Lollipop's Move Apps to SD feature Question. - Sony Xperia ZR

Hello! Guys.
I updated my phone to LP 5.0.2 10.6.A.0.454 & Tried Moving "Fifa15 Ultimate Team (1.25GB)" to SD Card using the settings>apps> Move to SD button, it said that it's on SD card now, yet the game couldn't start & showed the "Looking for resources to download" notification, I still haven't tried this with other apps.
So Have anyone tried the new feature & succeeded moving an app to the sd card ?!
P.S Game works fine while on Internal Storage, & I have a backup of the obb folder
Xperia ZR C5502.
5.0.2 10.6.A.0.454.
Not Rooted
Kingston Class 10 16 gb SD-Card.

It may be that this game wont work on sd card.
Not all games and apps support this.
Try another game and see.
There are way to fix it if you are rooted, searh for foldermount.

Thank you.
I know about foldermount & the xposed module obb2sd & stuff like this, I just hoped that the new feature would work without problems

Hi,
I think it is not fail of sony feature, but fail from EA. As I remember from android 2.3.7 where is also possible move apps to sd card, EA games fail too after move to sd.

[Q] External sd card

Hello,
So I have an xperia Z with 16gb of internal memory and about 11gb usable and a sd card with 64gb, so the problem is I have used all that space internal with games and I can't transfer apps to external sd card (thats one of the reasons why I got a 64gb card so I could install games on it but turns out I can't) you used to be able on older phones like I had an lg optimus black and transferred apps to sd easily, so is there a way to transfer apps to sd or not I tried gl to sd which didn't work the phone just reboots when mounted and tried alot of other apps but the same thing happens and its not straight forward lol, the other question is will they allow apps to external sd when 4.4 is out? If so, I don't mind waiting lol
Also my phone is 4.3, rooted, locked boot loader and have dual recovery 2.7.78 and stock
I don't want to partition the sd either

almost of android device disable this feature (app to sd) after android 4.0 (ICS)
so it won't back on 4.4
u r root and u can find an app in play.store to mount ur sd-card and then install app in it.
so search little bit

[Q] SD card issues with new kitkat builds

Hi,
I have been using both stock, CM builds and other after market roms from my xperia x10 mini pro days. Now, I own an xperia mini pro and xperia z. I have installed various kitkat aftermarket roms on my xperia z. I installed the latest cm11, From here I could not change any contents on my SD card. Within the phone I cannot copy to or delete from the sd card. I tried all file managers including the ones with root permissions. I removed the sd card and tried direct copying. The fun is copying will be succesful. But once I unmount and remount the card, the contets wouldnt have changed. I try to format the card. It will get formatted but once I unmount and remount all the previous contents are intact. I the flashed back 4.3. There again the issue persisted.
I had the same issue with my xperia mini pro and cm11. Since then this is my second sd card(32 gb on mini pro and 64 gb on xperia z). I know there are certain issues with kitkat and sd cards. Can anybody please throw some light on resolving this issue. I am a rom hopper and I dont like to be cornered with these issues.
But strangely, I never had any issues with pabx's build.

You should ask in that specific thread of the rom you're using instead of here.
I think this is a generic issue
I think this is a generic issue. It eminates from the point that the majority of the after market roms are using bits from the CM project, Thanx for the reply. What I want to know here is does kitkat do anything to the sd card which cannot be washed away after even attempting a format?

Did you try to format the sd card with your pc? Does the pc even recognize it correctly?
If you have problems while on a stock rom, then I suggest that you backup your data, then format the SD card with the SD Association tool - https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
If possible, you should do this via a card reader/slot and not while it's in the phone.
If you still have problems, then your card may be faulty.

Yes, the format was tried on pc
The format operation was tried both on windows and Arch Gnu/Linux. I can add or delete a file. But after remount, the changes are gone. It is like I am having a write once DVD.
sorry for resurrecting this thread but has anyone found a way to fix the issue?
Just like the others, I encountered the problem after I downgraded from Kitkat to Jellybean. I have tried formatting my 64Gb Transcend micro SD card using various softwares. Some fail to format midway. Some indicate that it has been successfully formatted but upon checking, the contents are not removed.
Due to a policy change in Kitkat it is, for most apps, not allowed to change the content on the SD card. To fix this, root the device and install de SDFix from the play store.

Do I have to root it using Jellybean or Kitkat?

[Q] Data SD Problems with Internal Problems

Hello All,
I have a new Xperia Z and have rooted it. Locked bootloader.
The trouble is that everything wants to go on the internal storage (which only has like 9gb left).
Nothing seems to install tot he external SD card. No option in the APPS section to move it either.
I tried using some Move2SD apps, but either they say there isn't an external storage or it's emulated.
So what can I do? I can't even download a small file currently because now my phone keeps saying that there
isn't sufficient space available. Which just isn't possible. I have like 25gb on the SD card and 9gp on the
cell internal. Something isn't quite working right I think.
Thanks for any help.

[Q] How to move Game data to External SDcard

Hello Guys,
Recently I bought a Xperia ZR and its working great. Now on Stock 4.4.2 with root. I want to play HD games on my device but cannot move data to SD card. Previously I was using Xperia Mini where the data can only be saved to SD card. However with this device the internal memory is so low and I cannot afford to waste it with game data when there is ton of free space in SD card.
NOTE: i already tried gl 2 sd and its not working
Any one,?

External Memory Fix

Hi friends,
Using Galaxy S5 G900H Variant with Lollipop. Please help me here. How can make my SD card as the default storage. Everything from the downloaded files to whatsapp folder.. is being used by internal storage. Please help me make my external as the default storage.
Default is the way it works, you can try the app foldermount, riding folders on the external SD so you do space
G900H Rom by Genezis
Hi.
Move whatsapp application to SD card. This might work.
Sorry, no such option . Just checked.
Sent from my SM-G900H
Pretty pathetic that Android still won't allow SDCard as default storage, how long has Android been around vs Windows Phone? And Windows Phone can already do it
If you're brave, you can root your phone and download an app called link2sd. Then you have to partition your sd card and you can move anything (to my understanding) to the SD card. I'm gonna do it tonight, I'll let you know how I go!
Partitioning went real well! I'm gonna add a bigger partition tonight. Feel free to PM me for details!
I personally thing its a bad idea as SD cards are slower than the builtin storage. I would like to be able to move more data to the SD card, generally keep all my media on the SD card and move a few apps. Keep rest on the internal and keep it clean.
I have a 128GB high performance SD card that has quick read and write speeds and it works fine for me- I reckon it's a matter of preference.
I'm around my link2sd/partition for about a week...
Hope you can help me!
