[QUOTE="BryceS, post: 69946, member: 1283"] [b]Move to SD Card - Part II - Overtaken by events[/b] There was a discussion last year about enabling move to SD card, which was implemented and worked very well. I've just picked up a Galaxy S4, and while generally very good, it does raise a new issue. The current version of Android has removed the ability to move to SD card. This means that applications are limited to the internal storage, which is only 16Gb in the launch model. However there is nothing stopping a developer from allowing the user to select where application data is stored from within the app itself. For example the Audible app allows the user to select where downloaded audiobooks need to be stored. Unfortunately due to this bizarre decision by Google, all Android developers of applications with large amounts of downloadable data need to be adding a similar option to their apps. Are there any plans to add a 'table download location' option to Pinball Arcade? For info, the SD Card on the Galaxy S4 is mounted at /storage/extSdCard. From reading various threads, I understand that this was also an issue on the Note 2. Has anybody discovered a workaround for Pinball Arcade, or indeed any other app? Haven't had much time to play with the S4 yet, but the first couple of tables I tried looked pretty good on the 5" screen! [/QUOTE]
