Swap Internal Card with External Card - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi again everyone, I want to thank all of you great and talented people who have helped me and made suggestions as to make my Note 2 a much better device. I have a problem and I need some help. I have the Note 2 on T-Mobile, and I rooted it,
How do swap my internal memory to become external memory and vice versa.? I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 (USA version) I live in the New York City area.
I have about 1.36 GB left of device memory. When I download a game, or a large app, it automatically goes my device memory. Problem #1: Is there any way I can tell my Note 2, or set up my Note 2 so that whenever I download a game or an app, to go automatically instead to my micro external SD 64 GB card (I have the Sandisk Class 10 card). So I have two problems one is transfer some of my 8.97 GB presently on the card, and in the future make every app or game I get to automatically to San Disk Card. when I go "My Files" on my Note 2, it lists two storage areas: the Sdcard0 and extSdCard. Also, when I plug in my Note on my computer it only shows the following: Card: 36.9 GB free of 59.4 and phone 1.25 GB free of 10.8 GB. Can anyone please help, please thanks? Thanks.

4 GB Memory Card and Camera "Not Enough Memory 36001:11

Hello,
Sprint PPC 6600 with a 4 GB SD card... the card is working fine with files, however I get the following error upon trying to use the camera for pics / video:
"Unable to capture. Not enough Memory 36001:111:0"
the Tools> Options (Image & Video Tabs) are set to have the SD card be the storage folder.
any suggestions?
Thanks
this is my first post from my BA.. anyway..it is a known problem with the camera software itself.. not the hardware.. just need to put enough data on your SD so you have less than 2gb free and you should be good to go
works great.
thank you for your time

Keep ext sd card clean if unwanted files

Question
I want my extra sd card to only have my media...no and secure or data or any other app crap placed on it
I try and keep everything on the internal 16 GB storage. This way my 64 GB sd card only has my games and movies.
What I have noticed is I can delete them off my sd card...remove it...and restore the app data with titanium back up and I am all good. But after a few days they sneak onto my SD card and take up about 1 GB of space. In effect the files are duplicated on my internal memory and my sd card.
This is inefficient...does anyone know how to prevent this ?

If I understand you correctly and I believe I do, you want to maintain all of your External SD cards space for your media, and if its a 64gig card you want ALL 64gigs free for the media of your choice.
The simple fact that your phone formats that card so it can use it sould tell you that your phone placed data on your SD so not all 64gigs are free. Formatting in general takes some space away from the media for the format to reside. So on a 64gig card, you may end up with like, 62.3gigs or a bit less after format.
I use a 32gig but only 29.8gigs are useable due to format. just saying...hope I'm correct and that I helped you.

Not what I meat.
What bothers me is my phone sees two sd cards ...one is the 16 GB internal memory and the other is the ext sd card.
When downloading an app that installs to sd by default the phone will randomly throw it on my ext sd card if It is plugged in...but if I take the card out it will put it on the 16 GB memory
What bothers me most is all the extra folders and the fact that somethings are in one place and not the other or both.
There needs t be a way for the phone to leave my sd card alone
It gets confusing because the so called 16 GB internal memory on the phone is treated like a sd card by the system and is not part of the system rom....the system rom where most apps is installed is seperate

SanDisk and KingMax have new 64GB MicroSD cards out that the Galaxy and others work on. The problem for me is the price......like ~$150.
To the OP .....Maybe it is the card as I have a couple of Samsung 32gb class 10 and don't have that problem. Whatever I put on my ext. SD card stays there.

I have no problem with what I put staying on my card..it is the app folders and android secure data that my phone seems to duplicate onto my sd card as well as the included internal card.
Check you app directory you will see an android secure folder on your internal and ext sd card...chances are you have duplicate data in each...

