I have realized that the note II internal storage is not treated as an external card and hence gets wiped if flashing certain roms or choosing to factory reset. So, the following barrage of questions relates to "what-if" scenarios when plugging in an SD card into the Note 2.
If I choose to insert an SD card, would the phone automatically start saving content there instead or would I have to tell it to do that? What about all the folders that the phone already created like S Note Export, paper artist and photos from the camera - would they get migrated automatically or would I have to move them manually? Would subsequent photos and files be saved to the SD?
Finally, what about app storage? S Note saves notes to the internal drive but would it save it to the external storage instead if I insert an SD card? How about Spotify with its offline tracks? Would those tracks be stored on the SD rather than the internal storage if a card is detected?
Okay, one more to really complicate things: What if I insert an SD card, do a titanium backup of several applications with their corresponding data on internal storage, save those backups on the SD card, factory reset/format the phone, and then restore the backups from the SD card? Would the associated data go on the SD card or internal storage?

When you insert an sd card the camera app asks if you want to start saving photos there.
Downloads automatically go to external.
But aside from that I havent noticed any other moving. Screenshots still all go to internal as does s note and most other apps.
Still looking for a way to make them shift.
Anything already on internal storage had to be moved manually. Took a whike too lol.
Sorry but mot sure about your other questions. Hopefully someone else can answer

For me , nothing happend.
My mother's phone decided to randomly reformat itself and the SD card. Not sure what caused it, but unfortunately not a lot of the main data was on the SD card, it was on the phone. Is there anyway to recover the data on the phones internal memory?
My phone's screen is dying and I cannot view anything from the display.
I want to transfer everything in my SD card to my new phone but unfortunately the SD card has been decrypted.
Is there any solution to decrypt my SD card without the phone screen?
I think you can't.
Hello,
I have a Xiaomi Mi A1 and I have merged my SD card with the internal memory of the phone. I had to reset the phone, but it no longer recognizes the SD card and offers to format it. How can I recover my data? They look encrypted and therefore not readable by a computer.
I managed to recover the data from the Sd card but the data is encrypted and the decryption key was probably deleted during the restoration.
Many thanks to you and have a nice evening.
Have multiple Moto E4s XT1767PP unlocked Verizon phones. Needed to replace one so I moved the SIM card and the 128GB SD card formatted as Internal Storage and containing many pictures and other data to the new phone.
Phone booted and recognized T-Mobile SIM card but displayed a message that the Samsung SD card was not recognized.. Contacts seemed to be there and the new phone made and received phone calls.
Went into Settings/Storage and was asked to format the SD card. Did NOT FORMAT the SD card as I did not want to destroy all the data recorded on it.
Shut down the phone, removed battery and SD card and inserted another SD card. Replaced battery and rebooted the phone. After it came on went to Settings/Storage and formatted the new blank SD card as Internal Storage,
How can I get the original SD card and its data to be recognized by the new XT1767PP phone?
If not possible how can I get the data backed to my Google.com account to be transferred to the new phone?

The only device that will recognize and read and decrypt that SD card is your old phone.
