Moving apps to Sd Card

[Conor78]

Hi
Ive been trying to move apps across to the sd card. When I do this with one app when I go back into change others the option to chamge storage has gone. Also some of the apps i tried to change have an sd symbol on them and when I click on them it says that they are not installed???

I tried to do this with Facebook and the app kept acting all screwy. In my opinion, Samsung may as well have omitted the sd card slot on this phone, because they are problematic for so many. My first edge kept destroying pics and various files on the sd card. My replacement, so far, seems to be doing much better, but I'm still hesitant to believe it can be trusted.

So far so good here. I've loaded all the apps with the option to the SD card as well as storage locations for Spotify etc. Seems to be working just fine (knock on wood). I did upgrade to a class 10 SD card to make sure the transfer speeds were adequate enough to not bog the phone down.

I hope you get whatever is going wonky on your phone figured out.

My SD card has been flawless in my edge 7, both for moving apps and accessing music files and photos....

How are you guys moving apps to SD? Is it in the settings or are you using an app to do so?

Go to Application Manager in settings. Choose the app you want to move. Select storage. If the app can be moved to the SD card, there will be a box underneath the internal storage label that says "change". An indicator will come up giving you the option to move it to the SD card. Some apps cannot be moved, and won't give you the option. You can use Android Central as an example of one that can.
An easier way to do this is to download App Manager Pro 3. You can find it in the Playstore.

Ah ok...I was doing what you instructed but not seeing any apps capable of being moved. Ebay was the first one that I came to that can be moved! Thanks...

Have you tried adaptable storage?

Here is some information on this and some cons listed about doing this with a phone, if people aren't familiar.

Curious.. Why are y'all moving apps to the SD card?

 

[Antony Guan]

My guess is that they want more internal space for more important things

Well that is what I was trying to figure out. If I'm not mistaken, putting apps on the SD card is what can slow down your phone.

Remember, not all Apps can be moved to your sd card. If an app is capable of running from your sd card you'll get the option to move. If not, you will not get the option. And remember, if you want a widget to run, you MUST keep it on your phone storage, not sd card.
