How do I disable the notification "Transfer data to SD card - Internal storage is 75% full"?

How do I disable the notification "Transfer data to SD card - Internal storage is 75% full"? after update to Lollipop

This is ridiculous. Why would they turn off this feature? I too have an SD card full of music, and internal memory hovering around 75% (meaning nearly 4 GB free).

I was annoyed enough that I looked into what's using up so much memory. The single biggest culprit: Facebook, which I can't uninstall anyway!

Hi @rainbowgoblin

I should use the File Commander app, you could read about it here:

You can also set with the Android adb, to store apps in the SD Card intead of the internal memory.

You should have ADB installed, the SDK up to date, and the USB debugging turned on from your device on the Developer Options.

Then plug your Xperia to your computer and from a command prompt (you'll probably have to be in the folder where adb.exe is, most likely something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe) run this command:

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2 (where 0 represents the internal storage and 2 represents the SD Card storage).

To clear warnings about the available memory space on your device you can run:

adb shell pm hide com.sonymobile.storagechecker

I hope can be useful.

How to stop the notification to move data to SD Card due to short storage space.

It appears again and again after wiping away.

This worked for me. Took me a while to download Android Studio to my PC and locate the folder where adb.exe ended up (C:/users/<user>/AppData/Android/sdk/platform-tools). When that was done, I enabled developer options in my phone and then engaged debug mode. Connected to PC over USB. Opened windows command prompt, changed to the above-mentioned folder, and typed the suggested command. Insants results. Thank you!

For a common user and the expensive paid smartphone this is not a userfriendly option! Can´t be that difficult for a developer to simply add a small turn off notification switch or similar. For me, Sony this is your job as you already received a lot of money from me. Just my two cents!

Dear Sophia, in the next release, please add the option for the user to disable this message.

I have over 2 GB of free memory on my Z2 and this message is very annoying. If you want to protect unexperienced users from full memory, at least set another barrier. On devices with bigger memory like the Z2 and upwards, the 75% are not useful, you get messages way to early! If you want to stick to your warnings, at least make them absolute and not and not relative (eg. less than 512 MB).

Please discuss this with the team and give us some feedback, thanks!

It would be nice if the application "memory" could function then... As soon as I try to move it stops working...

And maybe 75% on a tablet with that small memory isnt very much.. let me know when I hit 97%.

I've still half empty sd card but can't get rid of it

@dwilkins44 Doesn't matter, the apps are installed in internal. That's the memory you have to clear up.
