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.

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

Welcome to jelly bean
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
ICS does not allow to install to SD Card/// You can run a script on a rooted rom that swaps the internal memory for the external... Look it up dude
Use airdroid. One of my favorite apps.. solution to mtp

Do you have anyway to connect it to a pc or another device to see if it isnt just your particular device.
Yes I do.

How is this even possible? I would think this is a very serious problem if it can happen naturally. Could you please advise how to prevent this from happening?

too little info. tell what u run. Reflash to stock if cannot solve.
Running V.03 btw. Max Lee set it up for it to switch for some reason. I just downloaded root explorer and that let me delete that file so I rebooted and it switched back! For anyone who had the same problem here is your solution.

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?

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.
I am having a problem accessing folders/files while my Note 2 is connected to PC as Media Device.
Let me do state/clarify that I have no problem accessing any folder/file from phone when using any file manager app.
It's when I connect my Note 2 to my PC/and or Linux box, that I do not see all the available folders that I know should be there.
Some are completely missing and some are even showing up, BUT are being read as empty - particularly those that are hidden folders (that I purposely named them starting with a period to hide its contents) (yes, I have enabled "show hidden files" on my linux box as well)
This is happening on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
Now I'm not talking about system folders and files. I'm talking about missing folders from sdcard0 and extSdCard!
Here's the kicker though... If I remove my MicroSD card from my phone and insert it to my PC's card reader, all the missing folders/files are there!
WTF???
Is it because when using the cable to my PC the phone is being mounted as Media Device instead of an attached storage as when I insert the microsd card to my PC?
Anyone else having this problem?
Wow no one else is having this issue? It Cant just be me. It did it with the stock ROM and a custom ROM

Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
Gonna have to look into a solution cause this is bullsh!t that I'm going to have to take my microsd card out every time I need to access all my files.

Ive always had an issue but its Ubuntu related. Windows its a driver issue.
-first try an removing device from device manager. Unplug and reboot. Install them fresh.
-make sure you have switched on to connect as MTP. When your connected, pull it down an see what options are available.

This seems to be a common issue with Samsung devices. I had the exact same issue and it drove me crazy.
Sent from my Mackified Galaxy Note II using XDA Premium.
I'm having trouble with MTP using the latest version of Paranoid Android, it's SO slow, I just copied a 5MB file to the phone and the transfer lasted like 15 seconds, also, I really don't like that "media" layer thats added, I need to make some space in my internal storage/SDCARD and I can't even use a program to calculate the folder sizes, I want direct access to it, just that, I don't understand why it's not available in AOSP.
Well, I searched and someone said "hey, mount the storage/sd with recovery", ok, here we go. And nope, last TWRP doesn't work for some reason. OK, lets go back to CMW. And nope, again, can't mount them, it just won't work, nothing happens when I check the mount button...
Also I read that using the "Fix permissions" fix may solve it, well, it doesn't, tried that with both recoveries.
So, is there any way to enable USB Mass Storage Mode? Also, why is MTP SO DAMN SLOW? I've searched and I'm not the only one thats having this problem it seems.
Thanks.
Anyone?
Samsung made it like that, you cant do nothing about thet so far.

Can you explain a bit further about that? What did Samsung do?
Cant sorry, samsung made your sd car like a media storage not all file storage, more for music, movies, pictures, thats one of the reasons why samsung wont let you save apps on sd card.

Well, thats a crap sad, thanks for the explanation, I guess that I should use an external sdcard reader :S
Hey guys, I need some help in doing the swap from Internal to External so that way I can install more apps. I was looking around I found External to Internal app, will it work fine on 4.3 ? And are there are other work around for 4.3 OS. I found guides but they are for 4.2.2 and below. Haven't been able to find one for 4.3 Not sure if they patched or the process it still same.
Many apps can be moved using the app management in Settings now. Have you tried that yet?

Yeah instead it just moves it to a different folder in phone storage. I think 4.3 killed sD cards.
I'm not really sure then. Though I'm pretty sure that ought to move them to the external card. Ive rarely had to use it, but I recall doing so always did for me.

for me , with ESfile explorer with root privileges i am able to move files/items back and forth quite easily. dont know if that would help your exact issue though.
