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:

Are the apps you are trying to install ones you have installed before?

No, that isn't the issue. These are new apps.
How many apps do you have?

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.

Can you tell me how much space has the Galaxy S3 for Intallation of apps? Confers with what I read on other sites: 2GB? My S2 had 16 GB internal, but only 1.75 GB for installing apps! ! Thankful!

Good Morning Team,
Has anyone had a problem when attempting to download apps on their GS4g after root? Sometimes, I would have to restart my phone several times before being able to install apps(From market or SD). Thanks in advance.

Go to settings, applications, manage applications, go to all applications, find market and delete the cache.

Thanks for the reply. I've just tried that and it still does not work.
Did you do anything with titanium backup when you switched roms? Or do anything with CWM?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
No. I'm using Odin to install the roms. Any other solutions?
I know this has to be a common problem. Whenever I click "ok" to download an app from the market, it says "Install", but it is greyed out. When I attempt to install an app from my sd, it just says "installing", but the app never installs..
So, I have figured out what went wrong just in case anyone comes across the same problem. It was my SD card. After reformatting my SD card, the downloads work perfectly.

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.

So any of you facing this issue with the new market? Im really frustrated with this. Ive tried everything but nothing really helps also i dont find an alternative app market for temporary use.

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?

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.
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??
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
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.

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

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...

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.
I have tried clearing caches and dalvic.. also reinstalled gapps.. can't get it to work..

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..

My Apps2sd (in ROM toolbox) was set to install to SD card automatically and as soon as I changed it AUTO (location) problem was fixed.

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.
