I didn't think this was a problem, because the Samsung Galaxy S4 has a micro-SD slot. However, the article says that apps CANNOT be installed on micro-SD. Is this a recent thing? Does anyone know why they'd do that?
- CrazedGeek 14y agoThis is a general Android thing, not a Samsung thing. It has to do with the way Honeycomb and above handle internal storage and external SD cards. It just doesn't come up that often because so few new phones have SD card slots anymore.
- joelhaasnoot 14y agoThe 16GB is generally formatted to be a 2GB OS partition where apps normally go, and you can use the "USB Drive" partition of the 16GB to move apps to. Not as bad as it sounds - haven't run out of space on my S2 yet, but you might have to move things around.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoI don't know about not being able to install apps on microSD at all, but as a Gingerbread user, I find an awful lot of apps simply refuse to install on the SD card and must use the internal memory, which sucks, considering there is very little of it on my budget Samsung phone.
- thedrbrian 14y agoDoesn't that almost completely defeat the point of adding an SD card?
