So, it's impossible to save apps in the SD...

[Amaterasu2302]

Hi!

On february 23 my dad and my sister bought me a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 for birthday. It was a surprise, because they told me there was no money to buy anything to me, and yet the bought it (more than 150 dollars). I was pretty sure there was no money because we're not rich, but that's not the point.

The tablet is 8GB internal. With the OS and other installed apps is just 4GB... I was planing on buying two 32 GB SD cards, one for apps, the other for personal files.

I recently discovered reading reviews that it's impossible to move apps to the SD. What the hell i'm going to do with just 4GB of apps?. personal files are not a problem, but apps....da fuq.

You have plenty room for apps. You will have over 4 GB left for apps and that is enough room for 100 to 200 apps. That is plenty for most people. I haven't found it to be a problem.

How many apps do you plan on having?

Large apps are a problem. I downloaded an offline navigation app (sygic) and it used so much that I already recieved an out of space error. I bought a 32GB SD card before I found out I couldnt move apps. Sooo all I can really do is download a bunch of songs and stuff on here. Plan on buying a 16GB card and save some money

I chose to return my tab 2. I quickly ran out of room. I have a few games over a GB and just a few dozen more over 0MB and many others. Not even a hundred apps total. So far my apps use closer to 12GB themselves and I know there will still be more. I don't use all of them all the time but often enough that I wanted them to be available. I want a tablet with enough memory for apps that I don't have to pick and choose which ones I want installed at any given moment.

I really did like the tab 2. I just chose not deal with the limited memory.
