hi,
i have a new problem that start in the last few days ,from some reason i can't install new apps and update existing apps- its say: "update unsuccessful" after its download the update and try to install it.
i also tried to delete some apps in order to get some more free space and now i have 50Mb but i still have the same problem.
please advice,
Hello friend , i want to help you out but I'm in the dark,you didn't mention witch app you can't update and if you use a custom rom or stock rom.
Whatsoever IF you can't update an application that was included in your rom and you using a custom rom most of the times they cannot be updated or uninstalled. The best way is to ask your rom's developer to update the rom with the newest versions of the applications you want. Another way (risky way) is to download titanium backup from market, this app gives you the option to uninstall apps builted in rom , after removing the app install the newest version one.
i must warn you uninstaling a builted in app may have bad result to the rom, i suggest a backup before trying this.
About your storage , does your rom has a2sd ? If yes you are OK unless you have really big number of installed apps cuz internal memory still saving a small amount of the apps data(i don't know exactly how it works).
I hope i helped you out and good luck with any decision you ull take.
First, thanks for your attention.
I have Cyanogen-6.1.0-N1-signed and app2sd app.
The apps that i tried to update are not built-in apps(lookout,sms backup...) and i also tried games but still i had the same error...i think i will try to uninstall the relevant apps and reinstall them maybe it will solve the problem...
Kindly check under the "CyanogenMod Settings" - > "Application Settings"
try to disable (uncheck) first the "Allow application moving" and make sure the "Install Location" is set to automatic or Internal..
Lets see if this fix your problem..
if nothing works, try the workaround i have detailed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11945654&postcount=9
When i try to install an .apk (especially 15mb and above of full games) from the sd card i get a lot of "Application not installed" when earlier it used to install. I have Dinc with Redemption Rom 2.4, froyo 2.2. I don't get any low space notifications and there is enough space all around. I don't want to flash my rom again. Is there a solution so i get to keep what i have and continue to install more apps. thanks.
Here's one solution that worked for me:
I installed Android Market 3.0.27 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166152
I cleared the market cash and Google services framework data as per the steps described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893538
Then the trick that did it was to disable app2SD under settings/applications.
I still am missing some apps in the market (Skype, Facebook, Google Maps, etc.) but at least I can install them from apk files now.
I hope this helps.
Cheers

Hi guys !
I ( along with lots of other users ) am facing a big problem with Xperia L. There's some kind of memory leak with the device.
The default storage space for appsdata is 1.57 GB. However, for some unknown reason, the free space & appsdata does not add up to 1.57 GB
This problem is not just restricted to me. A lot of users are also facing this problem. The problem is temporarily solved by factory reset, but it reoccurs again after some time.
I have attached two screenshots.( took a screenshot when i encountered this problem first time & ALSO, took a screenshot after factory reset when i still had this problem )
Sony staff hasn't yet responded to this problem in this thread despite the fact that it was first reported about a month ago !!
( Google this " Xperia L issues" & click on the first link. [ can't post the link as i am a new user } )
me too
i am also facing d same problem. had done factory reset..still it persists..i dont know whether it is due to the latest update..photo quality also reduced after the latest update
I have these for a week now though not sum up the total storage but it never came down so far

I'd also experienced this issue
try this method, it's work.
you need a rooted phone to run this app Download
Install and Open Menu>Batch Actions>Scroll to Manipulate data>Run clear cache for user & system apps>Tick check
Reboot your phone
Check your storage again
Other app doesn't work like clean master because those apps no longer have access to clear cache for system apps. :good:
Temporal solution is to turn off Walkman app n settings and not to install Spotify, because these players cause the problem. I don't know if the other music apps do the same, I didn't check it.

