Trouble witch SD Card

For application, you are not able to move from phone storage to memory card, for personal data like photos, videos, yes, you can move them.

Incorrect.
Plenty of applications can be moved to the sd card without a problem.
 
Seriously.

It's discussed throughout this thread, http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...-tell-me-why-we-cant-get-32-64-gig-phone.html, which is several threads merged together.

Of course phone salespeople aren't briefed properly: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/716082-verizon-s4-misleading-customer.html

Started with ICS, certainly for devices released with ICS from the start. A quick search will turn up discussions of this for many devices from the last couple of years.

As I'm running an old device the news had passed me by for a long time!
 
Hope he's right, but wonder whether he's actually tested it? The second method described is the old Froyo/Gingerbread fix for changing default install location, and if the OS no longer supports the option I can't imagine why that would work.

Don't have a suitable device to test this myself.

That is correct... I have a Chinese unmarked tablet that allows me to copy APPS to the SD card and they run without a problem.
I have removed the card just to confirm they are actually ON the card... and, yes, no problem.
Running ICS v4.0.3
 
Yes, as the OP said, and I agreed, that "plenty of apps can be moved".
In other words, not ALL apps can be moved!
However, all the apps I have downloaded have moved and worked without issue.
