Check and tell us memory available in

- Phone memory

- Internal storage

- SD card (if inserted)

Try to use phone without SD card

sorry I cannot follow your meaning, can you please clarify?

do you have 13 MB free or 13 MB occupied?

If you have 13 MB occupied the message error is strange and you need to try to repair your firmware

You can use the following guide. Remember that you will loose all your datas. Remove also SD card before start

If you have ony 13 MB free the message error is normal

You have done a factory reset and now without installing any third party apps you have only 13 MB free??

Try to:

- Boot your xperia in safe mode (it will load only stock apps and processes) and check if issue is the same

Turn off the device.
Press and hold down the power key until the phone vibrates.
Wait until the Xperia™ logotype disappears.
Press and hold the volume down key. The device then restarts in safe mode.
To exit safe mode, restart the device.
- Plug your xperia to a PC/Laptop: check if the free memory is the same and verify if there are strange files

I'm also facing the same problem like yours, and it really pisses me off.. I can't download any apps but instead I've been deleting apps to eliminate 'Storage space running out' I also use cleaning apps but its really not working. Even if I moved my apps to Internal memory its nothing and its really frustrating!
