Hi All,
All earlier posts I could find are at least a few years old, so this is somewhat checking, and hoping, to see if the information is different.
Bottom line - Is there a default way (without rooting) to have apps install to the SD card?
I am looking at buying the new Sony Xperia Z2 tablet and trying to decide on the 16gig for $499 or the 32gig for $599. I would prefer to buy the 16gig for $499 and buy a 64gig sd card for $40. Saves a few bucks and provides more space in the end.
However, I don't want to skimp on the internal memory if I am just going to run into trouble down the road. I know with a 16gig they end up using about 6 or 7 gig for its own software, leaving really only 9 or 10 actual space I can use.
Stuff like movies, music and files I can put on the sd card no problem. But I probably have upwards of 800 - 1000 apps I own, of course only about 100 - to maybe 150 I use to a point I will re-install. But many of these apps store their info locally too and I don't want to run into trouble.
Have things gotten better in Android where this can be done more easily or by default? The Sony comes with Android 4.4 I hear.
Thanks all.
