It doest work and any other apps which says it will bring "move to SD" also dont work.

Yes I do go to setting and than application and than application details.. There is no such move to sd button.

Directory bind also not working..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jed Dignazio:
What size sd card did you put in??
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RakeshRaja:
64GB.. I don't think small will work too.. As I am seeing such problem with other users and even with S 3 users too..

Any solution for this?

I have tried 8GB card too still not working.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jed Dignazio:
Well the more I read the more I see others having the same issue and may be a Jelly Bean issue.

"The ability is taken out in devices launched with ICS/JB, devices updated to ICS/JB still have the ability to move apps to SD it seems"

I think you can still do it if your rooted though with Link2SD . Anybody else care to chime in??

May make me change my mind about the 16GB version.

BUT, I am pretty sure 16 GB is plenty of internal space for apps!

No way

After trading-in a Note I in exchange for a Note II, I had to return my Note II to the store, and did the same a week later with my S III.

I see no point at all having a device that just a week after purchase showed the message: "not enough memory to update your apps".

After lots of reading and asking the techs from the store, I found there is no solution, since this is currently a Samsung desition to block this option completely out on their new models, furthermore, they even say it has been done on Google's request.

So wellcome back my HD2.

It's a shame, i'll stay away from Samsung products as far as I can.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjamin84:
Well so far there's a solution which I've found. Swapping your ExtSD with the phone.

**Note that this will only work with TouchWiz-based roms.

1. Your MicroSD should be formatted before this is done.

2. Download the app2sd script from: downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote2/app2sdNote2

3. Install and open Script Manager. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9zLnRvb2xzLnNjcmlwdG1hbmFnZXIiXQ

4. In the Script Manager app, go to the app2sd script and check on enable "SU" and "Boot".

5. Reboot and you should see you ExtSD as internal storage (64gb) and internal storage is now ExtSD.

Moving apps on galaxy note 2 -a bit of hope

Hi guys i got this reply from samsung on this issue

Thank you for contacting Samsung about moving Apps to your SD card. I'm sorry you are having this issue and I can understand this can be frustrating.

You can manage application storage by going to Settings > Applications > Application management and selecting the desired app. If the app can be transferred to the memory card, it will give you the option to do so in this menu. Please note that not all devices support apps being moved to the memory card.

There may be third party apps available that can assist the transfer of apps to the external memory card, however we cannot recommend any in particular and this function may not be available on some devices.

If you require any further assistance, please contact Samsung again and we will be more than happy to help.

Kind regards

Daniel

What a BLOODY STUPID answer from a tech guy!!! He just went round in circles trying to say "you're not allowed"
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoC1909:
Uh...then I guess we are reading two completely different things....or you are not able to comprehend what was written. If anything, this guy gave a great answer without actually coming over to your house and moving your "allowable" apps to sd, or installing a 3rd party app that will allow this. If this guy didn't want you to do this, he would have said that this is not allowed and left it at that.

Fact is, apps need to have this option built in to them in order to move them using the method he described.

Settings > Applications > Application management and selecting the desired app

And the reason he didn't name any programs, was most likely those programs need root access, and that is something not many manufacturers want you to do.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohJee:
It was a dumb answer, because note 2 doesn't allow you to move any apps to sd card, whether the app allows it or not.

Two workarounds around this problem is 1) use directory bind 2) use a a mod that switches the internal sd card with the external.

I use directory bind and its great. I dont know why people are such big pusses about rooting there phones either.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geovas77:
Directory bind works a treat for those huge games or your camera, just takes a few minutes to root your phone and setup the paths you want directory bind to swap and it will even move the files over to the new path.

There's also ways to permanently swap your sd to internal. Just get an 64 gb iphone if you really plan to take the note 2 back for not being able to figure this out.

What planet are you on? Just because someone doesn't want to have to do some ridiculous procedure to move everything to their SD doesn't mean we should go and buy an apple. If I root the phone then some apps like my banking one stop working.

