Xperia L's Storage Problem ?

Hi guys !
I ( along with lots of other users ) am facing a big problem with Xperia L. There's some kind of memory leak with the device.
The default storage space for appsdata is 1.57 GB. However, for some unknown reason, the free space & appsdata does not add up to 1.57 GB
This problem is not just restricted to me. A lot of users are also facing this problem. The problem is temporarily solved by factory reset, but it reoccurs again after some time.
I have attached two screenshots.( took a screenshot when i encountered this problem first time & ALSO, took a screenshot after factory reset when i still had this problem )
Sony staff hasn't yet responded to this problem in this thread despite the fact that it was first reported about a month ago !!
( Google this " Xperia L issues" & click on the first link. [ can't post the link as i am a new user } )

me too
i am also facing d same problem. had done factory reset..still it persists..i dont know whether it is due to the latest update..photo quality also reduced after the latest update

I have these for a week now though not sum up the total storage but it never came down so far

I'd also experienced this issue
try this method, it's work.
you need a rooted phone to run this app Download
Install and Open Menu>Batch Actions>Scroll to Manipulate data>Run clear cache for user & system apps>Tick check
Reboot your phone
Check your storage again
Other app doesn't work like clean master because those apps no longer have access to clear cache for system apps. :good:

Temporal solution is to turn off Walkman app n settings and not to install Spotify, because these players cause the problem. I don't know if the other music apps do the same, I didn't check it.

I tried turning off walkman app, but that didn't work for me. & i don't have spotify installed :/

When you turn off the app it stops the memory sucking, it doesn't give you the memory back. It just prevents further consumption.

ahh.. I didn't know that..
I have a small ( probably silly ) doubt here : when i went to Settings>apps to force stop the walkman app, i noticed there were 2 walkman apps in the all apps tab( one was 140 kb & other was 4 mb approx. ). Which one should i force stop ??
Should i do this every time i switch on my phone ?
Thanks a lot.

Don't force stop them, turn them off, it's the button to the right of force close button. And to be sure, turn off both Walkman apps, one of them is music visualisation.

no need to force stop walkman or album..just stop using chrome..use other browsers like opera or firefox..then the internal memory wont decrease..also dont use official facebook app..:

dont forget deleted file cache wechat,album cache

for this kind of operation I like Link2SD, go to the "more" menu in the bottom and select "clean cache"...
another good is "android assistant" that has clean cache too... all these are free from google play to download.

Also having this Device Memory issue
This issue has been causing me problems too.
I have done lots of testing and monitoring around it, including three full factory resets / clean installs of the latest up-to-date version of Android Jelly Bean for Xperia L (build no. 15.0.2.A.17). I've determined that I can prevent the issue by not installing/using the Spotify music app. This is bothersome for me as I rely on Spotify for my mobile music consumption.
When I install and use Spotify, the Available Device Memory space starts to reduce. It then only takes about a week for the Available memory to reach close to 0mb, with the phone error messages then appearing about not having enough memory to install updates or carry out other functions.
It's now about two or three weeks since I performed (via Sony Update on Windows) a third clean OS install because of this problem and at the moment the phone is working smoothly and its memory is staying more or less constant (without Spotify installed). I will keep monitoring device memory usage for a few more days and then install Spotify one last time. If the memory problem then re-occurs, I'll contact Spotify support (not a pleasant prospect as I've found that whenever I contact their support people they don't seem to properly read my emails but instead offer less-than-helpful pre-packaged "solutions"). I imagine they will suggest (amongst other things) another factory reset / clean install. I will probably carry that out but am not hopeful that the problem will be resolved.
There is a 22-page thread on the Xperia Care support forums about this issue with over 200 posts and more than 5000 views. If anyone else is having this problem, please read the thread and log a "Me Too" about it on the thread's first post so that Sony is kept aware of the issue and works harder on a solution. As a new XDA dev user I can't post a link to the forum thread, so search for "Device memory full in xperia L" on the Xperia Care support forums. You will need to register with Xperia Care before being able to post or log a "Me Too".
Thnx.

