Transfer data to SD card notification

tom_durkin — Fri, 10 May 2013 12:37:12 GMT

I keep getting a really annoying 'Transfer data to SD card' notification in my notification list, there is also an icon in my notification bar that keeps asking me to move everything to the SD card because the storage is 75% full. I have done this and now there is nothing to transfer to the SD card (the actual button in the transfer menu is greyed out) but it still pops up every time i remove it. There is 2.21GB left on internal storage so enough room for plenty more apps etc. so there is no reason why it should pop up. Does anyone know how to get rid of this?

Hi tom.durkin,

There is no way to stop it. Keep in mind about 2 Gb is 75% so that is why it is telling you. Sometimes when there's nothing to move it appears just to remind you. You can't stop it from appearing again but you can clear in from the notification bar by just sliding it to any side or pressing the "clear" button.

You may actually be able to turn off this notification. When you get the notification, tap and hold it, select info about the app and then turn off the option for messages in this app.

Re: Transfer data to SD card notification

Check with the maker of that application (Unlikely). Cannot do that with any current phone unless rooted these days. Internal memory is needed today to make majority of apps run better so it's a waste of time. Good applications will move their "data" to SD within the application settings and that helps save space. Good Ebook reader, RSS feed, Music/Video, Photo SW all have store data on SD.

Using 1.4GB with 68 applications and 10.0 Free. Big games, I'll play through, delete and install something else.

A rooted phone with the right application will let you move apps that support SD transfer but on your own with that!

I have a similar issue but it's just the audio files I can't move, the option is greyed out when performing transfers, my only thought is that when I set up the phone and migrated all my data from my iPhone it doesn't register the audio files in the right way, they play fine though. Using a Z2 any advice?

I did as you suggested however it shows the app notification as already in the off position. Its very annoying and it is constantly popping up. This only began after the android 5 update. Please help. also in lock screen it says "no service" at top left of notification bar. As far as i can tell there is no issues with my service. 3rd the camera quality is not as good as reviews would lead me to believe. most pictures are rather grainy and this is on high MP ...what could be the problem? i have auto pictures thing set as on.

thanks

BTW i have an Xperia Z3

There used to be an option to block notifications in the memory app with 4.4.4 but it disappeared after upgrading to 5.0.2

I also noticed this incredibly annoying notification. I wish there was a way to get rid of it. Sony please take notice and give us a way to remove it.

Hi guys I've met the same problem but I've found a way around. Steps:
1. Install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.araneaapps.android.apps.notificationdisable (notification blocker)
2. It will ask you to give some permissions on first start. Give them and re-open the app.
3. Uncheck the box "Hide System Apps".
4. Type "Memory" in the Searchbox (or the word for "memory" in your system language e.g. Deutsch, French, Italian, Spanish).
5. A result will appear. Check the box near it.
6. That's it

If you wonder how it works - It clears the notification bar for you but don't worry - It won't wipe away anything that you haven't marked in the app.

Giving this app a try, good find. I searched but it looked like they all required root so I gave up.

This notification is freaking ridiculous. I installed the app and in 3 days the notification was blocked 57 (FIFTY SEVEN)times. This is absurd. Please allow the user to disable this notification, forward this information to the dev team. It's so annoying and I shouldn't have to install a third party app to keep my sanity.

Re: The move data to SD card notification needs to be removed.