There is nothing limiting phones to 32 GBs ...that is just sales material.
I put this sd card in an og droid and n1 and it worked.
Fat 32 can read large drives on a pc so nothing stops iron android either. I have a 2 TB hardrive formatted as fat 32 at home.
Fyi SDXC will allow for up to 2 TBs on your cell phone within 5 years. Prototypes of the micro sdxc @ 2 tb have already been developed.
Hence why the whole nexus internal memory only is bs

Did you ever figure out a way to keep data on the phone only? I have a BIG problem with Evernote (free). I love the program as it holds small bits of data that I cannot remember (e.g. license plate numbers, birthdays, drivers license numbers, etc) but are too personal to not worry about. I only use 1/2 MB (yes, that is right, 1/2 MB) so paying for the premium version is much too expensive for what I store.
What I recently found however, has me ready to stop using it. The program stores all the 'cards' on the SD card of my Samsung S3 phone. And if you pull out the card, pop it into a computer and go to the Evernote folder, they store the data IN PLAIN ENGLISH! So even if I lock my phone anyone who can get the card out can read all this information. I even told the program not to store the data for offline access and cleared the cache/history but it still remains on the SD card if the program is running. I need a way to prevent the program from storing the data on the SD card. I thought I had it fixed - completely remove the program, delete all stored data and folders, pull out the SD Card, reinstall and download my 1/2 MB of data from the cloud (forcing it to phone storage), then rebooting with the SD back in. IT PUT THE DATA BACK ON THE SD CARD! This is a BIG security risk and now I am looking for a way to prevent it.
So, back to your original thread, any luck?

I am having this issue too, I think it had something to do with going from Blazer ROM (GB) to Paranoid Android (JB), and the difference in the way they handle partitioning the ext SD card

[Q] SM-T2105 Kids - SD Card Help

So I bought one of these Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 kids tablets for my son. He has of course eaten up all the internal memory loading all his games, etc. So I bought him a 32gb mSD card and inserted and formatted it for use. Problem is I cant figure out how to move the apps there and/or make it the default location for any new downloads.
Does this have to be rooted in order to do this? if so can it be rooted so it has the "Kids Mode" as well? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Regarding SD cards..

I'm a tad confused as to why we would want the largest SDXC cards in our Note 8 (any Smartphone actually).
When so many apps tend to go the Internal memory. I know I've only used a couple GBs of my 128gb card ( while currently using 100s of apps:laugh And my son gave me a 256gb card for my B-day. What would be the advantage of using the larger card? And yes both are SDXC cards.
Sincerely, Senior lover of tech...and apps;
More pictures, music, and/or files is all I can think of. I store all of that on my SD card.

You do know that there's actually a way for the apps to run from the SD card right? Go to settings, apps and then go through all the apps you want one by one (tap on calculator for instance and then tap storage and you'll see "Storage used" tap it and choose SD card.) You do have to go through the apps one by one though in order to see which can be moved because some (most) system apps can't be moved to the SD card and also the apps you do move to the SD card do require a little extra time to start after a reboot since the phone needs to first mount the SD card and then run the apps.. I would suggest you do what I do and that's leave the apps you use constantly on the phones memory and the ones you use sparingly put them on the SD card.. Also, an SD card that can transfer quickly is best for this not the cheap SD cards!
Another thing to mention... If you turned on Developer Options, if you scroll all the way to the bottom, you can activate "Force allow apps to external" which will then allow virtually ever app to be transferred over to the external SD card...

Question SD Card not showing transferred games from MicroSD

Hi,
I newly joined this group. I am having an issue and reaching out to you for help.
I've a Samsung A32 4G phone (6GB 128GB version). I purchased a Samsung evo plus 256gb micro sd card and inserted in my phone. After that, I downloaded several FPS games from the play store and installed. By default it was getting installed in the internal memory. Later, I transferred them to SD CARD by choosing storage options in each of the app.
When I look into the SD card contents (i expected to see 9GB of occupied space for the games i downloaded), it is not showing up the games, but when checked in INTERNAL MEMORY, all the games are listed there. When I clicked on each game and verified the storage, it says the game is stored in the SD CARD only. But no idea why it's not seen in the SD CARD.
It's kinda weird. Hence reaching out for your expert advice and guidance in resolving this.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
Prattu
Usually newer games don't have the feature to move files to SDCard. May I ask which games ?
I'm having the same problems but on my s9, I got a brand new 128gb micro sd card to transfer all my games and photos and what not over and its not showing one particular game, Call Of Duty Mobile, I've tried everything and I'm stuck what to do.
