Not enough space in internal memory

HI there,

I have a problem with my xperia j. When i plug in my pc, in my phone i can see 2 drives, one is my sd card and the other is the internal memory (2 gb), this one has almost 1gb free space. But i receive a "not enough free space" message every time i try to update any program. If a take a look to storage menu, i see a internal storage (2Gb) with almost 1 gb free and a internal memory (740 mb aprox) and this one just only has 20 mb free. It seems like the phone has 2 partitions. I move all apps that i can to my sd card but i can't free more space. How can i solve this? I have a galaxy and it only has 1 partition (4gb). How can i have one 2 gb partition in my xperia J?

Thanx in advance.

I do have the same problem with my new Sony Xperia J.

There was a message, that there were updates available for some apps on the smartphone.

 I decided to accept making updates.

Then I received the same message, although there was some space left.

What's wrong ?

Hi, I have the same problem, starts with Google chrome, Google search and today unable to update facebook.

I didn't have installed something in the telephone memory (only wetter.com widget), Free space about 100 MB, but update not possible. All programs with problem are factory installed and we can't move it to internal memory (where I have about 1GB free). I think this is a Sony special problem and it must be fixed by them.

Phone is just 6 months and how should we use it, without update possibility ?

So what can we do ?

Best regards

Holger

Free up some phone memory?? Why didn't I think of that?? Oh wait, I did...still nothing. I need to update my apps and I can't. Everything that can be moved to the SD card has been. What do I do next?

Just delete demo videos,default pictures and other things you are not using.

You can only disable them,deletion is not possible because they are default apps.If you root however,you can remove them.
