For a developer it is important to note that from a programming point of view the location names used to refer to the different memory areas described in Note 1 are still valid i e the area used for applications data is still present as is the area used for content sdcard In reality sdcard is a so called symbolic link to data media However from inside an Android application sdcard can still be used For example you can use sdcard DCIM 100Android to find all camera images The continued use of sdcard to access the content area ensures compatibility across different products and Android releases in this regard Trademarks and acknowledgements All product and company names mentioned herein are the trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved All other trademarks are property of their respective owners Visit www sonymobile com for more information

16. s 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 2014 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 when you leave an application you should minimise the use of apps that run all the time Such apps could include for example applications that frequently download social networking service updates You could also consider using a static wallpaper instead of a live wallpaper To see which apps and services are currently active go to Settings gt Apps gt Running You should have at least 50 MB and ideally 100 MB or more of free RAM to avoid slowdowns
