Why is virgin mobiles signal strength so much weaker than sprint?

Q. I had sprint for two years. I had the photon 4g. I decided to switch to virgin because it's running off sprint towers and is much cheaper. With the photon i had decent service and got a strong 4g signal at my job and home, I always had many bars. When I went to virgin I bought their flagship Samsung galaxy victory 4g lte and expected signal strength to be the same since its running off the same service. That's not the case. I don't get a good signal at my home (which is where I had the absolute best signal) and at work. What's up with that? Is virgin limited or something? There is a sprint tower literally down the street from my home and i barely get a bar.

A. There's many factors to consider. I understand you had Sprint with another phone, but regardless Virgin Mobile using Sprint's cell towers, quality differs with different cellphones. Also its not a direct access to the network since its not Sprint itself. There will a slight network strength loss. What makes more of a difference is the cellphone. I saw the same situation between T-Mobile & Simple Mobile, Simple runs thru TMO's network. But once again what makes the difference is the device.
(& platforms- Android 1.5 (Donut),1.6 (Eclair), 2.1, 2.2(Froyo), 2.3.4, 2.3.5. 2.3.6, 2.3.7(Gingerbread), 3.0, 3.1 (Honeycomb), 4.0.1, 4.0.4 (Ice cream Sandwich, 4.1.0. 4.2.1(Jellybean) <--Different versions means different radios. Radios also determine network strength.

Original Question

How do I move apps to my SD card?
Q. I've had my phone for almost a year now. I just got a 32gb SD card because face it, what am I going to do with 2gb? Anyway, as it turns out, it doesn't look like I can easily move apps to the SD card. Even though I don't plan on downloading many apps, I'd still like to the option to store them on the SD card just in case I ever do fill up the internal storage (which is likely since half of it if filled with junk I'll never use but can't delete.). I'd prefer to NOT have to download some sort of 3rd party app to do this. Oh and it's a Samsung Galaxy Victory running Android 4.1.2 if that helps.

Any and all help is appreciated.

A. You need to install app further in sd card.

Original Question

Pandora will not play in rear speakers only front?
Q. Just bought a new Samsung Galaxy Victory 4 G phone and a Kenwood KDC 652u deck. I have the blue tooth running from the phone to the deck and the deck is Pandoa compatible . The deck will play cd's and radio in all 4 speakers but once Pandora is played it will only play in the two front speakers . Ill fade the speakers to the rear while Pandora is being played and no sound at all. So I dont know whats up any help?

A. If you play an MP3 song on your phone and transmit to the Kenwood via Bluetooth, do the rear speakers play?
