There are already so many threads about this.
But with all due respect, this is rather big messup, for such minor update, at least for people who do use sd cards. I have over 20 apps installed on SD cards and fix requires root, so if I get legal update either many programs don't work anymore or I root and loose Knox warranty? Neither solution is acceptable.

I fully agree with you. And, I don't want to sound like a teacher, but this proved that reading before doing is very wise.

I agree with you too, but Samsung sold more than 10.5 mln Note3. XDA have 5.5 mln members, so even assuming every member here have Note3, what about the remaining 5 mln Note owners, probably not even aware XDA exists? If I had official update, I would probably update without giving it much thought, or reading around and if many of my programs wouldn't work I would be really pissed and most likely sending it back for service. Am I the only one thinking this is not acceptable and maybe I should write a letter to Google and Samsung what I think about it? And what could possibly be a reason for this mess? Anybody knows, why would they change permissions just like that? Many of my programs installed on SD without my input, some use it for cache and probably most wouldn't work anymore.

it's not a problem that will be "magically" fixed by Samsung... it's a new feature of Android 4.4...
A new permission needs to be added to the app... so it's up to the app developer to add the needed permission.

hi,
the new update to E S explorer a day or 2, back fixed this issue .!.
so just check that you got latest update of E S explorer ( if you use it Google play store )
otherwise just use Samsungs onboard " my files "explorer
and yes it is not a Samsung" thing" but Android ( Google ) Kitkat.
good luck

post #1, by manteenf ,you will have better idea what permission ( is in question here ?)
( plse note ,his solution is for root users )
good luck

Thank you for an answer but I know about it. What I'm asking is different. People claim that it's new kitkat feature so the developers have to add it to their software to adjust it to 4.4.2. But what I really see it's actually Samsung screwed up and third party developer can't to nothing to overpass it.

It's not Samsung that screwed up... Others are also having the same problem on non Samsung devices...

Permissions that specifically need to be added for kitkat if you want to access all the sd card are WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

The latest ES Explorer works fine. So, it's fixable from developer side.
