Try unmounting the SD card...don't remove the card, just unmount it. Then find the app in the store and install it.
i am able to download from the market just fine, the problem is when i install an .apk that's on my sd card. i'm wondering if chainfire 3d did something? in a bit i'm going to try the unmounting and also fix the market links. anymore ideas well be appreciated.
Do you have Froyos "Move to sd by default" enabled?
Yeah I'm getting the same thing. First it was just the wireless tethering app, then it was Angry Birds and some other apps. It says it was unable to install, and then that there was "insufficient storage space" which is BS b/c I have 210MB internal mem free and over 9GB free on my SD card :/

you just make me laugh
phone internal memory is probably full. just move some of your installed programs to sd- card -for example games
i had plenty of spaces and no notifications. all the info that this problem gave me was "Application not Installed" i solved the problem by flashing a Rom. thx for the help guys.
I had the same issue when I tried to manually change the icon of an apk using winrar. I think it happens with unsigned apk's, or if they were modified in some way from the original.
The app may not be signed properly or you may be having trouble with apps moved to SD not being read correctly. You could try moving the app from your SD back to your phone or even copying everything from your SD card to your computer, formatting the card, and then transferring everything back to the card as a last resort. I've had to do that before and it solved the problem but it was a pain.

Here's one solution that worked for me:
I installed Android Market 3.0.27 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166152
I cleared the market cash and Google services framework data as per the steps described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893538
Then the trick that did it was to disable app2SD under settings/applications.
I still am missing some apps in the market (Skype, Facebook, Google Maps, etc.) but at least I can install them from apk files now.
I hope this helps.
Cheers

I am looking for an app or way to clean up the SD card. When I try to install any new apps I get Installation Error - Insufficient Storage Available. I looked at the storage and it says I have the following
System: ROM 325mb (84mb free)
Internal: 1.59gb (1.22gb free)
DB Data: 109mb (75.2mb free)
SD card: 15.8 gb (7.50gb free)
It doesn't seem to me as if there is any storage capacity issues, what am I missing. Any ideas.
I use the paid version of SD maid. I don't know if that will fix your issue but it is a good app to clean up the internal as well as external SD card,.
I will try that.

I get the same error when trying to download any apps. I lost several like google earth, adobe reader ect and tried to reinstall them and get the error. I tried to download the suggested app and same error....any thoughts?
you may have a issue with the SD card. It possible reformating the sd card may help. Could back up your SD card on your PC format it and then try installing a app. If that fixes it, then you could just copy your files back to the SD. Just an idea
I formatted the SD card, then used Ti backup to move all apps to the SD card. Tried to install an app and got the same failed error. Any thoughts?
When you install a app does it install first to the phone then you move to sd or just install straight to sd? And if installing to phone first does error occur during install or during the move from phone to sd?
Tap-a-Talked
It seems to be installing apps to the phone, then I move to the SD card. Not all apps move though. I installed a couple smaller apps today and it worked fine but when attempting to install Google Earth I get the error again.
K. Let me see what it does on my phone with google earth.
K so it move fine for me. Do you have a spare sd card you could try and see what it does. That's the only thing I could see doing that. I guess its possible the phone may not be reading it right but it seems more of a sd issue.
Tap-a-Talked
No, I will have to pick one up. I tried ebay app and it gave me the same error, I don't know what's going on.
Honestly me either. It seems as if it truley was a sd issue it would do it no matter what app it was or how big it is. Since its being picky about which ones gives you errors it is 50/50 shot its a sd issue. Only thing I can say is try a different sd and if it still does it then it is something in the phone. I would just get a cheap one and see what it does.
Tap-a-Talked
Go to settings and manage applications. See if some of your missing applications or apps that will not load are listed but have a generic android icon and are named strange. I had about 15 apps that would not restore from Titanium Backup correctly. I finally found the issue under manage apps, deleted the affected apps, and restored them. This may not help you but its worth checking.

I get this message with quite a few apps as well. The one that is really ticking me off is that I can't install Lookout. I have moved most apps to the SD card and there is plenty of room on both the SD card and the internal memory. I am running Heinz 57 ROM EE19.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
I still don't have a clue as to what caused it but after switching to EE19 and Heinz 57 my issues went away. Not a solution just worked for me.

And that seems to be what started it for me. I guess I will flash back to stock EE19 and start over.
I wiped data/factory reset. After that I flashed the stock EE19, CwM 3, Heinz 57 6/6 and rubbed one out. That order seemed to work for me, but now I feel kind of sleepy. The storage problem is fixed.
I just got my wife a new Samsung Infuse. Successfully rooted with the SuperOneClickv1.9.1. I was then able to restore some of her old apps with Titanium Backup.
My problem now is that when she goes to install a few additional apps she gets the following error:
Installation Error - Insufficient Storage Available
However the SD Card and Phone Storage pages show plenty of space!!
Available Phone Storage = 1.46GB
I realized the problem after she had installed some simple stuff like Handcent and MyFitnessPal and they just disappeared. So I went to install ES File Explorer and RomManager to do some troubleshooting and that installed successfully. But another weird thing was that those two didn't show up in the app draw. So I went back to the Market thinking I would try and install again and the market showed it was already installed. So I was able to open the ES File explorer and rommanager programs from the market with the "open" button.
does anyone recognize something like this? I can't explain it?! I'm using the stock rom.
i read something about installing more than 50 apps?
i read that i should try to wipe the dalvik cache? but i can't figure out how to get into cwm recovery to do that?!

This phone auto-copies your apps to your microSD card (external_sd). Try going to Settings -> Applications ->Manage Applications -> On SD Card -> Click an application -> Move to Phone.
Rinse, Lather, Repeat for each application.
Thats not happening with mine. All my apps are installing to the internal sd card. Nothing seems to want to go to my 32gb external sd card except pics and videos. Game data, navionics maps and all that load onto the internal sd
I am still getting this...sometimes I get it sometimes I don't...but there are a few apps that never install because of this...any ideas?

