Whenever I am wanting to install apps, it keeps on telling me I am out of space while I have plenty of space free on both my SD Card and internal storage.
I am on the correct bootloader and modem and everything if that turns out to be a solution!
Please can you help a brother out and thank you in advance! ?
Turns out it is only for Snapchat coz I tested downloading other apps and it's fine

I have installed Cyanogenmod 7.2 to my Samsung Galaxy i5801 and it seems to be working OK, mostly. I am having to try to reinstall several of the apps I had previously but each time I try I get a message that there is insufficient space to install.
I have checked the reported space and it seems I have 0 internal storage and 14GB external storage. I have tried to change the storage location for downloaded apps to both internal and external with no difference.
Any suggestions for a solution? I have tried searching the forum and, although I see other posts asking similar questions there don't appear to be any answers.

You can try to reflash the rom or you can partition your SD card and use data2sd.
The problem with the install location is, that you need to have free space on the internal storage in advance.
The app is first downloaded into a container on the internal storage, and then installed (at least partly) to the internal storage. So you should have at least appSize * 2 of free space.
Another app you could try is Link2SD. It moves mostly everything of an app to the sd-card. But for that you need to partition your card. Just google for that app

If you are using Marcellusbe's build then Link2SD should work. Just ignore the error and reboot the phone.

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 5830i and today I bought a new SD card because the old one was crap. I had this problem before, I have it now. When I try to download an application from the Android Market, there is always this error ''There is unsufficient storage available''. I checked and I had 23 free MB of Device memory and 1.8 GB free on my SD card. I read a lot of articles about this problem and tried many ''solutions'' and nothing fixed it. I will be really, really thankful if anyone can help me fix this. Cheers!
Try MarketFix by Felipe Aaon
You could also use Link2sd to make room on your internal storage.
the error you are facing is because once your internal storage is filled by approx. 85-90%, it shows the error - Insufficient Storage available
Try moving your apps to sd-card from settings/apps. if you moved them already, have you rooted your phone? If yes, then you can partition your sd-card to make space on internal storage. this can be done either Minitool Partition software for PC or through your CWM or TWRP recovery(needs root and custom recovery flashed)
what it does is, it takes a part of your sd card and converts it for internal storage.
If you have problem with the Playstore, you can root and install a newer version of the playstore. try this though i may not be sure about this
Google for the method as i cannot posts links currently
Cheers
Hi, if you are reading this, your help or solutions to this problem will be greatly appreciated. I have a Kinguser rooted Xperia J running on JB. I swapped the interbal storage with my 16gb SanDisk ultra external one using External2Internal (Root). After that, I installed a few big games like NFSMW. However, after that, when I try to install other apps from Google Play Store, I get the "Insufficient Space" error. I can only download apps that are 5mb or less. I still can install apps from third party sources though. I have tried clearing cache, re-swapping the SDcards, rebooting, but none seem to work. Pls help!

Hi,
I have an Android device. I bought it from our local cellphone shop, a Cherry Mobile phone. name of the unit is Jelly. Its Android Version used was 4.2.2. I have 165mb of internal storage(17.88mb available) and 14.87GB(13.28GB available) of SD card. I've rooted it using FramaRoot. I'm getting this error when I download or install an application using Playstore and APK installer.
"Error downloading. Insufficient storage available".
I tried clearing the cache. I've put it's Preffered install location to "SD card". Default Write Disk to "SD card" . But nothing worked! I really need help!
I cant download anything! I tried to download Link2SD(a 3mb file) to fix but nothing! I've tried installing Lucky Patcher apk. but it said "Insufficient ....................." .. How do I fix this?
I also noticed this when I was running out of storage, even though there was enough space for apps.
Try deleting some more data in your internal storage, not the SD card, and it should work again.
Basically, if u download an apps from the Play Store, the apps will be stored first in the internal storage. After that it will automatically moved to SD Card if u have root and set ur device.
Does the app which u want to download larger than the available internal storage?
If that so, u should free some memory in ur device.
Otherwise, u could try to enlarge the internal storage of ur device, try to find it in other part of this forum corresponding to your device.
17MB internal is the problem. It can't download an app directly to the SD, it has to pass through the internal memory first.
Clear some space on the internal memory.
Also, try dialing *#9900# and clicking on 'delete dumpstate/logcat'. Might give you a few more MB's.

I am running an SGH-T599 with CM11 4.4.4. I am trying to install Mortal Kombat X, but every time I try, I get an error saying "Couldn't install app. Not enough storage available on the external storage," or something close to that. I know for a FACT that I have enough room on the external SD card. The problem is that it's trying to install on the internal memory, which I don't have enough space on. (The internal memory is only 1.44 GB, the game is 1.5) Is there a way to get it to install the data on to the SD card by default? I was able to do this on my old ZTE Savvy, which ran Android 4.1.2. Thank you for the help, as this problem is HIGHLY annoying.

Try this: Set Install Location to SDCard by default
If that doesn't help, see how to do it using Link2SD here:
How to completely setup for using Link2SD
(It requires that your phone is rooted)
Thanks, but I have no access to a computer.
Is there a way to partition the SD card without a computer?

Yes, check this: Partition SD Card from rooted phone
Make sure you have a backup of the memory card safe somewhere, since data can be lost in the process depending upon the partition size
What about receiving no error just the ''Could not install app''?
I can install from Playstore but thats not the point. Should work both ways
I also could not install from playstore, my internal storage has 3gb free how to fix?
Try to delete the google play services cache
Have you tried it?
