Moving apps to sd card

How would you guys do this? Manually I think its failing me and other apps like tibu don't work :/
I don't know why I bought this sandisk if it isn't hosting my apps.
Thanks

This always happens to me before, like all my apps on SD card randomly uninstall themselves, if I reboot, another one will be uninstalled while the previous is okay.
Usually, I go to settings > Storage > Unmount SDcard > then Mount SDcard afterwards.
This pissed me off so I moved all my apps to the 2gb partition... good thing I cleaned some of it so it occupies about 800mb...

Hm strange titanium backup still won't move but I'll try that app... Thanks
Edit: all app 2 sd does is make me go to the manual screen...

[Q] I can not write to SD card

So i bought a 16 gb class 4 SD card for my galaxy s3. My old 4 gb SD card that I replaced worked great with no fail. This new card however, sometime unmount and remount. Sometime it lets me write to it other time I can only read what I already have on there from it. This is a problem because when I set the sd card as all my media defaults sometime message comes up saying it failed to write to sd card so it changed back to phone memory.....
Anyone know if this is a bad card or if there is anyway I can set things up to make the card work. Thanks ! I have 15 days to replace it.
edit- I tried to look for other related sd issue, but it seems to only be talking about rooted phones. I dont have root and this is my first android so I'm not comfortable going the rooting route just yet.

Have you reformatted the card?

Which do you recommend. Exfat/ fat32 or Ntfs??

I've also had this issue but my fone is rooted. I've had to reformat it at least once a week. I will go to save music or a picture to it and it will say the ext sd card isn't accessible and when I go check it with root explorer instead of folder titled music It will be £usic or something crazy. Then the card will start switching to r/o instead of r/w.
Edit: it meaning the external sd card.

I would go with exfat. And try to format it from the phone not the computer.
If you still have problems try fat32.

Does the card work fine in a pc? What brand is it? What brand is the old card?

[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.

I'm not sure If this slows down gaming and processing because some people are claiming it does. I have a 64gig sandisc micro sd ultra and I haven't noticed it yet.

Ok found one issue with this. When taking a picture the image won't save. When you click on gallery it just disappears, unless you took a burst shot. I don't know if this was just my device or what

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.

Storage issue

Why is my 16 gb T-mobile Note 2 only showing 10 gb? Did i get a defective device, or does this particullar device use 6 gb for system? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Quite a bit is used for the system, and is normal (unfortunately)

You can always buy an sd card, you can add 64gb. At least we have an option to add an sd card. If you need more space there's options.

And if you get a usb OTG cable, you can add a flash drive to add even more storage! I got a 64gb card in the phone and another 64gb flash drive which I've loaded with music and videos.

I was looking for an easy way to do this because I am lazy. Saw scripts and stuff but that seemed like work.I tried this, but I am not certain it works, at least not well. I ran it, and it says it ran successfully, but the device memory didn't change at all. Same amount taken up by applications, same available space over all.
However, I did try to move the apps back and forth again to test this, so maybe it moved once, but then refused to move any more. Not sure...

Do I have to have a rooted phone in order to move stuff to my sd card? This is insane that u can't move apps or music to an sd card. WHY would Samsung do that?

They are probably not transferring because they don't run properly from the external sd. There's plenty of room for apps in the internal.

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?

Apps that need root to work.
Such apps are titanium backup

Sent from my GT-N7000

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.
