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

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
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.cache&hl=en
Hope that helps.

Luckypatcher has the option of fixing every time. Need to be routed though.
Rooting would solve all your problems.

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...

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,
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!

here too, free 200mb and try again. I had to use Link2SD after upgrading PLAY STORE
If you get this error even after having space then its always the play store error.
Open app manager and clear data & cache of play store and then start again. If u again get same error again clear data and reboot. It will definitely work.

xperia c insufficient memory
Hi,
I am using Sony xperia c. Currently I have around 100mb space free but still I cannot
Install any app from play store.
I even tried to clear play store cache but still nothing happened.
I have rooted the phone. Please tell me how I can increase the device memory.
Guys , i tried something and it works .. uninstall updates of google play store ( setting > apps > google play store > unistall updates ) to get back to the older version the start it again and update ur apps .. please let me know if it works
I clear data in Media Storage then I can install app.
insufficient device memory
Thanks it worked , but before installing any app I have to uninstall updates of Google play store.
Anything else can be done to increase device memory, since my phone is rooted.
I can not download more apps just because the inefficient storage
Hey there! It's maybe the dumbest thing to ask, I had this problem before, but managed to fix it, but now the "insufficient storage available in device" just keeps coming though I have enough space in my device
I have tried all ways possible (eg. Clearing cache, dalvic cache, misc files, reinstalling play and play service or more stuffs and ways are possible to solve this problem in internet) but it's isn't getting fixed :sigh:
So it would be great to have some help from you guys!
Thanks in advance!!

I would advice you to check your storage information with the help of any storage related app...
U may use Link2sd .
If the problem persists then you can use this app to increase your storage.
Hope you find this useful!!!

This happens occasionally because in order to install apps from play store there must be at least 15-20% of the total memory available.
Its good that it got fixed but do remember the fact.!!!
