Transfer media and apps to sd card - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello xda world
I am new here,so i want to ask if there is a way to transfer media(pictures,songs,etc) or apps to sd card?
Also when downloading something is there a way to go to external memory and not to internal?
Thanks in advance
P.S. Sorry for bad English!

You clean send pics audio to sd card without at problems.
To send apps to sd card you will need root, if you have root use app called link2sd to send apps to sd,and use a program called folder mount to send game data to sd card.
By using these you will gain over 2-3gig of internal memory
But you will need root for these to work
Both are available on play store

You need to create a partition on your extnal card I use fat32 as stock rom supports this.
I have 32gig card and have a ext partition of about 3gig.
If you read this thread it explains what you need and if you have any issues better to ask there.

What ROM are you running?

if stock ics and unsafe kernel then flash safe kernel and go there settings storage and do it there. Take out external to be safe. Not you might want to backup fotos fron dcim folder.
If gb, then go to settings then storage, etc
Its all in user manual
edit: at own risk, also note warrantee issue when changing kernel.

Thanks guys but do i have t backup anyfile from internal sd or just format sd and reboot
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Copy DCIM folder, which may contains camera pic(depend on setting in camera app)
Plus copy if any media file you have manually keep on Int SD card (eg music/video)
Rest of files and folder will recreate, but yes some data you have to download again. That totally depends on which application you have installed. But sure by downloading again you can get it back.
You'll loose games' progressions, apps' settings... Just be sure to backup with an appropriate way (eg: Titanium backup, also lots of them need root)
games level, App setting stores in Int memory card??

Well, my bad...
Let's say that it could be the case if he used an app2sd app like DroidsAll ^^'
Still confirm one more time.
I never have used app2sd, but afaik it just sends some portion of appl to sd to make room and it can not b use to backup and you will have to reinstall appl to get it work so no meaning to keep that portion of data.
May b i m wrong, as earlier i said i have never move any app to sd with such appl.

Memory issue

Hey... When iam installing any app which is sd card app, phone memory is utilised along with sd card memory...it takes the phone memory even if it is moved to sd card...can u pls tell me how to over come this...???
Also pls tell me how to free up device memory...??!

You could clear the data and cache of the apps to conserve some space.
Only way to overcome the ace's low internal memory is partitioning your sd card and using some of the known methods to move apps to the partition:
-link2sd for stock rooted roms
-s2e for cyanogenmod based roms
-cronmod scripts for roms with custom kernels that support init.d
Yeah i used link2sd but still d problem exists... It is taking both the device memory nd sd card memory...

Also mnt/storage or mnt/ext_storage. They're the default mount points on any stock rom.

Set as default SD card

I was wondering how do we set the external SD card as the default storage space. All my data and games are on the external SD card and it will be a chore to move everything (there is not enough space to do so as well).
Any ideas?
Oh yeah, there seems to be very little development on this device.....

Apps install to SD

I am getting this phone tomorrow. On my note I edited a vold.fstab file so that my apps install directly to my external SD card. Is their a way to do the same thing on the note 3?

Not sure you can install directly, but once they are installed normally they can be moved to the SD card with the app manager.
