You are using some app and have configured it to sdcard .
Check which app you have installed that has that ability

I am rooted is that because of that?

Maybe unintentionally. Tom toolbox or some other app that has the ability to do so.

I m pretty sure i dont have any of them. Does rooting grants that permission.
Sent from my GT-N7000

You need root and the app have asked for root access but the actual selection has been done by hand.
Can you list your root apps?

What is root apps? How can i do that?
Sent from my GT-N7000

Apps that need root to work.
Such apps are titanium backup
Triangle away. Rom manager. Rom toolbox.
Csc changer.
Mobile Odin
Seeder.
Like that

App like Addsfree requires root permission but dont think so that may affect this problem.

Even app keeps disappearing from my home screen. God!

The app icons look like that for apps that are on the SD Card and the SD card is removed or unmounted. Apps that store themselves in /.asec (I think, whichever hidden folder is the one that is used for secure apps) also show that icon when the SD card is removed.

How you expect support For Note1 on Note2 forum?
Anyway, some application are by default moves to Sd card in Note1. some ICS have added newer launcher that have this bug(if i remember correctly LR6/Q or near to it). application which are on Sd card, becomes semitransparent(still usable) and if you keep short cut of this application to a folder on desktop, it gets erase short cut after rebooting.
Just move back your application to Phone memory and it should work.
you may find it in setting - application manager - app on Sd card (or something, i left using ICS and Note1, 4 month back)
and you will find option to move to phone

As i said move application to phone and it will be fine. Or if you want to keep that on SD card only then update to latest ROM, which is bug free.

Thankx man will try the same.

What apps can and can't be moved to SD by Titanium?

Titanium backup has the capability to move apps to the SD card that normally won't go. I wanted to check everyone's success or failure on moving these stubborn or poorly written apps. Apps appear to move to sd card but do not work properly and others go just fine. Can we start a list? I will try to maintain it here. Thanks.

Thanks to lilajrestnom and TexasEpic4G for their contributions.
This is a great idea. This is most helpful. It would also be good to know what applications can be restored without causing a bunch of FCs. This is the reason I don't like saving applications to my SD card.

Kenny, you're not getting any examples. I'll try some of mine and let you know. One question; where in Titanium is the option to move apks to the SD card? I have the paid version and don't see it.

You can either go to batch and there will b a "move/integrate" section that allows u to choose what files to move on sd card
Or jut go to the normal "backup/restore" hold an app until the big menu pops up and near the bottom it says "move to sd"
Just a qestion... what does it really help with to move the apps to sd card? Just memory?

The phone has very limited storage...just 512MB and OS takes up almost 300MB of that. For people that are appaholics they need to store them on the SD card.

Ya I knew it was basically for memory and that helps the phone process better.. correct..?
Ill try and move some apps now and see what I can and still works
So I found out that some apps will not allow you to move them to the sd card or convert them to user app
But the xda app moved to sd card well and its working normally
I don't really use millions of apps so I don't have many to choose to move lol most of my apps r already made to be allowed to be saved on sd card but if I try more ill let you know
And I'm guessing apps like set cpu and screen filter will not work if there on the sd card..?

Just tried HBO GO, it moved successfully and works.
And Groupon, Iheart Radio and Qik work as well.

Thank you. Added you list to the OP.

[Root] App2SD change external to internal.

Not sure if this has been posted yet here but this is how you make you external become your internal and have everything save to it.

Never mind I'm just dumb. Once you switch your hd you need to go to camera, settings, storage, click on it if it's greyed out, set storage to phone and it should work.

When I added my sd card, I went to storage and switched it to the SD card and all pics I take get saved to the SD card except Burst Shot images.
When I go to the gallery, I can see all pics in one place - whether its on the SD card or Internal storage. This is how its supposed to work.
Yea but I made it so my sdcard reads as my internal so anything that is saved even apps goes to my 64gb instead of 16gb internal. So things run a little different

I just used Titanium Backup to move the apps I wanted moved. I tried the Apps2SD app in the market but it wouldnt move some apps
This is not apps2sd app this actually makes your external storage your main storage.

Guys if you want to revert changes, do you just copy the folders and files back to the main card and not run the script any more at boot? (of course, just whatever fits in 16Gb that is)
Or will I have to flash a ROM again just to make sure things are not messed up?
i activated the script and just tried installing a game from google play.. it still went to my internal card, not the external card.
Didnt work for me either. I can open all aps. I was expecting then to crash since the sdcard was empty. Darn it I want this to work
Sent from the Mighty Galaxy Note 2!
You don't have to flash a Rom for this just follow the directions by going into the app you downloaded open the script and turn on su and boot and save to turn it on. To turn it off turn su and boot off and save. Each time power off your device completely to reset changes.

Remember it should say your external is now your internal. So if it's going to the new internal that's good

You're rooted correct?
If so make sure you download script manager, download the apps2sd script, open in script manager, turn on su and boot, save, power off device and turn it back on.

That is what I am doing. The internal is still 16Gb sadly.
I am running CleanRom with Perseus kernel btw
My apps switched when I changed it and I had to download patches when entering the app again. Also lost my sounds/have to change them. I'm running multi Window mod.
Not sure what's happening on your end. If you go to the link you can post on the topic or email the moderator, he's usually pretty helpful.

[Q] How to move apps from internal to SD card?

hey yall just wanting someone to explain in simple terms how to move my apps from internal storage to SD card. like 85% of my internal space is taken up by apps. i know technically its not supposed to affect performance but i think it is in a secondary way. can someone please explain how to transfer apps and if it can be done with a file explorer app or if it has to be done in PC?
TIA
Go for Link2SD! One and only solution!

In settings applications manage applications click on each one. If the move to USB button is not greyed out hit it.

Just make sure you don't use a widget with an app you want to move. It won't work if the apps on the sd card.

Is there a way to set default media storage to ExtSdCard for all downloads?

Hi
I'm sorry if someone already asked this (tried searching but didn't find the exact same question).
Is it possible to set a default storage location for all apps downliads/pictures? I know how to do it in camera and some apps have a setting option for this. But I've uninstalled many apps (wallpapers etc) simply because I'm too frustrated with transferring files manually.
For example, my instagram saves pictures to device memory and it really bothers me...
Thanks a lot!

Thanks so much for the link. However, I'm not trying to move apps to sd card because I don't have that many apps. And I don't really want to root my device.
I want to set all app downloads to sd card. Some apps have a setting for that but some don't.
Thanks anyway!

You can use directory bind, but sorry still you needs root to use it.

[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.
