So, if you know me, and a lot of you do, you probably know that I’m technologically inept. I got a fancy (for me anyhow) new tablet for one of my Christmas presents and it came with a 128gb SD card. Well, I got it all fired up and put the SD card in (only took me half an hour to figure out how to open that slot thing) and I wanted to store all my apps and pictures and whatnot on the SD card since the tablet is only 32 gigs. I can’t figure out how to move my apps to the SD card. Anybody have any experience with this stuff?
Did it work for you or show you how to do it on your tab?
if you open “Settings”, scroll down to “Apps”, tap the app you’d like to move, then under the specific app options tap “Storage” and under “Storage used” tap “change” , it gives you the option to move the app to an SD card if you have one installed.
There are exceptions. If the app is preloaded or somehow registered to your Google or Samsung account , they don’t allow you to move most of those apps. It’s hit and miss but you can move some and of course it’s a pain to move every app individually.
You can also go into “Settings” and “Storage” and select your SD card and tap the hamburger menu, and select “Settings” and “Format as internal”, then “Erase and Format”. your SD card will then be read as internal storage
I even opened the Developer Options and selected “force allow apps on external” which “makes and app eligible to be written to external storage, regardless of manifest values”. Not sure if that’s right but it sounded good.
If you have a DS 12 modulating destabilizing link I can log in from here nd do it all for you. It is quite technical and would be hard to explain, easier for me to just do it.
I already did it. I was able to get your password from a contact on the dark internet. The changes won’t take effect unit you mail me a check for a buck two fifty. Until then you are locked out. PS. I saw the sites you have been on that your wife doesn’t know about
Congrats on the new tablet!
Can’t help you with your specific question, but I would like to give you some advice, even though I am no “tech guru”.
I doubt that 32GB is not going to be enough for your apps, especially since you mentioned you are not a “power user”.
If you are a planning to use the tablet to take pictures for work (based on the markate screenshot), you should know that your phone likely takes much better quality pictures, and if it doesn’t, it might be worth it to upgrade to a new phone.
Also, I wouldn’t use an sd card to store anything that is not backed up - as far as I understand, those things are like the “direct drive pump” equivalent of storage.
Just my 2cents…
I am. I just can’t see a way to move apps to it anywhere. I know I’m bad at this but I’ve managed to do this in the past and don’t remember having any issues.
Hey thanks. No, I’m planning on using my Pixel for photos and whatnot. I’m just going to use this for general use but wanted it to have as much stuff backed up on the SD card as possible in case this tablet crashes like my last Samsung tablet did a few years back.
