Transfer of App from Phone Memory to SD Car

Hi,

I have just bought Sony Xperia SP in India.

I have installed few apps and games on the phone.

I wish to transfer these apps and games on SD card however there is no provision of moving the same from Phone memory to SD card. The only option I could see was transfer to photos/ music & Videos.

Could you please suggest any option for moving the games & apps from Phone's Internal memory to SD card (a feature which is available in Xperia Neo).

I tried using few apps available on play store like App2SD etc however I was unable to move the games & apps to SD card.

Would appreciate your solution on the above.

Regards,

Ajay

you can not do so, you will have to root your phone and partition your SD card.

Samsung solved it with an update... Sony should do it too, because root = warranty over. ;(

rooting doesn't quite mean that your warranty will be void, unless your unlock the bootloader

Hello Rickard,

My name is Simone Crimella and I am a Sony Xperia SP owner. Great smartphone and services, I love it!


I have a question regarding the link you posted about the three different types of memory in response to ajayw's question.

Link you posted: (http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/-/-/m-p/289366#M11)


I started reading it yesterday and I remember being it really helpful!
It was about the three different types of memory and how to manage the phone's storage capabilities to keep the phone running smoothly.
Unfortunately today it is no longer available..

Could you please grant access to it?

I would like to study it to manage the phone's memories and i think it could really help other users as well (while also benefiting Sony Xperia TM)

I look forward your prompt cooperation

Thank you for your time and patience,

Kind regards,

Simone Crimella

There is a way around, but you will have to root your phone and install an app such as app2sd, also its not worth it if your SD card its lower than class 6
