how to move apps from my galaxy amp 2 to my sd card

[best comment]

i have this galaxy amp 2 from cricket and i am frustrated because my new 8 gb sd card i bought from cricket moves my apps but duplicates it some how and adds it for both my phone and sd card and well i don't know what to do. :/ plz help

Well, try to remember that the new "Internal" storage you created on the card is now the phones storage. Are you sure it is actually duplicating the apps? Or are you just seeing the names for the apps on the phone and card. Check the actual storage on the phone and on the card.

Also, you could try uninstalling the apps and then downloading them, which put them directly on the card.

Just remember, anything you put on that card now cannot be read by any other device. The SD card is now encoded to that phone.

I can't see why it is leaving a copy on the phone, however if you are able to download direct to the card, then you can avoid them being on the phone altogether

Well if the card has been turning into "Internal" storage, then you should get the option to choose where downloads are saved.

Alright I had rooted my phone and downloaded a app moving app and well the app went into the card but the cache stayed on the phone

When it comes to how things work after rooting a phone, I am not the one to ask. Rooting, not my thing. However you can get lots of help with rooted devices in the "Rooting, Jailbreaking & Unlocking" Forum. http://www.tomsguide.com/forum/forum-117.html

That link doesn't help because the menus do not look like that.

I am having the same issue. I move the app manually to the sd card and when it updates it goes right back to the device memory. Grrr!
