Most apps only use the SD card to store their data. The actual install is on the phone/tablet memory. If you are changing phones, there are many backup programs that allow you to back up selected apps to your desktop PC and restore to your new phone. I believe some may backup the app to your SD card also, however the PC backup is easier for me.
touch the "Settings" icon, go down to the "Device" area, touch the "Storage" icon : go to the bottom of the screen, and select "Transfer data to SD card", then select the items you want to move.
You should also move some apps from internal storage to the SD card : "Settings", "Device", and touch "Applications" : then touch each and every application : for most of them, the button "Move to SD card" will be active, just proceed.
If you are referring to apps you are downloading, that is probably correct. Most apps will not use the SD card to run (or load). It takes more programming for apps to use the SD card than not to, and since many users do not have an SD card installed, most apps won't use it. That is the falsehood that comes with tablets and eReaders. Users are led to believe that even though the tablet may not have a lot of internal memory that they can add an SD card. That works fine for personal files and photos, but not for apps and their data. Users need to know that if they want a lot of apps on their tablet, they need a tablet with a boatload of internal memory.
In your settings you can find 'applicaton manager' find the app in question and press it. There should be a 'move to sd card' button. That should transfere most of the app data to the card for less tablet memory usage.
Does your tablet have a built-in app for transferring files? If not, your easiest option is plug it into your computer. A window will pop up with various options, one of which will probably be something like "Open device to view files". Select that and you will see Directories for the internal memory and the SD card, and then you can cut and paste or drag and drop files from one to the other.
Hi if you want transfer your apps on sd card go to setting- application manager- choose the app and there you will see a move to SD card button, just press it and after a while your app gona be transferred to memory card. You need do it for every app sepretlly. If you want store a photo's on it go to camera- setting and there press storage and choose memory card. With music create a folder music on it using my files and player should detect it automaticlly if not navigate there.
Although the Android phones and tablets can add (micro) SD cards, that will not extend the internal memory. You should see the SD card as a extra hard disk. Here you can hold pictures and music. As soon as you installed extra apps, and the phone or tablet is telling you the memory is full, you only can free memory, by deleting apps from the main memory.
If you thought I can buy a phone or tablet with less memory, because the SD cards are very cheap and will extend the internal memory, you thought wrong.
You can't transfer an app to the memory card and still use it as if it was in the main memory.
This more than likely means your internal storage is low and not the SD card and may not have anything to do with your pictures but more so with your apps. Go into settings and see if your tablet has the feature to set where your downloads and other media is stored, by default that will be your internal memory. change it to SD card or USB storage. In Settings you can also click on your apps individually and transfer them manually one by one to the SD card or USB storage or download a file manager and do so all at once. Some apps and files may not have the feature to transfer these apps the tablet came with or apps you downloaded that uses the internal memory. By default if a memory card is in you tablet pictures are automatically store there, if this is not the case the easiest way to transfer is connecting the tablet to a computer/laptop and transfer to the card or again use a file manager.
As far as i know this meathod usually works with apps. First you go to settings, second you go to storage, third you go to something like apps, fourth you select an app, fifth you select move to SD card or move to internal memory depending on where you have your data saved. I hope this helps anyone with this problem, im no expert but i will try my best to help
