Sam Rae: Hi Windle, one moment please.

Sam Rae: 1GB

Windle: then why dose mine only have 802.4 mb

Sam Rae: some of it is resevered for the system

Windle: you website also says 13 megapixel rear camera

Windle: but i have 12.8

Windle: There’s something strange with the Settings > Storage Information.... it says

Available 1.67GB (1710.08 mb)

(used) apps (app data & media content 247mb)

That adds up to 1957.08 mb

Assuming there’s 2gb of device memory (2048mb)

That’s 90.92mb missing?

The total compressed size of kernel and rom zip is 503mb

It also says total internal storage 10.85gb (11110.4mb)

This means there’s only 12.52Gb of the 16gb advertised

Now im no maths expert but.... Im thinking there should be roughly 14.6gb usable

Dose this add up? There seems to be 2.08gb missing and I cant see other partitions using that much not even with swap (I don’t know if it even has swap).

Sam Rae: I dont deal in the development side of things so could not dig into the file by file storage of the system particualrly when you are dealing with kernels etc.

Windle: when i was sold the device i was told 1gb of ram

Windle: 16gb of storage

Windle: not "up to" 16gb

Sam Rae: "up to" 16 Gb of storage, some is resevered and used by stem resources. This also includes bundled system apps specific to regional versions of the firmware so the kernel/ROM size will vary.

Windle: the entire operating system is 500mb

Windle: there dosnt need to be 4x that reserved

Windle: where has it gone?

Sam Rae: again, the ROM size will vary from network to network and region to region as well as between various reasles and updates.

Windle: im asking about the storage space

Sam Rae: again this specs outline what it has and it is covered by the "up to". The RAM will always have a portion reserved for system use.

Sam Rae: The storage space will vary as well based on the above criteria

Windle: ok to sum this up

Windle: i was sold a sony phone with a locked bootloader

Windle: that you didn't lock

Windle: but was sealed with your logo

Windle: and you cant tell me who installed restricting software on the device

Windle: there's is 1gb of ram but i can only see and use 802.4gb

Sam Rae: Every one of our handsets comes with an locked bootloader the only variation is if it can be unlocked which is up to the network provider/region your particular handset was manufcatured for.

Windle: 16gb of flash memory is actually 12.52gb

Sam Rae: Under almost no circumstance will your handset run out of RAM if you are using appropriately developed applications compatible with your handset.

Sam Rae: for the storage, again please do not forget "up to"

Windle: 13 mega pixels is actually 12.8 megapixels

Windle: I assume .2 is reserved for the systems freinds?

Sam Rae: I am unsure where you have got the 12.8mp details from, the Xperia T does in fact have a 13mp camera

Windle: three installed restricting software onto my device then sealed it with your logo

Windle: and sony seems to be ok with that

----------------- heres the bit that really :mad: me off -----------------

Sam Rae: if we wish them to sell our devices there must be some compramise

Windle: is this what you compromised?

Windle: "We’re supporting the open developer community"

Windle: "The open developer community is important to us at Sony, and we have therefore made it possible to unlock the boot loader"

Sam Rae: We provide a very high level of support to the development community, this does not change

Windle: this does not change?

Windle: then why have you allowed three to lock my bootloader and seal it with your logo

Sam Rae: its quite simple really, we would like you to be able to buy your phone from as many palces as possible and we would like you to be able to customise your handset as you see fit, however in some cases it is not possbile for us to offer the best of both worlds so we must make comprimises

Windle: i went out looking for the green symbol

Windle: been more than happy with the w200i the w300i the u20i the r800i

Windle: but this thing

Windle: im feeling kinda butt hurt

Windle: and im unable to return it because i have used the device (turned it on)

Windle: so be paying for it for the next 2 years

Windle: so ill*

Windle: can you at-least aid me in removing this bootloader restriction?

Windle: hows about a compromise for the end user

Windle: a loyal customer

Sam Rae: No we can not as I am sure you aware given the research you have obiviously performed into this topic.

Windle: "so we must make comprimises"

Windle: im not even gonna start with the battery

Sam Rae: I have answered your questions up to this point and I am sorry you are unhappy with your product, however is there anything else i can assit with today?

Windle: you were a quality brand. past tense

Windle: you have answered my question

Sam Rae: Thank you for contacting Sony Xperia Support.
