Hi I've been using the note for a month and half now. And I like manageing someo f my apps. So a while ago I've issued some problems with Apps on the SD card.
So the issue is when the smartphone is accessing the SD card. Normally the issue can be recreated by moving more than 1 app to SD at the same time. This issue is also returning when installing 2 or more apps at the same time on the SD. When I had this issue I said okay, no problem I'll move my apps to my internal storage. But now with the nice Google 0,10cent deals, it's getting hard not to resist to put some Apps on the SD.
The problem with the issue is that it's rebooting every time. Anyone had any issues? I'm using a class 10 Samsung 32gb miniSD card. Also my note is on stock and update to 2.3.6.
So I was wondering if someone had any idea how to resolve this issue? I've read about the Samsung Galaxy S2 having the same problem. But didn't find a solution yet.
BTW, can anyone explain when the note is saying it has 2GB system storage and 21,2GB USB storage (when I view files on SD) and where can I see my SD storage + why does it still use USB storage when I move a file to SD?
Thank you for your answers, sorry the Galaxy Note is my first Android! But I've enjoying every step of the way !

So, I purchased 8GB SanDisc micro SD card 4-5 months ago and it started to acting weird. When browsing pictures, some pictures have glitches meaning half picture is bluish and half greenish, sometimes redish.
Disconnecting and connecting SD card solves the problem but after several days problem continues. Few days ago I received message that my SD card is broken and it needs to be formatted. I formatted it and it worked 2-3 days and then again started to act weird.
Is my SD card broken or maybe it is phone? Someone else with such experience?
Thanks.
Same story here. This has happened with 2 out of 3 cards i have owned.

Really strange. It is important to detect are there really broken SD cards or our phones make bad SD card under some conditions/roots/ROMs. Hmmm....
First: when you will have such message, remove it and try to access it on PC. If it will work on PC - then it is the phone problem.
If not... well, where have you purchased it? SanDisc cards are covered by Lifetime Warranty, and thing what you have to do is to make claim.
Of course, if you have bought it for bargain price on eBay from China, then...
Thanks. I bought it in Mediamarkt, regular store for IT accessories. I will make a claim if this problem repeat.
I had the same problem with 16GB sandisk card so replaced it (JB hifi - reliable Aus store who replaced it for free). Same prob with new card though. both cards reformatted many times but still no joy.
photos taken with phone cam and saved to int SD no problem, but every so often if saved to ext SD the glitch occurs. Photos taken with a digicam then transferred to SD same prob - randomly in gallery won't show some photos properly.
Also discovered that videos made on pc (like clips from films my son likes) but put on ext SD often don't play well or stop before end of clip - no problem if saved to int SD.
I figured it was a bug with the SGS in dealing with files on ext SD - super annoying but have basically accepted it as can't find anyway to fix it!
FYI Recuva is a great program to retrieve lost files

forgot to mention that on my phone, it only seems that photos or videos are affected by this glitch.
I have mp3 files, homemade ringtones and word docs on the ext SD and so far (touch wood) haven't had any problems with using them or viewing them etc.
DoctorV, exact my story. I am assuming that problem is in SGS, although I tried Sandisc 4GB card and 3 days without problems. As soon as I put back Sandisc 8GB, problems started. Very strange and annoying.

Interesting - wonder if it has anything to do with the size of the SD card then? From memory my 2nd 16GB card had no problem for 3 or 4 days too before the issue happened again. Let us know if your 4GB continues to do ok - I may try a smaller card if yours seems to work ok.
thanks
I had 8G SanDisk - no problem for 3 mths, when I replaced it with Sandisk 16G. both were class 6. the second one - 4mths in sgs now - no problem at all.
@doktorV you, in australia, are too close to China, you know
Additional question: which gallery viewer are you using? Both, you that have problems with SD card and you that never had problems with SD card?
I noticed that in QuickPic I picked picture, picture is opened with errors (strange colors or even 3/4 picture is missing) and when I open same picture in stock gallery viewer few minutes later, everything is fine. After opening same picture in QuickPic, it is OK.
After 1-2 hours problem repeats. It is really seems like SW problem and not problem with SD card. Don't know...
I dont know if there is still some activity here..
My sd-card (lexar 8gb SDhc ) is recognized by pc and phone.. after insert it scans.. scan is ok. then a few second - minutes is says sd card is broken and needs to be formatted after format it goes to scan scan ok ... and again broken repeat....
is this a problem with my sd card ? does it matter if its an regular SD or an SDhc ?
and when I format in on pc in wich sort should it be ? stock of ext3 ? or anything like that ?
since im on custom rom now I can format it in my phone ( darknight 4.0.4, when I click format sd card it formats the wrong sd card so I cant use this option )
but its not in the custom rom, had the phone on stock 2.3.6 and the same problem was there. ( also on stock 2.3.3 same problem )
Can I conclude this actually is a '' broken card '' or can I change the settings and make it work ?
thanks in front....
The original mini SD that came with my OB is a 4gb class 4.
As soon as I had a good amount of files in it (about 2gb) it started corrupting files, faiing to be recognized, causing the OB to crash freeze when I tried to do simple tasks, like going on the SD settings and such.
Now I have been using a 1gb mini SD (no idea wich class) and it has been working brilliantly.
What I want to know is, up to how many gb can I go with a new mini SD, are there any brands that aren't compatible, and in case I don't find or can't aford a class 8 or 10 mini SD, what would be my best course of action?
Thanks in advance.
I've Samsung class 10 32 gb. It's really good, but my device started rebooting because of it. "System Process has stopped working."
What I found out is that after removing my micro sd my device is a hell FASTER than before!!!
Maybe a faulty micro sd, no since it works fine in my pc and other devices.
I want to check does any of you have the same problem???

