i cant be the only one who has had this problem. i saved alot of vm to my sd card on my epic 4g and now that im on the note it doesn't see them and i cant listen to them. i took my sd card out and put it in my friends gb phone and it saw them right away. so clearly the jb OS doesn't see some gb files i have a diary program where i have the same problem with the note not seeing the diary entries i made while i was on my epic 4 g is there any workaround to this?. thanks
it could be that the phone is trying to read from the internal memory and not the external?
have you tried moving the files into the internal memory?

Ok, so here is my question, sorry if it was asked, i used the search and couldn't find something like me.
So whenever I install games, many uses about 200-300MB of space, it will use my USB storage which its coming to a fill very soon, if i keep downloading new games. My question is, how can i make use of my 16GB SD card to install game files. And, I just re-read the GS2 box, and it saids it has 16BGB-32GB, is there a way i can upgrade the internal USB Storage, or what exactly did that mean?
The 16-32 Gbs are like iPhones they come with 16orll or 32 gbs units. Have you tried pushing the data from tthe gamed to the sdcard?

I know i can copy it from USB to SD, or move, but i know that wont do what i want to do. Since it will be move, whenever i load the game and looks for the files, it wont look in the SD card, but the USB storage.
I thought the GS2 only came as a 16GB model. It will accept up to a 32GB microSD card and Android seems to be pretty intelligent about being able to find stuff on the external SD card if it's not in USB storage (internal). It finds my ringtones and images on my external SD card without me having to do anything.
If the apps/games you're using aren't enabled for being moved to the SD card (Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/On SD Card) then you'll have to find some other way to make space, perhaps moving your images to the external SD and configuring the camera app to store images there, or uninstalling apps.
it can actually use larger than 64 GB microSD see my HowTo guide
I'm curious as well because some titles like Asphalt 6 and GTA 3 download much more data than the .apk was to download.
For instance GTA3 from the market is 12.93MB, and if you move to external SD Card, you're moving only 13MB, but the game data to download is around 450MB and where's that stored? I have an external 32 and I'd rather prefer to store everything on that primarily.
I was so seeing the same thing. I have 32gb SD card and I would to find a workaround for this silly issue. Any input would be awesome!

On a regular linux system, it would be a simple matter of finding the folder where the data files were stored, copying them to a new drive and then configure /etc/fstab to mount the new drive on top of the data file folder.
not sure if this is possible with Android and would require root if it were possible.

tried app2sd?
sorry for the delay respond to all.I was away from a computer for awhile. So, i see all this talk, and it has helped me understand a bit more. I actually decided to delete some already beaten games to make space.
In regards to the pics and music, they have always been in my SD card. But i will download app2sd and see if it works. The actual app itself does not bother me. Most of the time, they are very little. Is the download after what does bother me. Most games need from 300mb to nearly 1Gb of space. Now thats a lot, when a phone comes only wiht 11.5GB of 16GB and we know why that happens.

app2sd is not going to help you, if you already have the stuff installed to SD card
those cheesy App2SD apps only shows you which Apps can be moved to SD
you need Link2SD the real deal, the one that actually convert stuff over to the hidden partition in your SD card to use as Internal memory, which you are short on

Please help .....I could not move files my photo,music,video & apps files from my Samsung Note II internal memory(sdcard0) to external memory 16GB(ExtsdCard) .Everytime I try - it says "moving failed" .I even tried to install apps that do this task like "Move2SD" app. that also did not work.. after searching I could not find anything related to how to move files from internal(sdcard0) to external(ExtsdCard) more worst....I cannot even make folders on the ExtsdCard. Everytime I try - it says "creation failed" .Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks....etc. Regards .:crying:
I guess you could take the ex sdcard out of the note2 and put it into your computer. Create the folders you want. then connect your note 2 to the computer. Copy the files from the note2 to the ex sdcard. When finished put the ex sdcard back into your note2.
Hope that helps.

You CANNOT natively move apps to the ext. SD card on the Note II OR the Galaxy S III. There are no apps that will work to do this on these phones any longer. Search the forums for the MOD to sway your Internal and External SD cards if you want but it seems that you have a 16G card and also a 16G device correct? If so then this mod really wont do much for you to save storage space...
Moving failed, or delete failed.

