Apps to sd card

Thilina247 — Sun, 14 Sep 2014 05:21:45 GMT

HI,
I recently bought a Sony xperia Z1 and I updated firmware to kitkat 4.4.4 and I've been installing some big games that require a lot of space like dead trigger 2 and real racing 3 but My problem is that I cannot seem to be able to install these apps to my 32gb Sd card there is also no option to move the to my sd card in the app info section like my xperia P which I also own even though it doesn't support sd card it had that option and now I need a way to either install or move my apps in my xperia Z1 to my sd card because my internal storage is almost 100% full and I've got many more big apps to install

Ps. Please DON'T ask me to root because I know it will void my warranty

Thank You

Hi.

Unfortunately it is impossible in KitKat. Move app to SD feature was removed from the system by Google.

You can only move music, videos, pictures and other files using so called First Party file manager. In case of Z1 it is a File Commander application.

You need to blame Google for that change.

There is no point as the new Google API's which are needed for apps to work don't support this feature due to Google moving towards Android L - It was given to some phones and they reported that apps no longer worked
