What can be stored on an SD card with the Galaxy Note 10.1?

[wrwesley57]

Is the storage restricted to media only or can you also have programs moved/stored on the SD card?:-\

Unless rooted, you can't store apps on the SD card for the Note 10.1. I sincerely hope they change that when the '14 10.1 goes on sale this month.

Really? I was under the impression that this tablet DOES support App2SD just like they updated for the S4... The Note 3 supports this. It is, however, still subject to the app developers support; if the dev doesn't allow SD Installs, the app won't let you move it to the SD Card even if the tablet supports this.

I could be mistaken but I'm gonna stop by a Best Buy today and verify.

from my Sony XTZ

Is it out yet? I thought it wasn't coming until the 10th... I'm not in the US, but I'm fairly close hehe if it's out, I guess I'll have to plan a little shopping trip for the weekend

Yes, you can move apps to the sd card. My only trouble with it is that when the tablet jolted, the SD is mysteriously unmounted.

 

[SpookDroid]

Not mysteriously (I hoped Samsung would have found a way to fix this). The latest Samsung phones have issues with SD Cards unmounting/remounting on their own, rendering App2SD pretty much useless as it becomes unreliable, and also storing files becomes a hazard as you risk losing data or corrupt files. I've personally seen issues since the Note 2

But, let's give Samsung's software Engineers the benefit of the doubt and try to blame their design department and QC inspectors. If this happened when the tablet jolted, it MIGHT be possible that the SD card doesn't have a snug fit inside it's housing and will lose touch with the contact pins upon the jolt. You could try to slide a cardboard cutout (a buisness card will do the trick) on the back of the SD card to make for a tighter fit (BUT BEWARE!!! This may end up being too tight of a grip and make it extremely difficult to pull the memory out when you need it, so do this at your own risk).

If the apps2sd feature is there it still won't fix the app data not moving to the SD card issue. But that aside you can put a ton of content and media on the card which is exactly what I want. Work documents, movies, etc for on the go use.

Why I cant move app on sd card?

 

[Christian Ivan Bandilla21]

It dosn't place a button MOVE TO SD CARD.

It dosn't place a button MOVE TO SD CARD.

If you go to the app info there is a button to move it to the SD card.

 

[Raymond Hubbard]

Yes some apps can be moved not all. I have a bunch of apps on the micro sd card.

Also there is some noise out there about Lollipop fixing the SD card problem...

I can't move them to SD eather. For instance, I tried to move Heartstone via Appinfo and it did move, and I ended up with 44MB on SD and 1.5GB on internal
Even now, rooted, it says that I have no enough space on SD while I have 32GB free. So confused... I'm on CM12 now. Any solutions?

 

[Christian Ivan Bandilla21]

No I cant see MOVE TO SD CARD button in Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 but in my Samsung Galaxy Y I can see the button

This is NOT cool! I do not spend this much money, to NOT be able to move things to my SD card! I will Not buy another one of these tablets UNLESS it can be moved to my card. THIS IS SICK SAMSUNG! Why else is there an sd slot if you CANNOT move things to it! Real sick rip off!

 

[Nancy Davison]

Nothing can be stored!

 

[Dale_M]

Really odd because I can move most anything to my 32G SD card...

Also look at app called AMAZE it s operating system system access app the can copy/paste almost anything to SD card...

 

[Nancy Davison]

My 32 year old daughter and her husband bought the same tablets, came home took me to Best Buy same place they bought theirs. My son-in-law went to Computer school. He cannot get my tablet to do a lot that theirs does. We cannot get Apps to download to card. There is not an option for it. Mine is slightly different. Thanks for responding!

Dale...Amaze has this to say: "Note - Basic r/w operations might not work on external memory on Kitkat devices. Don't use cut/paste from or to external SD Card. You might loose your files."
