[Q] Apps to SDCard - Galaxy Note 2

I assume you did install an sd card. So what problem are you having with apps like Apps2Sd? Did you go to settings/applications and move them there?

What size sd card did you put in??

64GB.. I don't think small will work too.. As I am seeing such problem with other users and even with S 3 users too..

Any solution for this?

I have tried 8GB card too still not working.

Well the more I read the more I see others having the same issue and may be a Jelly Bean issue.
"The ability is taken out in devices launched with ICS/JB, devices updated to ICS/JB still have the ability to move apps to SD it seems"

I think you can still do it if your rooted though with Link2SD . Anybody else care to chime in??
May make me change my mind about the 16GB version.
BUT, I am pretty sure 16 GB is plenty of internal space for apps!

ATM the only solution is directory bind, bund I haven't tried it as I find it cumbersome to use from reading users' input on this thread:

No way

After trading-in a Note I in exchange for a Note II, I had to return my Note II to the store, and did the same a week later with my S III.

I see no point at all having a device that just a week after purchase showed the message: "not enough memory to update your apps".

After lots of reading and asking the techs from the store, I found there is no solution, since this is currently a Samsung desition to block this option completely out on their new models, furthermore, they even say it has been done on Google's request.

So wellcome back my HD2.

It's a shame, i'll stay away from Samsung products as far as I can.

Regards.

What a pitty! They offered me going back to an S-II or a Note-I, at store price of course, paying the overprice from what I got from my old traded-in unit.
Buying a phone is becoming quite a "case of study" where you have to be extra carefull, since you really don't know what you're buying until you have it for a few days, and then i's too late.....

Rom toolbox also has the option of app2sd. You can tell it to send all new apps to the sd card after its downloaded.

I get low memory errors on my current EVO & hate it. Is there really no reasonable solution? So far the only options offered in the US are 16GB models..? WTF Samsung?

Titanium Backup

I use Titanium Backup to move my apps to my 64GB SD card on my GN2 with no issues at all.

Yes but is that on the SGNII or the S2 (in your sig.) - apps2sd works on the S2 anyway

16Gb Not enough???

I dont understand why you guys are worried. You dont think 16GB is enough to store apps. Besides any apps that require additional content download usually go to sd anyway.

My phone (currently) is a second child entertainer - ipad being no.1 ATM, whilst in the car etc - this requires a vast quantity of video (not a prob. With a 64GB ext micro sd sitting on my desk awaiting a suitable wrapping) and games - usually only the 50M cheap/free games, but the kids are getting older - games more complex - use much more space AND I have a son and a daughter - so need boys & girls games. The 16 GB Will not have enough space (my ipad has 24GB of these!)

But I thought about it (after looking a what I actually need)

My main reason for buying SNGII is for work - Internet access, in pocket books, logbook of Procedures done at work, basic office document viewer/editor - the 16GB will be fine for these. (Ipad was good but too big & heavy)

Second reason is really good deals by three for tethering - so I can drop my ipad 3G sim (saving £15 per month), again 16GB good for this - we use the ipad a lot when camping (wife can't miss x-factor)

Third reason is for a better GPS than my tiny iPhone 3GS (on its last legs - will be retired to iPod mode in car) - 16GB ok for this - but on device maps will needs to be on SD

Forth, a camera - again 16GB ok as can set to store on external SD (except bursts - but presume you can move these later)

Fifth - a note taker - this is actually joint 1st - miss my old WM phones (XDA Exec, Toshiba L something etc) and the stylus - notes are only stored on the internal - as I expect these are small file sizes I "should" be ok with 16GB

Sixth - a sketch book - I love to sketch - presume sketchbook pro etc will allow ext SD storage



For all the above I think a 16 GB will be fine, HOWEVER:

- Many of the medical Apps have large DBs - hopefully these will be extSD mountable

- I might run out of game space


The solution I have come up with (and my wife has agreed - surprisingly her idea - well she thinks it was) is Christmas: 2x nexus 7 32GB (due out soon?) one for each child (no ipad mini - the original plan for the kids by wife - STUPID PRICES) - kids tried the nexus out in shops and loved them (because they are better) - so I get some space back!

So.........I'm probably going for a 16GB in the end - it will save me money (currently £36 all you can eat O2 plus £15 10GB 3 contract) by only costing £69 one off plus £36 pm all you can eat, including tethering - 2 yr contract

If I run out of space, I'll root and either swap internal for external or directory bind

I'd get the 32GB right now in a heart beat, samsung would get more money, google would get more money (more space for more apps) but hey ho.

Figure, based on GNI & SGIII that the 32GB will be far away and more expensive. If it turns out it comes sooner, or the 64 come out and I'm struggling for space, I'll sell on eBay and upgrade (tho its more likely I'll wait for the SGNIV!) - if I do game it's usually on ipad anyway ATM.

Took a little while for me to get there, and I'll be gutted if the 32 comes out next week! But I think I've made a decision - probably!

(Please note: I'm not an apple OR android fan boy - I just choose what suits my needs the best - I do like to tinker so am looking forward to android)

Guess what's the next big thing.....
