[Q] Not able to move Apps to the SD card

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...

[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...

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

[Q] Major Issue with phone!!

Having an issue with my T-Mobile S4. Starting yesterday after resetting my phone freezes up after I insert an SD Card into it. I leave the SD Card out and the phone runs fine, pop in an SD Card and it freezes up after about 5 minutes. I have reset the phone completely and I am still having the same issue. I have tried different SD Cards that I have and the issue still happens on each SD Card. I originally was using a 64 GB sd card and I transferred the files to each SD Card, so my question is, is it possible that a file on the SD Card is corrupted and causing this issue or is there something else going on? I have a lot of other things I could try to do to narrow it down I know but I figured I'd throw this up there to see if anyone has had this issue also.

Have you ever tried to remove the SDCARD and plug it into a card reader or into the computer and copy all files and folders
from the card to an empty folder on your computers desktop.
After that format the 64GB microsd using FAT32 in your Windows computer.
Then put it back into the phone as a blank empty sdcard.
Then check out the phone and see if it has any issues with the sdcard. Chances are excellent that doing that will fix the problem.
If it does you can copy all the files and folders from your computer back to the sdcard in the phone.
Good luck!

I have 2 64gb sandisk 10x microsd with Samsung S4 I9005 with Android 4.3. I formatted with android, also Windows 7 64bit with various types of sizes on laptop. However on laptop or on phone after writing some files and disk scanning, it gives many disk errors. Even after scancheck and correcting it.The errors repeat each time. I wonder if it is software or microsd hardware problems. There is no problem with 32 gb sandisk microsd.

me too on s4 (i9505) after updating to 4.3 maybe cud be a knox prob as the app is working fine on all 4.3 devices such as htc one and on nexus 5 (kitkat 4.4)

I had that issue once but it went away after I ejected microSD card, rebooted, inserted microSD, then launched Folder Mount. I also had boot-loop issues at the time but Autorun Manager helped me solve that problem (some Gameloft game was trying to start up before SD card & FolderMount could do their thing).

i have that issue too, i had used foldermount and it worked fine, but then i reseted my phone, HTC Desire 310 and then FM was sayin extsdcard permission error, then i clicked on attempt to patch my rom and now when i try to move app it move it but it cannot mount, set pin green, donno what is problem

Cant format sd card

Hello everyone,
I have a galaxy note 2 currently with DN4_v2.1_by_E-Team and clockwork recovery.
Today I created a new folder in my SD and when the folder was created it filled with some files that had weird symbols for names . Details of the folder said that its size was 145 GB , my SD is 16 GB.
So I tried to delete the folder but could not at the beginning , finally I did it. Then I noticed an app with the same symbols and some of my apps that where in the SD would not open.
I deleted the app and then all my apps that where in SD would not load. I did a wipe, factory reset and tried to format the SD card . The SD card was locked I could not delete or write anything. I tried flashing the rom again with the same SD card (probably a bad idea) but I could not write in the SD. I tried to format the SD with an adapter but it says that windows couldnt complete the format, I run Windows 10 btw. I checked the adapters write protection and tried a couple of applications , I tried diskpart from the windows cmd and scanned with 2 different antiviruses. I am out of ideas .
Any suggestions ? or should I throw the SD card away and go buy a new one ?

I think you should buy a new sd card.
