I'm using Sprint Optimus S with Hydro ROM 1.1 (GB build), my david cache only has 124mb in total size, and now only 7mb free.
Anyway, I got the "insufficient space" error when trying to download anything larger than 7mb from the play store, so I searched and found this method of using "cache fixer". I followed the instructions as follows:
1. clear play store data, and force shut down the service
2. use the cache fixer to clear david cache, i will normally have 70mb free after this. Sometimes I click the temporaily move the cache to SD too.
3. Either way, after step 1 and 2, I could download the app fine (larger than 7mb), but every time when it trys to install the downloaded app, the "package invalid" error would pop out.
Can anyone point out a solution to this problem please?
Thanks a lot.

I just got my wife a new Samsung Infuse. Successfully rooted with the SuperOneClickv1.9.1. I was then able to restore some of her old apps with Titanium Backup.
My problem now is that when she goes to install a few additional apps she gets the following error:
Installation Error - Insufficient Storage Available
However the SD Card and Phone Storage pages show plenty of space!!
Available Phone Storage = 1.46GB
I realized the problem after she had installed some simple stuff like Handcent and MyFitnessPal and they just disappeared. So I went to install ES File Explorer and RomManager to do some troubleshooting and that installed successfully. But another weird thing was that those two didn't show up in the app draw. So I went back to the Market thinking I would try and install again and the market showed it was already installed. So I was able to open the ES File explorer and rommanager programs from the market with the "open" button.
does anyone recognize something like this? I can't explain it?! I'm using the stock rom.
i read something about installing more than 50 apps?
i read that i should try to wipe the dalvik cache? but i can't figure out how to get into cwm recovery to do that?!

I found both of these and I think of my self capable of doing this stuff, but i can't figure out the exact steps to get all the way to wipe the Dalvik Cache.
i'm open to all suggestions..
Please help

This phone auto-copies your apps to your microSD card (external_sd). Try going to Settings -> Applications ->Manage Applications -> On SD Card -> Click an application -> Move to Phone.
Rinse, Lather, Repeat for each application.
Thats not happening with mine. All my apps are installing to the internal sd card. Nothing seems to want to go to my 32gb external sd card except pics and videos. Game data, navionics maps and all that load onto the internal sd
I am still getting this...sometimes I get it sometimes I don't...but there are a few apps that never install because of this...any ideas?

I had this problem and I just kept trying to install. Did a reboot and tried again and it installed. Not sure of a real fix though.

Try this if you have the new market with the book and movie categories. Uninstall the market update and you'll be able to download your apps using the older market. There is a bug with the new market.
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Downloaded>Market>Uninstall Updates
I had this problem a while back. After hours (i mean hours) of googling, I found that the Market saves the app into the /cache partition. Samsung unfortunately made this partition only 30MB in size. Now, if you rooted and installed a custom rom that has the voodoo lagfix (ext4 partitions), 5 MB will be used as a journal for the filesystem. This means that if you try to download an app thats greater than 25 MB, the market will say that you have no space available! (cue expletives!)
The easiest way to fix this is to temporarily bind the cache partition to a location on your sdcard. For example, lets say you have a folder on your sdcard called syscache.
you would bind /cache to this directory with (run this in terminal or adb. run su first)
Code:
#umount /cache
#mount -o bind /sdcard/syscache /cache
Unfortunately i can't seem to find out how to unbind the directory after i am done. Found this solution on the internet. Use at your own risk :]
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.
I have been having this problem for quite sometime now. I have a Galaxy S Plus running on Android Gingerbread. Whenever I`m trying to download any apps I always get this error:
Update for "App Name"/ could not be downloaded due to an error. (905)
I have googled this problem and found out that I should just clear the cache of Google Play and the data of the Download Manager. I did this and it worked for a while however the problem keeps on coming back. I am already tired of repeating the steps over and over again. Now it`s gone worse, I cannot download anything. The same error keeps on coming up even if I already cleared the cache and data.
I believe I have sufficient space on my phone (phone, USB storage and SD card). Please help me out with my problem! THANK YOU.
Download gapps.zip for your device from xda.
Copy it to the sd card and flash using clock work mode.
The problem will be solved

If you are able to Wipe data, Might Fix the Problem (if rooted or different ROM wipe in Recovery)
Hey i did not understand what u meant to say.Will you be kind enough to elaborate?
THANKS
Wipeing data with erase everything and start from brand new. Putting Google play store back on there. Go to settings and try either backup and reset or storage and tap factory data reset. If you are rooted or on a different Rom tell me

Or, go to settings/applications and select google play, clear data,cache and reboot. Or simply redownload the app.
He uninstalled Google play he can't get it back unless he factory resets

Hi,
I had over 2GB of space before this happened. I bought Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour (2 GB app) and after downloading, it failed three times (twice citing an unknown error and the third time it said there was not enough space), but has left 2GB of files on my phone even though Google Play reports that it's not installed. The second and third time it only downloaded 20MB instead of 2GB.
Now the app isn't installed and I'm stuck with only 300MB left, with no way to remove the downloaded files or install the app. It seems that Google Play failed to remove the files from the app that failed to install and I now cannot install the app or remove the files.
Also, the refund button has disappeared from the app page, even thought it's supposed to stay for 15 minutes after the app was installed and opened - this app was never even installed.
I've tried restarting the phone and clearing Google Play Store and Download manager data and cache. I've also looked in the data and cache folders in the root of the storage, but both were empty.
Does anyone know how to remove the left over files?
Thanks.
Any suggestions?
Try sdcard/android/obb/
Or sdcard/android/data

Thanks a lot, I found "com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GLoftM4HM" which was 1.91 GB under sdcard/android/obb/, which was where the left over file was!
