So I've tried a couple play store options that just moved my apps to virtual sd card which is of course useless. Tried developer options to force SD card to accept apps, that didn't work. Is there a way I can use a 128 SD card as internal storage as I play a lot of games and my 64 gigs is running out quick. Thanks guys

I'm running htc bliss WWE 3.5 for hd2 by dungphp, I have a EU HD2, 2GB SD card with 1gb partition 0 swap, I have a few apps but I can't download anymore due to no more space on my device memory, my SD card is almost untouched, is there a way to save apps to my SD card instead of to the device memory?
Thanks in advance

There are many ways to move apps to the sd card. You can go to Settings-Manege Applications and select the apps you want to move to the sd card. However, this can be troublesome if you want to move many apps. You might want to use Apps2SD to batch move the files to sd. On the other hand, do take note that not all apps work when when they are moved to the SD card. So it is best you only move the user apps that take up more memory. Just a word of advice, even if your apps are in your SD card, it is only a matter of time before you exceed your 2GB of SD card memory. 6/8GB class 4/6 should be ideal.
I am on the newest update (yeah, stupid me, whatever). I moved some apps to the SD card, and downloaded some big games (GTA 3, GTA Vice City) but noticed that after the download, there was significantly less space on the internal storage but barely any of the storage space on the SD card went down. It says that the SD card data and the SD card app has >1 GB there for each of the applications, but the total (along with other apps) in the actual SD card is something around 800mb, and my storage space in my internal storage has decreased by a few gigabytes.
Is this issue because android is allocating most of it to the internal storage folder /sdcard instead of the external card?
Also, is there any way to get Google Play Music to download songs to the SD card instead of internal storage?
Update: Never mind, I uninstalled some apps I haven't used in a long time, then moved the apps off of my SD card and to Device Memory.

I have a 16 GB external SD Card, I have apps which I run off of the SD card. I want to move to a new 32 GB SD card I bought. I don't have enough space to move any of the apps on the external SD Card back to the internal memory. How can I switch to the 32 GB SD card. (I tried just copying everything on the 16 SD card to the 32 GB SD card. But that didn't work, the apps didn't run.
Is my only option to uninstall the apps on the External SD card, move copy all the (non-app) data to the 32GB SD card, and then reistall all the apps I removed and then move those to the external SD card?
What things are usually hogging all the internal memory? I wish I could free up space. I use ES3 and Drives to explore and manage files on my phone.
Would the apps I move off of the External SD Card be moved to External Storage (not System)?

Hi i got my Moto x style (32gb) yesterday. I bought a new 32gb SanDisk ultra (uhs-1) SD card and formatted as internal as soon as it is inserted for the first time. I am running marshmallow.
1. I am not able to move my music to SD card. Everytime when I move music from Pendrive (via otg) to /sdcard/Music using ES explorer, it always fills the phone internal memory rather than SD card (formatted as internal).
2. Similarly in the camera app, I don't even see an option (from options ring) to chose the destination (SD card).
Due to this, my music, videos and pics are all in internal memory though I am able to move apps from internal memory to SD card by going to settings->storage & usb option.
Can anyone pls help me? Thanks

Alright. I tried the other option by formatting the SD card to portable instead of internal this time and now, I can move pics, videos and music from internal to portable SD card and vice versa however apps can't be moved to SD card.
Is this how moto x style behave? Either you can use your SD card (as portable sd) for storing videos, music and pictures but not for installing apps or the other way around by using only for apps (as internal) and not for videos/pics/music.
Can anyone confirm? Is there anyway SD card can be used for apps and as well as video/pics/music?
Thanks for going through this thread. Appreciate if someone can provide inputs.
Hi Guys, I just wanted to check if there's any fix to move apps to SD card, I've tried a couple of apps & xposed modules too but nothing's working.

By doing this I will only be able to use my SD card for installing apps & nothing else, it'll not let me store anything else on SD card & thats why I am not formatting the SD card as internal.

Thanks for responding. I did switch to Adoptable Storage when I bought this device & noticed that it only stored apps, game data etc. Adoptable storage was not showing / detecting on my pc & laptop too, check this link for more info https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/109134/p/1449,9582
