[Q] Moving failed for files internal memory(sdcard) to external memory(ExtsdCard)

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...

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

[Q] A few questions about this phone

Hey guys, i bought my Galaxy Grand a few days ago and i'm a bit confused with some things.
First of all, i really need to root my phone to move large apps to my SD card?
There is any side effect of using the method mentioned before in this forum? (ext2int if i'm not wrong)
Now i'm using a small sd card (4gb, but i'm going to buy a 16gb class 10 soon), if i change my internal storage to use my sd card i'll still be able to install things into the phone memory?
Could someone point out a tutorial please.
And about rooting, i saw to methods here in the forum, wich one is the best?
There is any difference between the firmware for GT - I9082 and GT - I9082L when trying to flash a pre rooted one?
Last question, i tried the epic citadel benchmark in my phone and a lot of artifacts showed up in my screen, it is a problem with my phone or its application fault?
Thanks in advance.
i rooted mine right after it arrived. i did not use ext2int after all. i find it rather confusing that i cannot replace my sd card.
i am finde with the internal memory. even after installing some bigger games. so i cannot comment on the advantages disadvantages.
i can tell you to not take the 9082L versions if you are having a 9082 phone.
the rooting method in this forum works fine and is not harming your phone.

1.Yes, your phone HAS to be rooted to move apps.
2. NO side effects, just swaps your int and ext memory so i reccomend a 32 gb ext sd card.
3. For example,In large games, the data will be stored in android/data which is in the phone memory. But after swapping, your phone memory size will be of the size of your sd card, so no issue of space.
4. Rooting- USE CHOTU'S GUIDE(SEARCH THE FORUM)
Rom- k2wl or balli's rom(SEARCH THE FORUM).
PLS HIT THANKS IF I HELPED!!!

You mentioned two roms in your answer, do i need to flash one of those or can i just flash de Su binaries + CWM and install super su?
May I answer you? He suggested the 2 deodexed roms if you are interested on flashing mods. Just having root is enough for using ext2int or titanium backup for example but you need deodexed to use mods.

I wanna ask, since 3+ Gig free space for games + apps. If I mounted sdcard and install apps+games, will it goes to external sdcard? Because new phone up to Galaxy Note 2 will not having the features move to sd. Plus, for that particular phone, internal memory is not a problem as they having at leave 11Gig.

Thanks for the reply! I'm interested in swapping memory cards as its quite troublesome to keep moving game data. Is there any way to save the location where the data has been shifted to.
It shifts data to sdcard/obb folder

But is there any way to swap the cards as I'm not interested in moving every game one by one? Also if i use gl to sd will i have to bring games from my ext sd card back to my int and then use it?

Any way to avoid bringing the data from ext sd to int sd and then using gl sd. Can we somehow change directly from int sd?

use folder mount app to move apps to sd... its the best app as my suggestion ..
use install manager
Backup your sd card on PC and partition your sd card and then use links to sd to transfer apps to sd card
But, remember your sd card will get formatted if you partition your sd card

Trouble after trying Swap CM11 using scripts

Few days ago I tryied to increase the 4.4 gb of memory of my CM11 grand duos using a script of a CM 11 S duos (that worked for that phone) and SURPRISE... now my system recognize 2 sd cards: sdcard0 and sdcard1. Because of that any stuff I try to install directly in sd card goes to internal memory and I get to transfer it manually to the correct SD Card. I would like to some gentlemen help me with sending the original script (the one that when you make the change for swapping) for starting from zero, I mean to let it the way it have to be (or the way Developer want it to be)! Thank you all very much!!
