Hello I'm a late comer to the tablet & smartphone game. About get the old 10.1. My first tablet.
Done some surfing.

Did the problem of transferring app from the note to external storage (SD) ever get corrected by Samsung? Any updates etc or doable work arounds?

Thanks for any help.
:confused
 
It's not a Samsung issue. Android removed that function with the Jellybean update. You can get around that by rooting the device.

If the Note you are getting still has Ice Cream Sandwich then you still have the ability to save to SD without doing anything, but once you update to Jelly, you will lose that function.

Also, "save to SD" has been put back on the S3 running Jellybean with the 4.3 update, probably because people were complaining about lack of storage on the S4, so if hopefully if and when the Note gets an update it will also be put back in.
