Hello first post, and unfortunately its about an issue i'm having with moving an app from the system storage to the other storage available. Whenever i press the button to move to the other storage, which is only 61mb used out of 16gb, it says
Unable to move app. Not enough storage space.

This is a brand new phone, got it this last monday. It's a Galaxy s II epic touch 4g running stock 4.0.4 and no modifications other than a few apps like skype/chrome.
I appreciate any help in advance.
It moves to external storage. If you don't have an sd card installed it won't move.

If that's so then why does it say i have an SD card?

Both internal and external are labeled as SD cards, when moving apps to SD it moves them to the external SD card which would be a removable micro SD card. You have 2 locations SD_card and external_SD. Some roms change these to emmc which is the internal SD storage and then SD_card which is the removable micro SD which is located on the right hand side above the battery under the cover. I'm pretty sure the stock rom labels them as SD_card for internal storage and external_SD for the removable micro SD slot

Okay makes sense, any easy way to move the applications from the tiny 2gb partition to the one that has plenty of space?

You can switch the locations around, if you're comfortable Modding system files. There's a guide in the general subforum here, or you can add a micro SD card, you can get one at Walmart pretty cheap. My 16gb class 6 sandisks were on sale for $20 when I picked them up but I think they are usually around $30 you could get an 8gb or even a 2gb if all you want to do is move apps the 2gb app storage on the phone and 2gb SD card would be more than enough, I only use the built in app storage and I have around 400 and something apps installed and still have 863mb left of the 2gb. Most of the apps are games and stuff for my work like office apps and calculators and stuff. I think like 200+ apps are games. I have over 2000 apps in my titanium backup folder, stuff I've been collecting the last almost 4 years I've had an android device.

Alrighty, thanks for the assistance.
Here's the link to the tutorial of how to switch the locations and trick the device into thinking the internal is the external and vice versa, however you need to be rooted and i think it would be best if you had an external SD inserted I'm not sure if not having an SD in the external when it thinks its internal would cause some kind of fatal error requiring a restore of a nandroid backup or a reflash of the rom if you don't have a backup. I recommend making a backup thru recovery if you attempt this without a micro SD card inserted just incase you end up unable to boot the device you can then restore your backup and it will be like you never did anything.

I see the SGN2 on ATT only has 16g of memory. Should I wait to see if they get devices with more memory? I understand that you cannot really run apps from the SD card. Could some one please shed some light on this for me?

I can't imagine someone having 16G of apps? Matter of faxt 8 gig of apps would be crazy. I have 30 apps on my SGSIII and that is only .7G. Most Apps are only like 10M so it would take 100 apps for 1 G. Id say 16G is plenty. Buy a 64G SD card for all your media files and you should be fine.
16 GB is fine on a phone that allows an external microSD card. Put all your music, photos, videos, etc on the microSD and you'll have 16GB dedicated only for apps.
16 GB on a device that doesn't have an SD slot is okay for people who either don't have much stuff or that store that stuff on a "cloud" service (dropbox, google music/drive, etc) Personally, I don't like the "cloud" idea as it uses up my data allotment.
For the sake of comparison, I have 4 Gigs of music and many apps on my Inspire 4G with 8 GB micro SD Card. 16 GB internal with a 32 GB card will be more space than most people will use.
i actually had to clear out internal space for tomtom maps on my 16gb atrix (no option to use sd card for the maps) ....and i only use internal for apps.
yeah i know there are ways to force apps to sd...but it was causing freezing issues on the atrix...
so yeah, a little disappointed that there isn't a 32gb at launch...cuz in two years apps can just get bigger and bigger....

Can't you install the APPS on the SD card, just like you can do today?
Was just curious on difference in file size between my ios apps and soon to be android apps. I will compare a couple of other apps later today but if this is the trend I don't think I will have an issue with only 10gb of usable space.
I just compared the original angry birds 2.3.0 and my ios app is 112mb and the play store shows the android version is only 24mb.
Netflix ios 30.3mb and playstore shows the android version at 10mb.

wow. That concerns me greatly.
For me 16GB is not enough for main memory. I have a 32GB SD card but unfortunately on the S3 and presumably the Note 2 App2SD won't work. So all you are left with is 16gb to install all your apps, which is really like 11GB useable. Well if you want to play games on your phone (I have been) a lot of these bigger games are each 1GB or larger!! I just Bards tale and that had an option to install 3.5GB!! So for me I have to say my next phone needs to have at least 32GB or larger especially if App2SD can't get working right. I was really hoping the Att GN2 would come in 32 and 64GB flavors.
1 guy posted in the thread I pasted that Titanium backup moves Apps to the SD without issue. I get mine Tuesday I'll be trying it first thing. If it doesn't work I'll have to return it, 10Gb is not enough for Apps now and future.

My main concern regarding the memory configuration is that I thought I read somewhere in the forums that internal memory has faster access than the SD card expansion memory. My current Galaxy Note is using a 16g internal memory configuration with a 32g Class 10 SD card. I was hoping to go for the 32g option for internal memory if it was going to be made available but maybe the speed benefit isn't that great.
When looking at the pre-order options, I only see the 16g model and it doesn't offer the white version that is listed on Samsung's site! I'm not sure if I should wait a little longer or just dive in now!