HI,
I have exactly the same micro sd since 2 or 3 month and I haven't got any issues with it yet. I will send you an msg if something happens!
Cheers
I have a class 10 from A-Data, absolutely no issues.
As such I have to ask OP a few questions:
Have you tried formatting the card?
Have you tried doing factory reset on the phone in case it's some application you've installed misbehaving?
I have a 32GB class 10 from Lexar and it hasn't had any problems.

1Q: yes with no problems
2Q: yes and even formatted the usb storage from PC while connected to it. Just a RomToolbox users apps+ data restore. Maybe that's the problem?

Found the problem... I guess.
Moving applications to SD either by Link2SD, Apps2SD, or through GB stock applications move to SD methods lags the device while scanning for media at the device startup; which ends up rebooting the device constantly...
I removed the SD card and the device is blazing fast and no random reboots. Also, I uninstalled the apps that I've moved to SD while having the SD card in and no problem so far...
Any similar findings???

Sorry to dig up a month old post, but I just got my Note, and I have this exact card and experience the exact same issues, so you are not alone in this.
I'd be curious to hear if the OP has found any way around the issue? (without changing the card out, that is)
Thanks!
Hello,
I have a Samsung galaxy note with 30GB internal space, when I try moving apps to the built in internal space it says there is no SD card on your phone.
I then purchased another SD card of 30GB, The Samsung galaxy note then recognize it, but when I move apps to the external drive the phone keeps rebooting itself, which is a nightmare. When I remove the SD card from the phone the phone is functioning well. Thought SD card was the problem purchased another card same problem.
My question is, why am I not able to move apps to the built in memory card on Galaxy note, why is galaxy note not able to recognize the built in SD card.
My other question is why is the phone rebooting itself when apps are moved to external drive.
This is a very serious bug and Samsung should find a solution to it.
Its a shame though that the Samsung galaxy note has this problems
How can this problem be fixed?
What ROM / Kernel are you using? I've moved apps to SD without issue.
I have had problems with a cheap 32GB card (I think it is really a 16GB and misreports as 32GB) - as another poster here said - buy cheap and you buy twice!
Do you have another microSD you can use? Even a 4GB or so - that way you can test again.
How can I move apps to Built in SD Drive of 32GB on Samsung Galaxy Galaxy Note
Galaxy GT-N7000, android version 2.3.6, Baseband version N7000XXXLB2, Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1-CL1003701 [email protected] #2,
I’ve used 3 different SD cards one 15G and two 32GB samsung Electronics MICROSDHC 32GB(CLASS 10) all with same problem of phone rebooting when apps are moved to SD card. I also have 2 galaxy note one 15GB and the other 32GB, both have same problem, this cannot be a coincidence. ( I have about over 400 apps)
If I am able to move the apps to the built in drive of 32GB this could solve the problem. How can I move apps to the built in SD card of 32GB, is there any app that can do this? Apps2SD cannot recognize the built in Card. I also contacted the developer of apps2SD regarding this problem, he said it’s a Samsung galaxy note BUG that I should contact manufacturer and also referred me to XDA for quick solution.
It’s a night mare when such an expensive phone starts rebooting itself and heating up the phone
400 apps sounds like a lot to me. Are you sure one of them is not getting in the way?
Do you have access to Titanium backup and Better Battery Stats? These will help you find if there are any programs that are hogging processor or running in the background, use TB to freeze the app then see if your phone is back to normal.
Hi
I got my Galaxy note from tmobile about a month ago and boy I cant get enough of the phablet. Really happy with it. However I am having an issue with the download location. I got myself a 32 gb pny class 10 micro sd card right after I got the phone. Now whenever I download anything it goes directly to my phone instead of the sd card. All the pictures that I took were saved on the phone instead of the sd card however i figured the way to change that by going to the camera settings. As I love to play games on my note which makes me download huge amount of data files, it all eats up my phones memory. I tried manually move the files to the sd card but then the game apps wont work. All the downloads whether its a picture song or data files everything saves on the phone. I tried the phones settings>storage but no luck there either. If anyone is facing the same problem and knows the solution please share. It will be highly appreciated.
FYI I am using the stock rom completely. No root what so ever.
Thanks
Can you make a back up of your ROM, your not rooted so no CWM correct?

Correct no cwm.
