hey guys could someone help me out on this ..The move to SD card option brought out after the kitkat update for our phone somehow doesnt work for me .. instead of moving the app data to external sd card , it moves to the internal sd ..
example i downloaded the game fifa 2014 which is like 1.3gb ..when i say move to sd card the internal sd card almost gets full with and only a very small amount of data say 100 mb goes to the external sd .. same with minion rush too.. is this the way it works ?

Kitkat have remove the privilege to save data to sd card, to make it work you need root...and install an app called sd card fix....

Same problem with me bro, after turning off the phone and switching it on again, many of the app shortcuts disappear from the home screens. Is there a solution to this?

The problem is due to move to sd option - when you move apps to SD card using move to SD option what is happening is only some part of app is moved to external SD card and some part remains in the internal memory...so when you switch off your mobile the external sd card automatically gets unmounted & all the apps which has link to it gets broken & shortcuts gets deleted. when you switch on your phone the external sd card gets mounted & you can find all your apps in the main apps section but the shortcuts no longer appear & you have to again create them.:crying:

Its because the app are in SDcard not in internal...so as your phone remove the sdcard then the app is gone..

I know...next sd card...it only helps with write permission on micro sd card but doesn't solve moving apps problem... The prob still exits..even when you click on move to sd the app is not transferred to external card..internal memory is filled