hi friends
i have xperia L and when i bought it , Typed on it 8GB internal storage. but in X-plore apk i saw separated 2GB as internal and 4GB as SDcard.
i bought a 16GB sdcard, but Xperia L can't move Data and Apk and ... to it. Social programs can't move video and imgages to it. so i don't use this 16GB for my files.
Why 8GB separated to 2GB and 4GB? that don't Allow system read my 16GB. why?
anybody have my problem?
what are you doing with this problem?... :crying:
thanks

The XL is partioned into 2x 4 GB. One is for system, the other for personal files. You can use Link2sd (and similar) to move apps to your sdcard1. There are also methods to swith the internal and external (micro sd) arround. (in this way you would have 4 + 16 and an 'external' sd of 4 gb)
Tapatalked that sh*t

Try ES file explorer.
ES file explorer has the option of analyzing the SD card. Use it to analyze the internal SD card and then if and when needed you can even delete the memory clog in it. It would be most probably due to cache present in your device.
I have tried it and it works. Try and let me know if it is working for you.

heh...a dumb questions
what means "Flash kernel inside zip" it means to download the room on that link then to unzip and to flash the boot.img?
and after that is there some infos what confuses me...
- Make sure you have TWRP or compatible recovery for kitkat - (This means before i flash the boot.img inside the zip rom i must have a kernel what have included TWRP?)
- Wipe everything but your external/internal storage - (what exactly means this word "but" - is like to wipe everything except internal/external storage - i did try to wipe internal and i got a error and it Fail)
- Move the ROM zip to your device (how may i move the ROM to my device while in a step above you ask me to wipe everything? after wipe what OS my mobile will boot to be detected by computer?)
- Flash it and reboot (if i wipe internal/external storage from where i took the ROM? ... idk but it mess me bad )
- Once the ROM boots, reboot back into recovery (let`s say i used Phantom Kernel, i reboot the phone in TWRP, i did wipe all except internal /external storage, then i reboot it again into TWRP i select install and i flash the ROM , i reboot again and i let the phone boot until the end to load the ROM then restart again, again go in TWRP and flash Gapps, and after all was done, i have no DATA TRAFIC - here comes another question, shall i flash the ROM and then flash Gapps and reboot into system or i shall let my phone to load the ROM and reboot to flash the Gapps?)
I know my post it sounds as dumb but "Flash kernel inside zip" make me confuse and from there i am lost....Any help i appreciate.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry man, maybe it is not compatible with JB, I do not use more JB for a long time, do not remember even as it is done
You can try to see if there are these files in system/app and system/lib
LGEIME.apk
LGEIME_DICT_XT9_bin.apk
LGEIME_THEME_BLACK3.apk
libjni_latinime.so
libjni_lgeime_native.so
libjni_xt9input_v9.so
libMyScriptEngine.so
libMyScriptHWR.so
libvoim.so
If these files are installed correctly it means that it is not compatible with JB

thanks for help Yes, everything is installed so propably it will not work with JB:/ I had a parse error when I installed separately LGEIME.apk.

nice working

theme problem / xposed

Hello. I installed xposed and i changed ro.config.hwtheme=2 to 0 . After that every time i reboot phone theme changes to default. I uninstalled xposed and put back this value from 0 to 2 and now after second rebooting theme changes to default.
How can i fix this?

If you want to have Xposed try to change:
ro.config.themecolor=true for ro.config.themecolor=0
ro.config.hwtheme=1 for ro.config.hwtheme=0
and to freeze application "themes"
Then Xposed should work (sdk22 v78)

xposed on mate 7
hi
how do you get xposed worked
I tried to install v74 sdk22 but then NavBar and the notification bar gets missed.
When i went in the Xposed App it says Framework is installed but not activated
what would bring editing this strings?

You must install v78 sdk22

try to install KangVIP B354
this rom is compatible with L09 and TL10.

Thanks but kangvip got serious bug, i can't swich default storage location to external memory (microsd). Option dissapear from lolipop just after i flashed kangvip :/ i got 100% of my app data, movie, photo on external sd on my kitkat, and i can't move it to internal memory due to it size.
On stock rom (b324, b331) default memory switching works, but stock rom lack's of xposed compatibility.

did you try transfer your data, using some app on KangViP, for example Link2sd?
