Hi all,

im frustrated by the internal storage.

I just bought this phone 2 days ago.

downloaded some games, moved to SD card (external).

checked back the internal storage, its left with 2GB.
is there any way to get back most of the memory back?
i tried clearing up the cache and stuffs, still 2GB.

its 16GB internal storage phone.

any ideas?

or isit because of all the pre installled apps?

if it is...

i regret buying this phone sighhhhhh

I am sorry but apps moved to external are not entirely moved. Their data is still stored in internal memory. Read this:

Internal memory problem

Hi all,

Using a sony c5 ultra.
I had posted a thread b4 this about int. Memory.
Thought I had solved the problem by factory resetting my phone.
After reset it went up from 2gb of space to almost 10gb.

But after ive installed games and stuffs, it went down to 4gb. I've moved all apps to external memory, but it's still the same.

Under phone storage, it shows app taking up most of the space.
Does anyone knows how to counter this?
Idw to delete apps or media for the sake of installing another

The C5 Ultra will get Updated to Android 6.0 soon or later.
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/10/06/sony-xperia-and-android-6-0-marshmallow/
Android 6.0 have Support for Formating the Sdcard as Internal. That allows you to move Biggest Apps to Sdcard.
So dont regret to bought this Phone, with 6.0 you will Love it. all Android 5.0 Phones can't realy move Apps to Sdcard. Only the Apk Files, and that are Small.
So 6.0 will strike. But buy a realy fast Micro Sd Card. Class10 and good in writing. Because Most Manufacturer Show only reading speed, writing is importante.
See u back with 6.0, just matter of Time.
