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.

how can i install asphalt 8 game  on xperia e3 dual? it has very less internal storage.

is there any way to install it on sd card? i think its not but if i root the phone, although resulting in loss of warranty, is it possible to install it on sd card?

i also downloaded game data and apk file from 3rd party and tried to install it by pasting it  in obb folder blah blah... installed it.... opened the game and the heck....PERSISTS. it started to download game data and result.... insufficient storage....

the most pathetic phone ever made by sony.... considering the internal storage.

and its only an example of a good and big game.. there are many more, including apps also.

All customers facing the same problem. Sony should work on that because no point of choosing Sony mobile with these issues atleast Sony shouldo initiate with an app especially for such cases.because all the customers are unhappy because limited apps.so please do the needful and make Sony customers happy.

Thanks and eagerly waiting for customer support.

I too am having trouble with this.  I have purchased a sd card as I have loads of music on my old handset and can't seem to be able to move this onto the sony.

Why have the option of additional space you can't move things onto it, or I am just being a fool and can't work out where to change the settings so that I can save atleast something onto the sd card - any help would be much appreciated. thanks

What's the point in buying an android phone if you can't even install apps on it. always short of memory despite 32gb sd card is always empty. Feels like being fooled by the makers.they lied to consumers to sell their dummy products I'll be going back to windows mobile asap.. I hate this useless garbage bloatware.

Is this phone really capable of providing 32gb storage capacity as it printed on manufacturer's paperwork. Seen no evidence yet! I used to have a windows cellphone 6 years ago and it was capable of installing %99 of system applications on a sd card. I think android is a joke.

It will handle a 32gb SD card but this is for use in storing Music and Videos etc - Not for apps unless your device has the ability to transfer apps to SD

How can you say 'it's not a Sony issue!' this is a Sony phone and Sony must deal with this problem. If this was a a Microsoft product they would immediately solve it with a hot fix. You just can't let your customers to struggle with technical issues if you are a trustable global brand.
