So I have a shield tablet and I like it and I put lots of games on it. internal memory is 16gb but I bough a big SD card but it still shows me I'm out of memory when I was going to download this game. I move all the apps I can to the SD card is there a way to use the SD card more and less of the internal memory as of now I am just deleting games but eventually I will have to re download and I don't want to. Any explanation would be appreciated.

Recently android is getting more & more unfriendly towards SD cards. But if you have root then their are workarounds.
I use an app called foldermount for big games just find the folder in the android, then obb folders (usually is where big games go) and the app will mount it to your sdcard. This works with KOTR and oddworld stranger's wrath. You might need to reboot your tablet for the games to work.

Thanks so much for the help. So you are saying I need to root the device. Then get that folder mount program? That sounds easy enough. Thanks for the advice.
