Device says error while downloading because there is insufficient space...

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.

I am, on my Archos 101IT Gen8...
It's killing me! Market v 3.0.26 (or 3.0.16, can't remember)... Almost all my apps need to be updated, and when I do this BLAM! 'Unable to install on SD or external storage'!
But I tried Jelly defense off Thepiratebay.org and it's the same problem... I install it, the bar moves a little and then '!Didn't install' WHY is that happening?
Even with PES 2012, but why?

The Infuse's internal is partitioned in 2. The first half is seen as full on internal, the second half is considered to be an sd card, an internal sd card. And no, there is no way to format it.

what do you mean format? i mean you can format it by factory resettign the phone through settings but that formats the data partition as well and loses all your data. you may be able to format it in windows but none of this will change the size of anything. you cant change the partition tables, well technically you can but don't you will brick your phone! and sinse 2gb is on a different device all together you cant change that at all either.
you seem a bit confused on how this all works. the 1.77 or 2 gb is phone storage, it is used for apps, contacts, message storage, phone related stuff. the 13.1 or 14 is sd storage built into the phone, the aditional 2 is external sd storage (it's under the sim card, remove the battery to get to it. you can expand it up to 32 +the 14 built into the phone). the numbers below advertiesed are just different ways of measuring gigabytes. the definition of giga is 1billion but in conputing they use powers of 2 tradidionally so killo isn't 1000 it's 1024 mega isn't 1million its 1,048,576. mega and kilo pretty much aloways are interperated that way in computing. giga/tera however sometimes use there literal meanings 1billion/1trillion and sometimes mean 1000/1,000,000 megabytes and might also mean 1024/1,048,576 megabytes which would be 1,073,741,824-bytes for gigabytes, if you look at packaging of new hard drives there is often a disclaimer on the method they are using to advertise the capacity. i dont remember which way windows reads gbs but this is one reason hard drives never report the same space as advertised and why you see 13.1 instead of 14 and part of why you see 1.77 (some of it is used for the /system and other partitions) instead of 2.

And that's why you are one of the best there is DANi...I learn from listening to your thorough answers and explanations...very nice..

hi
hi guys thanks, i just moved from an iPhone so i didn't know that works like that, i got a message saying that i didn't have any room in my phone that's why i was lil confused when i thought the phone had 14 GB int storage. Is there a way to download app's from the market to the sd card ? i mean i know i could move them one by one. but is there a way to download them directly to the sd card ?
Sorry just new to all of this

that's weird. did you install a whole bunch of app? or things like ringtones ect?
1.77gb is alot for a phone and i never filled up the storage. unless it is the market bug where apps above a certain size never download. if that's the case you need to downgrade the market. if the phone did not come with the new market you can go into settings>applications>all and find the market/vending.apk then you can uninstall updates. if you would like to install a custom rom then gtg465x had a fix for this in a custom market .apk with his roms, and entropy and linux bozo have a kernel fix in their gingerbread kernels so the new market will download apps of any size.
if you infact filled the storage then you can move apps to the sd card in settings>applications>downloaded but keep aftermarket launchers and applications with widgets on the phone storage. the reasaon is that the sd card doesnt mount till after the ui starts and apps on the sd card will disapear from the home screen, if the launcher is on the sd card it will default to the touchwiz launcher. you can also do this in bulk with titanium backup.

Hi
hi yeah it tells me i have 1.7 gb free and i get a message from the mark. i try to download i all the angry birds games at the same time and the first one was able to install fine and then i get that message from the market . i had to move that game to the sd before installing the rest i just installed this ROM MIUI - and when i had the stock ROM i never had this problem - i really like this ROM ... i only have like 5 apps installed and i have moved most of them to the SD - Facebook wont move and A.I Type wont move to the SD the rest are on the Sd -
i read some where on the web where i could go in terminal type a code and have all the apps that i download go there directly to the in.. sd card - im not sure if this is possible that's why im asking @

That no space warning is a bug in Market, go to settings>market and uninstall updates.
Things should download then, search Market fix.

