Hi @TyronK, I am sorry to say that according to the information which I have available, Xperia M4 Aqua is not among the devices which will receive Nougat. You can find a complete list of Xperia devices which have gotten, or will get Nougat here: http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaxa/kb/8019307401646073d015693290721003ab2/

Sony could open for the possibility to use adoptable storage, and let us choose.

Or they could let us uninstall the bloatware... I have virually no space available and must delete temp files almost everyday!

The reply when asking the support:

"We would like to thank you for the comprehensive feedback. As a premium manufacturer, we attach great importance to the opinion, criticism and suggestions of our customers. Unfortunately we have no telephones without bloatware in the assortment."

Goodbye, Sony...

Then make a fix for it. It's pretty unacceptable. I love Sony products, but now I'm far from impressed.

I am sorry to hear that you feel that way @Usagi_Shimoaoi. I will make sure to forward your thoughts internally as user feedback.

Hi

This is Sony M4 Aqua storage problem the best solution:

 - the phone is unlockable, you won't obtain root priviligies.

- Marsmallow support adoptable storage, but Sony's engineers disables this feauteres in M4 Aqua, WHY?

- BUT, in ADB mode you can enable this faetures!!!

- install ADB driver, power off,  and hold down volume up + plugin usb cable, while blue led light

- open cmd in ADB folder and type: fastboot devices > list your phone s/n.

- type adb devices > but not list phone! > type: fastboot reboot > phone is starting, display Sony logo and type: adb devices and it list your phone s/n.

- if phone is ADB mode, type: adb shell > sm list-disks

- take note of your device ID (disk: xxx,x)

- to partition the entire SD card space as internal storage use these commands: sm partition disk:xxx,x private > BUT this not worked me!

- sm partition disk:xxx,x mixed 50 > IT WORKS!!!

- phone rebooting and 16GB C10 sdcard from 8GB will be internal storage, summary the phone is 16GB internal storage!!!

I've just done this today after receiving the phone (2303) for some reason when I go to install another app with limited internal storage it doesn't want to use the sd card version (one underneath) so I just sent it to the portable one instead as that worked.. I did 50/50 with memory and everything else still works great!

I'm trying to install some apps, but this phone internal storage is very low.

is there a way to make my SD card as an internal storage? I don't mind if i lose

my warranty, the phone has been working fine for this whole year now. i just

want to have more storage in it.
