How to get the entire game on micro SD?

[andrewq911]

Now that we finally have the 4.3 update, we can transfer our games and apps to the SD card... Only 1 problem.. My fiance has a note 3, she can put entire games on her card but when I put a game on the card only a fraction of the game is on the card. I tested this with pvz 2, she has the entire game on the SD card but I only have 10.4 megs on my SD card. Is there a setting I am missing or something?

Nope, it's the dev's fault. App2SD is wrongly advertised. You CAN move apps to the SD Card, but that doesn't mean that you can move all of them. It's still up to each app's developer to decide if the app can be moved (this only moves the APK, which is probably the small file you're seeing), if the extra download files (game data) can be moved, if all data can be moved, or if no data can be moved at all.

In some cases, the same dev uses different policies for different devices, which is probably the case here since you say your fiance can move the entire game to SD Card...

You COULD try to wipe all game data/cache, uninstall the game, reboot, and then re-install the game and move it to the SD Card. Sometimes if you installed it prior to the 'patch', the game stays in the internal memory for good.
