Data Storage overloads itself

UtopianFreak — Mon, 23 Dec 2013 05:04:23 GMT

So i hace the following problem with the Xperia C:
The data storage of the phone and memory card keeps overloading itself what i mean is that for an unknown reason it increasingly uses storage space without me downloading from my pc or the internet. The results is very little space becomes availible, files get corrupted and my phone slows down.

Phone Status: external storage 4GIG sd card (new san disc sd card), internal storage 1,2 GiG, phone was reset to factory settings about 8 hours ago and both memory areas formatted. AVG anti virus Pro Protected

Description of behaviour: I will plug the phone into my PC (which is virus free AVG Protected) the launch the Media go application and move some songs accross about 50, i will disconect my phone and play the music and very shortly after that when i access my phone to try play the music again the songs will jump in bit rate the rerepeat the last 2 seconds this is then followed by the phone swallowing up its own memory then i am left with almost no space on the phone and memory card with corrupt files.

Notes: I have only had the phone for about 8 days, only downloaded from apps from play store.

If anyone can please assist me as soon as possible

Have you updated lately,after you got your phone?It is clearly you do not have a virus,if you say you use antivirus and it is a new phone.

This has not worked and i'm overly p@#$%^%$^% off now, spent over R300 on data and it does exactly the same!!!
I feel like taking this piece of S#$% to the closest sony shop and demanding my money back!

I moved from black berry to Sony and still have crap!
I'm just really frustrated because i spent a lot of money on data, phone covers and purchasing anti viruses et cetera and the device is not even coming close to my expections by not working on a basic items such as music or pictures.

I took out the memory card just used the phone as normal and it seems to be working fine.

Is the a micro SD card problem with these phones, i tried a 2 gig and a 4gig card and both gave me the above problem. are the cards to big for the phones?

Re: Data Storage overloads itself

No,the phone should work fine with cards up to 32GB.But there are some compatibility issues between the device and some micro sd cards.

Xperia C storage issues

Sam_AJ — Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:28:48 GMT

This issue really am getting worst. I am frustrated that i cant install any apps to my phone because of the limited internal storage. I have tried everything that this support forum suggested and still failed to resolve this issue. i hope for an update that can resolve this problem soon from sony.
