Why won't apps download on my microSD?

[DontEvenAskMeMyUsername]

So, I have this android phone and it doesn't have enough storage for my apps. I decided to buy a 16GB microSD to replace my old 4GB microSD. I copied everything from the 4GB microSD to the 16GB microSD card. I went to the application manager in settings and it still said the same thing for the storage available for my apps. How do I get the apps to download my microSD? I just spent a lot of money for this on eBay and it did absolutely NOTHING.

Yes, because you have to click on "Create Link"to move the whole app. Move to SD is another thing and as you said it moves only few MBs. It's possible on all androids.

it's not possible on new android devices .. all this move to sd crap is not right .. it used to happen before when i had samsung galaxy mini way long time ago and it didn't even copy the whole app it just copied 6 MB of the 30 MB app ... it sounds weird i know
