How to disable the "75% of storage is used" warning?

KuhstRidon — Sat, 19 Dec 2015 17:56:29 GMT

Hey there,

is there a way to disable this annoying message in Android 5.1.1? In the Storage-App is a checkbox for messages but its greyed out...

You can't disable the message.

Yeah, i expected an answer like this. Since i upgraded my old Xperia P to the Z5C i have the feeling Sony really wants to get rid of their long term customers.

Anyway, thank you for your reply.

@KuhstRidon

You could start moving music, videos, pictures to the SD card to free up some space.

yeah, i could do this, but why do i have 32gb of storage if i can effectively use only 24?

@KuhstRidon

You can use it all up but you will get that warning, and 95% warning, I find it annoying too

@KuhstRidon There was a thread in Z section:

/t5/Xperia-Z-ZL-ZR/How-do-I-disable-the-notification-quot-Transfer-data-to-SD-card/m-p/1020922#M60314

I tried it back on 5.0.2 and it worked. Cannot guarantee it still works now.

Sure, keep us updated. You can try that whenever you get your hands on a laptop/computer.

I recently had my hands on my dads notebook and got ADB running. After some trouble with the RSA-Key i simply deactivated the message with

adb shell pm hide com.sonymobile.storagechecker

Thank you very much for solving my problem and this little but very sweet christmas gift ;). The knowlede of how to use ADB will be very helpfull in the future.

Have some nice Christmas Days and a happy New Year!

Btw: My Z5C is running on Android 5.1.1
