Has anyone noticed how the last few versions of android have stopped you transferring app storage to micro sd card memory ? This limits your app storage depending what internal storage your phone has so buy a phone with as big internal storage you can afford !

    But there are apps out there that will transfer them for you.

    So not a total loss. And when the phones come with 16 or 32GB of internal storage its not that big a deal.

    I thought the same. Cannot install apps on SD card maybe an issue. But it has not been a problem.

    Why do we need 32GB on a phone? The hard drive on my 1st PC was only 2GB.

    Then i downloaded Real Racing 3 on my Galaxy S4. Initial download was something like 40mb. Running the game for the 1st time required a download of 980MB...
    Almost 1gig for a game on a phone...

    Its done several updates since installing few hundred MB each also. Simpsons tapped out is similar. Started off at 109mb. Then had a 90mb update. Its upto 480mb last time i played it.
