3. 1 As noted above some Android phones 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 be filled stopping the taking of new pictures for example while there is still considerable free space in the application area or vice versa stopping the download and installation of new applications even though there is free memory in the content area Note 2 Some devices with an integrated storage have abandoned the distinction between the application area and the content area when it comes to Factory Data Reset As a result there is no choice to do Factory Data Reset and preserve content in such devices all content is mandatorily and completely deleted from the device when a reset is performed In contrast Sony Mobile has done the integration in a manner which makes it possible to preserve user content in this situation therefore when performing a Factory Data Reset the default will still be to only remove applications and their data and an option box must be checked if also all content is to be removed
