As the user Aredubu stated, he was abke to move apps manually to the sd-card. I can't seem to be able to find the option to do this. When I use file-manager, where do I find my intalled apps and do I need to create a matching folder on my sd-card?

Open File Manager in your Apps drawer

Scroll down until you find what you want to move
Long press that folder or file
Select Move or Copy from the drop down menu
Select SD card as the location to Move the file to
Either create a folder to move/copy the file/folder to or just place it on the SD card.
Done. You can run the file/program from your SD card.

I was trying to follow your instructions. When I browse my internal storage however, I can't seem to find any installed apps. It says in file manager that the internal storage is only emulated. Any thoughts?

Yet another new review:

LG G Pad 8.3 review | Tablets Reviews | TechRadar

This is a pretty fair and good review, 4.5/5 Stars. For those concerned about battery life, take note of what the review says. Personally, I have WiFi turned off while the tablet is in sleep mode and I turn off GPS. I also turn off animations in the Developer Options and I set email syncing to every four hours or so. My battery does drain quickly while streaming videos at full brightness, but my standby time is excellent. Frankly, the battery feels about as good as my Nexus 7.1's battery. Not stellar but manageable.

I'm loving my gpad.The screen is beautiful. Lovely rich colours, and I'm finding 50% brightness plenty bright for me. It's fast and responsive not laggy like my tab 3. I just want a really nice case for it now, the cheap one I'm using at the minute doesn't really do it justice

Does anybody use Google's Chrome Browser on this Tablet?
On mine there is a BIG lag when i am scrolling in Chrome AND holding the Tablet horizontal.
When i'm holding it vertically, the scrolling ist extreme smooth.

Does anybody have the same Problem?

PS: Sorry for my bad english.

One of the very first things I always do is to disable Chrome. I consistently get lag and poor performance from it.

But i never had this Problem on the Nexus 7 (2012). And the LG is more powerful!
Which Browser do you prefer?
Maybe you could test Chrome on your Tablet? This can't be normal....

Ok, i will test Firefox and tell how smooth this is.

 

[Serain]

With Firefox the same Problems! But with this browser the problem is also holding the tablet vertically!

You may want to try resetting your App preferences. Settings --> Apps --> menu --> Reset App Preferences

The G Pad now has its own forum on XDA!

I'm really not seeing this, very smooth scrolling in both orientations.
