May be a silly question but I can't seem to find the answer. Does anyone know how to get the s-note storage for the notes onto the external sd? Mine only stores internally and since it doesn't sync automatically with ever note or Google I was trying to find an auto backup.
Running beans/persons
Thanks!

Hi all,
I've been using my Galaxy S2 for a few weeks, and finally decided my 16gb SD card was not quite big enough. I bought a 32gb card and used my PC to transfer everything from the small card to the large one. Then, I placed the new card in my phone and booted up.
Everything seemed ok, but then I noticed that I now have two of every media folder in my gallery app.
My first thought was that the folders and pictures must have gotten deplicated in the transfer process, but I checked with root explorer, and there is only one of each folder on the card.
Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
Thanks,
-Matt

Hey Matt
I think the reason your seeing duplicates of everything is because with android they store everything on the pre-installed sd card you can try to delete the old ones but make sure you make a backup before you do anything.

don't delete anything.
Go to the media storage application under manage applications (in settings) and clear the cache for that app. You may need to reboot. then check the gallery to see if the duplicates are still there.
This happened to me a while back.
That was one of the first things I tried, but the clear cache button is greyed out. Should I try clearing the data from that app?

yes, clear data. that should work. that's actually what i meant before.
Hope it works.
I searched and could not find an answer to this:
On this phone you have the option to move your Apps to phone storage. Will doing this cause slower loading times like it used to on phones that allowed you move a portion if the space used by apps to the sd card? What are the disadvantages to moving your apps to.phone storage?
Thanks

Also why u need a2sd don't u have enough on phone storage?
No it's proper sand disk I think from ebuyer, well I have about 10 apps and I have around 250-300mb left just wanted to free some up as when I install n.o.v.a 3 it's like 2.gb and that installs to whine storage aswell not sd. I think I've read that none if the apps to sd work yet for sgs3 :/

There's plenty of open topics about this. Search for them.
Basically Samsung intended the internal, external cards and dropbox to work as one big storage for all apps, app data and user files... or something like that.
So they disabled the Move To SD option in the app manager. Unfortunately it doesn't quite work like they intended and the external SD is practically useless as most apps (99%) can't read or write to it.
I'm reading around now to see if anything new happened but it's looking grim.
This thread should be closed.
Any updates on this? I still want to move my App Data to the external SD card. In this way my new SGS3 is even worse than my Galaxy Y -.-
as far as I know it does not work with S3. maybe an update coming soon

you cant do it again. samsung wont allow this option anymore. you can close this thread
It works. It requires some handywork though on the shelll.
maybe there will be a noob friendly mod soon for those that want to use .sd card for apps?

I'm just hoping for a custom Rom with App moving, UMS mode and fixed user dictionary so I'm not having to patch up the f**k ups that Samsung made and have it all built in like it should be.

bump. having same issue.
Hey guys I've noticed an issue with the phone reading slash showing duplicates I'd certain files...namely music, mp3's. I use Dropbox for most of my file storage, this my music files are stored there. I used the Dropbox app to download about 10 mp3's by "export(ing) to external sd." Once I went into the stock music app (yeah I use stock lol) it showed exactly two of each of the files I added. Nowhere on my external sd are they duplicated, only one of each, I also searched the internal sd and didn't find any of said files there.... Finally, once I used stock file manager app to delete the music files giving me the issue, upon going back into stock music app-the app was still showing (only one now) the files I deleted, but it was unable to play them. I cleared the music apps cache and storage then restarted the phone which removed all traces of the deleted files and duplicates. My question is this: is this Dropbox app related? Anyone else have this issue or can recreate it? Is there maybe a known bug/fix I've missed in the forums somehow? Lastly, some additional information...if I transfer from my computer it doesn't do the duplicate file garbage....odd. I haven't tried using the stock file manager app's "online" access method to download files from Dropbox so I dunno if that does it too or not...
Thanks in advance for any help and or insight offered!
Unrelated topic: One more quick question: I'm aiming to find a way to make holding the vol buttons skips to next song but due to my noobness I'm unsure as to whether this is a tweak or mod? I'm using the mobile xda app from work now so I can't search the forums at the moment, is this covered in our forums that I've missed? If not, I'd eventually like to start a walk through thread for it... Thanks again guys.

Sooooooo...
I recently updated my i9300 to foxhound 0.1, which is android 4.2.2.
It works fine and all BUT sometimes when installing apps or updating them they get installed to sd card automatically!
I did some googling, without much luck though since it seems i'm the only one interested in keeping my apps on the internal storage rather than the micro sd.
I had the doubt this was either the fault of apps like
App2sd/Link2sd so i uninstalled them (i really never actually used them), but i doubt it was their making...
What happened is with this new 4.2.2 now i am able to actually move apps to sd card (while on any other rom i dont even recall being able to) and this is cool, but i don't need it. Problem is my phone WANTS to.
So how can i change the default installation directory before i choose to throw my phone against the wall?:banghead:

About what sd are you talking? Internal sd which is actually the internal memory or external sd which is your micro sd?
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
He is talking about them going to the micro SD card.
Exactly external sd. They just go there themselvesn it doesn't occur with all apps, so i'm guessing maybe the devs put some preferences in the installation properties? I think i recall reading about android devs being able to do this somewhere in their projects.....

Try asking in the foxhound threads.
