    Hello
    I find I can move apps and files more easily with my file manager than with the app manager.
    The app manager moved one app as the rest have the "move to SD card" grayed out.
    With the file manager I can import favs and move almost everything to the SD card if I wish.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Also I used CM cleaner and 360 before but now only clear data and close all when not using.
    Please comment.

    Moving an app manually to the sd card does not actually let you run it from there.

    I found out the hard way.
    Do you use app manager od file manager?

    You have to use the built-in method of moving it to sd via settings > applications.

    Not all apps can run from sd.

    >>I was improperly advised in the Galaxy forum and by a mod there.
    They said to use the file manager besides the application manager>"send to"

    I am glad you corrected me so I do not damage the device.

    You won't damage it, it would just require you to reinstall the apps.

    Every day a new idea comes to mind.
    I am now using One Drive with MS Office Mobile -it works so much better than other programs like Polaris.
    I also have always had trouble with Android so avoid Drive. I tried and tried but found it awkward as opposed to MS Files and folders.
    I am slowly but surely finding out where to put items and how to maneuver. I want to maximize the device without damaging it. It does so much more than calling and texting.
    Thank you for your support.

    I know I am vacillating but office with OneDrive is actually no different than Drive with Docs so I am back to having to adjust to the Android way of thinking.
