcard1 also all the system files from camera images,Bluetooth files to apps downloaded from third-party appstore everything is being stored in this external sd card also there are certain apps which are caches & data in both internal & external storage at this rate my external sd card run out of space I use that card in multiple devices so I can't afford that also in case I remove it some stop working. When I checked in settings and the phone's bundled file explorer there the external sd card was shown as external storage but can't find any way to correct this. Also this all started after I removed external sd while the phone was running, and when I put it back error was shown "sd card damaged
Please format to use" but I continued without formating I think this info will useful to ones who may try to solve problem . I will tell about my phone, its a gionee P5W with 1gb ram, 1.3ghz quad-core arm 7, and android lollipop

weird problem with sd card

Hi
I recently bought a 32 gb class 10 SanDisk ultra SD card SDHC-1. Then I partitioned it using Minitool partition wizard, so that I could use it in Link2sd and free up some space
After a month or two my phone suddenly restarted and I'm guessing because of that Link2sd couldn't recognize the second partition. Then using the SD card adapter I tried to delete the partition or format or whatever you could do in Minitool partition wizard and easeus, the process would go on Aaaaaand wala NOTHING HAPPENS! The files remain as it is not even corrupted, my phone still recognizes the card but not Link2sd nothing is being erased from the card.
And now EaseUS shows that one of the partitions is of some OTHER file system and when I format it, a window pops up saying:
''there are some error occurred while writing partition chains on disk''
I really wanna fix this cuz the card was pretty expensive and I don't wanna buy a new one, I mean it was CLASS 10!!
PLZ HELP

Thanks for the reply, but you see my problem is not Link2sd or how to use which is what you gave the links for. So I'm sorry to say this but those links didn't help. What I want is how to FIX my SD card, not how to use Link2sd but thanks anyways for replying
So nobody has replied for about a week now Does that mean that I cant fix it?

Huawei GR3 2017 (can't transfer apps to sd card)

HUAWEI GR3 2017 (PRA-LX2)
Android 7.0
EMUI 5.0
Internal Memory: 16GB
So at first I don't have any problem with my phone but as time goes by here comes its weakness, its internal memory running low. Every time I need an app to be downloaded I need to uninstall app/s in exchange of the new one. In my case I don't want that kind of process, in short I want many apps on my phone. So I bought an sd card (128GB CLASS 10) because I saw a solution here in XDA. A solution of partitioning the sd card using its half memory to be an internal of my phone to increase it to have more apps but unfortunately it didn't work I don't know why. I didn't want to root my phone because of some issues of bricking it. This partitioning don't required rooting. I gave up and tried to root my phone because I saw some video on youtube using apps like "App2SD". Again, rooting doesn't work on my phone so I can't use that app. One more thing in the settings of my phone, when I go to apps then storage, I can't find the option of moving the app/s on sd card. Sorry one more thing is my phone can't reformat the sd card as an internal memory. Please help me, give me all your knowledge about this. I hate running low on memory. Thanks in advance!
NOTE: I tried rooting using Kingroot and Kingoroot (Android not PC version) only. I haven't tried the PC versions.

Help Please. Kyocera DuraForce E6810

Hi, I am a very accomplished PC super-geek user who can troubleshoot/fix just about any computer problem, and I'm looking for the equivalent person in regards to the Android phone.
I just bought a (brand new) DuraForce E6810 and put a new 32GB SD card in. When I put the card in, I elected for it to be used as internal memory in order to install/run apps from it. The SD card shows up in Settings > Storage, but it does not show up in ANY of the file manager apps I'm trying to use to manipulate/move files. I figured the "internal" storage might show up as 64GB in the file manager apps (32 internal + 32 SD configured as internal), but that is not the case. The file manager apps only show the 32GB internal memory that came with the phone. Anyone have any advice? I am planning to root the phone in order to (hopefully) take advantage of the HotSpot feature as well as the FM radio chip. Any advice on these topics would be greatly appreciated, also.
Thanks!

SD card formatted as Internal vs. Portable problems

Thanks for moving this to the Kyocera DuraForce superthread. My device is Kyocera DuraForce Pro E6810 (Verizon). I have a 32GB MicroSD card, to go along with the phone's 32GB Internal memory.
After formatting the SD card as INTERNAL memory, I connected the phone to my computer via USB and selected USB File Transfer (MTP). On my computer, it ONLY shows the SD card with 28.6GB free out of 29.2GB Total memory, and the phone's ACTUAL internal memory is not listed at all.
After reformatting the SD card as PORTABLE storage and connecting the phone to my computer, it lists the SD card with 29.7GB free of 29.7GB Total, and the Internal memory with 15.0GB free of 21.0GB.
Both the SD card and the Internal memory of the phone are 32GB total space, which should be 64GB combined. Can someone please tell me why after formatting the SD card as INTERNAL storage, I only see 29.2GB TOTAL memory on the phone, and there is NO Internal memory listed at all when connected to my computer?
So I think I have this figured out, someone please verify this for me:
Formatting the SD card as INTERNAL storage REPLACES the phone's original internal storage and DOES NOT ADD TO IT! Is this essentially correct?
im a bit late on the response sorry
but respectively, yes you are pretty much correct. although it doesnt run off of the internal FS via the sd card, that would be silly, i believe it creates a duplicate partition of the part of the internal FS that allows a specific type of apps data to be run the can normally not run externally. such as meta data and binary files which contain the "actual" code for the app and not just a users cached data. To be honest i could be wrong idk, but that is my idea of what happens in your case. ita definitely happened to ne before.
