Over the past few days, I've been unable to install new apps or update existing ones from the Android Market or the Amazon App Store on my Samsung Infuse with a 32 GB MicroSD Card.
In the Android Market, it will usually say there is insufficient space to install or it will perpetually sit at "downloading" In the Amazon App Store, it will download the app but it will perpetually sit on INSTALLING and never complete.
I've done several reboots, sever cache clears, battery pulls, unmounting of the SD card and even booted without SD card and then back again. I've seen other fixes like moving apps off the SD card and back on and that is too troublesome.
Could it be the recent updates to the Android Market? If so, why would it affect the Amazon Appstore?
I removed the updates from the Market...same problem with both markets...so I tried a regular APK file..gets stuck with INSTALLING.
More than frustrating now...
What rom are you guys running?

Clear Data on both apps
I've done that...I am starting to wonder if the data on the external SD is getting corrupt.
I just yanked my 32 GB card and tried a few installs on internal card and it works like a charm. Any suggestions on how to prevent memory card corruption? I didn't seem to have this problem on my Captivate with a 16GB microSD.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions...I believe it may be the 32GB MicroSD card as this is the third time this occurred and my wife's phone with a 16 doesn't seem to have this issue. I went back to a 16GB card and everything installs...for now...except for a larger program which says I have insufficient space to install.

Hello fellow DC owners. I have a question. When I reboot my phone, more often than not, the SD card is not read and thus all of the apps on the SD card are shown as not being installed. When this happens they are also missing from my market (except if they were purchased then it shows just that). The only fix for this that I've found is to remove the SD card reboot without it then reinstall it and reboot again. The unmount SD card option in the settings doesn't work at all. It hangs up. I have tried all of the repitable SD mounting Widgets I can find to no avail. For my launcher I am using GO Launcher and I love it.
If there is any help you can give I'd appreciate it.
I am unrooted and using the GO Launcher.

never heard of this happening before... you may need to make copies of everything you have on there and format it then it should read it correctly, also does it read fine in your pc or another phone?
yes the SD card is good had it on motodroid before this checked it on pc also. This happened after EE4 build. Even tried reformat and factory reset to no avail. For several months I just moved all apparently to phone and used SD for photos and downloads. Bit ran low on memory which caused more problems.

That file will prolly fix it. Unfortunately you have to be rooted to flash it in cwm recovery. So short of trying another SD card temporarily, that's all i know to do
You should hit the thanks button for mefloump for finding and posting that file for you. Just a tip

Do NOT use kejar's SDCard Root Fix on Gingerbread, it will break USB Mass Storage Mode.
I have made backups fine in the past, but I just tried again 2 times, and it gets to /data and starts going, then stops, and says there was a error backing up /data
What might cause this?
I have 8G free on the SD card

Would the battery being low cause this? I mean mine was at 65%
No this is usually caused by space issues in your sd card. Backup ur sd card to pc and reformat? Maybe that might help.

He says that he has 8gb free, reformat might do it though... other then that I have no clue. Battery would have nothing to do with this issue.

Well that didn't work either, I tried a different SD card, and getting the same thing......it gets about 3/4 of the way through /DATA and then give that error

If your trying to do a backup from the app as oppose to booting into cwm recovery you may have freezes.

This worked one time for me. Try unmounting and mounting system, data etc.

Well, I went ahead and installed the new ROM anyway, and restored my apps using titanium and then I went into CWM and mounted everything, and it let me make a backup of the new ROM so, I dunno...........
I have a heard of a rom not allowing people to back up for some reason before. Maybe a google search will help you for a reason? mind sharing what rom you were on?

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
Could this be your problem:

Not so many. I have lots of space on both the internal sd card and the external card.
I'm getting frustrated with this, considering wiping phone and starting from scratch, but no point unless I understand what's wrong.
Did you use lucky patcher on this app?

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.

I don't think this is a space issue, more like memory issue. Try reboot and then re install see what's happens.
FYI: Currently there is NO app to move to SD card for tf700.

Your data partition ia full you can use that kernel for stock cromi based device. I have same problem but can't use that kernal due to to running CM 10.1.0.
Alright, I installed Paranoid Android, flashed GAPPS.
And somehow, my SD card is never detected.
Its a Samsung 4gb SD card given to me when I bought the device.
I tried fixing permissions, reinserting, formatting, etc.
It is FAT32 and worked when I was on Gingerbread.
Also tried another SD card, was from Toshiba, no luck
Any ideas guys?
EDIT:Reflashed to stock, SD card works.
But I freaking hate Gingerbread...
