Userdata parition reduced to 2GB ???

Jean_ — Sun, 22 Nov 2015 19:50:56 GMT

Hi,

Somehow the data (userdata mmcblk0p14) partition of my Xperia T has been reduced to 2 GB.(mount point /data).

There seems to be an extra partition 10Gb (SDCard mmcblk0p15) (mount point /mnt/int_storage) but is not used to install apps.

Bootloader is locked,official firmware 9.2.A.1.205.

I've used 'Sony PC companion' to reinstall the latest official firmware.

Didn't resolve the problem.

Please advise. Would like to keep the official firmware.

Jean

Xperia T model LT30p

Locked bootloader

Android 4.3

Build number 9.2.A.1.205

Kernel version 3.4.0-perf-ga3976ea

Total internal memory should be 16GB

Using Diskinfo reveals

1.8GB used

199MB free

SDCard mmcblk0p15 (/mnt/int_storage)[ext4] 11.1GB

That's how its supposed to work, 2GB for apps and the rest for pictures, music, videos.

Check the white paper

http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiat/supportDocumentation/

Memory comprises approximate 2.5 GB of firmware, 2 GB of “Phone memory” for downloaded applica-

tions and 10.8 GB of “Internal stor

age” for music, pictures, movies and some application data. For a more

detailed description of the different

types of memory and how they are used, See “Memory in Android

phones” on page 17.

Seems you're absolutely right (but you already knew that).

Very disappointing only 2GB out of the 16BG can be used for app's.

Seems I'm forced to abandon the official firmware to get more joy out of this device. (regretabble)

Thanks,

Jean

Not quite, you could root your phone > partition the SD card
