"Error while downloading "(appname)". There is insufficent space on this device."
I seem to have gotten this infamous Market problem on my phone.
Every time I try to install or update an app, I'm met with this problem.
I've deleted the Market data, unmounted and remounted the SD card, deleted updates to the Market, restarted the device and I still get the same problem, even though I have enough space on my device.
I also would rather have an option that doesn't involve me factory resetting my phone.
Can anyone help? I'm on Froyo right now, if that helps.
I'm also using the new market (3.0.27), but it happens regardless.
do you move apps to your sdcard?

Yeah, all the ones I can move to SD I have done.
Though, I still have space on the SD card too.
Had the same problem with Star Chart app.
After I cleaned > 100M from internal memory, I still was not able to install this app from the Market. Ended up downloading apk from the internet (I'd already paid for it) and installing it manually. So it seems like a problem with the Market..
There was a fix program, even on market. I think it was called market Fix. It basicaly puts market cache folder to sd card and links to it. Thats it.

I was trying to download something on my vibrant (a 63 MB zip file) and it keeps giving me an error that says "Cannot finish download. There is not enough space.", which is odd, seeing as how I have 442MB available on my external SD card, 11.29GB available on my internal SD card, and 1.65 GB on my app storage, even though it wouldn't go there.
Some more info: I downloaded about 300MB worth of stuff beforehand. Also changed download locations, same result. Tried rebooting phone, same result.
Just downloaded and installed a market app, so this seems to strictly be internet downloads.
Clear cache or try another browser
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Cache was cleared. Tried downloading same file and others with Skyfire, got error in download.
Same problem here. Just started today. Any fix guys?
Is your phone mounted to your computer? This would cause that problem.
are you guys using a mac comp?
Oops

Can't find this anywhere: Apps have updates but they say 'installing' then 'queued' then 'downloading' then it stops not having downloaded anything. I tried several apps. The Amazon app itself is updated.
Thanks!

Do you have an SD card inserted? If not I believe that is the problem.
Same problem here...have sd card installed and my nook is rooted. Just started happening....???? I also get a message about trying to download from amazon cloud, which I haven't gotten before....coincidence?
Check your micro-SDCard and make sure that it is not full or close to becoming full. This happened to me on my Nook Tablet and it brough about lots of frustration. I went ahead and restored to B&N Stock & rerooted (twice) only to find out that it was because my SD Card was extremely close to being full. I pulled it out, swapped in another one, and presto.
I verified this problem more than once and hopefully you'll be able to resolve this by freeing up some space or just backing up everything on your SDCard to your computer, formatting and giving it a shot once more.
My SD card is 52% full . . . ? I'm assuming that is still enough space?
52% should be enough. Can you try with another microSD card and see what happens? Thanks, keep us posted.

I just started having the same problem. I have Amazon Appstore version release-2.2.0. I tried to uninstall and re-install the Appstore (same version replaced) and no good. Tried to clear cache and re-install... no good.
I started looking at the sd card and cannot find where Amazon keeps the data. Could it be in the main memory?
So... I checked the card (no problems) and tried to re-install an old app. This is what happens:
Downloads fine then stalls during the install. When I go to the App's page, it says "retrieving your app from the cloud."
What else can I do short of wiping and re-rooting?
I have a NT 1.4.0 unrooted with sideloading available. I just launched the Amazon App Store and it was version 2.1.0. I updated it to 2.2.0 with no problem, and then for grins checked for updates for some apps. I successfully updated them.
I also have a N2A installaction (please don't judge me). It had 2.2.0 and an update to an app worked just fine.
Not sure what's going on for others.
re-mount SD card worked for me
I've had the same issue with Amazon apps (downloading and updating). I unmounted and re-mounted the SD card (pop it out and back in) and that fixed the issue. Good luck!
I've never been able to install apps from the Amazon app store for some reason. They'll download, but I can't seem to install them.

I tried that but didn't have any luck. I DID find out where Amazon stores the APK files. It's at:
sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia/cache.
Unfortunately, I couldn't load them from there (using ES File Explorer). I had to email to my self and run them from the Download area. This brought up the "Install App/Install Package" dialogue box. I installed Package and it worked. A lot of steps, but it works.
Unfortunately, i STILL don't know why Amazon can't install the files after downloading them... weird.

