Moving to sd - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello just bought the gs3 yesterday. I am coming from the s2 which was rooted. I can't seem to transfer apps to the sd card? I am not currently rooted but will be rooting soon.

Samsung intentionally disabled the ability to move apps to the SD card. The reason being they would rather you buy the 32GB or 64GB model instead of buying the 16 GB model and adding an SD card.
If you search XDA, there are a couple of fixes you can flash after rooting to re enable this.

Thanks for the info. If I stay unrooted with the onboard 16 of storage I assume the apps save there and the 2gb of Ram is unaffected?

Onboard storage is irrelevant when you live in the cloud. Just like Google wants you to. I have 9GB free. Most of my space is taken up by backups and ROMs.

Same here. I dont miss sd card slot at all.

I only miss the SD card because I have several Android devices and I'd like to be able to take one out and put it another one in for purposes such as music, etc.
32gb would have been nice so I could keep more than 2 roms backed up at once on my galaxy nexus plus allow for all my games,apps an music, 16 gb really doesn't go that far for me, I find myself uninstalling a lot of stuff an keeping apps an games backed up with titanium backup so I can easily get it back quickly if I need to so I have storage space.

Free "Thanks" I did not mean to thank you.
But anyway, I have like 10 back ups + music + HQ movies. I honestly don't see a difference in sells if Google were to add additional storage to this phone.

Maybe sales may even have gone done because the price would have to be a bit more.

I really love how I just bought this phone brand new in box off contract from Google for $399

I totally agree that I'd have liked to see a 32GB option and/or a slot for a microSDXC card, like the Galaxy SIII has. I don't want to depend on cloud storage for my music files. And I'd rather use my own music app rather than the Google Play music player. A 64GB microSDXC card in the GN would be perfect.
As it is, I bought a 64GB flash drive that I mount on my GN via USB OTG and Stickmount. Not ideal, but it works.

Would of?
What the hell does that mean?
Would've, while sounding like "would of" is in fact short for "would have"
Together the two words show timing and intent, but could be used apart:
I would buy.
I have bought.
But the same is not true of your use of the word "of."
I of bought.
Simple mistake based on tricks our ears play on us.
No offense intended.

Sorry. Pet peeve. About once every few years I end up posting someplace about "would, should, could of".
Sorry you had to see this, it won't happen again for about 3 years.

Well states wise, how much they would have sold, if Google had a unified launch of launch product. as i remember the release date from Verizon was foggy at best. Then they offered no way buying in the stateside besides Ebay/Amazon, till whatever exclusivity deal expired with Verizon. Then Google finally offered directly and Sprint got the phone.
I could only imgine that this phone would have sold well, if it had any amount of marketing, and unified launch besides one carrier in the states

I have an 8gb card in my phone now and 1.1gb left it's safe to say that 16gb will be okay for me. I'm looking at price point of the phone. Not the memory.

You really think it would have sold any more units with 32GB storage? I find that hard to believe. If you choose your phone based on 16GB vs 32GB storage, and are willing to give up having a Nexus because of it, you clearly don't get it. I still have yet to understand why anyone would need that much storage.
And MicroSD sucks. Partitions and UMS are just a pain in the ass. Don't expect Google to ever use them again in a Nexus device.

My Note II keeps remounting SD Card

Hi
Sometimes when I turn on the screen I notice the SD Card symbol is "ON" in the notification bar. Is it because my Note II keeps remounting the SD Card and thus rescanning the SD Card?
Why does it keep doing this?
I have my songs all stored on the SD Card and because it keeps remounting it, the songs do not stay in the playlist!
How do I keep the SD Card permanently mounted?
My Note II is running stock ROM.

Nope... plugged and unplugged by SD Card a number of times and still the SD card gets rescanned.
Can't keep my songs on SD Card in my playlists.
Does any one else experience this at all? Am I the only one experiencing this?
I have the same issue. Till now, not able to find a solution. Planning to send it back for warranty claim!

This is a warning that your sd card may soon be destroyed. It afflicts s3 and note 2. just backup your data. For more info search the thread- "s3 the sd card destroyer"​

I had a 32gig scandisk class 10 and it kept re mounting every so often... also sometimes my pictures wouldn't show up in gallery. Tonight I bought a Samsung 32 gig class 6 and all is well.
I believe it was the stupid scandisk that didn't want work properly. Hope this helps!!!
Had the same problem, my supplier gave me a new card, problem solved
the same with a 32gb sandisk class10, after ~2 moths of use without a problem.
Amazon gave me back the money and my old 4gb card is working fine.
I had encountered the same issue with my n7000 and my s3. Your SD card is on the way out. Try to format it first but it that doesn't work your best course of action is to replace.
Guess what? My 32GB Class 4 SanDisk went all flaky a couple of days ago. I got an error message saying that the SD cannot be read and to reformat it.
Absolutely not! All my new pictures and songs are all being stored on the SD card!
I rebooted my phone and it could read the ca4d again but it's no longer stable.
Sigh
Why do we have this problem with the Note II?

I've experienced the same issue once on my Note 2 with a Sandisk 32Gb card.
My 32GB class 4 Sandisk microSD card that I thought was working well finally died. I tried reformatting it and it worked for a little while more but finally died and could not even be reformated.
What can we do about the Note II propensity to kill microSD cards?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Damn, I really hope it's not the Note 2 that's killing cards. I just sent back my 64gb SanDisk card which died after about 4 months of use. So while I'm waiting for a replacement, I have a 32gb cards in the way.
In over ten years of using removable flash storage I've never had a card die in me and I've had at least 15 different CF, SD and micro sd cards. Why does this "high end" sandisk card have so many issues on modern devices?
Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2
My 8gb class 4 Kingston card also died while being used on my Note 2. Was previously using the same card on s2 and s3 too. I'm hoping with all these reported cases of sd cards dying, correlation doesn't equal causation! I'll nevertheless get a Samsung sd card for replacement. Hoping samsung cards should theoretically work better on samsung phones. Haha
I have got same problem on my 32 GB class 10 memory card and got it replaced.though I got a brand new sd card but still confused o using it.... wheyher I shuld use it or get it change with samsung 32gb class.any advice would be great

[Q] Apps to sd

I was just curious if this phone allows you to move apps to your sd card unlike the note 2

No. But it has 32 GB of internal storage so it tends to be plenty.

Yes you could. I purchased the full version for use with my s3 and s4 and it works a treat. However, is it really necessary with 32gb?

You probably can by rooting but seeing how I don't have the phone and was just doing some research on it and my friend is looking at getting the phone and he isn't big into the whole rooting thing but thanksfor your guys help

Thanks nelvinchi for a "sense" reply. I have ordered a 32gb class 10 card from Amazon, due to the fact you cannot install apps too them 32gb will be plenty for me, if you could of installed apps I would have payed for 64gb, hence the reason for my question.

Rooting tab s 8.4 (USA version, wifi only)

Since marshmallow doesn't seem to be happening at all, is there any working marshmallow ROMs for this device yet? Also, my understanding is that marshmallow will work as some sort of RAID setup where the micro SD card and the internal memory are mixed into one so now micro SD card will actually allow to install an entire app on it?
Anything else I need to know to get this done? Thanks very much!

From my understanding of the Marshmallow timeline; I wouldn't give up hope yet. We could be getting sometime in the Spring.
Buying a 16gb device is the worst I've ever done. It's unusable after a few apps. I just wanna be able to consolidate micro SD card and internal memory into one already..
