I have gone through the posted threads and am still unable to get my galaxy note 2 to move anything from internal storage to the external SD card. Does anybody have any idea what to do or a specific app that will work?
I have the At&t 16GB galaxy note 2. I am constantly getting the message that I have no storage space left.
Please help!
Please give a more detailed description of your issue.

have you tried just using the file manager on the phone? or ES file manager? just manually move what you need, careful with apps some dont play nice with ext, sd. usually in app settings there is an option to move apps.

Hi
I bought the Note 10.1 with 16 GB memory thinking that I will be able to move the APPS to the external 32 GB memory I had installed. However APP2SD tells me that "the device does not have a real primary external storage or the primary storage is emulated".
I set the install location as 2 through the SDK adb devices command prompt screen. Still I am not getting the option to transfer the APPS to the SD card.
Can someone tell me whether this option can be activated or is it blocked by Samsung. I am able to transfer the APPS to external storage in my HTC Desire phone with ICS update
oh wow, apps2sd doesn't work on the Galaxy S3.
I hope that's not the case for the GN2. Can anyone else confirm?
On my Note 1, I'm currently using Directory bind: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
to move stuff off that apps2sd doesn't work with, but it requires root.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/treat-your-sd-card-as-your-real-external-storage-with-swapsd/
is another option, but I'd hate to use that. Internal memory should be much faster than external card memory.

Wrong forum?
Take a look in the note 10.1 forum, under Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development. There are 2 guides how to move your apps to sd. Though you need root for both i suppose!
And that is the exact reason Google doesn't want OEM's to include expandable storage. When apps are moved to the SD card, they are unable to sync correctly with the OS. SD cards will be a thing of the past within 2 years...
Unable to apps to micro sd card.

I have the GN2, and I can confirm that moving apps to the sd card is not possible. Is there some other program that's needed in order to make moving apps to the sd possible? And advice would be much appreciated.
Instead of starting another thread, I would also like to know the answer to this as I just received my note 2 and I cannot move apps to sd card.
i noticed that too... i wanted to move some of the apps to the sd card but it doesn't have the move to sd card option...
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.
Hi, Just rooted my Galaxy Note 2 and would like to move the apps to external SD Card. Tried using Droidsail, it returns with a message - not enough space. Could anyone help? Also, how to make the external sd card as a default back up space for Titanium backup?
try it using App to sd or Link 2 SD. They both work for me. About the TB you should check the settings

Sorry to open this thread after several months but I am having the same issue. I rooted my ATT Note II (i317) running stock 4.1.2 and cannot figure out how to transfer apps. I have App Manager (formerly Known as App2SD) and it is reporting the function is not available. Is there anything I need to do such as install a custom ROM?
Thanks.
4.3 touchwiz roms have a "move to SD" option built in.
So I'm coming from note 3. Is it just me or can you not move files from phone storage to SD card. ? I torrent my movies and music like a lot I'm sure do. But can't get anything I download to move to my SD card. ?
I also came from a Note 3, and when it had 4.3 on it, you could transfer apps to SD, but 4.4.2 stopped that. Its not a Samsung or HTC thing, its a 4.4.2 thing.
Just tested it and I can use Root Explorer to make a transfer between internal SD and external SD.

Hey,
I believe there was something reported about 4.4.2 not allowing this process. I went to Playstore and downloaded an app called "NextApp SDFix". It's supposed to restore your permissions to write files to the MicroSD cards. Check it out!!
You should be able to use HTC File Manager, which allows you to copy files to the SD card, without root access. Hope this helps.
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.

I've come looking for an answer too for my GPad. I have enough space both internal and on the SD card but I'm getting updates breaking and can't move stuff to the SD card either.

I have the same issue. Please assist
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.
