2 - Is it possible that something is corrupted on the phone and it's
not actually that it's really out of memory?

It's a long story, but the memory readout on the various Android
versions is well known to be faulty.

Still, the baseline information is accurate:
a) The phone starts with 4GB of internal memory.
b) The phone can hold a 32GB sdcard.
c) However, Google disallows moving the apps to the sdcard.
d) And the carrier disallows deleting the pre-installed apps.
e) Therefore, the phone is really a 600MB phone for apps!

I fully realize T-Mobile would never be able to sell a single
one of these phones if they told the truth, that it is a 600MB
phone.

In fact, I bought it, believing (erroneously) the advertising,
which intimates it's a 4GB phone that can be augmented with a
32GB sdcard.

Turns out it's a 600MB phone which can't be augmented, period.

All I'm asking is for T-Mobile to tell the truth in its
advertising.

If they told the truth, they'd never sell the phone, but,
they should still tell the truth. Every time I call them,
they tell me it's a 4GB phone that can be added to with a
32GB sdcard (which is a bold-faced lie for apps).
