Z3c internal memory issue..ongoing frustration

I'm sure everyone is aware of this internal memory issue of only 16GB and 2GB RAM.

I keep my phone as clean as possible and do not have a lot of apps on my phone.

I did read somewhere that users of another Xperia model where having the same issue and Sony actually sent out a update which removed some of the bloatwhere and freed up internal memory.

Anyone think that Sony will do this for us or just leave us to stump up the money for the Z5c which has 32GB memory or wait for people to change to another brand of mobile.

No manufacturer should be selling a phone with anything less than 32GB internal memory at least!!!

What's the point in giving us the option to increase memory with a sd card up to 128GB (which I have), when we still are limited due to the internal memory issue and having to delete some to add more!!!

Mine sits at between 75% and 95% full all the time. I can never get it below 75%

That's my daily rant done.

I agree with you, but other brands do the same and well it's 2015, back to the future day came and went, phones should have at least 32GB of internal memory, with that said, do you have all your pictures, videos, music, on the internal storage or SD card?

Everything which is possible to put on the sd card is on the sd card, not much else I can think of to do!!!

Or am I doing something wrong, because not many people are complaining about this.

Something its not right, if I were you I would perform a factory reset on my phone.

What do you think is wrong, what looks wrong.

I can do a factory reset, but it's a real pain reloading and resetting all my personal preferences!!

@152bobby

not all the memory its accounted, perhaps there are other files from a different app
