thanks

anyone kindly help.
according to the internet there is no option for this on the s2 latest firmware 4.1.2 and have to wait for samsung to update it
please can someone clarify this or help me out?

Have you tried apps2sd from the Play store? If not there is always installing a custom Rom.

This is a tutorial how to move them without root. Haven't tried it myself and it has a warning about galaxy devices not working well, but it's worth a rt if you are against rooting.

I have rooted and installed a custom rom. I still have not been able to crack the code on how to install apps to ext sd card. I know there has to be away. I feel the pain of everyone with a Tab 3 7.0. I would have never thought that such a simple option would be disabled.

no point in rooting it then if you cant do it. i have also researched that everyone with a tab 7" have same problem BUT the 10" is fine and so is the tab 2. we got him the tab 3 cos they came down in price so seemed pointless getting him the tab 2..
Think ill get onto samsung and find out whats they plan on doing,otherwise we'll have to take it back if nothing can be done. He's moaning he's low on memory and cant use his ext sd card

My guess is that this has something to do with Google's policy of only supporting internal memory.
It got pretty obvious with SD card "bug" on the 4.3 update for the GS4.

If you root can't you just swap the EXT SD card with the internal one ? or is the not supported on Tab3 7.0, that way the app and game data can be stored on SDcard (this is useful if you're son is playing Games that require a lot of external space, e.g. Modern combat 4 or NFS Most wanted)
Just a suggestion, if this wont work then i will most likely be taking my tab3 back aswell.

Just download app2sd for a temporary option until devs figure out another way

How is using that app a temporary option?

Because devs (developers) are trying tomfind a way to move apps from internal to external sd card or the opposite so as for now people use this app but you can't move any app sadly

Ok thank you as I was gonna root it but if I don"t have to to use this app to move stuff to sd and a rooting it doesn't help that then it's kind of pointless I guess unless there is some cool roms out there

Software upate

My unit is GT-N7105. I discover that About device -> Update states that Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available. What does it mean as it is a brand new unit and bought it yesterday? How can I update the future firmware? Thanks
Did you rooted your device? If so then that is the reason.
You can still download the updates from sammobile. Com and flash it via odin...
Fired From My FireDevice
No, I did not do and I bought it from electrcal shop with Samsung seal.
I had the same thing, what I realised is that the ext sd card that I put into the phone still had all the files from my s3 on it including super su etc. I removed the sd card and status went back to unmodified and I could do ota updates. Dunno if that's the case for you.

I can confirm I have the same problem with my note 2. It seems it is because of the memory card. I had a bRand new SanDisk 64Gb one and one day I had the same message. Unfortunately I formated my phone and my card just to find out it was because of the card. I don't know why it does that but I'm sure it is the card. May be more people should try and check and report?

I did use my mSD card of my SGS2 on this new unit. Once I removed it, it changes to Normal Status. How can I use a mSD card on Note 2? Do I need to format it by Note 2?
Does Rooting block access to OTA updates if the official ROM isn't changed?

[Q] need help, cant change roms

Im sorry, i know this topic has come up a thousand timed but i still have found no solid answer. I am on Wicked rom right now. I went into recovery to flash the new rom but team recovery wont show the zip files on my sd card. After trying some other things and different sd cards now i have noticed nothing including root explorer wont see zip files. sometimes it will show pictures or music but not usually. usually the phone wont even see the card at all. iI have heard everything from reformat to the springs that hold the card are worn and need to be bent back to class 10 (which is what I used since i got it) wont work with the s3 to 64 gigs wont work. My phone is starting to act up and I really want to try a new rom ( not that I dont love the Wicked rom) just want to try something else and also hope to get rid of the bugs im starting to get. is there a way to flash a rom without an sd card installed or has anyone figured out the problem yet with the sd card issues? Again, sorry if this has been answered but I've spent hours trying to figure this out. Thanks for any help and I'll be sure to hit "thanks"
it is possible to flash a rom within your internal storage.
Now I have a 32gb sd and it reads fine dont know what class though.
I used cwm and the other recovery from goomanager their good so it might just be you're sd card hardware thingy,
If i were you I would ask to give you another s3 under warrenty because thats not normal bro lol as far as the rom goes... I havent used wicked but im sure it should be able to read you're sd no problem.
And this should of gone to the Q&A section but hey.... you win some.... you lose some......but you live!......you live to fight another day!

sd card not working on new builds??

