I purchased a Quickoffice app to install but I cannot. I tried installing other apps and I get the same problem. I get a dialogue box that tells me that my phone is out of space and that I need to free up some space. But my phone's intenal storage can still handle about 138MB. And the apps especially Quickoffice is just 5MB. I went to manage apps on my phone and cleared as much data as I could. I even cleared some RAM memory just to free up some space. But I still can't install any app I download. What do I do? Do I have to get my phone reformatted? Thanks.
P.S. My phone's upgraded to 2.2 Froyo and have allowed download/installation of apps from non-market sources. Thanks!

Also did the simple2ext(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917377)
i have clicked the following:
Application
Private apps
Application Data
Dalvik cache
(because still not enough space for just clicking Private apps..)
Setting:
Advanved mode
Mount as ext4
i can sure that i have enough free space for new apps,
but when i tried to install apps, it said there is not enough space on my phone.
What happen?
i rebooted my phone, and successfully installed one apps,
but when i tried to install another apps, it said the apps have not been installed.
and it didn't install the apps for me.
What happen??
can anyone help?
After you've rebooted, how much space is free (look at "info" in s2e)? Enough?
I've had a couple of instances where apps have downloaded but not installed. Normally changing between WiFi/mobile data and/or market/appbrain seems to fix it. Haven't really paid much attention, but I think I may have been on WiFi when it hasn't worked.
I encountered an issue, after restoring from titanium a few of my applications wouldnt update, I received a message saying update failed, insufficient storage available (I have about 20 gigs free on my SD, about 300 megs on the phones memory). One of the applications with this issue was google maps. I have no sense of direction and am HEAVILY reliant on GPS's. Anyway, i uninstalled the app, and went to re-install as someone suggested, and now im getting the same error. Im thinking the uninstall may not have worked properly and some data is still present. That It doesnt think there is space because one of the directories is being used by the old folder. I really dont know.
Help for this problem, and anyone know where ALL of the data for google maps is? Ive only tried /data/data/com.google.android.maps
edit: I've also tried downloading the apk online, same issue. The phone is rooted and running RCMiX3D
Try going into settings, applications,manage apps, and select running. Click menu and show cached processes and stop the maps process then try updating.

You can also try going into settings then applications and clearing the cache for the market

Hi
Firstly, I apologise if this is in the wrong section but if it is and it's moved then I'm sorry in advance!
I'm running a stock HTC Desire running Android 2.2.2 (2.33.161.6) and I tried installing the Netflix app from the Android Marketplace (v1.6.0 build 443 release date 15/12/2011).
The app has the permission to modify/install SD card contents and prior to installing I checked and had approximately 24mb free in main phone memory.
I installed the app and got the low space warning, cannot install and it quit.
Checking the storage available I noticed my phone memory had dropped to single figures so I guess something was taking up phone memory, but the app wasn't installed and there was nothing in the Market cache file.
A few reboots later I managed to get it to the point where I could actually install the app, and when I checked the app information had the "move to phone" button available so it looked like it had installed it to the SD card but the phone main memory was again down to single figures so I uninstalled it and the phone memory was back to 22+ MB free.
I've tried this twice now and am reluctant to start uninstalling other apps just to free up space to run this.
Has anybody else had problems with this application?
Thanks and regards
Sonny
Realistically apps like netflix run better on phone memory.

Couple days ago i have bought LG L90, its a great phone, but i encountered storage issue.
Ive cleaned cache, deleted unused apps. At least warning is gone, but i still cannot install apps over 20 mb because i get that message.
The worst is, there is free space, 400MB, why i cannot use it? Could anyone explain this to me ?
Previously i had Huawei y300 and same message was appearing when i was getting ~100mb space left.
Is there any way/solution to get remaining space working without having to root the phone?

400MB free space doesn't necessarily mean that 400MB are free in the partition allocated to applications.
Your L90 should be running KitKat, so moving apps to SD won't be like it could have been with a JB version. But some apps might still be able to be moved to SD. Go through your apps (via Application Manager) and see what you can move to SD.

thanks, did that already, not much of a change...
What do you mean that moving apps to SD isnt on Kitkat like it was on JB?
Apparently there are a lot of people who have looked for help on this issue in various forms, so googling all day and looking around has not helped.
I have Android 4.0.4 and a Pantech Burst that has been rooted. I downloaded Titanium Backup and removed some programs that were perma installed by the manufacturer. I backed them up before I did this. Now the system drive shows I have a bunch of space free, 326MB out of 1GB. Using other apps I am not sure. "Drives" shows two internal storages "Data" which has 681MB used and 326MB free and "System" which has 464MB used and 77MB free. I assume these are both the internal partition.
Trying to install anything from the Play Store results in a 'insufficient space' except for some really small apps. Since I don't know exactly how much space I have to work with, I can only guess. Uninstalling some apps normally doesn't allow me to install new ones either. Sometimes the phone will just eat the space.
I tried restoring a app with Titanium Backup and it seems to have worked, however the app is no longer in my normal system 'apps' utility. So I can't modify it or uninstall it anymore.
The apps aren't backed up to the system storage, they're on external storage.
I tried clearing the dalvik cache and system cache, this didn't help or do anything.
Any sort of help would be great.

Bro.. Use link2sd app to move apps to system.
Or uninstall bloatware from system.

That's not really what's wrong. I'm not too familiar with android, but I'm pretty sure my volumes aren't reporting deleted space that is actually free. I tried a program like CleanMaster to try and fix it as well as App Cache Cleaner, but they haven't seemed to help even though they reported that they fixed quite a few things initially.
It seems like whenever I uninstall something if I go through the system and look at apps, it shows more free space available. However when I try to install something new, it still says 'insufficient space'. Somehow the free space is not being freed up or marked as free for the system.
I almost want to say Titanium Backup is not giving the freespace back to the system and is instead just marking it as free, but not for the system. If that makes sense. So the system can't use it.
I can use Titanium Backup to restore apps even though the system says I have insufficient storage when I try to reinstall them. I shouldn't be able to do this without free space available. However when I do this I can't see it in the market or in the normal settings > apps on the system and in order to reintegrate it I need the pro version of Titanium Backup. I think TB isn't playing nice with the rest of the system in order to get you to buy a pro version of it.
