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,
I have had my phone now for a week, and am a complete noob to Android.
All my other phones were windows based, and I am used to changing phones firmware etc. I am OK with a lot of the terminology, only, not with Android based products.
Now for my problem:
When I try to install an app, I am getting the "insufficient storage available".
It appears (to me, anyway), that it's only when I try to install, or update an app, that required a rooted phone to install/run, (ie. busybox, root checker, titanium backup, etc.) OR an update to one of the apps that came as "standard" with the phone (ie. ROM based).
All other apps appear to install fine.
I have Googled the error and found loads of people with this problem, and some have had it fixed by the methods below. I have tried them, but I still have the problem (as do MANY others it seems).
Does anyone know of a sure-fire way of getting the functionality back ?
I have a couple of copies of LuckyPatcher.apk, but I can't run or install either of them.
I have tried loading the <whatever>.apk file on the phone, then running it, I just get the "out of memory" error.
I have tried to just copy the <whatever>.apk into \system\apps, but it wont copy - I just get a "copy failed" message.
I have checked in \data\app for .odex files - there are none.
I have manually been through the Manage Apps details and cleared out the caches.
I have re-booted MANY times.
I did have Titanium Backup, but I have uninstalled it for now, as the pro key wont install, nor will any of the other "pro" keys I have purchased.
I hope I have presented enough information to start someones grey matter to tick over some rational fault finding techniques.
Please. Can someone help me ?
Regards,
Paul

Hi,
I think your Internal Storage is empty.
You could move apps from Internal Storage to the internal storage.
Hope it helps

Hi,
I've fixed it now.
All the questions that have been asked are answered in my first post. I thought I would try and be helpful by including everything I could find about my phone and problem. I had scoured this (an other) forums, and read the questions people asked, as well as the answers they gave, hence the amount of information I gave originally.
Asking questions that have already been answered is of little use to me, and others in the same predicament, although I realise that it increases your post count.

ROM: Scott's 10.1 6/16
Play Store Version: 4.1.6
Rooted: Yes
So after flashing to the 6/16 CM 10.1 unofficial, my phone will not install or upgrade 2 apps, Icon Pack- Black and Blue and OfficeSuite Pro 7. I thought it may have been the size that wasn't allowing it, but other apps over 25mb have installed and upgraded just fine.
I've tried to unmount the sd card and install but had no luck, also tried without the sd card in the phone too. I've also cleared the cache and data on both the play store and download manager with no luck. I've tried on wifi and nothing. I have also tried deleting my google account from the phone and that too didn't work. Also wiped the cache partition with no luck too.
Stealthycheif sent me the apk, but they just updated today and the update won't work, Mobile Systems told me to contact Google and they basically said nothing they could do since it's a custom rom.
Is there anything else I can try?
hi everyone. i was using link2sd ver.3.7 free on my phone to link apps to sd card but i had installed it from apk file and not google play so i thought to uninstall link2sd and do a fresh install from google play. i read at link2sd faq that if i uninstall and reinstall link2sd my linked apps wont be effected. so i uninstalled link2sd but after uninstalling i was not able to install it back from play store. i get a error of insufficient space. i checked apps tab and i had a lot of free space and i was also able to install other apps the error was just with link2sd. i tried uninstalling few apps but it didnt helped and i still got that error. then i booted in cwm and wiped dalvik cache and system cache partition and now i am not able to see any of my linked apps in app drawer and i am still not able to install link2sd. the same error comes. i tried downloading apk from apk mirror but that dosent work too. pls help me all my apps are gone even google play store as i have linked it too. pls help really want my apps back
