Android 4.4 on Xperia E1 : App2SD not working

Hi !

I can't move apps to my sd card on my xperia E1, even with the KitKat 4.4 update.

When I go in settings then apps, on the bottom of the "On Sd card" list, the blue bar show me the storage state of the internal memory, not the sd card. And if I move an app by choosing "move to sd", after rebooting the app disapear of my phone (but still take some place on the internal memory I think but not sure)

Any idea/solution ?

Thank you Slightly_smiling_Face

ps: sorry for my english I'm french

Perfect reason why Google removed this feature - Not all apps will continue to work even if transfered to SD because the app will not have been designed to read data from two locations

So I suppose I can only move apps who have sd card access permission ?

Not really - Apps with this permission maybe able to save information to SD but not read from it

If you do a Google search for google removes apps to sd then you'll see a lots of information why - This is about the best answer I can give without copying things from them
