I downloaded a game from the market but my phone crashed just before it finished installing.
When my phone rebooted I had lost about 20 mb of internal memory but the app was nowhere to be seen.
I tried cleaning the cache/data and installing market updates. I also tried clearing the browser cache, downloading other apps and deleting that annoying smdl2tmp1.asec file. But still the memory was missing.
In the end I was forced to do a factory reset. It gave back my missing memory of course but after re-installing all my apps I seemed to have much more memory than I did previously...
This is making me think that there have been other times when downloadsed apps have got stuck in the phone somewhere.
Where does the marketplace store its downloads and can I delete them without a rooted phone?

I am in the UK, and received my OTA at 5:30am this morning and i was on ERE27 before. I started the update but it got stucked, i left it for like 30-40mins before removing the battery. I waited and fortunately google sent another OTA at 7:30am and i then updated successfully.
Now i am on FRF91, but i realised i am still having the memory problem, and from settings i'm still seeing 25MB (of 196MB)-like on Eclaire. But Estrong is showing 171MB and running services from settings i have available memory close to 200MB.
The phone warned i am out memory when i tried installing an app. OUCHHHHH.
what am i missing?
Any help please!!!
Have you tried anything like a reboot? It usually clears all the cache gathered durign the update.

I rebooted several times, but still the memory problem hold.
Please will resetting the phone to factory setting solve the problem? (as my last option)
I have searched and searched this forum as well as others and google the last 24 hours with no resolution.
As the title states, I am unable to download or update apps from Market. Every time it just pauses. I have tried clearing cache, uninstalling Market update, unmount/remount sd card, reboot after reboot, sign in to Google Talk, back up sd card, wipe card, then restore card, delete Android Secure folder during the previous process, clear google service framework cache, etc, etc, all to no avail
Any other suggestions please, I am at wits end with my one week old phone
HTC Ispire (Completely stock other than apps that have been downloaded)
Thanks in advance.
Gave up and did a factory reset. Problem now gone. Would be nice to know what causes this issue since so many seem to experience it. Google's relative silence is rather infuriated.

It could be because your phone is set to only make downloads when connected to WiFi. Check that.
I have a friend whose phone had exactly this symptom and this was the cause. Once he disabled that option in the phone settings, it worked.
I think he had a Motorola Defy.
Solution for "Stuck download" !
Previously i tried all basic steps and followed all forums,it seems to be worthless !
Lastly after resetting the device to factory setting,download get start.
Try this one but after following all basic steps.
:victory:
Well this started happening last night, but whenever I try to install anything, I get the insufficient storage warning. I've rebooted many times lol. 20gb free on phone. 28 free on sd card
Try running Smartclean
Nope. Also tried clean master. I have so much free space it's insane. I've used 8gb of 54 available. I've uninstalled all apps but ones I absolutely need. Guess my next step is to uproot and go back to factory stock?
When I switched sd cards, Google music gave me a warning it couldn't download music. I was stumped. Went into settings and noticed my old sd card was checked, I had changed it out and selected the new one. Did you swap sd cards?

I have been getting this error today and I have tried clearing app caches and data of Play Store & Services but it didn't work. There is tons (23GB) of free space in the data folder and I have used autostarts to enable every app in every event as I had been messing around with this today (since I got the same error on my SGS once and some totally random unconnected app that I had disabled an event for that caused this) all to no avail.
I am going to just do a wipe and start again as I have tried everything I can think of..
You have to download sdcard fix for kit Kat from the play store and run it. You have to use that app if you have done a factory reset, flashed a rom, switched sdcards, etc. This will fix the problem.
Anyone have a Confirmed fix?

This is incorrect. I had SDFix already installed and set and the message came up. Actually, I reset my phone today for no reason as now on 2 apps it says have updates it is coming with the same message again! Though last time there were more apps needing updates so I am a little further along lol

It worked for me on my Note 3 after I had done a factory reset. It's not the same phone but I figured it would fix the problem.
Ah then u were lucky.
As you can see there is not really a lack of storage in the places where there usually would indicate a problem, usually the data or datadata folders depending on ROM used.

I have tried:
Clearing app caches
LG Smartclean
Lucky Patcher - removing ODEX files
For updating Apps: removing the App's folder in data/app-lib
Clearing Play Store/Google Play Services cache/data then uninstalling all updates
This to delete any bad packages
Moving most apps to the SD card
With no success. It's not just the updates that won't install but new apps too.
*Apparently on Samsung phones you can try *#9900# then 'Delete Dumpstate/logcat'

Sorry my idea didn't work, just trying to throw that idea out there since I had had that issue before. Hope you find a fix because I know that issue is annoying.

