I'm not ready to root my new Note3. Not until the Knox-bit issue and full recovery back is there.
So, what is the benefit of the external SD card if you can't move apps there (non-rooted) ?
What should I move there, without ROOT ?
You can go into the application manager on the Note 3 and move a bunch of your apps there now even though it is not rooted! With the speed of this monster there is no reason why you would need to root. Also, if you already have the SD card in the unit when installing large games or apps, it is smart enough to automatically install the larger ones there anyway. This phone is freaking amazing!

Hmm, and have you checked that it IS saving it to ext SD?
What it does is send it to the internal SD . I have tried numerous times to do this,
and whilst it says your app is on the sd card not one byte shows up there whatsoever.
What is odd though is if you then take out the sd card it will tell you the app isn't installed.
Never the less nothing is ever saved to ext-sd , it goes to the emulated internal memory.
Useless
What tool are you using to measure the storage used?

Sooo.. In my search for the "sd card unexpectedly removed" error I was reading an article about how the Google Play Music app was having sd card errors. Never use that app so I uninstalled it with "clean master" from the playstore and I haven't had that error in days. I'm not 100% sure that is what fixed it but so far so good for me. Hope it helps more people cuz it was an everyday irritating problem for me.

seems to be a flaw with samsung's sd card driver... this issue has been present since the gs2 all of the galaxy series do it...
samsung galaxy s6
Samsung recently launched the much awaited S6 and S6 Edge at its press conference at the Mobile World Congress. However the new S6 will not be available worldwide before April 10, 2015. The new flagship phone of Samsung will certainly compete heavily with Apple's iPhone 6.
The new S6 has a more premium look as it is made up of a mixture of glass and metal. Unfortunately for Samsung, the design of the Galaxy S6 was spilled out on the web before its launch, so this does not come as news to many enthusiasts.
There is no change in the display as the S6 sports a Super AMOLED display which has been Samsung favorite for the past few years. The resolution of S6 is the same as Note 4 i.e. 2560 x 1440 pixel QHD resolution (557 Pixels per inch).
The new S6 comes with a 16/5 MP rear/front camera along with the auto-HDR feature to automatically control the white balance and smart Optical Image Stabilization to keep the shake away.
The main negative aspect in the new S6 is its battery which is only 2550mAh as compared to the 2800mAh of S5. But with the new faster charging system it takes only 10 minutes charge for a 2 hour video playback.
The other specs of S6 include Gorilla Glass 4 Exynos 7420 processor, Android 5.0 Lollipop OS, LPDDR 3 3GB RAM and heart rate monitor.
Pros:
The new S6 features a resolution of 557 ppi, the highest ever for a smartphone. The other positive features of the S6 are: Gorilla Glass 4, latest version of Android (lollipop), 16 MP camera.
Cons:
The 2550mAh non-removable battery is a major drawback in S6. The other downside of the S6 is its absence of a microSD card slot. Some also believe that the absence of waterproofing which was available in S5 will also have its consequences.
Apart from its certain drawbacks, the S6 is a really extraordinary smartphone. It is certainly one of the best of its kind and a real treat for mobile fanatics.
thanks, can't wait to try it out
So everyone knows by now the two biggest cons to the S6/edge is going to be losing the removable battery and the micro SD card storage. Let me address these 2 with my own very personal but I feel most righteous beliefs.
1. The SD card loss: Absolutely will not miss it even though I have a 64GB one SD for my S4. I even bought the official OEM Samsung card, in hopes that it would play nice with the phone and not get burned out like what I hear many Kingston and Sandisk cards have been doing. And I was right for a long time, until 3 weeks ago my Samsung card finally got trashed. Phone says card is blank and/or has unsupported files and REALLY wants to format it. This is after about 1 year8 months of usage, but I am extrmely disappointed in this. Makes me want to never ever buy another removable SD card phone ever again, and if Samsung had come out with removable storage for the S6 I was most definitely going to go with the HTC M9. So there's that. Removable storage is stupid. Apple was right to never offer it in their phones. SD card storage was never going to be as reliable as on board storage. When it comes to storage, you best believe we want reliable. I was fortunate the data, pictures, apps I had on the corrupted SD were either backed or irrelevant to me now.
2. Removable Battery: This one is the real only con I can see in the phone. But, and this is a big BUT, you lose the removable battery because you gain the super duper quality phone you've wanted, I wanted, EVERYONE wanted from Samsung. Do not tell me you liked the cheap plastic backplates. Or the squeaky loose feel like it needs some WD40 in the joints. No, we wanted a solid phone made of glass and metal and that doesn't bend or feel cheap. In order to get this we had to sacrifice the removable battery, there was no way around that. No design known to man could ever have incorporated the removable battery feature into the the S6. I will miss being able to swap out my battery when its 0% because I play Clash of Clans a lot. But what I get in return an Android phone that feels good in my hands is worth losing the battery. I'll just have to always keep a charging cable in my car, my car has a USB charging port built in.
Now, what i really want to know is, will we be able to root and sim unlock to have access to free wifi tethering and use with another carrier ie. Internationally? My wifi tethering is very important to me on my S4 although I was never able to sim unlock it correctly. My phone is still on 4.2.2 the original MDL. It's rooted but I fear updating it and losing my wifi tether.
whilst the non removable battery is annoying, just look at the battery pack they'll release with the phone.