Or just reboot...it will fix it also...done it many times

the newwest miui "should" have a kernel end fix. i mean the aosp kernel was developed by linux bozo and he put out a market fix on the hellraiser kernel but i dont keep up with the aosp roms.
if the kernel isn't part of the latest miui you may want to try the cm7 kernel, it is possible that because jordan elliot is having family things going on that are more important that he hasnt updated the kernel since the fix was released.
anyway it doesnt matter where you put the apps the low space message is an error. it has little to do with the space available.
when you have questions like this it helps on occasion to provide the carrier the phone is for(rogers/att), the rom or kernel you may have installed and if it is stock provide the baseband and maybe even what network you are on if it is not the one that the phone was released for. there may be known issues or differences that affect the answer and it is more productive if you can avoid having questions answered with questions or really broad answers.

Hi thanks for your help man like I said im new to this .. i was getting a msg from the market saying that because I think the market has a 30 mb download limited ... everything is working from know.. next time ill try to read more before I post lol ..

ACER E210

I have an Acer E210 android mobile phone.
I wanted to know how to unlock my internal memory.
The phone's internal memory is actually greater thn 200MB. But from the DiskUsage it shows only 179.5 MB !!!!
How can I unlock or free the hidden/locked 20-30MB?

Android upgrade
Anyone knowing hoe ==w to upgrade the android 2.2 to 2.3 for Acer E210.
Really been looking to this upgrade.

Hi guys, anybody ever succeded in rooting this E210? I often get to the point where my phone is unusable due to memory ending. Don't know if there's maybe another workaround for this headache, other than rooting and moving apps to SD card.
Thanks a lot!

I succeeded
I succeeded in rooting it using SuperOneClick.
(I could free around 25MB straightaway)
But I still can't feature out how to free the locked internal memory.

I made it too! Tried with the newer version of Superoneclick (2.2 I think) and everything went smooth. Then link2sd to link my apps to the ext2 partition in my microsd and finally freed some mb's and then upgraded all of them.
Finally have a usable E210, it's crazy how these phones get unusable so quickly and without a good reason. I believe this is a good phone, now that I can make something with it!
Thanks SOC

Partition? I cudn't!

How did u create a partition Itried all sorts of formats ext1 ext2 and some more. But it jst made my card unusable!
plzz elaborate on the method u used.
This wud b a really gr8 step to free memory!

You have to make a third partition in order to have them recognized. It's supposed to be some sort of bug, but just make a third fat or whatever partition, 50 mbs or so, and you'll be fine At least it worked on mine and a few other users I read on the internet.
Cheers

Thanks,

you can use things like apps2sd or link2sd to move apps to your sdcard, alternatively, most roms seem to come with a crap load of launchers and music apps etc. delete the ones you dont use/want using root explorer. (they are in system/app folder) that should free up some memory too.

I suggest Link2SD, it's very easy to use, you can choose wich app link and wich not, it's a graphical app and doesn't make the phone slow conversely to App2SD. Now i have like 30 apps and my internal storage is still 183 MB

Solved
Got Solved with Link 2 Sd . . . .

Rules of XDA include NOT bumping your own threads within 24 hours.
This is definitely not an urgent problem - you can't install a game, so what ...
Wait and see if someone chooses to help you, but try to remember that XDA is free and people have lives away from here which are much more important.

And now that I'm awake ... you do NOT have enough space. The app wants to install the data onto your internal space (449MB), not your external SD-Card. With older versions of Android it was easier to install to SD-Card - some apps even gave you the option I seem to remember - but under v4.0+ it is a lot more difficult, and normally requires you to install to internal memory first before moving the data.
Maybe someone else out there has a better idea, but I think you're going to struggle to install this. You can always use Google to search for instaling to SD-Card and you will find stuff about
adb shell pm set-install-location 2

but many apps won't like that (widgets especially are a real problem), or will run badly, so you will just have to play and try it out.
And considering it sounds like you are attempting to install a pirated version of the game, I hope that it fails or, worse, you get some nasty malware. The game is only $1 at the moment on the Play Store.