Please note that files was mentioned. He(??) did not try to move an app. He tried to move data in a folder. Why can't that be done when there is a settings menu under My Files that allows you to re-direct those same folders?
I am having the same problem after I tried the SManager with the apps2Note2 script. It worked for 2 days then all of a sudden the swap was gone with my files and folders missing. I know they have to be there somewhere but I can't find them on the system anywhere. I believe it may have changed my storage mount settings when it became corrupt. I uninstalled it and reinstalled with know luck of the swap happening again.
I may have to Reinstall my ROM. I wish I could repair it.
I would surmise that you have a faulty card

I upgraded to sotmax jb 4.3 v13 v2 it is one of the best roms. But since thei haven't been able to move files from internal sd card to external sd card as it always says moving failed. Please find a solution. My internal sd card is almost full and my laptop has gone for repair.
So I know that out of the 16 GB about half is taken up by the Samsung apps I'm fine with that. My question is this it shows 9.72 total space and if I add up everything on the internal SD card I should have about 4.5 GB available although it shows only 3.2 GB left. Any ideas where I should look or apps I could use to help trouble shoot this. I am using the Dark-stalker Rom latest version. This problem did happen with the stock ROM as well. The only thing I can think of is I used folder mount to store some data from a few game loft games on my external card. Since then I have deleted the games and unpinned the folders to be mounted to the SD card. I'm at a loss and would love any input.
I attached a pic of the storage read out
Thanks

Do you use ClockworkMod Recovery and save your backups to internal storage?
That could cause this because the rom backup doesnt show on the sd card list you posted.

OK so yea I forgot I did a backup before I flashed this rom. Where would I find out where it stored. Im assuming I could then just copy it to the SD for now until I needed it for any reason.

I have the Samsung Galaxy SII T989. It's rooted with Chameleon rom on it. How can I move the apps to my external sd card and not my internal sd card. The internal sd card is 11.5GB and my external sd card is 29.5gb. When I try to move apps from like Link2SD, etc. It installs them to my internal and not my external.
Use titanium back up to move to SD card. There's a move to SD card option, to PROVE it works here's some screenshots from 5 seconds ago lol

I already tried Titanium Backup and still doesn't work. If I try going into settings and click 'Move to SD Card" it moves it into the internal storage. Its acting like the internal storage is the sd card. I posted few screen shots in to what I'm trying to say. When I plug my phone into my pc, it does show up my internal storage and my external sd card separate.

Well that's the same for most phones. I have the main memory in my phone. Then the internal sd card, along with external, there's no way to choose where is there? Couldn't you just use root browser go into system apps and move the apk to your SD card? I've done that before, worked good for me. Or use clean master and move it. I've done all of the above across almost every manufacture. I've worked with sisters LG's my HTC, dads samsung, friends moto, and all those methods have worked perfect I will see if I can find anything tomorrow, lol gotta be up in like 5 hours xD

I've installed Cyanogenmod onto my LG G3 D855, and a lot of the apps in my Play Store profile have been downloaded and installed to internal storage. Now, as I bought a 128GB MicroSD card, I'd like to make as much use of it as possible! So I'm going through apps and trying to move the ones that I can to SD card. However, each time I press "MOVE TO SD CARD", I get this message: "Couldn't move app. Not enough storage space."
My internal storage has 23.77GB free. My external SD card has 116GB free. Somehow, I think there is enough storage space to move apps that are maybe 50MB or 100MB. I also don't see anything obvious in CatLog about the failure to move the app. So, why am I getting this error? Is it something to do with the face that the LG G3 seems to treat the internal storage as another SD card? Maybe it's trying to move the app from internal SD card -> internal SD card, and getting this error? How can I fix it, and actually move my apps to my external 128GB SD card?

Same here on a totally different device (Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus - G910F) on Android Lollipop, no clue how to solve. Reformatted the card, made new partitions, etc.

Had same problem: 32GB card works fine, but 64GB card won't move apps even though there's plenty of room.
Solution: connect the phone to the PC and fill the 64GB card with at least 32GB of data (music, video, whatever...). Now when you try to move the apps, the phone will see less than 32GB free and it will work.
App manager in my HTC Sensation 4G apparently freaks out and chokes when it sees more free space available than it was originally programmed to deal with.
