However, this space is needed for a proper functionality of the device, and as such not freely accessible for you as a user. In order to clear space in that memory you could potentially choose to use a Clear app such as Cleanmaster. These applications clean up your device, delete unnecessary appdata and in this way clear space. Perhaps it does something. What you have done is simply not useful at all. Not at all. You merely questioned question-asker's motives and that's all you have done. You have not provided any help whatsoever. You are like a baker who refuses to sell bread and merely tells his customers, or would-be customers, to not buy bread anymore.

Xperia J: Can anyone please explain the memory problems ? - Forums - CNET

But he doesn't close his bakery shop just yet. He tells other people to do what he doesn't have the balls to do himself. And in this he errs, because he fails to take responsibility for his own choices, and in his failure to make a choice, starts interfering with other people's choices regarding the same. If you can't fix your own life, you can at least try to fix the lives of other people Other people's lives do not need fixing by you. That's the same for everyone.

By "You are like a baker who refuses to sell bread and merely tells his customers, or would-be customers, to not buy bread anymore. That this baker tells his customers, or would-be customers, to not buy his bread anymore. He probably doesn't care whether they buy bread from someone else, but he yearns to quit being a baker, so instead of quitting himself he tries to dissuade people from buying from him.

Maybe, if they do, he can quit his job. I can't hope to fix anyone's life. But as a programmer of many things over the years and now Android Apps I can see where folk are upset over how memory works in Android.

External SD card is not recognising in my Sony Xperia J

You ask if I expect folk to learn about this area. I have to go with yes. And then if a device is worse than the usual, well, that speaks for itself. Can you explain for plain folk why there is an issue or issues here and why? It appears that nodding and telling folk there is no direct download and install to external memory is not enough.

I've kept track of XDA Developers and more and so far no one has seen fit to tackle a workaround to download and install to external or SD cards directly. Well we could note we could put the APK on the card but that still doesn't fix it and then we have the Play Store that won't co-operate. You are starting to make points to why folk like the iPhone. You seem to think there's a solution to this. The added card gives us space to move apps to, store files and such. But the direct install as noted is not in the cards. I know folk want a more modern OS that doesn't have us learning about it but Android is an odd beast of an OS.

It's a bit too raw for some. I'm sorry if this may upset some. If u can't move apps to an sd card then why have an sd card slot??? I had the Experia J for about 18 months. It still looked like new. But it only has RAM of mb. You needed even 18 months ago 1Gb RAM or more.

Also the internal memory storage if I remember rightly was 2Gb. I didn't add so many apps but it came to the point when updates kept adding to that internal storage.

So I got that alert that it was not possible to update because of lack of memory. I recently got the Sony Experia M2. It has at least twice as much RAM as the J, maybe 3 times. And its internal memory is 5Gb. It was reasonably priced as phones go. I know this is a little old now, but thank you to the OP for kind of confirming for me that this seems to a bit of a quirk with the Sony Xperias - and one you don't know about until it's too late!

I'm on my second now, first an Xperia E, then L, and this thing of partitioned internal storage has irritated me on both. It was a bigger issue on the E than the L as the internal storage was half the size to begin with. L doesn't fill up quite so often, but I still had to disable all Sony bloatware and be fairly brutal with any app that can't be moved from the "device memory" to the "internal storage". Basically of the 5. If they insist on doing this, they could do with increasing that.

Wish I hadn't bought the L as a result, but hoped the issue with the E was down to it being the most cheapo of the range. Anyway, looking to replace my phone early in the new year, so thanks for verifying that I probably shouldn't go for M2 I was half thinking about. My wife has a Moto G and this doesn't seem to have the same set up, so I think I will go for either that, or maybe take a punt on Windows.
