Xperia E3 - Not able to move apps from internal memory to SD card.

Hi, I am unable to my apps from internal memory to SD card in my xperia E3 dual. I can see memory size in SD card as 1.72GB in Settings>Apps. But i have inserted 16 GB memory card in my mobile. More than 3 GB is free space also available in my SD card. Pls suggest me some ideas to resolve this problem.

Sorry but this feature is not available as Google removed it in preparation for the new Android L - The only way known would be to root your device but in doing so any warranty you have could become void

You cannot move Google based apps and few others to SD card. But assuming you haven't tried it already, you can move other downloaded apps to SD card from Settings - Apps - Select the app and tap Move to SD card. This will not move the entire app to the SD card but a major portion of it.

I tried to move other apps which has given ' Move to SD card' option. But it is occupying space in the internal memory only. Also unable delete SD card contents with other file explorer apps like astro.

I will never be able to play games more than about 800 MB such as asphalt 8. What is the need of adreno 305 and quad core??????!!!! Very less internal space and no option to install on sd card.

How can I play games on Xperia E3 dual like asphalt 8 and other similar heavy games if there is so less internal storage. Any idea about how to install it on sd card. What is the need of quad core processor, adreno and 1 gb ram?

Hello folks, it my seem like a dumb question but I'm truly puzzled. I want to move my apps to my Sd but when I do this in the app settings, the phone says it has moves them but the available storage on the phone and sd remains the same.. Phone still complains about low space.. How do I move them completely!

Thanks in advance

It's not a Sony issue, Android doesn't support this feature anymore.
