I just have noticed that after update to android 10 I have all my app on internal memory and can not move them to the external SD card like before in Android 9. Is there any way to save apps on external SD card?
I am wondering the same thing
You just want to save a copy of the app?
The SD card data bus is slower than the internal memory one. You don't want the OS to need to access the SD card constantly when running an app.
Q is already hamstrung by its scoped storage as it is...

I have HTC sensation 4G. I bought a 16 GB SD micro card and also have an 8GB card. Both my cards are full with videos which I need to access often for my exam purposes. But each time I change the cards, the applications don’t run properly and I have to re install the apps. Also I doubt that frequently changing the SD card would age my phone quicker. Does anyone here have any experience with this? What is the best way to keep swapping sd cards frequently without any hassles?
Are your apps located on the SD Card when you go into Settings > Applications > Apps on SD Card?
If so, move them to internal memory.
switching sd cards very often
Like everyone knows HTC Sensation has a very low internal memory which will not be enough to move all apps to internal memory. Moreover I swap sd cards at least twice a day and I don't want to move apps each time. So is there any way I can just swap SD cads without moving apps to internal memory.

You must have big apps or a lot of apps! I have around 78 and around 50% remaining. 1GB isn't a lot but it's not 'very low' either IMO.

Well without magic, no. You have two options. Apps go to the internal memory, or the SD card. If you can't put them on internal and you take out the SD, then they won't be there.
Possible Solution 1: Remove some apps? I use like 12 third party apps total.
Possible Solution 2: Download a converter such as Mobile Media Converter or SUPER and re-encode the videos at a lower quality - allowing for less storage to be used.
Possible Solution 3: Deal with it.
Move the app data to both of your SD cards.
Get a 32GB card? lol
I used to use an 8GB card, then I bought a 16GB one. I just copy all the data from the old card to the new one, insert it in my phone and all the apps works.
Many people want to move their apps to SD because of the space issue.
I am a minimal app user
What I concerned is performance or speed.
Will the performance increases if I move an app to the internal SD card?
Some say that the phone will run faster because less phone space is used.
Another question is the internal SD card really an SD card?

No... I don't think there will be any change... Just saves a little space...
And internal sd card is not an sd card like external sd card i.e. memory card... It is like a memory card placed on phones motherboard... Maybe It includes system partition and other partitions... You can't remove it or change it yourself...

Hi,
I'm running an Alcatel One Touch Mini with Jellybean. I have over 1gb of internal storage space not in use and have the option checked for apps to save to the internal storage, however, apps such as whatsapp still seem to save data on my SD card.
Why is this, and how do I rectify it? I prefer the space on my SD card to be saved for music.
Thanks
I have always saved my Spotify offline music to SD card. Given the massive 128 GB the Ultra has, I put as much on the card as I can. Something changed recently and now my offline downloads get moved to internal storage from SD card.
Has anyone had this issue?
I have done the usual trouble shooting, uninstalling/reinstall. Log out/log in. When I reinstall the app, I can save to SD card then a couple days later it moves it back to internal storage.
Contacted Spotify, they have not been able to help. They don't seem to understand the SD card thing and say I cannot download to external sources.
is this only available for Spotify Premium accounts?
It is a premium feature. I figured it out. You have to move the Spotify app to SD card and then all the downloads will use SD card only. This has to be enabled in developer options to force app to SD card. Otherwise even if you select SD card within the app it will move to internal storage in a couple days.
Using an admittedly old app, DiskUsage, it shows internal storage as "Storage Card" and my SD Card as "/storage/24BA-#####" (Not giving the last 4 digits in case it's sensitive information). This isn't really a big issue in and of itself, it's just kinda weird...
But the actual issue is this:
When I transfer an app to my SD Card (Enabled the ability to do so in developer mode), it lets me do it - it lets me choose between Internal and SD Card. But when I choose SD Card, it "Transfers" it with a progress bar and then closes. When I open the app info again it now says it's on external storage.
But when I check DiskUsage again, or put my SD Card into my PC - that app is nowhere to be found. When I check internal storage (Which, again, for some reason is called "Storage Card") - it's still there.
How can I get apps to actually transfer to my SD Card? Apps like the camera or PocketCasts let me use the SD Card. I can read from it just fine (Music, pictures, videos, etc.), podcasts play from it properly, everything works on it just fine... But apps don't actually transfer to it even though Android claims they're on the SD Card.
This is something I need to be able to do - Spotify has a bug that's been around for years where it will automatically redownload all your songs to internal memory on reboot if they were on the sd card, and delete them off the SD Card. I've pretty much just given up and let it keep my music on internal storage - but that's taking up a lot of space.

No responses? Did you figure out how to do it? I need apps moved as well