Oh, never mind. Just figured out that the app in question (bejeweled) isn't compatible. Other apps install just fine.
Hi,
I have a Huawei Ascend G6 (U10) and rooted my device with TowelRoot 3.0
When you get a new phone it's custom to first fully charge your device and then let it fully deplete before fully charging it again to make sure you use the full capability of your device's battery. (during this time I rooted my device) Now, while it was at only 3% of battery I was playing a silly game, called Can KnockDown 3. While playing this game, my device turned off due to no battery. After it fully charged again, I tried to run the game again but it got stuck on the initialisation screen.
No big deal, I thought. So, I went on and just un-installed it and tried to re-install it. Problem is, I got Google Play error 492 when I tried to download/install the game once more. So I restarted my device, tried to un-install the Play Store and tried a hard reboot. None of those worked.
After some reading I got to know that I had to install an app called "ROM manager", boot into Recovery Mode and delete the Dalvik Cache (Which was said to be located in "Settings". Now, I don't know much about phones, nor Android. So that proved quite difficult. I went into Recovery Mode but was unable to find the "Settings" tab. So, I wiped Cache and the other setting. Can't quite remember. When I rebooted it, the problem was STILL not solved.
Now, I never noticed the REAL problem because I had my external SD card mounted.
This morning, I wanted to change my profile picture on an app called What's App Messenger. It gave me the following error: "Failed to load image data, please try again later." That really bothered me and after a reboot the problem was still not solved. I quickly realised that all my pictures were on my external SD so I turned off my phone to take it out. Booted it without external SD. Tried to make a picture with my camera, but it said "Internal Sotrage full. Please insert an SD card." but when I went to my filemanager there was NOTING on my internal SD. No maps, nothing. However, in my settings it says that only 1.98 GB of the 4 GGB internal storage is used...
Could someone please help me with this?
try using DiskUsage app, it shows every folder in your phone and how much space they take, also if you have rooted your phone, it shows wich system folders take most of the space (logs and tmp folders, safe to erase)

I appreciate your reply, but I don't think that's the problem. I think my internal SD card is f***ed up now. I've tried wiping it all I want but to no avail. Probably something went wrong with rooting it, or installing ClockWorkMod or something. I don't know.
What I do know is that I need help!
Have you found a solution
After rooting my Z2 tablet, and installing SuperSU, and editing Platform.XML to allow writing to the SD card, I attempted to install a few apps to move apps to the SD card. Although all were given super user privileges, none of them worked.
"All-In App2SD" gave me an error. "DS Super App2SD Lite" gave me a list to select from and it gave me an error telling me to make sure I am rooted and something else I couldn't read because it immediately opened the app info for every app selected which I had to manually go through.I tried "Root # Data2SD card." doesn't seem to do anything. I tried to create a storage to mount (which is a weird approach), but it won't go any further. I tried installing "Auto App2SD (Move)", but it wouldn't even install. Google Play says there is insufficient space - when I have more than 20 GB free internal and more than 90 GB free external. I tried "AppMGR III" and it opens all the App Info screens as well, but this one gave me a message telling me to use a move to phone option, but none exists.
So is the tablet unable to use App2SD? Or am I doing something wrong?

I use "SD Kitkat Fixer" and "FolderMount" from Play Store and have no issues to move app data to SD card.

Unfortunately, for some reason, some apps give me the error "Insufficient Storage Available" from within the Play Store and both of those apps give me that error. (Clearing cache, a call to google, reset device, etc doesn't resolve the issue, and it's strangely specific to apps related to rooting.)
However, I was able to manually edit the Platform.XML folder (which is all apps like that seem to do anyway) and I have mount /system.
I'm running the latest CM snapshot. I've been getting the infamous "Insufficient Storage Available" error for a while not, usually with chrome. There are various solutions. The "delete /data/app-lib/<app>/lib" solution was working ok for me but I can no longer find chrome in there anymore for some reason. I've already moved every app that can be moved to the "internal" SD card. All the "solutions" are really just workarounds trying to clear space.
Is it possible to increase the size of the partition by re partitioning the internal storage?

I know that apps can be moved to the SD card. That isnt a solution nor my question.
I'm asking of the internal storage can be repartitioned
I'm having the same issue. I desperately need to reparation my phone.
i'm running viper rom with the sdcard swap mode.
i'm now back to getting insufficient memory messages when trying to update apps or sometimes run apps. it shows i still have plenty of free memory... i have been moving apps to sd card and that works for a little while.

You need to look at internal storage, not SD card storage.
So I did system dump today to explore the files on my computer see what's hogging all of my space.
Background: I have only have 13 apps installed.
What I found is that my data/data is 346 MB and my data/delvik-cache is 452 MB.
So the files installed by CM are getting more numerous and of greater size. Not sure what to do to solve this problem.

same issue here. davlik cache is similar to a cache of your applications so they start faster. So it doesnt matter if you move apps to SD, you'll still have davlik.
Also, many apps will still store data in internal memory eventhough the app itself is on SD. I wish there were a way to move the data.
Or as I initially suggested, re-partitioning.

well, there isn't ANY easy re-partitioning tool for android out in the wild that i KNOW of ... but, (at least to let you know) ... I'm currently still trying to _hack_ something together similar to the internal storage-partition upgrades that the other HTC One devices with MSM8960 recieved ... where they officially unified the /user partition with the internal /sd-card (fat) partition! ... it might take a few weeks until i have something to show around (as work keeps me very busy throughout the week), but i'm working on it.
just as a quick question so CM currently DOES put it's dalvik to the /user partition??? i thought they put it to /cache??? (at least on CM10.1 and CM10.2) ................ so feedback would be highly welcome :laugh:
