So i bought this phone a few days ago its an awsome phone for the price first thing the storage it bogles my mind why i can't have the option to select which storage be the primary internal or SD for example i love racing game and one of the best games are Real Racing 3 and Asphalt 8 and they are big games and takes up most of my storage space and theres no option to move the app to SD card is this because android 4.3 does not support it or Sony disabled it for some reason? And i dont want to root my phone cause i have an extended warranty for the phone.
And an other question. How good is the battery life for the phone i keep stamina mode on what is the average charge for the phone for mixed usage?
Yeah you cant set sd card like primary storage.But you can use app called folder mount and transfer obb (data) files from internal storage to sd.Also you have video on my yt channel.

Hey note owners
OK so recently i bought a 16 gig micro SD card to expand the space on my note and i finally got it today and so i got a couple games with big data up to 500 MB to 1 GB. so i was wondering how to move the games to the SD, i mean i know there is an option in settings to move to SD but it only moves the game file to SD, i want to move the SD data to it too.
i tried manually moving the SD data to the exact same folder it was in the internal storage to the SD but when i open the game it asks me to download the SD data
so how do i move like everything from the game to the SD data to the SD card
is there an app for it???
Do you tried "App2SD" (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&hl=de)
Yes I tried it does the same, I want to move the sd data to sd card too!

You seem to be doing better than me. I got my new 32gb SD today and I've tried moving apps to SD (with apps to SD app) and it just moves them to the internal SD rather than my 32gb one. I really don't understand why they designed it to work this way
Their must be a way to move apps and their data to the external SD

I always choose to install application in device, it has huge ROM 2gb, i think enough to hold app. At presently i have 170 user application + stock still 700mb used, because big data n library by default saves to internal memory card.
And internal memory card hav better read/write capacity thn ext memory card, so it wont causing lag in running application. Ext card useful for titanium backup storage, ebook collwction, music, video, pictures etc.

This is true but its a class 10 card so quite fast and it would be nice to have the option. Especially when apps are getting so much bigger, i just installed gta3 and that's 500+MB!

Have not tried this on note yet as its got plenty of space. But on galaxy ace I have 16 gb class 10 sd card. I have created ext 4 partition on the card using clockwork recovery. I use Link2Sd to transfer apps to the sd card. I guess Link2SD needs init.d script support.
ok I figured out with trial and error that you cannot move the app data cannot be moved out but its fine with the new sd card I just moved every thing media vise like music, videos and pictures to the memory card and now I got a bout 9 gig out of 11 gigs on the internal storage and 5 gigs out of 14 on the external card, so now since I added all my songs to my phone I only need my phone for music when I go out and not carry my iPod but any ways I hope you guys enjoy your phone as much as I do!

Everything is being stored on phones internal but id like to store mainly on my removeable sd for obvious reasons. Any help? Thanks

Your downloads should be edited manually in your preferred browser. Pictures and videos can be selected under camera settings. Applications will still install on internal, but apart from that the rest can be pointed towards sdcard-ext. What else would you like to move to the external?
I just wanted all videos and pics from camera and browser saved to ext

Well, like I said. Just change the default location under settings when in Camera mode.
I've recently picked up the xperia z and a 64gb mem card. I'm trying to load my music on my external SD but everytime I do it by album it only copies a small amount of data and makes the music unplayable due to the fact it'll play the first 2 seconds then skip... Any way around this?
Also is it possible to copy the data from games (Nova 3, GTA 3 etc to my external as I wanna keep the internal for apps only?
EDIT: Btw if it matters I'm on .423
Thanks!

No u cannot move apps-data to external (cause android 4.x.x not support app to sd-card)
about ur problem with music u can do this for troubleshooting;
test another sd-card
force stop app (from setting > apps > all)
clear cache
clear data
Format Sd-card (i recommend to do it with unix like ubuntu) (what is ur sd-card?)
:good:
Don't use album to transfer music. Go to settings...Xperia....USB connection mode.... Change it from MTP (media transfer protocol) to MSC (mass storage card). Accept all disclaimers that internal memory cannot be connected and so on. Connect to PC using USB cable. Open ext storage card in My Computer (in case auto open doesn't occur) and transfer any amount of music/video to card by copy/paste or drag & drop. Transfer speeds are faster in this mode, than in MTP...
Dead Cookies leave mo trails...
Or fastest method:
- pull out memory card, put it in card reader and Copy/Paste data from PC
gave up decided to format it into fat32 and works flawlessly with no drop in storage
@x102x96x
I meant the data the game downloads not the app itself I wanna use my external as the storage but last time I used the mod but it screwed up my systemui so I ditched it.

I hope you formatted it within Xperia with it's own format tool from Settings It is highly recommended to do that.

Again i should say NO
the game app will search for its data and if u move them to external it won't find them and try to download again and all ur personal data in the game will lose
> u cannot force game app to read from external memory for data unless have root access or use custom ROM

No. But your media files and your app data storage area share the same space. And if you have an 8Gb HD that can fill up fast if you have large games or a lot of media files. The solution is to either delete or move those media files to your external SD.

What's the memory usage mean under 'running' in the settings/ apps?

That is RAM, not storage. The Nook has 768MB of RAM available and has nothing to do with storage space on the device. When you move apps to SD, that is storage, not RAM. And Android has a very efficient system of loading apps into and out of active RAM. The user does not have to do anything at all.

So i noticed that if I download game it gets installed to local storage and large obb file, when I go to the app in settings and move it to sd card, it does it and reports that it's now using sd card storage and for example the obb file is 1.6GB and so it shows this size on sd card too.
However when I use file explorer it is not correct, the large obb file is still on local storage and nothing been created on sd card.
It's a bit annoying you might as well not bother moving apps if it doesn't work properly.
Anyone with solution ?

From my experience, moving apps to your SD card is more of a hindrance than a benefit. Most times it still takes up room on your internal memory. Sorry I can't go full on technical. In my experience it's pretty useless unless you have adoptable storage like the HTC u11.

Of course it is possible. I'm just not sure it actually does it. It looks like it creates a mirror file in the EXT without actually removing the file from the INT. The best example I have is when I save music to ext on google play music. The google play music app on my SD is still like 4GB for some reason.
