Help with basic android questions.

Hi there, I'm so used to WP8 that this Android is feeling rather confusing.

My mums Xperia sk70i keeps saying it has no space at all left on the phone, which it doesn't.

I bought a 16gb SD card to help solve the problem and it seems it has installed apps on that card now. Sadly old apps are still on the main phone memory.

How do I go about backing up everything that's on the phone to my computer and doing a factory reset, setting the phone to install everything to the SD card and saving her contacts etc. I've backed up contacts onto the memory card so far.

I've backed up my GFs android phone but that was doing all that rooting/flashing crap which apparently I can't do on this as the bootloader is locked.

Cheers.

Cheers. I've managed to root it using Eroot eventually anyway. Had to delete some stuff off the phone for it to do it.

Checked using terminal user and apps are getting super user so that seems to have worked.

Currently trying to use Link2Sd to move apps over but stuck at trying to partition the memory card. Downloading a program to do that for now.

Discovered a retarded design of WP8 too. Downloaded Android SDK to the phone but being a .rar file I have no way of seeing the file on the phone/computer and can't delete it! Way to go Microsoft!

Managed to free up enough so that the phone memory has 50% free.

Link2SD worked perfect after I formatted a second partition as secondary too. I linked all apps so the phone still thinks they are on the phone too.

Thanks guys

(Hope this fixes the force close problem she's been having)

It is this phone btw http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/sony-ericsson-xperia-mini-pro-1009076/review
