SD card?

I did not know what forum to put this under? I just downloaded a pretty big file and it will not move over to my SD card. And I did not realize how much space TSTO takes up. I have it in internal storage. Thinking that would be best for updates e.t.c. Long story does anyone have the game on a SD card? And if so have you had any problems?
  • I have it on a SD card on my phone and it works fine....but on my tablet I have to keep it on internal storage because it won't load for some reason when I move it over to the SD card. Been like that for years, not sure why it does that.
  • Thanks that helps a lot cause it is on my tablet. New Amazon Fire 7 the file in question Google Play. I did the You Tube hack that shows you how to have GP on Amazon. But it takes up a lot of space. But since then it wont let me on TSTO so right now I am deleting Google.
  • Isn't the game available for Amazon through their normal app store? I don't think you need to install the Google play store to download it. I did the opposite of you. I have Amazon Underground on my Samsung tablet in case I ever wanted to install games from Amazon that happen to be free there and cost money through Google. :D
  • Yeah you can download it from their app store. Which I did and that's what I have been playing through. I wanted and needed Google Play for a lot of stores,restaurants and Starbucks which we dont even have one here but still :s But one main reason one of hospitals I go to WVU Eye (Morgantown WV) there "My Chart" were they send all of your info to you is through Google Play only. Which I can get on my cell but it's only 4.5 inch screen so have to wait till get home to read it on the computer. But thankfully wont be going there for awhile and your right with Amazon's games I actually like them a lot more.
  • I play on a kindle and the game is on an SD card. When I first put the card in, I set the game to move to card, uninstalled and then reinstalled. Works fine now. Also have app from Amazon's store (not google). Hope this helps

  • That sounds awesome I'm just one of those people afraid I'll screw something up with uninstalling it then reinstall. My luck I would probably get it back but the reinstall would be a WHOLE NEW GAME?! Does not mean that I'm not tempted.
  • I've selected "move to sd card" in my installed app list for anything that offers the option. but idk if it moves the whole app or just a portion of its files. I'm out of room to install anything else now.

    As long as you have an Origin ID you can delete. When you download again your game info comes from the servers. It's kinda like when you get a new phone or tablet and download the app and all of your progress shows up because it's linked to whatever ID you log in with.
  • I was thinking that way. Cause I downloaded the game off of the Amazon store as soon as I got it. And all I had to do was put in my Origin ID. Now Google would pop up a couple of times a day at first saying how I missed stuff cause I had not played for awhile :D The one thing that got me thinking, I installed the SD card before I downloaded the game. I just choose not to put it on the card cause I wondered if being on a card instead would slow down or keep from getting updates...e.t.c?
    By the way thanks for the lawyers you just gave me. I just got Cletus and have him on the 8hr task right now. I was afraid from the beginning of this ACT I would not finish. Its the only one since I started playing the game thats hated me :'(
    I would and still probably tap 20 fans and maybe get 3 summons. Most of all though, were and everyone OK through Harvey. I'm sure you probably posted it on the forum I just missed it. I thought about you guys every time the weather/news was on.
  • I don't think it would interfere with updates. They too come from the servers. I didn't realize I had it downloaded to my phone. I'm going to move it to the SD card tomorrow and free up that 1.58Gb. Which, I will probably fill with pictures of food and my dogs. :p

    You're welcome. I was worried when I saw that it was 146k but I finished the prize track a few hours ago. I put Lisa on The Eliminator and everyone that can is performing for bonuts. I wasn't a big fan of this event. I am glad we got 3 playable characters though, and one of them is Alaska Nebraska. Most of the other prizes were pretty lame, imo. Getting Disco Stu with a rebate was the highlight of the event for me. I've wanted him for so long and could finally afford to get him.
    I got six new characters and will pick up LT Smash tomorrow. Altogether, 7 new characters. Not too shabby!

    We made it through Harvey virtually unscathed, but we know a lot of people that lost everything. Thanks for asking. :)
