Game says not enough space - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to dl a game from the market, but it keeps telling me my phone has insufficient space. The game is around 40mb, but both my phone space and my sd card space are in the many gb range. I just don't get it.

I get this from time to time also. Try deleting market data and then try to download it again.

I was hoping it would be that easy, but I just get the same message. Lame.

Your /datadata partition is either full, or will be over full if the game is installed. Try uninstalling another large app and see if that helps.

I think its /cache directory where temp downloads from market are stored. Try cleaning cache partition from recovery.
On CM7 I only get around 40mb free in cache so big download from market have problems from time to time unless I clean it.

Ever since the new market came out I have had trouble with updating and downloading apps. It says starting download and downloads till it reaches 100% and then it refuses to install. Anybody else experience this or know a fix to it.

Yes, although usually I need to open up the market, find the app, and cancel the download first, before trying again.

New Market issue?

I'm having a lot of issues w/ the new Market app. It's not showing a lot of my paid for apps as well as others. Is there some sot of fix? Sorry if this is already a listed issue, I looked around and didn't find anything.
I agree, I myself have been. having issues with the new market even with market enabler turned on
I have been having trouble with it force closing. Wen back to the good old green market.
Market Enabler hasn't fixed anything. I tried several different apk's and none of them worked.

I've found that if you use the market site to download an app that you are missing, they'll show up.

Sent from my T959 using XDA Premium App
If you're having problems installing and updating apps (getting the "Not enough space on this device" error) you will have to empty unused files out of your /cache directory. For some reason, the new Market uses /cache to download files to install apps instead of a folder in /data.
I'm simply having an issue with Market not showing a lot of my paid for apps.

I'm the only one with no problem with the new market. It loads even better for me.

I emptied my /cache folder and still get th "not enough space for download" error. What else could be wrong? Does anyone have the apk for the old market?

Same here. It's been perfect for me.
Can't blame me tho just cuz I was the first one to upload the apk once I got the update lol.
But for real, it just works well for me. I'm sure you've done this but have you tried going to the applications settings and clearing data ? IDK, maybe may help. Otherwise, I'm no help. Sorry

Memory Card Does Not Exist

I have a Samsung Epic 4g and just recently while trying to download third party apps or anything outside of the Android Market I get the error: Memory Card Does Not Exist. Has anybody ever had this error? Please help!!!!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I've got the sd card does this before just the restart your phone and see if your sd card is back using a file browser.

Yea I tried to reboot but still its giving me errors
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Does file explorer find the sd card? Is the sd shown as mounted in the settings?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yes it finds it, its just every time I time I try to download something from one of those downloading sites, it just goes to memory card does not exist. Is my sd car corrupted or something?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Well you might need to format your sd card, or not use third party markets...
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
How do you reformat your card? Do I lose everything that is saved on my card when I do?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes, a reformat wipes the sd. To reformat you can do it from recovery by mounting sd and formating or from the settings menu
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Please download another app from Android market and see if this error also appears.
Thats the weirdest part about this. I can download from the market just fine, its just gives me the memory card does not exist when I go to download a zip from one of those file sharing sites.

Is it possible that the problem comes from the the app itself, maybe you can try another app from the same site or another one from the shared links. It happens to me sometime, and I will just let it go and try something else.
Thats what I thought too but thats not it. It gives me that error whenever I download from any of those file sharing sites. I tried to download Roms, Music, Etc with no luck... It just keeps saying Memory Card Does Not Exist.

How many apps do you have? There's a few gigs reserved for apps, isn't there?
Try clearing the Market's data in the manage apps menu, and try again. If that doesn't work, uninstall the apps you don't use!

How the hell did you fill up 2gb worth of app storage already? Damn
Impressive that you filled it up already. I think I have 70 apps and I still have 1.35gb left.

Unless specified other in the phone storage options :

I found a solution and made a thread here. I haven't tested it on our device yet but I believe it should work.
It looks promising though and it does address these issues.
You can go into settings>apps, and move some of the apps (internal storage), to phone storage (sd1 10gb). Basically I have around 12 GB to work with if I move stuff around.

Please help with storage problems

Hey guys,
I'm having a weird thing happen with my internal storage on my phone.
I'm using stock XWLP7 firmware.
When I try and install an app it says I haven't got enough space, it tells me to delete 1.6gb (I'm trying to install a large Gameloft game)
Sure enough I look in settings-storage and I only have around 700mb available, but I should have ALOT more...... Where has it all gone?
I'm totally stumped and would be very great full for some help.
Here's a screen shot to explain my issue.
If I deduct the used memory from my total 11.49gb I should have 9.8gb spare! It tells me I only have 745mb available, does anyone know where it's gone? lol
Or why this happens?
Thank you guys!

Your screenshot is not displaying.
However you can move some big apps to SD
Thank you for your reply Jokesy!
I'm aware I can move apps to SD, but I would like to find out why my storage is all messed up.......
It just doesn't make any sense....
If anyone knows how to fix it and maybe get back my 9gb of storage I will be very greatful

Get app called sd maid and go through each section clearing stuff.
If you got cwm, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions and reboot.
Thats all i can offer, it may work!?
IRONY = XDA app, buggy and doesn't work properly!
Mod Edit - do not advocate warez
Thank you for your advice
I already have pro version if SD maid and regularly go through each section deleting stuff.
I also regularly wipe cache and dalvik cache. Probably do them both almost every other day!
Fix permissions whenever I install an app and I also zipalign all my apps.
So I don't really know what's going on..... It's really puzzling me.

The free storage displayed by the system usually only reflects the sdcards partition status, while the low space warning is probably talking about your /data/ partition.
