Hello,
after installing some apps (not really many apps) I got the error, that there's no storage/RAM left when trying to install another app from the Market
So I was wondering if there's any possibility to install Apps2SD+ to my HTC Sensation running on Revolution HD 2.1.0?
I've searched the Sensation-forum for Apps2SD, but unfortunately I found nothing...
I would really appreciate any help from you guys!
Best regards

go to settings>applications>manage applications>go through the apps and cliack on each one>if available click move application to sd card>profit
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.
Hello,
I'm experiencing an issue with Gingerbread or ICS ROMs with Sense whereby i reach a point of trying to install apps and I receive the error 'Insuffcient Storage Available'.
Meanwhile I typcially have over 100mb available on the internal memory and 11GB available on the SD card.
I've tried:
- cleaning cache
- uninstalling apps (temporarily works until more apps are installed)
- fixing permissions
- using recovery to wipe cache and dalvik cache
- also removed SD card and tried installing apps, this still fails
I seem to notice the error with Sense based ROMs and can't recall if I have experienced this with MIUI ROMs.
I'm unsure what else to try and I'm wondering if anyone has more insight how to resolve this problem permantly so I can install more apps.
Any help is indeed appreciated, so thank you in advanced.
P.S. Current Phone info:
ROM - InsertCoin ICS Sense ROM 4.0.6
Phone - HTC Sensation
Fully rooted, SuperCID'd, current 4EXT touch recovery
This may be obvious but......have you moved your already installed apps to SD? The ones that can be moved.
I've had the same problem, but rebooting usually fixed it for me.

Hey guys,

The problem is not insufficient internal storage, it is some cache or market data. Since you have cleared cache, try going into Manage Apps, go to the market, and clear data. That fixed it for me before.
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 ran into this issue a lot when i had 100mb free, so i just moved most of the apps to usb storage (ie: ones using up 10mb+ of storage), and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Make a wipe dalvik cache, you should resolve.

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.
Stock cache cleaner
I had the same problem; just found this free app that does the app cache wipe on the Play Store:
App Cache Cleaner, free, size 250KB

Hope that helps.

Luckypatcher has the option of fixing every time. Need to be routed though.

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...

You are, of course, totally correct.
What if I dont even have the app folder showing on astro or ES explorer? And never had that app before and it continue to show me that error? What it can be? I'm using Paranoid Android 2.51 (CM10) Rom... Tried Lucky Patcher, wiped all the **** and it continues .. any solution? Thanks and sry about my english xD
Hi all,
I already searched around and could not find anything close to a solution. I have a huge ANNOYING problem. I haven't had this issue until recently. Or rather, I haven't noticed it until now. I flashed a new ROM coming from CM10 thinking it was the ROM, but I have tried two different ROMs and still the same problem. WTF!? I keep getting the message "Insufficient Space available" error when trying to install programs from Google Play or trying to side-load.
For some reason I have two internal storages when I look under storage in system settings. One is 1.97GB and the other is 11.24GB. In the smallest one, I have 209MB available. WTF!? Yet the other has 11.17GB. It's to the point where I have only 9 progrmas installed! 9!! Something's got to be wrong here, Please help!
What's the deal!? Anyone have a solution. I have done a factory reset and cleared everything. Still nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
*temporary fix*
OK, so I went in and cleaned out the folder /system/lost+found
It had 1.6gb of used space. Deleted it all and now I have that space available.
The main reason for this being a temporary fix is because I still have two internal storages. So eventually the 2gb where all the programs are being installed into, will run out again. So then phone is not taking advantage of all 14 GB available for storage.
-Carlos
Did you wipe data and caches?
I had this problem before, where I had gigabytes of files in the lost+found folder, which would take up the internal storage where apps are installed. When I went to another ROM, I did a clean flash, and even though I restored all apps from Google, I had much more space available.

I did all that. Just like always. Even before I flashed the new ROM, I cleared cache and wiped data. Even did Dalvik cache wipe. Still nothing.Where is this lost+found folder you speak of. Maybe go into it manually. But still doesn't explain all that available space.

Wipe data from google play services, google play, and google services frameworks. Clearing the data also wipes the cache for you. To do this go to Manage apps>all and pick those apps. It'll take some time to resync all your google info but after that you should be good.
So I just had this problem yesterday and what worked for me is to wipe Everything, except for the sd cards. That should clear out the data that is from your last rom.

