SD CARD

I have a feeling that this will be a stupid question. But how do I move apps to my external SD. App to SD does not work. Cwm does not show external SD. I'm lost

Well there technically is no reason for Android to move apps to sd because we have so much internal memory, try moving all the media files you have to sd.....

I don't think that's the technical answer. They took that feature out in 4.0, but if you search around you'll find workarounds if you really really want it

Well the internal has told me that I'm running out of space

Check out directory bind

[Q] App 2 SD not being supported by SGN2 ?

It seems the App 2 SD option isn't being supported by the current build of SGN2.
There is no such option in the Application info screen or when you run the App2SD app, it says this is not supported.
Weird. Anyone has a solution to this?

You don't need the App2SD-app anymore: the whole internal memory is used for storing apps!

Agree, bu5 they did miss a trick by not keeping Apps2SD for use with the MicroSD.

Use "directory bind" to put games on micro sd.
No need for app2sd

It's still nice to use the applet to clean out cache

Note 2 internal memory

Can someone do me a favour a and check their total internal memory. Mine is at 10.36gb. Is this not too small? I wasn't expecting the full 16gb, but even so...

Yes its only 10.36 GB free. Probably the remaining is used by Samsung pre-installed apps etc.

Cheers. Oh well. Spotify better hurry up and allow moving to external sd!

Do a search for the old spotify apk, it lets you choose external. You uninstall spotify, install the old one and choose external storage (download a song to confirm its on ext), then upgrade to the current version and it will keep external as your storage location.

Thanks for saying what the memory is. Just proves to me that I need one with more memory.
Hurry up Samsung and release the larger versions.

Storage issue

Why is my 16 gb T-mobile Note 2 only showing 10 gb? Did i get a defective device, or does this particullar device use 6 gb for system? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Quite a bit is used for the system, and is normal (unfortunately)

Thanks for your help! But it really sucks that I only have 10 GB of storage left and most of that is being used on apps

You can always buy an sd card, you can add 64gb. At least we have an option to add an sd card. If you need more space there's options.

And if you get a usb OTG cable, you can add a flash drive to add even more storage! I got a 64gb card in the phone and another 64gb flash drive which I've loaded with music and videos.

I was looking for an easy way to do this because I am lazy. Saw scripts and stuff but that seemed like work.I tried this, but I am not certain it works, at least not well. I ran it, and it says it ran successfully, but the device memory didn't change at all. Same amount taken up by applications, same available space over all.
However, I did try to move the apps back and forth again to test this, so maybe it moved once, but then refused to move any more. Not sure...

Do I have to have a rooted phone in order to move stuff to my sd card? This is insane that u can't move apps or music to an sd card. WHY would Samsung do that?

I have the paid version, and every time I move a app to SD card it never works.

They are probably not transferring because they don't run properly from the external sd. There's plenty of room for apps in the internal.

[Q] sd card help please

I rooted my s4 but I have no clue how to move anything to the micro sd card its 32 gigs class 4 I bought music from the playstore and some apps and just want to move it to the sd. This is my first android I had ipod/iphones before this

Welcome to Android
First off, congrats on the switch to Android. I personally believe you won't want to go back to iPhone. With that said, I don't have my S4 yet, but if it's anything like other Androids, you can use a file app (I use Astro) and move any files back and forward as you see fit. You can also mount the phone to a PC and move it that way or put the SD card itself in the PC. If your filling up the whole 32GB or a lot of data, the fastest would probly be mounting the SD card itself into the PC.
Hope this helps, but then again.... I'm still waiting for the S4 to release in my area.

I found a way to move the music to sd card just not apps I think they made it harder to move because no apps I download do it but ill try astro. Ipod/iphone jailbreaking is simpler lol.

Not if you plan to install games.
I have a 32gb iPhone 5 and have at least 17gbs in games alone.
I'm also looking for a way to install apps on the SD card.
I haven't open my GS4 yet so I can return it incase we can't.
600+ for a 9GB is a not good.

@@@use " link2sd " application...download from play store...its not only let u too move apps to sd...and u can also uninstall unwanted system apps if u [email protected]@@