I want to be able to leave most of my apps on my phone but move spotify which is 5 gig of downloaded encrypted music to my SD. It worked fine on my Note and it was easy now I have a note 2 any solution smart arse? :rolleyes:

Titanium Backup

After installing Titanium Backup in my SG N2 .... its showing the error "Root access: Failed"

Please help..... I want to move all the heavy files to SD Card
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frogwise:
possible workaround?

Total noob, first post, please assume serious ignorance. Wondering if this strategy might work, though admittedly cumbersome and inelegant. (1) Uninstall apps you want to move to sd card from GN2. (2) Install GN2 sd card (temporarily) in older device running gingerbread or earlier. (3) Download apps in question on old device and transfer to sd card using app2sd. (4) Replace sd card in GN2. Will the transferred apps show up and work? I know rooting is preferred and way less clunky but wonder if this might still be a solution for the inexperienced user.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewMC:
Hi all,

I know some of these suggestions have already been made but as some people are starting to become irritated and not being so nice I thought I would outline some of the things I have done to save my 16GB of internal storage.

*This is a Samsung programming error and not a user error, there are plenty of apps that can be moved to SD on one device but not on a Samsung device. That is because Samsung has named the internal storage "SDCard." You have to navigate to /storage/extsdcard to see your actual microSD that you have installed. Stop being rude to each other, it's not necessarily the user's fault if they are just beginning their search for answers or are new to Android.

There are several options to transfer your data and make your microSD usable and not just a storage device you must navigate to.

1) GL to SD (Root required) - This not only moves your game data for Gameloft games but does detect other large data folders and moves them as well. Keep in mind that you have to go into this program and open the game/software from within using the "open" button, otherwise whatever game you are trying to play with download the data to your internal memory again.

2) Directory Bind (Does not require root for all folders) - This works good for large folders, i.e. - cloudagent, EA game folders not detected by GL to SD. On my GN2 it works good, binds at startup, but if I open the program it does not list what is actively bound. I don't worry about that because it seems to be working fine. When I first started using this it seemed backwards to me, the "source (data) path" is actually the path where you want to move items to. "Mount (target) path" is where they are existing, growing up with windows this seems like it is worded backwards so I have to remember this when I bind a new folder.

3) Apps2SD Script (Root required) - I have not personally used this but there are many users who have had great success with this method. This virtually swaps your internal "sdcard" directory with the "extsdcard" directory and once you have installed the script your "extsdcard" will actually be your internal memory.

There are numerous XDA threads and options available to overcome this issue (unfortunately most require root) and there are also plenty of YouTube video guides and 4.4M Google returns for a search regarding this. If you are still looking for answers try one of these proven methods. For those of you with a little more experience, BE NICE! If you are only going to respond to a thread to degrade or put someone down you need to not respond at all. You & I were noobs once and your post count means nothing to most of us!

My quick-dirty-NOT-cheap solution after -once again- my HD2 screen broke?

I just bought a 64 Gb Special Black Edition Galaxy S-III.

Since Microsoft, imho, drop the ball with the "Windows phone" thing, and IOS is not the way for me, I'm somehow forced to Android. And, should I recognize, Samsung leads the market right now.

At least some APPS and their files -TomTom and Sygic being my main concerns- can NOW be installed in the Ext SD card. No more "out of memory" messages.

Maybe it was the path Samsung designed from the beginning: to force custommers to upgrade their devices at shorter times.

Regards.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albinoni:
Hang on what makes you think this is Samsungs fault, sorry but I think your wrong here, Samsung are actually manufacturing the hardware device to run Android which is the software on it apart from that they have also allowed for a MicroSD card slot in their Galaxy Phone (probably not all but most), I think this has got to do more with an issue with Google/Android and not Samsung itself.

I am having exactly the same problem on my Galaxy Note II and yes it blumen frustrating, but like I said I am 100% sure this is a Google/Android fault

I also read somewhere where it was to protect the developers of the software, and I am looking at it this way. Assume someone goes to the Playstore and buys Swiftkey say for $0.90, they install it on their phone and transfer it to the MicroSD card, once it's on the card they can simply take the card out and assume this person has friends with over 20 Android phone, simply stick the SD card in their phones and install Swiftkey one by one in their phones, this would mean a massive loss in revenue to Swiftkey assume there were thousands of Android users accross the world doing this.
