The SD card, in Android, is for storing data files, not for running apps from.
Some apps
will run from it, but the general rule is to run your apps from internal storage.
Most especially Spotify. I was intending on DLing a TON of songs to this card and making spotify a bloated mess of listening goodness only to find out that I am unable to.
If Spotify can't play the apps on your SD card, try restarting the phone (so that Media Scan runs again and finds them). If it still can't, email the developer.
So I read up on how I might be able to make spotify move to my sd card and see how it was done on previous Notes, has anyone done in on the 4 and can you tell me how?
Settings/General/Application manager. Find Spotify,press it and look for a "Move to SD card" button. If it's not grayed out [if it is, the developer has determined that Spotify won't run from the SD card and has, properly, refused to allow you to move it there], press the button. It will move. Whether it will run from the SD card depends on the app, not the phone or how you move it.
and how to send the stock music app to burn in hell for all of eternity.
Application manager again. Find it and disable it. (If you can't, that's because it's a system app and the phone has to be rooted [jailbroken in iPhone terms] to disable or delete it.)
Also, I don't use Google+ and have disabled it, is that a bad idea?
Google+? Not in my opinion. I don't use it. I do use Google, though - email accounts, contact backups,
Android Device Manager. An Android phone is a Google phone, much as an iPhone is an Apple phone.
