Thanks for posting and welcome to the forum!

For now that is how it works, and it's not possible to change for now.

It's for the future to tell if that might be changed in a future update or so.

In the Xperia ray it moves to the SD-card, since the Xperia ray has no built in external memory.

Well, you can use the memory card for lots of other stuff. For example storing pictures, video and music.

In this phone you can't move apps to the SD-card but you can however move them to the internal app-storage (not to be confused by the phone memory).

Click settings > Apps and select the app you want to move. Tap 'move to internal storage'.

I just got my xperia J and face the same problem. Some apps and games I can't even install because there is too little memory space on the phone, and the 16GB on the memory card can't be used for that. Is there any news in the meantime about a fix for this problem? maybe with a jelly bean update?

otherwise the xperia J is pretty much useless and I'll probably have to return it 😞

Xperia J is my first smart phone...when i compare it with other models my friends have it makes me look like a fool...

Apps can't be moved into the external sd card??WTH??

Has sony decided not to be customer friendly??

My home is loaded with sony goods(tv,music system,dvd player),and i must tell you i've never been this much unsatisfied with sony.

Please look into this issue(APP to EXTERNAL SD CARD) and sort it in the next update.

Also do tell me if you have a built in task manager,if not include it.

Other brands have a one touch task killer whereas i've to open each running task to kill it.

I have the exact same phone with the same problem. Now I cannot even update apps as my Internal storage and phone memory are full. I was sold a 32GB SD card with the phone and they installed it for me with no information that there is a problem here, please solve this problem asap.

Re: Unable to move App to SD Card

Samuel1 — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 08:49:50 GMT

This is how this phone is designed. You have a phone memory and a separate "app memory" (internal storage) where you can transfer the apps. The SD card is intended for music/media.

Regarding how to set pictures/videos default location you open up camera > settings > data storage > SD card.
