Just bought the note yesterday. Rooted and using the Rocky Rom.
But when I take pictures and videos, it will not save it to my 16gig external SD. I already specify that in the camera apps settings save to Memory Card. But when I hook it up to the USB, my pc shows two different directory. One is my 16gig MicroSD and other one is the internal SD. Both have DCIM folders. But I can only see my pics and videos being saved to the internal SD.
How do I change that to my external MicroSD, I thought by default it will save it there but its not.

Any reason to do this? Seems like the device is loaded with GBs so what are the pros & cons?
I feel like the biggest benefit would be to people flashing their phones a lot... No need to make back ups as they would all be on the external sd card. However, not all apps support this feature so i have never really tried it...

I like to have as much space as possible available so I can take long videos and lots of pics. Since I have a 32gb external card, I can keep all my music and movies on it and save my internal sd card for things I actually do with the phone.
So I'm still confused..what does "save to SD card" mean? Does the app and all it's data go to the external SD, or to the internal SD? Weird stuff..maybe it frees up the phone partition of the internal SD?
Hey note owners
OK so recently i bought a 16 gig micro SD card to expand the space on my note and i finally got it today and so i got a couple games with big data up to 500 MB to 1 GB. so i was wondering how to move the games to the SD, i mean i know there is an option in settings to move to SD but it only moves the game file to SD, i want to move the SD data to it too.
i tried manually moving the SD data to the exact same folder it was in the internal storage to the SD but when i open the game it asks me to download the SD data
so how do i move like everything from the game to the SD data to the SD card
is there an app for it???
Do you tried "App2SD" (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&hl=de)
Yes I tried it does the same, I want to move the sd data to sd card too!

You seem to be doing better than me. I got my new 32gb SD today and I've tried moving apps to SD (with apps to SD app) and it just moves them to the internal SD rather than my 32gb one. I really don't understand why they designed it to work this way
Their must be a way to move apps and their data to the external SD

I always choose to install application in device, it has huge ROM 2gb, i think enough to hold app. At presently i have 170 user application + stock still 700mb used, because big data n library by default saves to internal memory card.
And internal memory card hav better read/write capacity thn ext memory card, so it wont causing lag in running application. Ext card useful for titanium backup storage, ebook collwction, music, video, pictures etc.

This is true but its a class 10 card so quite fast and it would be nice to have the option. Especially when apps are getting so much bigger, i just installed gta3 and that's 500+MB!

Have not tried this on note yet as its got plenty of space. But on galaxy ace I have 16 gb class 10 sd card. I have created ext 4 partition on the card using clockwork recovery. I use Link2Sd to transfer apps to the sd card. I guess Link2SD needs init.d script support.
ok I figured out with trial and error that you cannot move the app data cannot be moved out but its fine with the new sd card I just moved every thing media vise like music, videos and pictures to the memory card and now I got a bout 9 gig out of 11 gigs on the internal storage and 5 gigs out of 14 on the external card, so now since I added all my songs to my phone I only need my phone for music when I go out and not carry my iPod but any ways I hope you guys enjoy your phone as much as I do!

