Transfer of App from Phone Memory to SD Car

[ajayvv]

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

I think it's an android limitation. Jelly bean doesn't allow apps to be transfered to sd card.

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.

i have sd card in my phone but i still can't transfer it to sd card. there's no option.

what does this mean check the storage section.

As i understand it the /data and /sdcard partitions are linked in Xperia SP so basically all apps you install are on the internal storage (phones internal "SD card"). You use the same space for both apps and other files so you don't have any option to move the app.

But depending on what you have you may be able to move apps in JB, if you compare with Xperia TX which also has JB you would have a button for moving the app to the internal storage next to Clear data as /data and /sdcard are not linked in TX.

The "App on internal storage" doesn't really mean anything here as device memory and internal storage is the same.

Moving an app to an external SD card is only possible in phones that doesn't have any builtin SD card/internal storage.
