Not enough memory??

[PoppyLlama]

Okay, so I tried to play NOVA 3 on my galaxy s4 and it says I have to delete 822mb worth of applications but I have a 64 gig micro sd card that hasnt been used. I moved NOVA 3 over to the sd card thinking that would fix it but it hasnt. Whats the deal??

Welcome to Android Central! It probably needs to use Internal Storage rather than External SD for files that are crucial to the app.

Welcome to the forums.
Apps can't be completely moved to the SD card. Some data may be able to be moved, but that is still up to the developer and how much can be.

I took a look at the file size on my phone, and it is 2.xx GB, which means it will get bigger upon installation. That 2 GB is a pretty significant bit out of your internal storage.

Exactly. How much internal memory did your S4 come with? If it was a 16 GB version, then there's really only about 8 GB available to you, and that can fill up relatively quickly.

And yeah its the 16 gig. I didn't any point in paying the extra 100 bucks for 16 more gigs when I can get 6th4 more gigs for 70 bucks with shipping from newegg. And it is a samsung brand card too.
