Here u go !!!!
I dont think this app is avaliable in the market.
What i would advice u is to do a clean instal.
Please note that all widgets need to be stored on the phone memory only, else they will not run. Besides that, any program that stores information (eg 3rd party mail clients) should be on the phone memory.
This is the most simple and effect program i have come across
Hi folks,
Can anyone help me with this problem...
Nexus S I9020, Android 4.0.4 IMM76D
I'm getting the message "Insufficient storage available" when trying to update a couple of apps (Tapatalk, 4.26MB, and Go Launcher EX, 5.86MB) from the Play Store, yet I have over 350MB of free internal storage. All my apps are installed to internal storage.
I've cleared way more app cache from other apps (Gmail, Maps, Music) than the download sizes for these apps, yet both of these apps stubbornly refuse to update.
Rebooting hasn't worked.
Where on earth is Android running out of storage?
Using ES File Explorer, I don't seem to have a <root>/data/apps folder - <root>/data is empty.
Many thanks.

This is an individual app problem right? just this one app doesn't work, but others do? try a different kernel or a complete wipe, if still doesn't work, try a different version or different rom/ Hope this helps!
Are you using some kind of patching software to remove ads??

When I first got my android and didn't know better this would happen when I downloaded a "free" version of an app from online somewhere. When I learned more and wanted to supoort devs i removed the app and tried to get it ledgit from the market I would get that error. Not implying anything Just my experience.
Try to clear market data if that doesn't work might have to do a full wipe before getting that particular app.

Hi guys,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I'm not using any patching/ad suppression apps. No tweaks or trick configurations or rooting going on here - stock 4.0.4 and nothing else.
This is something both my wife (she has a NS too but with over 600MB of free internal storage) and I come across regularly when updating apps which I normally work around by clearing the app cache of the three apps I mentioned but this time it was particularly stubborn.
However I set about clearing the cache of all apps that wouldn't need a whole load of configuration afterwards and this then allowed the apps to update, so it does seem to be an storage space issue. But where could the phone possibly be running out of space when, as I say, I have over 350MB of free internal storage?
And... why would Chrome browser create an app cache of over 90MB!
Thanks again.

Solved your problem yet? I was also experienced this and found from another thread in this forum that wiping cache from Recovery Mode solves the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562962&page=2
No solution. I just go through the hoops every update of clearing the app data of Gmail, Maps, Music and Chrome Beta.
Recovery mode doesn't work for me as I'm running stock Android 4.0.4 with stock recovery and no root. I just get the red triangle when I go into recovery.

I've done a search on how to do this but everyone who succeeds is on a custom ROM/bootloader. How do I do this on a stock ROM and stock bootloader?

The only way to wipe dalvik cache without root would be to factory reset your phone as cache and dalvik get cleared during this process.

I had the same problem; just found this free app that does the app cache wipe on the Play Store:

I have found that Google play reports insufficient storage even when other errors occur: logcat gives more precise answers.
In any case I found that it was related to lucky patched, that I decided not to use anymore...

Hi,
I installed the route 66 stock rom on my Verizon Galaxy S3, and now am getting the "insufficient Storage" error on Google Play when I try to install apps. I have lots of room on the internal and the external SD cards. I've tried clearing the data on Google play, but still won't work. Any ideas on how to fix it?
If you Google search insufficient storage space Google play there is some good info

You have to deo-odex the app first, then install normally.
Fixed it
After trying a lot of things, I gave up, backed up everything with Titanium Backup, wiped my phone in recovery, and install the new Synergy Rom. Now works fine, and I can install apps fine. Don't know what was wrong, but just in case I installed Cache Fixer for future issues.

Hello!
I have a memory problem with my Android device:
- Samsung Galaxy Tab, GT-P1000 (Europe)
- Firmware 2.2
- Kernel 2.6.32.9
- Build: Froyo
- Not rooted, no custom ROM
The device worked fine for a very long time. However, recently I got a warning that my internal device memory is low. Even though I did not install any new apps and the setup worked fine before.
I checked Android's storage menu and it stated:
- External SD card: 15/15 GB free
- Internal memory: 9/13 GB free
- Internal device memory: 0,00 B available
Afterwards, I uninstalled a couple of apps to free up the internal device memory. Now I have about 130 MB of free space, but the warning message is still shown. Even after reboot, it is still there. I cannot download new apps from the market nor reinstall old ones. Android always tells me that I'm out of storage.
So to me it seems like something is blocking my device. There is enough free space, but the system does not notice. I tried to clear the cache, but it did not help. Is there any way to fix that problem WITHOUT doing a factory reset?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Froyo supports App to SD. Try going to the application manager and moving some apps to external memory. Most things without a widget will work OK. That will free up some more space.

I have tried that already. The built-in App2SD feature always tells me that the app cannot be moved (even though the button is not grayed-out).
I consider this to be a bug in Android's memory management somewhere. None of the "normal features" to free up space could solve the problem so far. But I'm pretty sure, that some of the tech experts here know a solution. :good:
Come on, no one else got this problem before?
I can provide further information, if that helps.
But I don't want to factory reset (if that helps at all....).
Please help!
Normally cleaning out your SMS inbox and all is the simple fix to this issue. SMS and cache do take up a good amount of space on your internal memory.
i've also experience this problem on my phone (LG C660)
what i did was to root my phone and uninstalled some bloatware applications that i think i might not needed them. then install Link2SD and move other application to the SD Card.
Try clearing the cache of all your apps. I done that earlier, even though I didn't really need to, and xda app alone had 634mb.

try apps which let you explore the root folders(root explorer and the likes) and just go on a deleting spree with apps you dont need in the sytem folder.
hope this helps

I don't want to root my SGT yet. And I cannot install any new apps, so all app-based rooting techniques will not work anyway. But I'll put rooting + Link2SD on my todo list and try that when my tablet is up running again.

What "root folders" are you talking about? I have AndroZip installed, but it seems like most folders on system level are empty. And unfortunately, I cannot install any other apps to explore the file system. Android market won't let me install anything right now (as I said above).

Does not work either, I always get a warning that the app could not be moved (for whatever reason...).
As I said before: It seems like something is blocked internally. I have 136 MB of internal device memory free, so this should be enough to work with. But Android does not agree. And everything worked fine before, when I had less free memory. So what's wrong with my device!? I read about a loopback lagfix, but I'm not sure what it is. Has somebody heard about that?
Have you tried a factory restore
and jus download your apps agen
But rooting the device is better and you get more control over it
but up to you

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.

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 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.