Try this if you have the new market with the book and movie categories. Uninstall the market update and you'll be able to download your apps using the older market. There is a bug with the new market.
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Downloaded>Market>Uninstall Updates
I had this problem a while back. After hours (i mean hours) of googling, I found that the Market saves the app into the /cache partition. Samsung unfortunately made this partition only 30MB in size. Now, if you rooted and installed a custom rom that has the voodoo lagfix (ext4 partitions), 5 MB will be used as a journal for the filesystem. This means that if you try to download an app thats greater than 25 MB, the market will say that you have no space available! (cue expletives!)
The easiest way to fix this is to temporarily bind the cache partition to a location on your sdcard. For example, lets say you have a folder on your sdcard called syscache.
you would bind /cache to this directory with (run this in terminal or adb. run su first)
Code:
#umount /cache
#mount -o bind /sdcard/syscache /cache
Unfortunately i can't seem to find out how to unbind the directory after i am done. Found this solution on the internet. Use at your own risk :]
Hello,

IDK why you are getting this because even if you installed a "few" apps you whould not be able to fill the 1+ gig for app storage
I'm running the stock 2.3.3 ROM, but I have seen that message one time, even though there was over 500MB free on the internal storage. Going into Manage applications showed lots of space.
A reboot solved it.. haven't seen it again.

or this should work
Okay, unfortunately a reboot hasn't solved this problem :-(
This is what I figured out until now:
1) Under "Applications/Manage applications" I can see that there is 805MB of storage available, while 368MB is used
2) Under "SD & phone storage" I also see 805MB "Available space" - but I'm not able to choose "Make more space"! I get an error saying "Unable to find an activity to handle this action"
3) When trying to install ANY app from the market I get the error "Error downloading (app-name). There is insufficent space on the device."
Any other tips?
:-(
Full wipe (/data /system) and reflash with the newest version of Mike's (3.0). Should fix the issue and be a bit more smooth.
ok people,
I use a samsung galaxy mini with stock gingerbread 2.3.4 rom. I have link2sd installed on my phone and device is rooted. Recently i've been getting, "error while downloading because there is insufficient space" .. I have well above 120 mb in internal memory and the whole 4 gig memory card is free. I am not able to tick auto-link to sd on link2sd , because that option is unavailable. Also i tried to partition my sd card using minitool but i think im getting it wrong.
please help me.
1. Open "Root Explorer"
2. Mount as r/w
3. Go to cache/download/ and delete everything in that folder.
This should fix your problem.
Ok i mounted as r/w and in cache folder i only found two folders lost+found and some recovery related file and there was nothing related to download.

This looks like a bug with the new android market. The new market is so silly and idiotic. First of all there are always connectivity issues in it besides insufficient memory issue now. I downgraded my market and it work flawlessly. But sadly this is short lived as it updates itself.

Normally you can clear caches and it will work otherwise uninstall the app and reinstall. If you have to uninstall make a data backup first. What it equates to is the app dev didnt put a call in to remove the app prior to installing the new version. Ive run into this with Plague Inc. and Ive sent a bug report to the app dev. I suggest the same for whatever app you are having issues with.
I've tried the whole "clear your caches and fix your permissions" thing, and, at least from what I can tell, you can't install anything through Play/Market unless you have at least ~55 MB of space available (even if you are installing to microSD or replacing a currently installed app). I'm not sure quite where the threshold is, but it is somewhere around there.
I can't answer "Why?" as it is in Google proprietary code and I don't have the source available.
I have tried clearing caches and dalvic.. also reinstalled gapps.. can't get it to work..

Have you cleared data from Google Services Frameworks? That has fixed every market issue I've ever run into. If jeff is saying it's coded to not let you install with under 55mb of space left I believe him though.
I can't be sure it's "coded that way," but I haven't found a way to get Play/Market to install when I get down somewhere below 60 MB free space, including flashing a new ROM, clearing cache, fixing permissions, reinstalling gapps, and probably a few other things I've tried. There are definitely days when I wish someone would prove my theory wrong!
I believe Jeff no doubt but I have 66.1mb available..

i have this problem when there's an update for the "Dark Jelly" theme i have. i found the only way to get it to update really is to uninstall it and then re-install. i know its a pain in the arse, but its the only way i found to update it.

My Apps2sd (in ROM toolbox) was set to install to SD card automatically and as soon as I changed it AUTO (location) problem was fixed.

My husband's Galaxy S 4G is having the same problem with erroneous memory capacity error message.It seems happen after he adds an app. And we are not sure why the error message goes away WHEN it does go away. Can you clear the Google Services Frameworks without removing important info he has put in the apps, or will it delete any apps?. Sorry for my ignorance of the Android system.

If you're husband's phone is rooted then you can always back up his apps and app data with titanium backup or you can make a nandroid backup through cwm that way in case anything goes wrong you have a backup to fall back to

I was having trouble installing UberSocial. I could download and install every other app (smaller and bigger in file size) except for UberSocial.
Tried the Lucky Patcher method and worked like a charm.
BTW, I should mention I have a rooted S3 but found this thread via Google .
The Jelly bean rom takes up a lot internal memory, plus it installs most of the apps from the market to the internal memory instead of SD card. I don't why, maybe the devs can answer this. I had to remove the xbmc app (97mb) in order to install anything else.
Hit the thanks button if it helps. It's my motivator to be more helpful.
I use Titanium to move all data apps to SD, I also use History Eraser before updating apps so that at all times I have over 110MB free on internal mem.
