ALRIGHTY! I've heard of many people having this issue and have a solution for my mom's tablet
Android 4.4 and up has the option for where you want to download to the SD Card. Below 4.4 however (as far as I know) does not. This iRulu (generic) tablet came with 8 GB internal storage which registers fine. The system automatically has a separate partition for the OS and built-in apps such as Google Search and Chrome.
The Google Play store uses the system partition as the default download, which we cannot find a way to change. So our temp fix was to download the file, then move it to the SD Card (We couldn't move it to the internal storage because the settings wouldn't read the 8 GB properly). Well now, with recent updates, the system partition is completely full so we are unable to download apps even though we have 8 GB internal and 8 GB SD card.
Now the problem has been explained, what I want to do is format the device fully, delete the partitions and manually put Android on it and be able to download to the the 8 GB by default.
I'm sort of new to Android but I'm experienced with Windows which I'm sure this will involve hooking it up to a computer. I hope someone can help me out! Thanks in advance.