I hope the people understand that the SD card loss is more good then negative..people with phones that have SD card..did you ever wondered that the phone says no storage available..you look on the SD card and there is many place on it free..it's because the most apps or the data of it goes to the internal card..and that will be fast full..as the phones with SD card most have not much internal space....in the past there are much init.d scripts that change that..a2SD or change internal with external scripts..having a phone with much internal make all those tings Abundance...Android is no more external SD friendly.. in original soap roms even the pictures goes to internal..I ordered the s6 edge with 128 GB.. and I was always HTC fanboy..
Pretty much true. It's not really a Con for me the phone not having an SD Card slot though many are complaining about it. I guess we are just used to that kind of thing that it's hard to move on b
Hmm, that battery pack actually looks pretty damn good if you ask me.
eww as much as i like the look.. the no sd card and especially non-removable battery is a huge drawback
i'll wait till LG G4 come out and then decide on whether s6 edge, HTC M9 or LG G4..
I never changed the battery in 2 years..and off course..there will be a way ..
Hi Buddy,
I just bought Galaxy Tab 4 7 few weeks ago, to replace my old Tab 2 7
But one thing that makes me a bit confused, when I'm trying to move few apps and games to SD Card, its only moved the small data (see attachment)
I've used about 5 different samsung devices previously, and when I moved the apps and games to SD Card, its moved almost the entirely files. Why it doesn't work at Tab 4 7?
Also, is there any CF Auto Root for Tab 4 7? Or any substitution that can root tab 4 7 as easy as CF Auto Root?
Thank you before!
Got to play with both today! The note 5 stylus is spring loaded and more hidden. Both have the same design as the s6. Glass front and back. Beyond that... It's essentially the same specs as the s6 with very minor improvements.

Ok, what was the point to release new note 5, if there is no big difference? Any new features like eye scan or maybe faster and better fingerprint recognition?
Worst new feature is no SD card support
This means I will never buy the Note 5.
Well, I for one think that the Note 5 not having any major changes from the Note 4 is a good thing. Why? Because you don't have to spend more money on a new phone, and if you can't afford a new phone, you don't have to feel like you're missing out on the newest gadget.

So do they have fixed batteries, what size, and no sd? Is the screen better than the note 4? Are they identical processors and memory?

If there's root for either of those 2 I'm getting it. Bye bye note 4
It's pretty much the s6 but bigger. Internal battery and same design. I have no idea about the SD card but I'm going to assume no. The rep has stated many times after the s6 launch that they had no plans of bring the SD card option back. Which I'm glad for. I worked at a repair center for years and 2 of the biggest problems we had were from people using 3rd party batteries and using an old SD card from their original epic or evo. Simply taking out the old SD card fixed nearly all their problems then switching their battery out with an OEM battery fixed everything else. Bad aftermarket battery's can and will cause your phone to freeze/lock up and perform power cycles. Usually after only a few minutes use. Using an old or class 4 or below SD card can and will lock your phone up and/or cause power cycles. Sucks the rest are being punished but its a very tiny community that even uses all of 32gb of the internal storage before getting a new phone or just the few bucks extra and get the 64gb model. Faster more stable form of storage.

