Help App2SD problem in Samsung GS III

Hi,are there any Samsung GS III 16 GB International Version owner got App2SD problem like I do? When I try to send apps to SD card by using App 2 SD ( pro or free don't matter ) The app said " The device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary external storage is emulated. Moving app to SD function may not be supported by this device. "
WTF?! This is a Galaxy S III using ICS 4.0.4 XXLF2 it doesn't support app to SD function? The phone does show the SD card and it's content ( songs,pics from previous phone ) but apps can't be moved there.
When I google it I've seen a lot of people got the same issue but no ones able to provide anwers.
So now I can only use the build in 16 GB. Can some one help to answer this if you know the reason why.
Thanks in advance
 
Quite simply, it's not supported yet. Apps have to be modified and possibly a firmware update (wouldn't surprise me) no doubt at some point it will be supported but I believe the main intention of apps2sd was for early smart phones that only had 180mb or so of internal ram, and that was before the os was installed.

Now people are just being greedy and wanting their entire music and video collection on their phone as well as hd games and such.

Don't lose hope just yet.

Is that what it is? Not supported yet? Thanks for your reply but we still have to wait then...So frustrated.
 
Frustrating yes. But with 16 or 32 Im thinking that anyone can manage what's on the phone. I had Google Chrome until I saw it was the biggest app on phone. With Dolphin and stock Browser I just deleted Chrome. space management is the key just like I did with my music and photos on SD card.
This reminds me, I need a 64g card.