Actually the way to fix it is set "use rm-rf" options in settings in TWRP while flashing. I don't know why but make_ext does not work sometimes

I'll try that. Actually I got it to where I can actually install other rpogrmas. But the phone still has a 2gb internal storage and 11.4gb internal storage. Which is pretty frustrating. Buddy's S3 only has one internal storage. Sondoea another Buddy's note2. So I'm lost as to why I have 2 internal storages. Wtf!?
For right now, see first post for my "temporary fix"

Have you figured out a solution (and not just a temp. fix) to your 2 internal storages issue? I'm having that problem right now after flashing official CM 10.2.

Did you wipe internal sd card as well or did you mean you wiped everything except both the internal and micro sd card?

My solution was to disable Sync App Data in my google account as I logged into a factory wiped phone. I had Despicable Me 2 installed on my tablet, but even though it wasn't installed on my phone it was still syncing the 600 (SIX HUNDRED) MB of App data (videos I assume?!). There is no easy way to know which apps are doing this(abusing data sync), especially if you have multiple devices using the same account but different app sets. Wiping /data and making sure not to sync app data was the only thing that worked for me. Once you are in, you may be able to delete that app data by delteing the app from the 'My Apps' 'All Apps' section, but there should really be a better way to manage this data.
Did anyone come up with a permanent fix for this? I have tried flashing several roms several times and always end up with the split storage.

I haven't found a permanent solution, but you can install apps on the external SD card. I think there is an Xposed module that will force apps onto the sd card as well.
Recently switched to CM11 nightly, and while trying to install some app, I got insufficient storage message. Now what the.... ????
1) I started reading forum after forum, some suggested to clear, davlik cache and cache from recovery, don that did not helped.
2) Others suggested to delete everything from /data/app-lib/app-path/lib but none of my app's had LIB sub-directory in /data/app-lib/app-path/
3) Others suggested to use Lucky Patcher to get rid of unused odex files. Done that but no odex files found.
4) Other suggested to get rid of applications cache, done - no result.
5) Dumpstate/logcat does not exists (no such directory as /data/log )
I still have over 450 Mb of storage available on the phone, but I cannot install any app.....
This drives me mental.
Any ideas please?
Thanks.

Do a clean install.
How?...
Do a factory reset and flash the last snapshot. I think the last one was M7.
If your problem persists after that, you're dealing with a hardware issue.

I did a full data wipe and I installed CM 10.2 stable, annoying enough google failed to restore to the device, so I had to redo everything. Anyway even with CM 10.2 after a FULL wipe I'm still facing the same issue. My device reports that I have more than 500 Mb free space, but I cannot install new software, however I can copy and download to it without any problems....
It's not a major think I cannot leave with out, just it's quite frustrating...

i've been running cm11m7 on my relay for about a month now, and even with a bunch of apps installed, and letting touchdown (my work email app) use internal storage for emails and attachments, i still have 3.5gb free on internal.
my guess is you have a ton of large apps using up all your internal storage.
how much free space do you see when you go into settings/storage immediately after you do a clean install of CM? skip the google account stuff during first-time setup so it doesn't try to sync apps/etc, so you get a good, accurate measurement.
for reference, mine shows a total of 5.06gb, with 3.52gb available. 1.51gb used by apps, 2.31mb pictures, 352k audio, 5.5mb downloads, 102mb cached, and 7.82mb misc. that's not counting my SD card, which doesn't have any apps on it. just MP3s, pictures, backups (titanium) and other misc files i keep around for work. i'm thinking after a fresh install, you should have at least 4.5gb free.
when i go into apps and sort by size, firefox (surprisingly) takes the most at 307mb, then google text to speech with 263mb (because i downloaded the high quality english pack), then touchdown at 100mb, chrome at 78mb, onenote at 64mb, kindle at 56mb, and it just goes down from there.

I'm not so sure it's a hardware issue.
Dear OP:
Question 1
Are you still having this issue? If not, what was the workaround?
Question 2
What app are you using in order to download and install the software you're installing?
Question 3
What's the exact error message you're getting? Please provide a screenshot if possible.
Question 4
The Google Play store definitely requires 500 megs free before it will install anything. Other software installation methods may also have their own odd requirements.
500 mebibytes equals 524.288 megabytes.
Let's round that number (524.288) up to 550 megs.
Try freeing up 550 megs, then try installing a small app (one which requires 3 MB of storage space or less). Can you install it successfully?
Did you manage to solve the issue , i too have the same problem . I have more than 5gb free on internal storage
