Hi all, is there any way to increase total memory in internal storage? I've got xperia P and there is total memory just 11,26GB (from 16GB), that's just absurd.. it would be great to increase it to 13Gb (for exapmle.. I know there is no way to get full 16GB). I think it's not impossible, what do you think? is there way how to do it?
BTW I don't need 2 GB of phone memory, I'm happy with 1GB as well.. so maybe steel some space from that memory..
Thanks for answers

I've been prowling websites, SE's included and I find contradictions on the amount of memory - internally and the amount of the internal storage (not microSD) in the X10.
Most sites seem to suggest that there is 1GB of RAM memory. The OS/Firmware takes up 384-400mb ROM.
There are sellers who say that the X10 has 8 or 16GB of internal storage. There are others that say it's only 2GB. I think that a lot of sites are confusing the microSD with internal storage. Rogers site seems to suggest 8GB internal storage and ATT says 2GB.
The Samsung Galaxy S seems to come with 16GB storage and a 8GB card at ATT.
The X10 they are selling seems to be with 2GB storage and 2GB sd card. (SonyStyle is selling the X10 with a 8GB card incl.)
Could someone clarify this? Is it just confusion with the SD card or did ATT order up the X10 with less internal storage than the rest of the world, guarantee that 'geeks' wouldn't be as interested....
From what I've seen they're all the exact same hardware wise, and the internal memory is the same. Was supposedly 1gb internal memory in the phone, but not sure if it's actually true, or if 1.6 limits available system ram.
The x10 from Rogers in Canada comes with 16GB card installed. (They did a few months ago anyway)
1GB ROM (internal mem)
384MB RAM (used when phone is on for programs and tasks)
"practically" unlimited Storage (mem card)

I don't understand the 'practically unlimited' part. Isn't one of the reasons that people want Eclair/Froyo the ability to store apps on the memory card rather than the internal memory? And the better message auto-management?

"practically" unlimited storage was regarding size of memory card you can use in your device, which as of now can be max. 32 GB.
That´s 3rd point..first is internal memory (ROM), second is operating memory (RAM) and finally third is external memory (MicroSD card)
So I noticed it says this phone has 16gb of memory, but when I look at the phone storage it says 9.75gb total and internal store 2gb. Is this another memory thing like the desire z / g2 having 4gb of memory but only 1.5gb user accessible?
Same here.
yep it is blocked off to OS and stuff
mine say the same. not sure how they keep getting away with this.
Theoretically it's 16... Then they partition for the OS and read only files. All storage devices are the same way.
They could have advertised 10 gb and be a little more realistic

What could you possibly need 11gb for on a phone anyway?

I have a rooted HAM2 device. Can someone tell me why does my /system folder has 1gig but the phone has 16gigs (12gigs usable)? Right now, it's almost maxed out. Would it be practical to extend the partition?

You actually have about 12 GB free space on your internal memory after all the overhead. It's not maxed out by any means. I added an external SD and set it up as the default storage.
Hi, first i want to say sorry for my English, because I'm from Poland So, my XT1524 have decrased internal storage. How? I don't know. In TWRP after full wipe, and factory reset i see 4800MB left. There should be around 8GB of memory i think. I don't know what can I do with it Best regards Andrew.
Your OS and what not uses a portion of the internal storage. It's like that for all phones. It's just a lot more noticeable on lower end devices.
What he said ^^ even though the phone is advertised as 8GB you would still only get 4+ GB of available space due to the ROM/OS eating up a part of the 8GB.
