Unable to move App to SD Card

I have Xperia J and have updated to Andriod 4.1.2 and Build Number 11.2.A.0.21

I have downloaded an APP but unable to move the APP to my SD card. The option is only giving to move the APP to Phone or Internal Storage.

Although my SD card is accessible and working

Secondly how to set pictures/videos default location to SD Card

I just got my xperia J and face the same problem. Some apps and games I can't even install because there is too little memory space on the phone, and the 16GB on the memory card can't be used for that. Is there any news in the meantime about a fix for this problem? maybe with a jelly bean update?

otherwise the xperia J is pretty much useless and I'll probably have to return it 😞

Xperia J is my first smart phone...when i compare it with other models my friends have it makes me look like a fool...

Apps can't be moved into the external sd card??WTH??

Has sony decided not to be customer friendly??

My home is loaded with sony goods(tv,music system,dvd player),and i must tell you i've never been this much unsatisfied with sony.

Please look into this issue(APP to EXTERNAL SD CARD) and sort it in the next update.

Also do tell me if you have a built in task manager,if not include it.

Other brands have a one touch task killer whereas i've to open each running task to kill it.

I have the exact same phone with the same problem.  Now I cannot even update apps as my Internal storage and phone memory are full.  I was sold a 32GB SD card with the phone and they installed it for me with no information that there is a problem here, please solve this problem asap.

This is how this phone is designed. You have a phone memory and a separate "app memory" (internal storage) where you can transfer the apps. The SD card is intended for music/media.

Regarding how to set pictures/videos default location you open up camera > settings > data storage > SD card.

I AM STOGLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SONY XPERIA J

PHONE HAS THREE MEORIES 1.PHONE 2.INTERNAL MEMORY 3.EXTERNAL SD CARD

I UANBLE TO MOVE ALL APPS FROM PHON MEOERY TO THE INTERNAL MEMEORY, ONLY FEW OF APP HAVING OPTION TO MOVE ON INTERNAL MEOERY

ALSO SONY MUST WORK IT ON AS ALL APPS CAN BE MOVE ON EXTERNAL MEMORY CARD.

AS I HAVE TAKEN 32 GB CARD BUT I CAN NOT MOVE SINGLE APP FROM PHON/INTERNAL MEMORY TO EXTENAL CARD , AND PHONE MEMORY IS TOO SHORT, SO GOOGLE IS DEVLPONG MILLLIONS OF USEFUL APPS BUT WE CAN NOT DOWNLOAD DUE TO RESTRICTED STORAGE...

PLEASE FIX IT GIVE THE ACCESS TO MOVE ALL APPS ON EXTERNAL MEMORY CARD
