Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

There is nothing wrong, this is how the memory works in your phone. You can find the following information in the white paper: "Memory comprises of approximately 2.3 GB of firmware, plus 1.7 GB of “Internal Storage” for downloaded applications, music, pictures and films, and some application data."

If you want more information about the memory in your device, you can take a look at the white paper:

Well there is something wrong with the phone because as soon as a user lets the installed apps update, and then maybe has the cheek to actually use one or two apps, then the memory is full. For example. Facebook started at 29Mb. I have never logged in or used the app, but it is already 69Mb. I am already getting warnings that the memory is nearly full after owning the phone for a week.

Of course the 2GB of your internal memory contains system files and some built in applications which you cannot delete. The remaining 2GB is free for you to save music, videos, pics and install apps etc.

My E3 is showing - Device Memory -

Total Space 1.72Gb

Available 488 Mb.

Apps 1.16Gb

Pictures, Videos 340 Kb

Audio 148 Kb

Downloads 0.96 Mb

Cached data 279 Mb

Misc 120 Mb

SD Card - Total Space 29.71 Gb, Available 20.87 Gb

The only Apps I have added have been moved to the SD card, all my music is on the SD card, I haven't taken any videos or photos.

So it seems that 2.28 Gb is taken up by the operating system, and that Pre-installed apps take up 1.16 Gb of the 2 Gb memory that is supposed to be for "the user".

The largest pre-installed apps are showing as

Album 22.96 Mb

Chrome 78.94 Mb

Facebook 71.98 Mb

G Mail 9.89 Mb

Google Search 71.52 Mb

Various Google Play apps - 110 Mb

Google + 50.11 Mb

Maps 22.55 Mb

Track ID 13.97 Mb

Track ID TV 17.20 Mb

TV SideView 24.97 Mb

Walkman 23.59 Mb

Xperia Keyboard 17.68 Mb

You Tube 17.15 Mb

Twitter 29.14 Mb

This model (for one SIM only) debuted in my country just now and I bought one this week. Barely used it (I don't think I even qualify as medium user) and allready experiencing same problems than syorks. SD card doesn't really solve this, unless one transfers there everything that's possible and turn of built in apps updates and permanantly be watching capacity... simply not praticable.

There are some nice features but storage should be advertised (tops) as 2GB internal memory instead of 4.

I've been a Sony fan since K310i but this one issue has just disapointed me to the point that I'll be returning it and switch to other device.

I can't download any new apps my internal memory is full, I've moved all apps that can be moved to sd card and deleted ones that can be deleted. Is there any way I can set sd card as default so I can download new apps straight to the card? I have the same problem with music, I can transfer once they're on the device but I can't save straight to the card and now my internal memory is full I can't do anything?

I stopped using flash drive and now it so happened due to some reason I had to switch off my phone and when I turned it on...the sd card apps are not displayed in menu. I don't understand what to do. Can anyone help me??

Interna menor issue.

Raikiku — Fri, 18 Sep 2015 22:53:08 GMT

Hi all. I have a problemm about the internal memoriy of my E3 device. I tried to download a game by the play store (0,9GB) having 1.3GB of free memory. The game wasn't install because "There is not sufficient free memory"...

Then, I go to settings> apps > apps admin and my free internal memory was reduced to 300MB... I cleared cache and a few more files and restart my device, but the memory issue didn't fix... Anyone knows why happen this and how can I resolve this problem?

Thanks.

Dear Muddassir,

Out of 4 gb Internal memory, nearly 2.3gb is used for Firmware and system files. Only 1.7 gb is available for user Applications.
But you can save the memory by uninstalling / disabling the unnecessary system Apps.
