Galaxy Note PhonesWhy would the Microsoft Excel app be on my SD card and no other Microsoft Office apps? Can't move it to internal storage.

Galaxy Note PhonesThis may explain why it's getting installed to the SD card:
- with SD formatted as internal storage, an application manifest value (metadata packaged with an app) controls where the app will be installed. If the value is missing, it goes to phone storage and can't be moved. If the value is 'auto', it goes to phone storage if there's room enough, otherwise SD, and it can be moved. If it's 'preferExternal' it goes to SD if there's room enough there. It should still be possible to change the storage location and move to internal though. So I can't explain it if that's not working.

Galaxy Note PhonesIt went back onto my SD card. Should I remove the SD card after uninstalling, reinstall, then put my SD card back in?

Galaxy Note PhonesAs suspected, that was the only way to get it to internal storage. Strange. Thanks for the input.
