can't move apps to SD card

[Billa]

Hi, my internal memory is full and I tried to move some application to SD card but without success!! this is what I did:

settings >applications>manage applications> (I choose an application)> (the "Move to SD card" button is not activated)!!!!

can you help, please?

That app may not be able to move to SD card.

In android you can not move all the apps like facebook, gmail, whatsapp or any messanger apps.

I think the app you trying to move is not allowed.

this means that we can't free some space in the internal memory. which means that we can't update our applications nor install any more applications and of course the phone starts working slowly!!!!!

[chiraggmodi]

no you can move the apps to sd card but not all apps. Some apps will stay in the phone memory.

Absolutely nonsense and ridiculous from Sonyericsson company at least give us the option to move the applications we've downloaded from google play and the system application remain stored in the internal memory!!!!!!!!

You can only move apps you have downloaded and installed (well most of them anyway, if they support it), those that come preloaded are not movable.

I noticed the installed version of facebook as 3mb, but when I updated it, it went to 20mb, so I removed the update and used the web version instead.

Or even better - disable facebook application for good

It's not only facebook (27.01 MB) but many others like Maps (13.03 MB); Weather channel (7.58 MB); Twitter (10.86 MB); Adobe Flash Player (12.85 MB) and many more! why not give us the option to store them on SD card?

You can move any non system app to sdcard. Developers usually set install locations when compiling app. They are auto (0), internal (1), external (2). When location set to 1 app cant move to sdcard.

So we have to manually Set the install location to 2.

First install terminal emulator from play store. Then run it. Get superuser permission by typing

su

and enter. This thing need a rooted device. After that we should set device default install location to 2 by typing

pm set-install-location 2

and enter.

If this not worked try this code

pm setinstalllocation 2

Thats all. if all worked perfectly, you can check default location by entering below code

pm get-install-location

It should show 2.

Then go app settings and move ur app.

If havent root then try adb and enter shell and change location. For this type this code

adb shell pm set-install-location 2

If u dont know about adb just google it.

Would it possible to replace. Weather Channel with weather and news app already built-in the device.
