Noob Note 3 storage clarification and install errors

Hi,

Ive just been handed a Note3, 4.1.2, gt-n2700 for work, never having even barely used an Android device before, although i know my way around win phones.

Of course ive just installed a ton of free apps, assuming i would have lots of space, but am now getting install errors quoting lack of install space - Ive 200mb left of 2gb space. Now the phone says it also has 11gb of USB storage (no idea where from, this is how it was given to me), and the phone is listing a few apps as already being there, as well as on the 2gb space, but not taking up room.

Ive read i can move apps to SD, but it says no SD is installed (so assume this 11gb is not an SD card?), and i dont have the option to choose "move to USB storage"

Is it possible to allot some of this USB storage to the main install 2gb partition?

Or to allw me to move apps to the USB storage?

Finally, if someone suggest a flash (i should have really known to check how old OS was and do this first), is there an easy way to do a full backup

and re-install as have jest spent hours getting everything setup...

Wow, really? How can you tell? It has a working stylus and everything about it seems pretty solid (well in so far as all Samsungs ive had are).

Will a photo or something cobfirm for certain?

Sheesh.... well it's stull a fairly decent device so far as any fakes ive seen are concerned! If they had sorted the storage then this would be as good as the real thing, seems amazing they put this much effort in to not finish the job! Lol

Will inform the boss and the seller...

I also just found a spare 2gb micro SD which isnt being recognised. It came from a Windows phone though so might it just need fornatting on a PC or Linux box in Fat32, or can i just expect that not to work either?

Are there any forums dedicated to these fake devices then also..?

Have just read this and my pen works perfectly, with hover action and button gestures.

Are the fakes doing the pens now as well? Hmmm....

fair enough... I don't want to go on about it, but there also seem to be a of videos / reviews for the GT-N7000 on youtube:

I have also just plugged it into a PC, and the USB storage is browseable, and a real 10.9GB


is there a real cut and dried test of it being fake (e.g. serial number etc.?) - this thing genuinely seems too good in performance and all other aspects to be a fake - are they really this good? sorry but new to Notes and Android, and am genuinely suprised!

Correct - sorry about the initial typo, it is in fact a Note1 and this is confirmed with the Spec Device app. I was told incorrect model.

So, now i know it real but just a diferent device, I will take my query off to the correct forum...!
