Backup a Game to Reinstall Later

Hello and welcome to the forums Jonathan - thanks for joining!

It is usually possible to move apps to SD card when rooted, although rooting a phone voids the warranty... if you wanted to go down this route, I am sure that our members would be able to help you out.

You wouldn't HAVE to root though... when you purchase a game from the Play Store, it will be saved to your Google account.

If you go to the store and press "menu=>my apps" it will then display a list of apps you have installed and, when you swipe to the right, it should show all apps you have ever installed. This includes any free apps you have installed I am pretty sure that any game data would be lost, but you wouldn't have to pay for it again

 

No problem

As I said, it is possible to get a game you've already bought back on your device by going to "my apps" on your phone when in the Play Store.

If you head here - Android Phones - Android Forums - and scroll down until you find your phone's name, you will be able to get to the sub-forum for your device. In there you can connect with other users of the same phone, who would be able to give you tips, tricks, hints and advice on how to get the most out of your new phone

you most likely wont be able to keep save data without root, depending on your game. nearly every game that has SD data is set to read it from internal memory, so that kinda goes out the window. I bought a 32gb Sd for games and found this out the hard way. now I just keep everything but large games on it.
