Hi, does anyone know how to transfer apps to sd card, I can transfer music,photos and videos to sd card but I can not see any option for transferring apps to sd card, I have a 32 sd card in my z but i'm running out of internal storage as I like to download games

I'm running Android 4.2 and I was always able to transfer apps with my old xperia s

Because you can't move apps to the SD card if your phone is running Jelly Bean unless you root your phone. It isn't a Sony problem, it's an Android problem.

But should I really need an app to do it? Why can't I just go to the app settings and move to sd like I could before?

This very problem is one of the things that annoys me with Android & also the app market.

 

I ended up rooting my Xperia Arc S to get Superuser access & then installing Titanium Backup so I could move app's to the sd card & also remove the preinstalled bloatware from the phone.

 

Some app's do need to stay in the internal phone memory to run correctly but most can be moved safely to the sd card.

If you Google the problem there are ways around it, but if you're not very tech savvy it can be dangerous.