I have same problem as these others and can't find can't find solution for this:
"So I've tried everything to get music to stay on my "external" SD card (32gb Micro SDHC class 6, by Kingston). I say
STAY because its syncs fine. But as soon as I try to unconnected it ( I've just yanked it, ejected the drive from
windows then pulled it, ejected it then shut off the phone and pulled it then turned it back on, etc...) it moves 90%
of the files from the music folder to lost.dir. I've done just about everything i can think, heres a list (sorry if some of them seem silly)
unmount SD card, remove from phone, plug into computer, load songs, re-mount = all files in LOST.dir
Sync "USB Mass Storage" Using
Windows Media
VCast media Maneger = all files in LOST.dir
Motorola "motocast USB"
WinAmp
Drag and Drop to folder
sync with the "windows Media Sync" mode not "USB Mass Storage"
Windows Media
VCast media Maneger
Motorola "motocast USB" = all files in LOST.dir
WinAmp
Sync to internal memory and move files to external. = All file in LOST.dir
Now here's where it gets strange, I've done this with 2 different SD cards, (both 32gb one a class 6, one a class 10)
and the same thing happens. I've use both of these cards on 2 different phones (talked to Verizon and they just sent
me a new phone) and the same thing happens. What the heck is going on?"
and this guy:
I'm having issues with music on an external sd card, can anyone advise?
I mounted a 32Gb sd card in Samsung Galaxy 1. I then copied music into music folder on card.
This has been done using Kies and several other times using a usb card holder and Win Explorer - all with same
results...
When I turn on phone, the external media scanner runs ok. I go to music and it only shows approx 16 cds of music. The
remainder seem to be "dumped" into media folder without structure,or alternatively get dumped into the Lost.dir.
Its almost like there's a limit on the size of the memory space allocated to the music folder.
I have used other apps to rescan media. I have also reformatted the cards to ensure no hidden files or attributes.
Also tried this with another new 4Gb card with same issue.
I just got a new Ainol 7 Advanced 7 inch Android tablet (which is pretty cool for cost v's performance).
Unfortunately, this has the same issues as the Samsung.
Obviously, this is due to the same "features" of the Android O/S and its memory mgt of external cards."
I'm using a 16gig card myself and the same thing is happening. Even if I transfer files over wifi and rescan media.
Someone said "I could be mistaken, but I think you may be right about the memory limit in file allocation on that device. I know it's true of some versions of the Android Operating System. The OS wants more storage area for system activity than
or media. Some users solve that issue by rooting their device and manipulating those parameters"
also said "In Unix the lost & found directory is for orphaned files and/or directories. They become orphaned due the OS no longer having the correct pointers to those files.
and "Some tweaks such as sdcard speed tweak and other sdcard related tweaks in init.d folder is causing this problem... Try to boot your phone without them and see if it works"
So I removed what I think was a speed tweak from the init.d folder and rebooted...same thing.
There seems to be from what I've seen, a 1.8 or 2gig limit on media files on the external SD. Everything works great until you add past 2gig, then the rest goes to LOST.DIR. So I tried something, format the SD and copied over 5gig of PDF files, I got the same thing only it seemed the limit was now 3.8gig. So does anyone know how to get around these limits?
What does everyone think the chances of getting official 6.0/Marshmallow on the Amazon Fire tablet (2015)?
I know its one of the cheapest budget tablets available and so dont have big expectations. But the main reason I would be interested in 6.0 is the new sd card feature, where you would be able to properly make use of a large micro sd card, as the built-in 8GB (or whats actually available) will get filled up pretty easily.
Well it may get Amazon's version of it eventually, but Amazon's rom does let you move a lot to the SD card anyway. Under 5.1.1 there are options for
Install Supported Apps on your sd card
Download Movies and TV shows to your sd card
Download music to your sd card
Store photos and personal videos on your sd card
Mind you not sure which count as "supported apps"

Is there a way to move large games to your SD card? They always install to the Android/obb file location on the internal and not the Android/obb on the SD card.
I've been wondering the same thing too. I've moved the game to sd card but it's data in obb has to be on internal or it can't see it.

Exactly, games like GTA: San Andreas is 2 or more gigs so that knocks a huge portion out of the internal not to mention the system seems like it runs slower the more data is saved to the internal.

If you're rooted et al, install xposed and use the module "obb to sd". I do, it works perfectly. Nothing like moving Hearthstone to the sd to free up space.

On SlimLP I have this app running https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd. It works perfectly. I have a 64GB SD and a 32GB ext4 partition for apps. The other 32GB is in exfat for general files and such forth.
I have one New BLU-R1/16GB and also a BLU-R1/8GB, and I have installed on each of them 128GB MicroSD Memory Cards.
Neither of my 2 BLU cell phones is rooted, and after selecting to use my MicroSD card as an SD-Card, I successfully moved all my APPs, except the systems ones, to this SD-Card...
But although I have 128GB of memory in each cellphone, I noticed that if I download a movie using the "Amazon Video" APP, this file is always stored in the internal memory and not in the SD-Card memory.
Does anyone know if there is any way to force all downloaded movie files to be stored only in this 128GB memory, using the Amazon Video APP?
Thanks in advance!
I have noticed that the latest update v4.13.1 (build 14562) of the Netflix APP, allows to save the downloaded movies on the external SD card, anyone can tell if this is possible on the BLU R1 using the Amazon Video APP?:
"- SD Card support.
New "Download Location" app setting that lets you control where to save downloaded content: Internal Storage or SD Card (new permission requested)"
As I mentioned before, I would like to force all downloaded movies, using the Amazon Video APP, to be stored only in my 128GB External SD Card... So I would greatly appreciate if someone can help me with this matter...
Thanks in advance!