so i have like a generic (i guess) sdcard
it has no real branding on it other than "micro sd HC 16gb C4"
and recently i flashed PA3.6 and it worked fine i had pics music everything on it
but than i flashed illusion build 6/8 and i got a "preparing sd card" notification normal right til it said "sdcard removed"
and repeated that a few times til i removed the sd card
it seems anything other than PA3.6 (given idk the build date of that honestly)
but anything build after 6/7 is giving me issues
i flash cm10 rc5 nothing
aokp nothing
PA3.6 works fine -_-
but here the part im stuck at ok if my sdcard was was gonna die or something it wouldnt work in PA
but also it works on any 4.1.2 rom i flash
new 4.2.2 i cant get it to mount
ive formated it 4 times on my pc in fat32 i even tryed exfat nothing and if i boot to recovery no matter the rom i flash it will read the sdcard
i flashed all those roms from my 16gb sdcard they flash fine than boot and wont mount ...
its killing me here any ideas??
ive formatted and ran diskchecks scaned it and all nothing seems wrong with the sd card .. i thought maybe the reader so i took my dads 2gb sd card from his phone nope worked on those roms fine
its only those roms and my 16 card.
help please .. i feel im going in circles i even asked some devs and they even seems confused
.. im lost any help would be thanked
Go to sdcard.org and try their sd card formatter. Also try formatting it from the phone itself while on a build that works.

ill try the site but ive done that to and i just learned it seems ALL 4.2.2 roms OTHER THAN PA wont work -_-
this sd card man
the websites formater wont even format it -_-
it says unsupported
Do you mean it won't work in any 4.2.2 roms, or it will?
Only other thing I can think of to try is to partition the card with gparted. Doubt it'd do anything, but you never know.
If I think of anything else to try ill post it, but for now that's all I've got. Sorry.

I agree. They can start acting very strange when they start to go.
Avoid any unbranded or generic ones. I always stick to samsung and kingston personally. Always had great results with both. (Just make sure you're buying from a certified seller. Otherwise no guarantee it won't be a cheap knock off)

Kit Kat CND1 losing SD card

I have two cards. A Samsung 32GB class 10 and a Sandisk microSDXC ultra 64GB
Both cards were tried, both formatted in FAT32 as well as ExFat and tried sdformatter.
BUT my galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition with CND1 (Columbia Kit Kat) after some hours of use, loses the SD card.... It cannot see it until a couple of reboots.
Do you think its because of a bad flash? Should I try CND2?
Opinions please

If you are rooted , just install "Folder mount" , it will cure your ext. sd problem.

unfortunately im not rooted as i want to keep the warranty (already used it twice for screen and battery replacement)
I just flashed the US Kit kat via odin, did a factory reset and can only hope the problem goes away. Do you think it may be a hw fault? Anybody else had similar issues?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that with kit kat you can't put stuff on a SD card anymore unless you use a SD fix.If you look around forum there is some information about it. I think you also need to be rooted but might be wrong about that. I think there is a app in market called SD fix.

Incorrect. You can use also with KitKat and unrooted as before. The only restriction is that downloaded apps can write only in their own app directory. And this all have nothing to do with the recognizion of the sd-card.

Until now, I didn't see that someone had a related problem.
I hope for you that it was a bad flash. Otherwise I would try to clean the caches and then a reflash but here also clean the cashes. And normally it is better to remove sd-cards before a flash but I also didn't do it.
I performed a factory reset, cleared cache, then flashed the US Kit Kat, again factory reset. Everything works... but after a 15 minute music listening or just out of the blue, the SD card (tried a Samsung formated FAT32) is not responding.
I don't think its a hardware issue, because this time under "storage" i can see the card. However I cannot play anything from it and if I unmount and re-mount it says that the file system is not supported or the card is damaged.
This is soooooo weird and disturbing....

[Q] swap internal and external cards????

sorry if its been asked before, but i havnt found any working solution for kitkat as of yet.
ive tried ever commands i know was working in 4.3, 4.2.2 and erlier, but aint got it to work.
so if anyone get this working i would like to know, as im sitting here with my 128Gb SD card and only 16Gb to install games and GPS and other on, that aint working good google, time to change the android security?

I don't know about swapping but in settings, storage, make more space, you can move stuff to SDCard.

Yeah, but don't want to disturb em' with pm.
So hoping some one is able to reply t to this thread with a solution. I'm open to try most things...as I've seen other brands running 4.4.2 with this kind of mod.
And I'm sure many of you out there is also interested in this as it bumps the internal memory from 16 Gb up to 128 Gb.
Any luck?
No nobody seems to know how to for the one with KitKat
I've also interested to expand internal memory.
