if you read the info for the program you are trying to use you would see it states it doesn't work with Samsung phones (specifically calls out the S3, which has alot in common with the Note II)
I'm surprised the Note doesn't have a native solution for moving apps to external storage? i could have sworn it's been a feature since ICS.... or maybe I'm forgetting something.

So is there any way currently to transfer apps to sd cards on a Samsung device?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

At the moment the only solution seems to be rooting. It's stopping me from buying the SGNII until larger internal memory released OR a non-root solution is found. Apparently, it's Jellybean that stops it not actually the phone - just what I've read.

Apps2sd card

So I can't get this to work. ... anyone know why? Something about storage emulator. ...
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I have to ask.. why? My GN2 shows that I have 9.3 GB free... I understand the need for this on the older devices like the OG EVO where int storage was scarce but on our kind of devices with so much memory... what is the point?
Really? It's pretty common knowledge that Google removed that functionality from Jelly Bean.

works great
i bought a 64gb class 10 sdcard and followed that video (can't put links yet) but someone posted the link in this thread and it's working great.
I did have some trouble moving the apps, but i am a noob with android, I just uninstalled it all and re-downloaded them on playstore (couldn't figureout titanium pro) it downloaded on the new 64gb, all the apps run great i didn't notice any lag at all, everything seems to be downloading to the 64gb I'm HAPPY!
Well I stand corrected.

I got a 64gig card as well, and really don't see the point using apps2sd anymore. 10gb free on the phone is a lot of apps, but I'm also a pretty light user compared to most.
Unfortunately, running you SD card as internal memory puts a tremendous amount of strain on the card. There's a high chance of corruption at some point in time, then you're screwed. I prefer something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp

If you pull the card will it automatically swap to internal?

This is the same old old old problem from the module called "MediaServer" , The service mediaserver (media scanner) can go infinite loop while scanning some wrong media files on your SD Card. High CPU causing very short battery life for other phone users. And nonstop sdcard operations can cause bad blocks. And the "wear leveling" will help to distribute the bad blocks randomly anywhere on your card and soon all files will mess up.
the walk around is, check all your media files on pc, or copy them back to your phone slowly, while monitoring if there is a hang.
it seems that android system developers maybe find it hard to duplicate the problem or something. its on the bugs list. No one have a fix so far.

Am I missing something?

I have come from an xperia play, I used to be able to move apps to SD on it when it was running gingerbread or ICS. I have searched and searched but I cant even find it mentioned anywhere that this is not possible on the note 2. Any ideas?
It was also possible to mount the SD card to my computer, through usb sort of like a memory stick. I seem to only be able to to do a slow media transfer now.
This is my first post so forgive me if I have done anything wrong or something considered noobish.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Moving apps to sd is possible when the app lets you do it, just see the details for each app on the app manager.
As for the usb/media mode, guess you can't really choose anymore, but check your cable, mine seems pretty fast to transfer files

I have the 16GB model and I must say it fills up pretty fast. I am using DirectoryBind and it is working great for me. It requires root access and one or two reboots but it's well worth it.
Another solution to the low internal memory is a mod called Ext2InternalSd which basically switches between your internal and external memory. I find it quiete extreme as a solution but that's just my opinion.
We are stuck with MTP mode now instead of USB mass storage.
Its not bad, but at least with UMS I could see the previews of my images when connected to my computer. With MTP I can't

[Q] Samsung App2SD Update???

Good day I'm planning to get a S4 Mini soon, likely the 3G version, but I don't want to root so I was wondering whether Samsung has added Apps2SD ability to it yet.
When they updated the full S4 Samsung said they were also going to add App2SD ability to the S4 Active and Mini and I was just wondering whether that has happened yet?
On the Samsung App store there is an App2SD-like app which shows support for the S4 Mini so can any of you use that app?
I'd prefer not have to root and use Link2SD....so if this hasn't happened yet then I might have to get at getting an S3 instead, despite that one not being extremely hard to operate one-handed.
When I bought my phone about a month ago apps2sd didn't work. I managed to transfer my apps to the sd with "Folder Mount" but this app requires root.
Hi I'm new to the s4 mini section.
To be perfectly honest, this phones internal memory is large enough for most things.
If you have multiple large games that you wish to keep, the quickest way is an app called gl to sd.

App2SD is supported.

Yup I'm currently stock, nothing messed with. You can go to application manager and select Move to SD.
Read my previous post because I just edited it.
Edit: but remember if an app has not been designed with App2SD in mind, then you can't move it.

Thats true, it will copy to the emulated sd card which is in fact your internal storage, thus resulting to fail moving as the app is already there.

App2sd is not yet supported. When i used to boot up AppMgr3 on samsung stock fw update (July/Aug '13 update) i got "Your device is not supported because the sdcard is being emulated" and resulting in not reading the extSdcard instead.
Sent from my GT-I9195 using xda premium
Oh darn. Perhaps the update has only been released in Eradica's region and not in your region yet/or not yet released by your carrier?
I don't know about any new samsung stock updates as i'm not running stock firmware ever since CM alphas. I failed to mention that i use CyanogenMod 10.1.3 firmware, so im not really having space issues.
Also i could always flash my kernel and rom back to original stock if any means necessary due to warranty void.
Sent from my GT-I9195 using xda premium
Well that explains it then because the is a function Samsung is specifically adding back to it's S4 line and perhaps also some S3 models with an update. Android JB which your CM is based on doesn't allow native App2SD anymore.
Ok, I just got my S4 Mini LTE version yesterday and I can confirm that Samsung have in fact released the update because I have the Move to SD card function for most of my downloaded applications on the stock 4.2.2 version.

--> extSD card not writable by system <--
Are you saying you cannot write to the SD card with apps like OfficeSuite Pro or the camera or just that the system will not install and run programs from the SD card?
If an application is designed to save its files to the card in a folder created by said application, then yes. If the application cannot create a folder on the card, then no. That is a quick explanation.

Is this only for 10.1 2014 with KK? Because I dont think this is KK related as Chromecast works for my Note 3 with SinLess KK ROM.
can someone quickly elaborate about extSD card issue
I've been able to grab small tid bits here and there.
does that mean that I can't store data, or that apps that for example fpse use ext sd for rom storage will no longer be able to use extSd ??
Sd card will work pretty much like on pre-Android, pre-Symbian phones.
Only good for media files, which must be stored via a pc, not say, loaded with the tablet from a nas.
Probably pics and vids taken with the Note can be saved on the card.
They force all more sophisticated users to root. Others, who enjoy being submitted to rules, even silly ones, and miss Adolf, are already using iOS and WP anyway.

Hey glad I caught this thread on time. So since you're on kitkat, you are unable to turn your device around 180 degrees. And that pretty much renders all cases useless for the typing position UNLESS you buy Samsung's pricey case that can fold without having you turn the device.