Wow so no SD cards anymore?! As much as I love my note 4 I'm basically going to have to in the future look elsewhere to another brand that uses micro sd. Sorry Samsung but if I wanted an iPhone I would've bought one. So what are the choices when it comes to memory?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The internal memory is sooooo much faster than even a class 10 SD card. Why not pony up for the 64 GB version and be done? Unless you like to keep several HD Blu-Ray rips or a plethora of high-end games on your phone, I can't imagine running out of space with 64 GB. I have a playlist of about 1000 songs, most at 256 kbps, and it uses about 9 gigs. Still lots of room when you have 64 gigs. Just my $0.02.
There are new pictures on verge. Basically a note 4 with a new frame. Honestly I can't see why i would move from a note 4 to a note 5. Cost for the equivalent of what I have, of based on s6 prices, is $1k. Better to get a g4 (for around $480 today) or keep the note 4.

Oh and to be fair.. The rep said he could not confirm that the device I was holding was a note 5. He said he couldn't say what the real name was. He called the phone without edges "project noble" it could be the galaxy s6+. The other device was definitely/obviously the s6 edge+. Which he also couldn't confirm on the name. With both devices having the same exact design and same specs as the s6 then the note 5 could be a completely other device yet seen.

yeah but comparing the SD card in your phone is like comparing a USB drive to a computer. I'm constantly exchanging music, videos, pictures, and large size files with other devices, and friends. I also move gigs of files to and from my computer. I just pop out the SD card and place it in my other device, the SD card slot in my laptop, my tablet, etc.
also if worse comes to worse and I brick my phone, its the SD card that'll save me when I transfer a recovery to it.
the truth of it is there's no other solution that works nearly as well as having an SD card. and if you're someone like me whos on the go, and hardly ever touches a PC, SD card is so important.
I also trust my SD card much more.. if my phone were to break or get wet, everything inside is ruined, but if my pictures are on an SD card, while my phone is gone, my precious memories aren't.
SD card 4 life!
(also the Note series is a PRODUCTIVITY line, how could they ever scrap such a crucial thing for power users, and business travelers..)
no sd card and no removable battery. Definitely deal breaker. I am going to keep my note 4 for a long time.
They make USB drives for phones now. They have 2 ends. A micro USB end and a regular USB end for that exact reason. Way more reliable than an SD card.

My Samsung rep brought both devices in today and the edge device had a stylus. More than likely will be the note edge not the s6 edge plus. The rep told me with his time with these devices his battery life is about double the battery life of the s6. Definitely looking forward to this new note

Totally agree, i would imagine that if a permanent trustworthy non-chinese root method is attained on the Note 5 within first couple months of release then it will be definitely worth it, otherwise, I am dumping Samsung Note 4 and Galaxy Tab Pro for good, hello Moto or Huawei Nexus.
It's not samsung fault for lack of sd card support,
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Google-SD-Card-Nexus-Smartphone,18841.html
But my next phone will probably be the sony xperia z3, since the z3+ doesn't have lte and I haven't seen anyone add the band's for att lte to it successfully yet
Also to the op,I used both phones, how did you not notice if there was or was not an SD card and how did you not notice the back of the note 5? It's not the same as the 6

I have a 200gb Sandisk micro SD card bought directly from Amazon in December.
I have used it in other devices with no issues.
I added 40gb music on card at weekend. I have 15gb photos.
Now in Samsung galley app if I delete more than 2 photos in a row , one after another, the app grinds to a halt.
I have reformatted card in phone as well before using it.
Has anyone had this issue yet?
If you have a 200gb card can you test of filled like mine for slowness?
Any suggestions please ?

Seems fairly nimble. Just lose all the editing features and other stuff from the Samsung Gallery app. Doesn't seem right. But hey ho.
Can't really suggest anything else, but if it doesn't lock up then surely it's better to give it a try.

Update. I bought 64gb and 128gb sandisk cards. All Class 10 and the fastest available. Once over 30gb full they all cause problems.
Lol this is why they removed the sd slot in the s6's cause of alot of people complaining of performance drops in previous galaxy's. They listen to demand and bring the sd slot back but of course there will be a lot of complaining of performance drop and then cycle continues lol

Obviously performance changes, but this problem is a specific Samsung issue. I can take any 3 of my new micro SD cards and use them in any one of my other phones without the same speed slow downs whilst deleting photos.

Change your photo location to internal storage, then you can delete pictures using Google Photos.
If your internal storage is filling up, time to enable adoptable storage.
I have the 200GB card and don't have issues deleting photos. Maybe its because I'm only using 42GB of space but have all my photos saving to the card and when I delete 2 or 3 photos at a time it takes maybe a sec or two at the most but does not halt or freeze up my phone. I guess I'll have to monitor it as I'm adding more files to it.
This problem seems to have gone away
