Can any one suggest, how to install/move app to external sd on micromax fun book (android ICS). When clicking on "move to sd" from settings/app, it is moving app to internal sd only and not to external SD. Please help.

I m using this this app without any problem. Its free. You have to manuallymove your installed apps form Tablet To SD. If you can afford go for Paid version. It will do this automatically.

Say Thanks if this helps you by any means. :)

App 2 SD streamlines the movement of applications to on your device's external or internal storage through your device's Settings. With this handy app, you'll have more control over your ever expanding collection of apps. This app is crucial to anyone who has memory management issues.

For those who are confortablw irh ADB then can set default location for installation as SD card.

1) ADB shell pm get-install-location

This will give current install location.

Output will be like this..
0 [auto]: Let the phone decide the best location for an app
1 [internal]: It installs everything in the internal storage
2 [external]: It installs everything in the memory card

2) Now type following command..

ADB shell pm set-install-location 2

Now ur default location will be memory card.


Please check whether it is external SD card or not. I m not sure again. Sorry :)

Then u dont have to set /or move applicaion every time
