Cant move apps to SD card - Xperia ZR

Whats the use of 2GB RAM, 1.5 GHz CPU or Adreno320 without (enough space in ph mem or atleast) the option to move apps to SD card?? Out of 8GB ph mem, jus 4.5 culd be used, which culd be easily filled jus by installing a couple of HD games..

Needless to say, all the top HD games n offline maps out thr r in GBs. Really fed up searching for options to free up the space in my ZR wenevr i need to install a new app!!
I dont want to mess up my phone by rooting so expecting a s/w update for months to fix this. but really got pissed off (a lot more than i got when i did the prev s/w update month back) after installing the latest update yestrday (4.3 JB, Build-10.4.1.B.0.101) which didnt include the app2SD option as before. Its a freaking deja vu all over again!!
Looks like Sony doesnt bother about fixing tis stupid limitation. Incredible ph with the most annoying problem, reason why ppl hesitate to buy tis, even few of my frnds!!

Contact xperia care,asking them about this.As phone internal memories grew bigger,the developers have no need of making this possible.

Root your phone if you do not care about warranty and install Titanium Backup to push apps to the SD card from the phone memory. Else, there are many apps that we install, but after few weeks find that the usage pattern has been so low, it may just justify removing them. Case in point the real huge games. After the novelty wears off, it is time to remove and move on.

Why the feature of installing apps in sd card is not available ZR, i found that it is available in C, why not in ZR. This limitation is not helping us to utilise the phone for what it is capable for, please find a solution for this.

The funniest part is that they are providing this feature on Low end phones Like Xperia M but not to the topline Z series, No wonder sony Mobile is making loss like anything which was supposed to be a profiable wing. We pay money to Sony to buy a mobile phone to use it according to them. Face_with_Steam_from_Nose

it would be great if Sony can make this happen...  in my old samsung galaxy Y, I was able to install apps2SD, which helped me maximize the use of that little phone.  the ZR is so much more powerful, and it would be great if we could maximize it to that extent as well.

Sony, you would do us and yourselves a real service if you opened this up.  You'd make a lot of people really happy to have an Xperia ZR phone.

When is the next update that has the option to move apps to sd card? Please sony developers. We don't want to root our phones. But we really need this options badly. Sony xperia zr is great though. But the full potential of it can't be use. Please help us.

Just root the phone and be happy ..

Rooting does not void your warranty ... Rooting takes arnd 5mins and then you can acess anything on your phone

Thik guys
