Apps to external sd - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I have a 32 GB micro SD card in my phone with nothing on it and I would like to move most of my big apps to it. How do I go about doing so?

You cannot install apps on an external SD card

That's what I figured I might as well sell this card

I would keep it. You can still keep all of your backup on the card and use it as storage so you internal sdcard will only be use for the apps

I'm having the same issue. I guest that's why I'm scared to put my new SD card in my phone. The SD card that I had before I was getting an error message saying that SD card is now damaged.

when you go to settings storage does it show up? if so its reading it.. if not you may need to format it through the device or on the computer. if it does show in settings storage look in files under mnt\extsdcard and thats where it is..
When I dl how do I direct it to sd card?!

it should be automatically downloaded straight to it... if not go to your browser settings and change it or whatever app you are using change it there...

i dont think you can...ive tried using 3rd party browsers as well...even ones that prompt you where to save the file..and browsing the sd card isn't an option..i just download it to my download folder then move it afterwards
however obviously i havent tried them all..ive used stock, chrome and opera

Hey, you should describe your problem not only in the title but also in the post.
Anycase, if i have understood your answer, you should buy a 16 GB sd card.
the most important thing is the class, you shold buy a 10 class sd card, because it is faster.
i think GL to SD would be nice

The only way that I've found to do this is Settings-->Storage-->Scroll all the way down to "Miscellaneous" and click on Transfer data to SD card. It doesn't do this in the way that vanilla Android does, but it's close enough for me.
If you just want to move installed app to sd card use link2sd
Press thanks on help

[Q] SD Card full?!

Hi guys! I've faced this problem with every Rom i have used. I usually have 20+ apps and I usually dont even move them to SD card, but I cant take even photos because my phone says that my SD card is full! I checked applications list today and it said I have like 100mb memory to use! when this problem occured again today I only had Firdfox app (23mt) in my SD card. I dont have much photos in my phone either and I have 16GB class 10 memory card... any ideas how to fix this?

Backup your important data from SD to PC, then format the SD using your device. IDK maybe it help
try using link2sd and set to store on auto. if doesnt work try re-entering gmail account

Im confused right now.... I removed my SD card but my phone says that I have two internal storages? I tried to insert my older SD cards but รค there is still that same second internal storage!

try download clean master from playstore and delete junk files. hope it make some space on your sd card
sorry for my bad English
maybe chache causes your problem . Try no to use apps like Facebook or Twitter, these apps eat lot of space, use friendcaster or tweetcaster or etc .
Clean Master, use it
