ok so what exactly are you trying to say that this is problem due to current build version ?? is this s normal behaviour of software which i am facing???

i am repasting my query

" in setting > apps > device memory it is showing 509 used and 1.2 gb free, and in setting > apps > on sd card, it is showing 511 mb used 1.2 gb free, which is almost same as device memory, i have 8 gb sd card in my phone, i was expecting that in setting > apps > on sd card it will show my full memory available on SD card i.e. 8 gb, but it is showing only 2 gb on sd card , please explain what logic is this."

i just want to know that what memory it is showing down their is it showing device memory on sd card ??

i had just visited one mobile repair shop he told me that in xperia e3 you will not see the sd card memory description on setting > apps > on sd card- he said there you will only see the device memory level and the apps on sd card which you have moved. Was he was correct??
Sorry if I am frustrating.

That seems to be a bug, you could contact Sony directly

BUG !!! You know “uliwooly” this word is nightmare for me, I am extremely new landed in the world of android, and my first encounter is with “software bug” so unfortunate for me isn’t it ?

As you are saying to contact support directly I had already mailed before opening this thread, its three days there is no reply. And on phone number they don’t know about this issue.

Please guide if there is anything that I myself can do to get ride of this bug some manual flashing or some thing.

One thing more I have to say that, while exploring the thread I had come accrose one more user with the same problem here is the link http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-E3-E3-Dual/Xperia-E3-Not-able-to-move-apps-from-internal-memory...

Thanks in advance
