move applications on SD card

[Delendik]

Hi, I can't transfer installed application on SD card on Xperia V, before I had Xperia Ray and I didn't have such problem. How can I do this?

you will have to root your phone and use an app such as apps2sd

This has to do with your phone having a builtin memory which works as a internal storage/SD card. In this case you can't move apps to the external SD-card. You can read more about this here: http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/406527.

Rooting the phone invalidates the device warranty.  Galaxy devices has just got their updates lately that can transfer app to sd, hope for sony mobile too.

rooting doesn't quite void the warranty, it "COULD" void the warranty

Apps like Apps2SD won't always work, i tested a bunch of them with no luck.

Why the hell Sony decided to split internal memory in two parts and named the second one SDCard ? All the trouble to install apps into external SDCard seems to come from that. Every Android phones i saw which had only one internal memory can install apps on SDCards (for example Galaxy S2 works great for that)

I must admit that i love my Xperia V except for this major disappointment as i can't even install European maps for my GPS app due to lack of free space.

If problem is the same for all other Sony Phones then, unfortunatly, Xperia V will be my last phone from Sony.

Root your phone and swap the internal sd with external sd.

You can find how in xda forum!

For some apps, e.g. CoPilot, where the maps (content/data) is what is clogging your internal storage there are options that do not need rooting. For CoPilot 9.4 I found a guide which tells you what files to move and how to alter one of the files in the app directory to direct to the actual SD-card.

Can you give a link to xda forum?
