SGIII how to move downloaded apps to SD

[bgbagz]

So I got suckered and bought the SGIII yesterday!! Coming from the HTC Sensation. Upon the sales rep installing and activating my sim card the GIII automatically downloaded my apps that were installed on my previous phone. No biggie... however I have photos that I keep stored under the "Audio Manager" (I don?t like nosey a$$ people ok app for its purpose). With the above said I cannot access the files that are on my memory card?.. The audio manger files that I have hidden. Normally I would just move the app to the SD card however, I cannot do so on the SGIII any suggestion the options does not appear. Amy I doing something wrong Up until this point in my gadget life I thought I was pretty savvy?.. Now I have a blank stare???????????.

You can't move them to SD card anymore. That option is gone. That's the reason there no longer is a smaller partition for just the core of an app and a larger one for storage, instead, it's just one big partition where all games have to be installed. The idea is to keep your games installed on the phone and your music, docs, pics, and videos on your SD card. The main reason behind that is largely speed and reliability that the onboard storage offers over sd cards. I for one had some issues on my GS2 with apps that were moved partially to the sd card. You might have to hook your phone to your pc and try to find the files that way and move them into a new folder on the sd card.

I believe I read somewhere on this forum that while the games themselves have to be on the internal SD card the data used playing the games can be stored on an ext-SD card. If I misunderstood I am sure there are some avid gamers here that can correct me.

I hope that's true because The Amazing Spider man game is 500mb

Hey buddy, did you find a way to see your hidden pictures? I have the same app and what I did was use a file manager to copy the files over to the main storage area and voila, I could see them. If you need instructions on where the files are, hit me up at jbm0329@gmail.com or if you read the FAQs from the app, it'll give you guidance as well. Good luck and let me know if I can help.
