Hey guys, I just bought the tab yesterday and found that I was not able to move the compatible apps to the SD card (internal sd)
When I try to move it says:
failed to move application. No sd card.
Btw, I have the tab with only the 16g internal memory, no external sd card inserted.
Sorry for the noob question, hove u guys cn help...

Evidently you need an external sd card for app2sd to work, but you really need it?
You got 2gb of internal memory for the apps, it should be enough for an huge amount of applications

Yes ur correct, 2g is definetly enough...
Just curious if there's a problem with my tab..
Just wondering if theres a way to have it move to the internal sd...
Thanks for your help...

Hi, i have rooted Galaxy tab 2 7.0, but i cant move apps to external SD card. Link2SD or GL to SD dont work. Which app allows me to move apps to sd card?
Try directory bind from this forum

yes, i tried this app, but it doesnt work. When i open it, i see black screen.
So i haven't been able to find anything about this topic and maybe i am just weird but because of how the note 2 sets up the storage it doesn't support apps to sd. Maybe i just use way too may apps but i have already filled the internal storage and have a blank 32gb class 10 sd card just being un used in my phone. I want to know if there is a hack to make the phone read the sd card as internal storage where everything gets stored and then i can use the internal storage for pictures and files cause i don't have many of those.

Root and use directory bind to move directories from internal to external. Will free up a lot of space.

So apparently since the android Jelly Bean update you can no longer move apps from the internal sd card to the external sd card. BULL**** (forgive my french) this is ridiculous why would they get rid of that feature? The 16gb s4 actually only has roughly 9ish gigs. That's not enough space if you download the big games nowadays. Has anybody found a workaround for this? Unfortunately you can't even use the app2sd app. I have a 32gb sd card waiting to be filled with apps so if anybody knows a workaround I would really appreciate the help! Also I would prefer not to have to root my phone.

Download gl to SD from play store, you can move any data to external SD, just follow the directions.

Sadly I dont think rooting can even help... the sd slot just seems like they added it so people would buy the phone atleast thats why I got this in stead of the iphone..
DirectoryBind

Here's the app that you need. Move any data to external_sd.
DirectoryBind - move data to external_sd (GameLoft, Shadowgun etc.) ROOT req.

EDIT: OOPS!!! DirectoryBind doesn't work on 4.2.2
(I'm still using it on my S2 w/Gingerbread. Waiting on the 32gb or 64gb S4.)
Have to use this instead:
[APP][ROOT] FolderMount - Link folders from internal SD to external to free space

Thats because they're installed to it automatically. Before when you moved to sd the apps moved from inernal to internal sd card, which is where apps installed on the s4. Ext-sd is your memory card you insert on back of phone. Stock app manager has never been able to move apps to ext-sd only sd card. Titanium back up and other apps can though. So remeber if you inserted a sd card in back you have three storage places. Internal, internal sd, ext-sd. Apps install to the 16 gig automatically on the s4.

OK, I'm not a full-on geek (e.g. I do not want to root my device), still I'm pretty savvy, but I don't understand what you've said here.
I just updated from a Samsung Stratosphere (Android 2.3.6) to Stratosphere 2 (4.1.2), so I'm now acclimating to JellyBean.
I moved my SD card from the Strat to the Strat 2 and can see in the File Manager the sdcard0 and the exSdCard.
You are saying that in addition to my inserting an actual, physical SD card, there is both internal storage and additional built-in storage (sdcard0)?
Three separate storage areas?
The "main" internal is for the OS?
The built-in SD is for apps?
And my additional external SD is for data (e.g. video, music, etc.?)
I'm confused because, while the phone is still zipping along smoothly, Settings/Storage is telling me that, in 24 hours, I've already gobbled up 4.3 GB of my 8 GB device memory, > 3 GB of this being "miscellaneous" files.
Meanwhile, my application mgr tells me I have used 1.1 GB with 3.7 GB remaining.
Mind you, I am not a heavy app user (e.g. Evernote, my bank's app, NY Times, Dropbox, a few simple games), so what took a 3 GB chomp of my internal memory. For the life of me, I can't remember how I did it, but I did move all "consumer" data (e.g. documents, video, photos, etc.) to be stored on the extSD but, in 24 hours, I don't have that much to store.
Bottom line, are we non-rooters slaves to the internal (SD?) memory for our apps?
Hi,
I was just wondering whether it would be possible to set the default "storage /sdcard" path to be the ext Sd instead of the sdcard (which is the phone's internal memory). It does detect the card but still saves most things automatically to the internal Sd card.. Any ideas? I have a 64gb SanDisk ultra card

There is already a thread on this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257460
Yes, I know it is for the i9500, but the storage is essentially the same, so when the mod is released, it should work on both phones. On the last page in that thread there is a link to the original int2exsd thread and there are some posts suggesting the gs4 is nearing having a working mod. Patience is a virtue, the phone is still fairly new.
