1. Backing up data to different memory types Generally you should not save photos videos and other personal content solely on the internal memory of a device If something should happen with the hardware or if the device is lost or stolen the data stored on the device s internal memory is gone forever In adevice where an SD card reader is the main memory it is relatively easy to take the card out and copy all content to a PC or Mac or to an entertainment device with a memory card slot In a product featuring Internal Storage as the main memory it is not possible to physically remove the memory Instead any critical or high value content must either be copied to an external SD card by a special backup application transferred to remote storage over a network mobile or Wi Fi or to a computer via a USB cable To facilitate the transfer of data via a cable the Xperia M5 dual supports Media Transfer Protocol MTP which makes it possible to easily transfer content back and forth between your device and a Windows PC For Apple Mac computers a special application called Sony Bridge for Mac is available with built in support for MTP This application can be downloaded from the Xperia M5 dual support page Note that you do not need to back up or make a copy of applications that you have downloaded from the Google Play Store They can normally be downloaded again after you have set up your Google account to work in a new device2.

3. Information regarding memory presented in this section may be useful to developers when optimising applications for mobile devices Generally all Android devices share the same basic memory setup What differs is how much memory is available to you via the different types of memory and whether your device uses an external SD card or an internal memory chip Any information specific to the particular device model described in this White Paper is noted as such Types of memory The types of memory described and numbered below are consistent with the terminology used in Sony mobile device menus and in other content relating to 2015 Xperia devices 1 Dynamic Memory also known as RAM is used by applications that run when the device is turned on The amount of Dynamic Memory influences how many applications and operating system services can run at the same time The Android operating system automatically closes applications and services that are not being used However such automatic functionality has limits For example if a lower amount of free RAM is available to applications after a new release of the operating system due to increased capabilities in the system device speed will eventually be impacted This is the main reason that a device cannot be indefinitely upgraded to newer releases of Android If you experience problems with RAM for example if the device runs slower than usual or if the Home application restarts frequently w

6. or in a device where the memory has been completely erased Note 1 Some Android devices including Sony Mobile devices from 2012 and Sony Ericsson devices from 2011 and earlier do not use a single Internal Storage for both applications and their data and user content Instead these devices use either an external SD card for user content or a corresponding area of internal memory to reproduce the functionality of an SD card In such devices there is a fixed limit between the application area data and the user content area sdcard with the result that user content can build up and reach this limit When the user content reaches this limit no additional data can be added using any application For example the camera application would no longer be able to capture additional photos even if a considerable amount of free space was available in the application area This limit also applies to the application area Downloading and installing new applications would not be possible even if there was enough free memory in the user content area Note 2 Some devices with integrated storage have abandoned the distinction between the application area and the content area when it comes to a Factory Data Reset As a result there is no option in such devices to perform a Factory Data Reset and preserve content In such devices all content is completely deleted from the device when a reset is performed In contrast Sony Mobile s
