[Q] Problem With Contacts In My Xperia ZL - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help Guys.
I'm Using Xperia ZL C6503
OS v4.2.2 Jelly Bean
Stock Rom & Kernel
There Seem To Be A Problem With My Built-In Contacts App
When I Pressed Import Contacts, It Gave Me An Error Message:
"Memory Full. Could Not Import Contacts."
I Know My Memory's Not Full So How Can This Happen? I Have A Remaining 1Gb Storage & 1Gb Remaining Ram.
Is This A Bug Or Something? Is There A Fix?
I Already Did Clear The Cache & Data Of Contacts App & Contact Storage App.
I Don't Want To Format My Device Now Coz I'm Busy With My Job. I Hope There's A Fix. Else I'll Consider Format My Final Resort.

Here's The Screenie.

[Q] unremovable icon on gallery

Well, the subject says it all. There is a thumbnail of a talking Pierre the parrot video in my gallery. I recorded some videos and deleted them once using androzip file mgr. But this thumbnail do not go away. I tried many things from removing thumbnail caches to reinstalling the app. When I try to press the menu button after selecting it, the gallery force stops. Pls help. Thanks in advance.
phone: Sony xperia S
android 2.3.7
Have you tried holding the icon on the screen you are on now?
Normally, you hold that icon until it has a blue tick, then at the top right, you should see a trash can.
Hopefully, that should work!

Try to click the icon... if it is still playable, the file was not totally deleted... and that explain the icon...

Happened to me once, try rebooting the phone.
it's still there
Thanks guys, I have already tried the things you've told me but there were no good. :-( I can select the item in the gallery. But when I press the menu button, it force closes. There is no delete icon when I select or tick the icon. Plus the file cannot be opened.
P.s. Can I format the internal memory without affecting tue system files? i.e. Android folder etc.? (i have backups for media files)
You can select the repair option in Sony pc companion, be aware that this will delete all internal data such as apps, contacts. All external data will be untouched.
Okay. But formatting the internal memory would affect only to the internal memory right? It doesn't affect the system memory such as android OS data right?

Did you try to wipe just Gallery application data?
One more thing: Try installing for example QuickPic from Play Store and see if there is this phantom image too
Chossing the repair option will erase all data in the internal memory such as for example, your progress in games, contacts, calendar, think of it as when you first bought the phone it will be required to make all the necessary configurations. The files that will remain if they are located in the external memory will be (photos, files, etc).
Thanks for your help everyone!! I'm gonna format the internal memory. First of all I have to fix ma computer. Then I'll back everything up and format the internal memory. Will let ya know the results when I'm done.
One more question. If I format the internal memory, would the default or original sony ericsson apps (e.g. Clock, messaging, music, FM radio etc.) be there after the formattiong process? Or do I lose them forever?
SOLVED!
Yay!! I tried k_myk's suggestion of deleting via another gallery app and it worked!!! Thank you for all of you guys! (specially to k_myk) Now I'm saved!! No need to format!!

[Q] Not enough space to install / update apps

Hi.
Last evening, I've got this message while upgrading GMail :
Translation : Not enough storage place.
But GMail is only 4 Mb and my internal memory is far from full :
And my external SD card is almost empty :
I have had to uninstall an other app to fix this issue but next I will face it I will be stuck as I need all installed apps.
Is it normal to get this message with more than 200 Mb free space ?
Thanks.
I know, maybe its nog gonna help but go to recovery and Wipe cache and dalvik

[Q] Insufficient space on phone?

Hey.
I have seen this issue pop up a lot with no real resolution.
My girlfriends S2 keeps trying to update applications such as Chrome and Whats App, and they keep on failing to update. It seems like it downloads the update but when it attempts to install it, it gives an error saying there is insufficient space. Also, I can download other applications fine it seems.
Here is the storage specs.
Internal Storage Total Space 1.97gb Available 160mb
Internal Storage Total Space 11.49gb Available 8.14gb
SD Card Total Space 1.84gb Available 1.82gb
USB storage doesn't show anything, it just says Storage Space is running out.
I deleted the log files and all but it still happens. Tried clearing the dalvhik cache but nothing seems to work!
Would appreciate any help please
1st of all
As this is a question, it would be more appropriate to put it in Q&A thread, don't you think?
2nd. Some options you can try:
Clear data of Google play and Google service framework. Reboot
Delete the google account, reboot and re-enter it.
Or go into CWM and wipe data/factory reset as your absolute last option. Don't for get to backup, if you try this option.
Good luck
Yeah true maybe a mod can move it sorry.
Do I do that by going into Applications and Clearing the data?
When you say delete the google account do you mean like remove her account from the phone and readd it?
EDIT
I deleted the data in Play and Google services and it still doesn't work.
I seen it mentioned before that doing a factory reset does not solve the problem
Not google services, google services framework
Yes you can do that in application manager
Yes remove account from settings, reboot and re-enter it.

Okay I did the account deletion and it seemed to fix it.
All the applications that couldn't previously update, updated.
Vine gave an insufficient space error but then I tried to update it again and it worked fine.
But Chrome wont install.
It was previously installed but couldn't update, so I deleted it. And now I can't install it.
Says insufficient space. Any recommendations?

You probably should know that when the system storage (where apps are) get's "full" when it reaches something near 1.7 GB out of 1.9, mainly because the rest is needed for cache storage etc..
So i recommend keepng it below 1.65 GB, do you have below 1.65 GB?
Try to delete what you think is unnecessary apps. Install google chrome and if it works, means you don't have enough space..

Yeah I deleted some things and it works fine.
So the problem is the internal storage.
It says Internal Storage Total Space 1.97gb Available 500mb
However, apps are only taking up like 200mb and cache is like 1.3mb so where is the rest of the data being saved?
Her other storage space is like 8gb free so why aren't apps saving to that?

If you have 500mb available, you have more than enough free space..
Cache are in insternal storage, but mostly are in /data/data folder.
The other storage is where pictures, videos etc are stored.

[Q] Merge internal storage and phone memory

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to merge the Internal storage and phone memory together as I only have 500 MB of app storage (internal storage) and most of that is took up by default Google apps and I have a unused 2GB phone memory.
So is it possible to merge/combine this together so I have a total of 2.5GB for apps without adding a alternative ROM?
I have a rooted phone with 4.1.1 Jelly bean. Thanks, zacy5000.
Please help me. I really need it as I keep constantly getting the low storage notification and all my Google Apps need updating.
Please help.
Bump

Not enough storage available

I have my device rooted and everything has been fine i also have Xposed installer xblast tools and xperia xposed. I mainly wanted to be able to customise some colours and icons etc. Recently though i have being having problems with a lot of apps including the camera closing i.e android.process.whatsaap has stopped etc. When trying to send the error report or reloading the app i get not enough storage available. I checked and there is about 7gig left on the internal card and about 2 gig of system space. I also have a 64gig external card but makes no difference as the apps are installed internally. I have to keep using App Cache Cleaner to get the phone working properly again. Now app cache cleaner only reports about 4mb of data in the cache not 7gig!! It normally happens after some moderate browsing and whatsapp messeginh etc. I at a loss though because it does not make sense when there is clearly available system space. Is ther an issue with the latest kitkat update 4.4.2? Anyone else had this issue?

I don't think it s because of Xperia Firmware.
when u root ur device and install lots of 3rd party modules with root access to customize ur phone incoming issues most likely to be because of them and not firmware.
check if u change any system properties about Storage! like mount ext memory with internal or ...
that happened for me but i just reset phone
Good Luck
:good:
