I have Samsung Tab S 8 (SM-T700) which is running Andriod 5.0.2. When ever I move an app to my SD card it wont run. Error "Cant find application". When I try to move back the app to my device I am only given an option to uninstall it. I can view all pic and other files on the SD Card. Under Applications list I will see com."ApplicationName" Is there a fix for this????

Welcome to Android Central! The SD card could be corrupt, defective, or counterfeit. Install SD Insight to see if the card is genuine or counterfeit. Counterfeit cards are programmed to report more storage than they actually have, and if you try saving more than the card can actually hold, then files can start getting corrupt.


If it's a valid card, then go to Settings>Storage, Unmount the card, remove it, and insert it into your computer. Can the computer read these files? Backup as much as you can right now, then run chkdsk to look for bad sectors: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...guide-using-chkdsk-fix-corrupted-sd-card.html.
