not currently possible (at least not stock, im not sure if a custom rom will allow it). google and samsung keep pointing fingers at each other as to who's fault it is, but ive heard reports of other devices with ICS having the function, so its probably samsungs fault...

Definitely Samsung's fault, spoke with a technician from Samsung....

So what is everyone using to move apps to external sd? This is driving me crazy if not pissed.. never had internal storage problems on my g2 with minimal storage... can't believe Samsung is selling these phones with no choice to put apps on your external sd card.

Do you have anyway to connect it to a pc or another device to see if it isnt just your particular device.

Yes I do.

I have to delete the etc/init.d/ but I can't. Tried using es explorer as well

How is this even possible? I would think this is a very serious problem if it can happen naturally. Could you please advise how to prevent this from happening?

too little info. tell what u run. Reflash to stock if cannot solve.

Running V.03 btw. Max Lee set it up for it to switch for some reason. I just downloaded root explorer and that let me delete that file so I rebooted and it switched back! For anyone who had the same problem here is your solution.

if you read the info for the program you are trying to use you would see it states it doesn't work with Samsung phones (specifically calls out the S3, which has alot in common with the Note II)
I'm surprised the Note doesn't have a native solution for moving apps to external storage? i could have sworn it's been a feature since ICS.... or maybe I'm forgetting something.

So is there any way currently to transfer apps to sd cards on a Samsung device?

At the moment the only solution seems to be rooting. It's stopping me from buying the SGNII until larger internal memory released OR a non-root solution is found. Apparently, it's Jellybean that stops it not actually the phone - just what I've read.

Apps to SD

I found out the note 2 doesn't support apps 2 SD and that kinda bums me out cause I filled up my 16g almost overnight.. If I flash another rom, could I then gain apps 2 SD ability? Sorry if this is a basic question but I'm always learning and I've never come across this before. Thanks!

Flashing a custom rom won't change anything expect one which integrates a specifid mod. (but outdated)
You can use other solutions and this depends on the rom you use (TW or AOSP).

You can use several solutions. One is directory Bind, this let's you move individual files to your sd card.
Another option is the memory swap mod. This basically folks your phone into using your sd card as it's storage solution.
You can flash some custom roms with this mod baked in

I'm using directory bind and it works flawlessly but folder mount might be a slightly better option as it is compatible with 4.2 and 4.3 roms while directory bind isn't

Insufficient Internal Storage Space

I know this is not a new issue but I thought with the new android 4.3 update and the ability to move apps to our sd card it would have been a thing of the pass.
I'm on Jovi's 4.3 update and I am not able to download all the apps I want to, ( apps that I had on my s3 no problem) and I am also not able to update a few apps in my play store.
Am I missing something here, is there something I'm not doing correctly?

I had a similar issue I had found that my back up I made in cwm was 4.5 gigs which didn't leave me enough room for apps I moved the file from internal sd to ext sd havent had that problem come back