I'm in the same boat, I would like to get a White 32gb version but I read AT&T is only getting the 16GB and only have grey for now. I'm not sure if I can wait until the white one comes out or not.
16gb isn't going to be enough for me but I do have a 64gb sdxc so I'll just make due.

When are they going to release the 64 GB Galaxy Note 2 ? At least when Apple say that there is a 64 GB version, we actually see it in real life.
If Samsung is not going to release it, why even announce that there is a 64 GB version. Samsung may as well say that there is a 16/32/64/128/256 GB version of the Galaxy Note 2 during its event to make it look good.
Gn2 forums state Samsung isn't going to bother with the 64, and likely focus on the 16 only.

Even if you don't believe everything posted in a forum, considering that the 64GB S3s are just now slowly starting to trickle out in Europe, I wouldn't be optimistic on that ever happening.
Wait toss doesn't have 64? Kidding, but maybe the onboard chip coukd be removed and replaced with a 64gb model. Couple of guys I work with could do it and they have the tools. Probably safer to put a 64gb class 10 microsd in it. Maybe in a year, after warranty is out, I'll have them take a stab at it.

I would imagine that a class 10 64GB card would not be a good idea as a replacement to the built-in 16GB flash; I think the onboard flash is higher speed than any SD card we would install, even if you could get the Note II's storage controller and such to recognize the new chip properly, and do the connections properly.
Sounds like a cool project nonetheless
Try this, it will switch your external sd card to your internal sd card. So if you have a 64gb card you can essentially have a 64gb samsung note 2.

How are things running? The internal storage on the note 2 is about triple the speed of an extreme sd card running at 95mb/s. Note 2 internal read write is just over 220 mb/s. If you use a class 10 sd card, those are only 25-30mb/s. If your playing games with huge loads like Nova 3 or move huge amounts of video/photos, it's likely going to take a huge hit to speed if you use the SD card as internal storage.
It's like desktop PCs - many people use smaller ssds for the OS and the bigger but often slower drives for heavy storage. In this case then internal is like an ssd and the SD card is like a data drive.
Can you compare the transfer rate while moving a big video to and from the internal memory compared to moving the same video to the SD card mounted as the internal drive? Curious as to your results.

My point is not that iphone has better storage or not. What I want to say is Samsung stated that there is a 64 GB version of the Galaxy Note 2 and they don't release it at the same time as the release of the 16 GB. Apple actually release the 16/32/64 GB at the same time.
The funny thing is, Samsung actually can make its own flash memory. It does not have to depend on another company.

To be honest i cant tell of any difference in speed in day to day use. Apps load fine and just as fast as the internal sd. The core apps and Stock Rom are installed on the ram, so there wouldnt be any difference really with using the device. As for transferring videos back and forth i haven't really done and tests, but than again i would always store larger media files on the 64gb sd anyway. I do highly recommend this mod especially for someone looking for more capacity. i had this mod on my gs3 and no problems then, and i have no problems now. If anyone is holding out for the 64gb note 2 just look at the gs3 situation. You have to remember you arent removing the internal sd they are just swapped for each other in the OS. So the internal is now the external. Both are accessible just like normal.
I'm running a 64GB microSDXC and it's just fine and dandy. I agree they shouldn't announce it and then not have it available though.

You should never be worried about the internal memory size - even 8GB should be enough, AS LONG AS the phone comes with EXTERNAL SD CARD SLOT WHICH ACCEPTS LARGE SD CARDS. Having the external SD card is NOT necessarily about expanding your storing capacity (although a 64GB does that generously) but rather about having your information safe, significantly less prone to accidental formatting/erasing. Most of the time when you do a factory reset your internal storage is also formatted - do you want that to happen when you stored tons of important information? Of course not!! Worried about read/write speed? Buy a high quality, class 10 external SD card and I promise you won't see any drop in speed. Only use the internal storage for files that the system really looks for and requires to be placed inhere - otherwise, EVERYTHING else, especially large media files, backups and personal files should be kept onto the EXTERNAL SD Card. There are tons of advantages doing so and all those messages companies like Apple, HTC (newly adopted this stupid model), or others alike who try to influence and convince you that external SD cards are obsolete & cloud storage is better, all that is simply marketing BS. Buy Samsung because they didn't aligned themselves to the BS, because you can have a super generous 16GB internal storage and up to 64GB external storage. Do you need more than 80GB on the go? Then reconsider...really! Maybe you shouldn't download all the internet today, leave some for tomorrow when they'll make you pay for all that "free" cloud storage that you kept cramming onto today. Be open minded, understand how things work and do what's good for YOU not for the big corporations!
Several game loft games and the internal storage is gone... some people do that ya know
And most people dont know about all the hacks to get around this limitation.