No worries. It was expected on my lowly I9000 with only about 300MB for apps in the datadata folder but I just got my super modern G3 with 32GB storage/3GB RAM about a few weeks ago so I expected it would deal with anything thrown at it and I never expected it to have this same problem especially on the stock ROM! Actually I think I had more apps installed on the I9000 and it never came up with this error lol
I think after trying everything I could find online that I am going to flash the stock from from LG Flash instead of resetting as I have done and see if that fixes it..
**UPDATE: Well I thought I would deactivate all Xposed Framework modules...then I was able to install/update as normal! I re-enabled but this time I left XPackage Installer deactivated and it's all working! Perhaps if you have Xposed and Xpackage Installer activated to try this..and to think I spent the whole day resetting, reinstalling and reconfiguring....my initial suspicions were right on it just being some random thing :silly:LOL
This one worked for me
LG G3 5.0 rooted and it worked
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vinny.intsdfixer
FYI this method worked for me for everything except Google Play Services. Thanks to D0MINO I just deactivated my Xposed modules - rebooted - updated Play Services - reactivated - reboot - profit. Thanks!! (been annoying me for days)
Repost from reddit! (someone told me to post it here)
So I was browsing through RedditIsFun today when all of the sudden the app crashed. I tried opening other apps such as Whatsapp but it kept crashing too. In fact all of the apps started crashing: from the Launcher to the Settings, they all displayed the same message:
Unfortunately XXX has stopped working
Replace XXX with the name of literally every app.
So I tried to do a Wipe. No luck: my recovery died a long time ago (and the Clear emmc option doesn't work anyway).
I tried removing the SD card. At first I thought the problem had been solved, but then the apps kept crashing again. I had Facebook and Instagram installed on the SD so removing it meant that these apps were greyed out. Trying to uninstall them lead to the apps crashing immediately.
I tried using Flash Tools to install the ROM again but the 2 times I've done this the result was the same: the phone was in the same state it was as before installing the ROM.
Later I realized no matter what I did: inserting files, deleting files, installing apps, uninstalling apps - it'd all be useless, no changes were done after rebooting.
So... is my phone dead? Is there any other option I could try before throwing it to the garbage? (the screen is broken anyway).
(Phone is an Azumi A50C, by the way)
I have been using my Xiaomi Redmi 4(running on miui global 11.0.2, android 7.1.2) for almost 2 years now and never have I experienced such strange issues. Here's a list of some:
1)Play store: Cannot download any apps from play store. It says the app could not be downloaded, please troubleshoot. So I read the solutions, cleared cache and data from play store. I even uninstalled updates. When I tried to download or update any app, firstly the download did not start(it said downloading and never downloaded anything). Then I closed the app, cleared cache and data and opened it again(keep in mind this is the old version of play store as I uninstalled updates). This time the download started, but it reached around 13.60 mb/30mb and stopped. Then it said downloading again and restarted the download from 0 mb, reached 14.74 mb and stopped again. It kept looping like this 3 or 4 times and then I closed the app. I tried again, this time it download the whole 30 mb but gave me the error -506.
Chrome: I figured if I could not download apps from play store I would just download the APKs from chrome, but this didn't work either. When I clicked the download button chrome said "1 download pending" and waiting for network when I had a full strength connection. I tried again, cleared app cache and data, restarted the phone but again it showed download pending(I assure you it is not a connection problem). However browsing on the chrome app is completely fine, its just that I cannot download any files.
YouTube(app) keeps signing me out for no reason. It gives me an error and tells me to remove my account and sign in again. I go to settings and try to remove my Google account the remove account button is broken. I have tried to open the app again after rebooting, but instead of giving me the error the app crashes and it says YouTube has Stopped(and keeps stopping). I have cleared cache, cleared data and rebooted but none of that works. Whenever I clear data or reboot and try to open the app, it crashed and says the app has stopped. I have tried to update the app but I cant- both my play store and chrome are broken.
When I reboot the phone the system tells me "android.acore.process" has stopped. I looked up this error on the internet, it said to clear the contacts data and cache. Did it. But this didnt fix the first 3 problems. I have no clue what acore process does.
I tried to play the "among us" video game(i had installed it before all these bugs started coming up) but whenever I open the game it says "insufficient space to download resources". I have tons of space left and this has never happened earlier.
WiFi not working: I click the WiFi button by scrolling the menu from the top of the screen but it doesn't turn on. I go to the WiFi settings and it says "turning WiFi on" but it never turns on. I rebooted my phone and by luck, somehow, the WiFi turned on and I haven't dared to turn it off since.
7)Settings search has stopped: I've been getting this error for quite some months now, and I don't think this is what's causing all the above problems. But I could be wrong, I have no idea
Never before seen strange system issues: I had a game APK saved from before. I tried to install it, it said "problem parsing the package"(I had installed the game from this same APK earlier) . Then I cleared the cache and data of package installer and tried installing, this time it said "insufficient storage space available" when I had plenty left. Please, why is every app malfunctioning? These are my storage stats btw: oh never mind, I tried to click a screenshot, it said "could not capture screenshot". Wow. Anyway, I have 2.39 GB free out of 16gb on internal storage and 25 GB free on my SD card.
I also have McAfee Antivirus Plus(the paid version) on my phone. I scanned and found no viruses. I also scanned with the Xiaomi built in security centre and found no issues.
The only real cause I can figure is that I might have deleted some system files. A few days ago I was on the drives app to clear the "other files" which are a huge mess on Xiaomi, and I deleted a couple of them. Is it possible I might have deleted an important file?
However I saw YouTube tutorials before deleting the "other files", they said it is alright to delete the other files as long as they're not named obb or backup files. Or is this a system bug? I have been on the miui 11.0.2 for about an year and I've never seen this happen before.
I've already called up the Xiaomi Service Centre in my area but they have no clue what's going on. They told me to factory reset the phone but I don't want to lose my data. They also said that if the system has been corrupted, factory reset will do no good but they told me try it anyway.
Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on? Maybe some software developers know which file I might've deleted by mistake, or is it some other bug. Please help. My phone is a nightmare!
