Nope. You cannot move it later on. But you can configure it to save/download/install on SD card by default.

Search "default location" in settings. Set it to SD card.

After that, most of the stuff will save/download/install into SD card automatically, but as per Android system policy, some of the app data will be stored in internal storage as required.

Its configured as default storage but no app is being transferred new or old or already installed to sd card however my all pics are stored in sd card but no app at all. Any tool or gadget to do so? Thanks for prompt reply.

Then you have nothing to worry about. It's doing alright, the way it's programmed to be as per Android policies. There is no other easy (non root) way.

Most Androids cannot move/install apps fully to SD card. It's always partial move, no matter which set you try.

Have a look at this.

Main app - 37 mb (stored in internal storage)
App data - 135mb (stored in SD card)

In case of a game, it will take ~100-200 mbs maximum as main app (internal storage), and rest app data (significantly larger) will be stored in SD card.

All your downloads, torrenting etc will go to SD card (provided you set save location to SD card), because Samsung Galaxies cannot even download or do torrenting directly on SD card.

For the sake of knowledge, only windows phones i have seen can fully move or install apps to SD cards.

[s15]

Even if default storage is set to SD card, there is always some partial main app data that stores in internal storage > Android.

There is always partial move, even if there is move to SD card option in phone.

There's a whatsapp group of our office's officers and i'm member of that group. One of my colleagues sent nudes there by mistake. I checked that and was shocked that he shared it in that group. I was about to tell my friend on whatsapp that that guy is screwed. and i sent the msg "mooda ch*d gya" in that same group ::facepalm::

OK bros very sad news
My Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 started giving strange problem actually as per my analysis I bought a very tight and thick casing for my mobile and I kept in my upper pocket in a heated environment with no signals in that area
I think as it kept on searching network and due tight casing initially its capacitive buttons automatically started pressing and then they are completely dead
Then I enabled on screen soft keys using build prop editing but now once I switch on mobile data after some time same problem of navigation keys automatic pressing starts happening and I cannot do anything else
May be it used to heat up on mobile data previously as well but now I am feeling more as I am more conscious about the issue
So please suggest me whether changing screen and digitizer will solve this problem or it is something else???

And how much will nexus 5X 16gb 4-5 months used with some extra goodies should cost ? Is it a good option if my Redmi problem doesn't solve?

There's no LTE, or at least there wasn't any LTE back in the summers. Solid 3G connectivity though.
BTW, there a 3G/4G Discussion thread as well.

If capacitive buttons are automatically working without pressing, then it's not digitizer or touch issue.

There is some current leak or short circuit (due to poor insulation most probably) near the logic board area that controls the capacitive keys and similar stuff, and that is causing capacitance, making capacitive keys work automatically.

I don't think it has anything to do with protective case or something with poor network connectivity.

Hahaha, don't worry. I just posted it to annoy Apple fans and you got trapped in my plot.

iPhones being closed source are indeed more secure, but to be honest, nothing is absolutely secure on internet.

Everything has vulnerabilities and weak spots, no matter whatever is done, there is always some loopholes left, because it's practically impossible to make something perfect.

The guy is not a hacker, he is an Apple fan with more than 2.5 million subscribers, but he is one of the least biased Apple fans, because he points out good and bad stuff about Apple products equally and fairly, unlike most YouTube Apple fans who believe there is nothing better than Apple products in this world.

Good to see you back too.

Not into rooting at all these days, so no idea about any latest working methods. This issue of corrupt EFS is common with custom ROMs, so you should not be surprised at this.

You can try to restore any previous backup of EFS, which should fix the issue.

But @ihpwf12 aka (iHPWF12) will surely know some more ways to restore IMEI.

Did you made backup of your EFS? If not then I'm afraid your phone Imei is gone.

Flash back to stock ROM. Don't boot it yet.
Extract the modem.bin file from the ROM and flash it TWICE using Odin. Then go into recovery and wipe data and reboot the phone, if the IMEI is back, well and good, if not, well then you're screwed.

The problem is, re-writing the IMEI on an Exynos device isn't as easy as it is on a Snapdragon device. You need specific tools, which cost a lot and not everyone has.

Get your IMEI from Google Dashboard and go to a software shop and tell them to re-write it. Should cost about 500 - 1000 rs.