I tried turning off walkman app, but that didn't work for me. & i don't have spotify installed :/
When you turn off the app it stops the memory sucking, it doesn't give you the memory back. It just prevents further consumption.

ahh.. I didn't know that..
I have a small ( probably silly ) doubt here : when i went to Settings>apps to force stop the walkman app, i noticed there were 2 walkman apps in the all apps tab( one was 140 kb & other was 4 mb approx. ). Which one should i force stop ??
Should i do this every time i switch on my phone ?
Thanks a lot.
Don't force stop them, turn them off, it's the button to the right of force close button. And to be sure, turn off both Walkman apps, one of them is music visualisation.

no need to force stop walkman or album..just stop using chrome..use other browsers like opera or firefox..then the internal memory wont decrease..also dont use official facebook app..:

dont forget deleted file cache wechat,album cache
for this kind of operation I like Link2SD, go to the "more" menu in the bottom and select "clean cache"...
another good is "android assistant" that has clean cache too... all these are free from google play to download.

Also having this Device Memory issue
This issue has been causing me problems too.
I have done lots of testing and monitoring around it, including three full factory resets / clean installs of the latest up-to-date version of Android Jelly Bean for Xperia L (build no. 15.0.2.A.17). I've determined that I can prevent the issue by not installing/using the Spotify music app. This is bothersome for me as I rely on Spotify for my mobile music consumption.
When I install and use Spotify, the Available Device Memory space starts to reduce. It then only takes about a week for the Available memory to reach close to 0mb, with the phone error messages then appearing about not having enough memory to install updates or carry out other functions.
It's now about two or three weeks since I performed (via Sony Update on Windows) a third clean OS install because of this problem and at the moment the phone is working smoothly and its memory is staying more or less constant (without Spotify installed). I will keep monitoring device memory usage for a few more days and then install Spotify one last time. If the memory problem then re-occurs, I'll contact Spotify support (not a pleasant prospect as I've found that whenever I contact their support people they don't seem to properly read my emails but instead offer less-than-helpful pre-packaged "solutions"). I imagine they will suggest (amongst other things) another factory reset / clean install. I will probably carry that out but am not hopeful that the problem will be resolved.
There is a 22-page thread on the Xperia Care support forums about this issue with over 200 posts and more than 5000 views. If anyone else is having this problem, please read the thread and log a "Me Too" about it on the thread's first post so that Sony is kept aware of the issue and works harder on a solution. As a new XDA dev user I can't post a link to the forum thread, so search for "Device memory full in xperia L" on the Xperia Care support forums. You will need to register with Xperia Care before being able to post or log a "Me Too".
Thnx.

Sony has launched the Firmware update that updates the Build to 15.3.A.0.26. Update the Firmware and most of the issues are fixed. Most importantly the Storage Bug has been finally fixed

hi friends
i have xperia L and when i bought it , Typed on it 8GB internal storage. but in X-plore apk i saw separated 2GB as internal and 4GB as SDcard.
i bought a 16GB sdcard, but Xperia L can't move Data and Apk and ... to it. Social programs can't move video and imgages to it. so i don't use this 16GB for my files.
Why 8GB separated to 2GB and 4GB? that don't Allow system read my 16GB. why?
anybody have my problem?
what are you doing with this problem?... :crying:
thanks
The XL is partioned into 2x 4 GB. One is for system, the other for personal files. You can use Link2sd (and similar) to move apps to your sdcard1. There are also methods to swith the internal and external (micro sd) arround. (in this way you would have 4 + 16 and an 'external' sd of 4 gb)
Tapatalked that sh*t
Try ES file explorer.
ES file explorer has the option of analyzing the SD card. Use it to analyze the internal SD card and then if and when needed you can even delete the memory clog in it. It would be most probably due to cache present in your device.
I have tried it and it works. Try and let me know if it is working for you.

May be play store is updating. It happens to me too. Let it be for an hour or so and see in Settings>Apps. If its updated you can do whatever you wanted.

Hello i recently installed the axxionkat rom on my galaxy s2 plus(P).
Everything seemed to be working fine untill i wanted to install a few small market apps and apk files.
I dont seem to be able to install all apps for some reason i keep getting the error message that i do not have enough free space :/
So any idea of what this could be or should i just reinstall again?
thx
*edit*
Its rly weird somehow most large apps are going fine through both market and loose apk files but some apps just don't and say not enough space
