The most easy solution I found was this button which I don't have : Click the image to enlarge it After going through some forums, the most used solution I ran into is rooting your device and using some kind of app which makes the SD card writable.

And see my answer below. Time to cleanup comments now please delete the first 3, they're obsolete now. Good luck with your device and its storage! Thanks for this question. I actually do see that button for some apps on Android 4. I guess that, for security, each app has to decide what data to allow moving to the SD card where it will be less protected by password, encryption and so on , and if they don't whitelist any data then you can't move the app at all.
Izzy you better read his question first. Read access is still possible, for example, so that alternative galleries can gain access to pictures. As well, when you uninstall an app from your device, the corresponding folder is now delete on the SD card so that no garbage is left behind.
Before you update a smartphone with a microSD card to Android 4. For users with root privileges, there are several apps that will restore the old behavior. One of them is called SDFix.
Without root access there is no such possibility, unfortunately. Or you can skip the Android 4. However, this is usually a moot point as most popular apps have been already been modified for Android 4. For many users, this is a hindrance and they simply just want the same abilities they had with Android 4. Despite everything, it should be considered that Android is a continually evolving system and despite the drawbacks of this change to SD cards, this is an important security update to the.
You'll need to be rooted with Android 4. This SD card write permission issue doesn't exist on previous iterations of Android, so there's no point of installing it if you're still on 4.
Also, this fix is mainly geared towards stock ROMs. This modification restores the ability of third-party apps to write and make changes to your external SD card—all you have to do is open up the app and follow the on-screen directions.
Once you're at the Complete screen, just reboot your phone for the changes to take effect. It's as simple as that! Just like in Android 4. Get a lifetime subscription to VPN Unlimited for all your devices with a one-time purchase from the new Gadget Hacks Shop , and watch Hulu or Netflix without regional restrictions, increase security when browsing on public networks, and more.
I expect other apps will have similar problems. How bloody stupid! Exactly what I wanted to say. Everywhere they say "just install SDFix". It just doesn't work with the international version of the M8. I would also suggest clearing out data in the apps you run all the time just make sure it isn't something you need by going into "Setting" You can cause major problems for the phone.
I would stick to doing it only with apps you have downloaded and installed. They should be under the "Downloaded" tab in the "Apps" area of "Settings". You must log in or register to reply here.
