Storing photos to external storage - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

So i have tmobile samsung note 2 I recently updated to 4.3 and have a few questions.
When it was running 4.1.2 I was able to set the camera storage to external, after the update it automatically reverts back to
Internal storage. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Also in gallery when I try to move the photos to external it says "it cannot move because it exist already" even though does not. Help?
Thanks all

Anyone?

I believe there is a xposed mod, although I don't use them, that allows you to save to the sd. Also the Lenovo super camera allows

[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

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.

Works for me

Remember it should say your external is now your internal. So if it's going to the new internal that's good

when i run it, it says: mounting X failed: no such file or directory
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.

Gallery won't show pictures

For some reason my gallery will not show pictures that are on my memory card. I have unmounted and reset the phone and still they will not show up. When I go into my file manager they still show up but they won't show up under gallery

I also have the same issue the sd card is a sandisk 64gb it works perfectly in other devices sometimes when i mount/unmount or cycle the phone power on and off (i have tried all kinds of things) sometimes it will come back for a while and then just quit for no reason when it is not showing any files it still shows in the settings as mounted and shows the size and free space correctly but says there are no files however i try to read it (ie the file browser, gallery, etc)

Is there a way to set default media storage to ExtSdCard for all downloads?

Hi
I'm sorry if someone already asked this (tried searching but didn't find the exact same question).
Is it possible to set a default storage location for all apps downliads/pictures? I know how to do it in camera and some apps have a setting option for this. But I've uninstalled many apps (wallpapers etc) simply because I'm too frustrated with transferring files manually.
For example, my instagram saves pictures to device memory and it really bothers me...
Thanks a lot!

Thanks so much for the link. However, I'm not trying to move apps to sd card because I don't have that many apps. And I don't really want to root my device.
I want to set all app downloads to sd card. Some apps have a setting for that but some don't.
Thanks anyway!

You can use directory bind, but sorry still you needs root to use it.

Is this normal? Storage ?

Am I missing some memory? Shouldnt I have more available then 3.5? Is this normal guys I thought this phone has 16gb internal?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
You got one of the recall S4's probably. Shake the phone and see if you hear something rattle, if so thats the missing memory. Take it back to the store for recall replacment
Some of that 16gb is dedicated to the "system" (Rom and pre installed app)

You didnt happen to use CWM to back up, did you? If so, theres your problem.

Most likely the other part of you answer. Although its a 16gb device only around half of it is usable storage. Still after flashing a ROM I tend to have 7+GB available. Backups take a big chunk. 2.5 - 3gb and by default store internally. Move these to an external SD and select external as default storage on next backup. I actually have a separate 32gb thumb drive+ otg cable with a backup from multiple ROMs. And I select the USB otg option. Keeps my on board SD cards clean.

How to save images and videos to sdcard?

Hello, it seems that all the photos and videos taken by the default camera app are saved to the internal memory. How do I set the save directory to sdcard? Thanks.
Go in the cam settings and select sd card ?

Thanks but the Storage option is dimmed and defaulted to Device. I am using 4.3 without root.