The issue is the amount of internal (NAND) flash memory installed in the phone. When Samsung announced the Galaxy S4 they said it would be available with 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of internal flash. This is comparable to the Galaxy S3, which was available with 16GB or 32GB (and later 64GB) internal flash.
This has become an important issue because the SGH-M919 (T-Mobile's version) comes with almost half of the 16GB internal flash used by pre-installed applications. This leaves the user with less than 8GB for their own use.
Samsung's attitude is just use the external SD card, which can hold up to 64GB. However, the most recent versions of Android do not support running applications from the external SD card. So this not a valid alternative.
Though 8 GB sounds like quite a lot of storage, on my Galaxy S3 (with 32GB internal flash and 64GB external flash) I am using approximately 10GB of the internal flash memory. And this is with all photos/music/video stored on the external card.
I would have already more then filled the internal flash on the 16GB Galaxy S4.
In addition, no matter how much better/faster the Galaxy S4 is, I will not go from 32GB Internal flash to 16GB Internal flash while paying $650 for the "upgrade".
Both the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4 come with 2GB of internal RAM.
I hope this answers your question.

Thats crazy! Back that stuff up to your computer man! lol. I have the 16GB S3 and have only ever filled up the internal SD because i didn't clean it. After i took 10 mins to go through ever file i had, i reclaimed 7 GB! of data.

It has nothing to do with cleaning. It has to do with having over 700 apps installed, some of them using large amounts of data that could not be moved to the SD card. When I clean the dead and unused file I may recover 10 or 20 MB. Not gigabytes.

It has nothing to do with cleaning. It has to do with having over 700 apps installed, some of them using large amounts of data that could not be moved to the SD card. When I clean the dead and unused file I may recover 10 or 20 MB. Not gigabytes.

Some of them are because I'm anal. I have something like 30 camera apps because I just can't decide which one I like best. I am a professional photographer and none of them work like my Nikon D-700 .
I keep downloading the Amazon free app of the day if it looks like an interesting game or utility. I have 10 different calculators (RF, Hex, Construction, Depth of Field, etc). Maybe 30 different games. I have a whole bunch of root/custom configuration apps. Even a bootable copy of Ubuntu.
I use Go Launcher Ex. I have the most commonly used apps on my home page, 2nd most commonly used apps on a second home page.
Everything else is organized into 36 folders in the app tray.

I am leaning towards the JB+ camera app as it seems to be the easiest. However, there are several apps that allow much more control for when I am too lazy to drag out the Nikon.
I use NeoCal in RPN mode for my main calculator but it doesn't handle Hex or Time Value of Money very well.
I sent you a private email about learning Java/Android and an app I would like to write.
thanks in advance...
I'm still waiting for the 64GB version of the SGH-M919.

I did reply, i hope you got it, i typed quite a bit

OK... I lost hope in any sandisk 32gb sdcard.... Just lost hope.
Something like 4 months ago, I got a brand new sandisk 32gb sdcard to use with my note2
Filled It over 16gb... BAM!!!....a dead SD card
Got it replaced with another one "also sandisk 32" and i tried filling it to test it, had 11 GB free "19gb used" and downloaded an APK file, when I was opening it, it said "file not supported" or something like that.
So I went to my files wondering why an apk isnt associated by downloads app, and I open it finding no extSdcard anymore.
Storage in settings says insert SD card, tried it in an s2 and it said empty SD card.
So please guys give me a solution. Cuz my whole life is in it. Thanks guys.
Got samsung 32gb card after similar fiasco with SanDisk.... no problems with the Sammy card
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
I was on my second Sandisk 32gb for 1 week when it also gave up the Ghost.
Ended up getting a full refund and putting that towards a Samsung 64gb.
Sammy is full to the brim of MP3's and has not missed a beat.
I think Note 2 Owners should give Sandisk Cards a Miss.
I have use a Samsung 8Gb SD Card with swap and 2nd partion for 1 year and never have a problem. You should try changing the brand, the Note II overheating issue is clearly a problem when using SD Card. The best thing you could do is be careful

Thanks guys for your replys, i really appreciate it.
my device detects it but says "empty sd card" when i format the device just goes to boot animation and starts over (atleast thats in paranoid rom, will try on sammy)
It's just that its got on my nerves, i got a refund from the first card, and i think its really a waste of time to get a second refund and a third card.
16gb (10 usable) is not enough for my use "u could call me a pig when it comes to storage " and this whole sd card thing is really pissing me off.
i use 2 roms "thanks to devil kernel" and its really hard to maintain space considering that u have to install apps on both. and when i put the sd in a card reader and want to format it, it gives me "30mb" as the disk size. i just wish 2 know whats the cause... is it sammy rom?
thanks guys anyways
Perhaps you have some partitions messed up. And the dual rom/kernel thing probably isn't setting up either storage correctly. And I think you're addicted to android. It is affecting other hardware in your life. Lol.

Thanks for ur reply, I'd repartition if I could, but unfortunately I can't access it at all.
And the dual ROM thing is a bit messed up. In aosp ROM it doesn't even detect internal SD. I have to access it through /data/media
And yes.... I'm very addicted to android
SanDisk 64GB microsdxc ..... 4 months so far and no issues.... except want more storage ....
