Disable "Transfer data to SD card" message

This message is useful once, and then becomes pointless and annoying. I'm not going to install an SD card, and I'm not going to delete data when I still have multiple GB free. Please allow us to disable this silly message in a future update.

I don't appreciate you doing that. Obviously, I was aware of the original post. My intention was to post this issue in the Z3 compact forum, because that's the phone that I own. Please move the post back.

Hi guiaka

Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

This message will keep re-appearing until you have freed up some space on the device. I advise deleting any apps you don't use or need any longer and deleting any music, photos, videos you don't want or transferring them to an SD card or your computer to free up space as well.

That ungodly low memory notification is ruining my user experience with the phone.

I'm talking about that memory notification that tells me that I have less than 75% free memory, which pops up an average of 20 times a day. 25% free is more than enough for complete phone functionality, and I see no reason to be reminded about it 20 times a day. I installed a third party "blocker" but it actually doesn't block anything, it just swipes it out automatically when it appears, so I still get the notification for a second or two before the app cleans it. Is there an efficient way to stop if from appearing completely without having to root? If not, it would be appreciated if you could forward this complaint to the dev team so they make the notification possible to disable like in Kitkat (there was a switch in the "memory" app setting that you could turn off like in normal apps, but it's grayed out in Lollipop). Seriously I can't stand it anymore. On top of that, I still have like 3Gb free, that's a ton of space, if I have to be driven insane every time I have less than 3Gb free, they should have advertised this phone as having 12Gb free not 16, since because of this ridiculous low memory spam I am going to be forced to waste internal memory.
