Android(?) May Have Hurt My Phone

[petecal]

I woke up this AM to find the attached screen.
I don't think I did anything to cause this.
However, yesterday I got some message about new Android features.
I looked at the message and it was about some AI stuff. Four items in all.
I have no interest in any of them.

Is that what caused this problem?
If so, how do I remove them.
I have my phone (Sony Xperia C....2018 model) set to not automatically update.

"Storage space running out" seems quite self explanatory. Basically you need to delete things, I think.

You got a Sony Xperia C there? Sony Xperia C - Wikipedia
Apparently that's a phone from 2013, with only 4GB of internal storage. Which wasn't much for an Android phone 11 years ago.

2013 called, they want your phone back.

I'm amazed when people come on here and still have phones that are 5 plus years old and still actually work. Seems like 3 years is the max these days before the phone is slow as molasses or the battery is trash.

Talking of ancient Sonys, my father still uses a Sony Xperia something-or-other he's had for at least 10 years, that's falling apart and is been held together by the protective case.. He only uses it for phone calls and WhatsApp, but I've been telling him to treat himself and replace it. He may get an early Xmas present.

I still use a Huawei Mate 10 I've had for six years, and it's still running great, battery life is still good, although it is my secondary phone now.

Well, this phone was perfect for me until "android" did something to it the night before last.
Why do I have to make changes, uninstall stuff I use because some software "weinnee" though I should try their useless crap.
Maybe you can tell I am pi$$ed over this intrusion on my life!

this is how technology works. every year android gets bigger, faster, and more secure with updates. software improves at such a rate that hardware can't keep up. it is what it is. i usually upgrade every other year or so. it never keep a phone past 3 years.

unfortunately for you, there is not much you can do. you might look into rooting the phone and try some custom roms that might help in making your phone run better......provided the developers are still making their roms available.
