on a friends stock Amaze(no root or anything), he gets this error when trying to download new apps from the market. his internal storage is free about 250mb, and his phone storage free is almost 10gb, what gives?
Tell him to move over some apps from phone storage to his internal mass storage. That's the only thing I can think of. almost all the apps that I have encountered can be installed on an sd card (or mass storage on amaze)but there are those few here and there that don't so only move over what apps will still work.

that's lame. if i were to root his phone and install a different ROM, would a ROM with apps2sd resolve this issue completely? thanks
edit: so clearing the data and cache of the market app seems to have resolved this issue, for anyone who has it.

I have had an intermittent (and now present) problem on 1.26, 1.57 and now 1.83 (with and without my gladiatrix p-ROM).
I cannot get the internal phone storage to unmount(!) I have tried the usual method with "USB Connection/USB Mass Storage" - the external card unmounts but the internal does not - and the internal storage cycles between "unavailable" to the amount of storage free about every 30 seconds. All the drivers are properly installed.
I've tried "Unmount the internal phone storage" from within settings/SD Card... - a message says it is unmounting but it never does.
I've done multiple reboots (this used to help but doesn't anymore).
When I change the USB connection to "Motorola Phone Portal" or "Windows Media Sync" - they are both seemingly able to access the internal phone storage and all drivers install successfully.
My real goal is both to backup the internal phone storage but also to use Documents To Go (for which synchronization seems to get harder and worse with every new version) which can only access the internal phone storage.
Something seems corrupted - does anyone have a similar problem or any suggestions?
I know this thread is super old, sorry about that, but I have this same issue and it just started today. Anyone have a solution for this?
I started this thread and went back to a clean 183 cwm and that didn't help. Given the rarity of the problem I'm beginning to think hardware more than software?
I had this problem too and what I did was to reboot my atrix and as soon as it would let me in the options to unmount I did and it let me...then I reformatted it .

I tried automount and another market app i found called SD mount (or something like that) and neither worked for me. I can easily mount the external SD but the internal SD/storage remains inaccessible except using root explorer on the phone itself. Maybe I'll finally RSD to the 2.3.4 release (I'm on a themed 1.83 right now) and this will go away, but I'm beginning to think it won't.
I bit the bullet, unlocked the bootloader, installed the pudding 1.83 then upgraded to a GB based build. Right after the SBF load the internal storage would unmount fine. Definitely some sort of odd corruption that is not hardware related. I don't know if this helps anyone else with this problem since an SBF and a clean rebuild is a PITA.
Hi everyone
I was wondering what is happening with apps when you are installing them from the market. where they are downloaded to. is it some kind of temporary folder or what?
I have a Coby 7022(root) and when i try to download bigger app then 30mb, I get a error. the android is downloading ( you can see the progress) it but after a while it it says not enough memory to download.
Thank you
It would seem that you may need to free up some space on your memory card, you can free alot up by clearing your browser history and cache.
there was a market bug that when you tryed to download a app around that size it would give you that error message it happened to me even though i had over 3GB free internal storage but when the market updated that was fixed for me

Download 'market fix' from Google play and run it (it needs root access though).

on my phone all application with launcher too in sd card ext2 partition.
2 days ago my phone internal memory is 110mb free.
but in 2 days i download and update many applications
and test it and uninstall some from them but all this application installed in my sd card memory by Link2sd application.
although my internal memory is full...
so i uninstall my all user (all means all) applications.
although my phone memory is still full.
because my all applications are in sd card partition.
So my Quotation is WHY my phone memory is full without any user applications on it.....?
i think when i download from market it first download apk file some where in phone memory and then install. but after uninstalling this application (which downloaded from market)the apk remain in phone memory...
where is this download location....can you tell me please...
HELP ME...

Hi:
I have a lot of apps on my phone and I have la 14Gb free on USB Storga but my phone is still showing that the memory is almost full. Please help me, Im using stock ROM 2.3.6 and I have the same issue with a Galaxy Ace. Please help me!!!!!
s2 for 2 gb for apps install and stuff, and I yet to see it get filled with apps, I mean how many apps you need when mobile apps aren't big to start with.
And the data that get downloaded usually go into internal sd, or external sd.
So you might want to check if the cache of some app is acting naughty.
I have like 100 apps. I dont want an SD card, because I still have a lot of free space on usb storage.
Hi,
Use Link2SD app.
You, can move app automatically or manually.
I think Titanium Backup do it also, but Link2SD had a simplest use, and works great.
Enjoy
I'm running the stock unrooted AT&T Jellybean 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Note i717. Since upgrading to 4.1.2, I've been occasionally getting the dreaded Play Store "Insufficient Space" error when app updates are being applied. This behavior seems random, and cannot be replicated. A reboot clears it ... for a little while.
I've spent several hours searching XDA and Google. I've found a thread that discusses partitions in the i717, and suggests moving apps to the external SD card. That's fine, but it seems like a partial solution, since even after moving an app to the SD card, *some* of the app still appears to be in "device storage".
Here is what I see on my phone:
- System Storage: 1.69GB / 1.97GB
- USB Storage: 10.17GB / 10.84GB
- SD card: 57.96GB / 59.46GB
It seems to me that if I WAS running out of space, I should be able to remove files from "USB Storage", to free up more room for Apps. This, however, seems not to be the case. It appears that ALL apps I download are installed to the much smaller "System Storage" partition. When I move an app to the SD card, space is freed up in "System Storage" (and NOT "USB Storage") and taken up on the external "SD Card". But of course in the stock configuration at least, not all apps can be moved, so, again, if I want to install additional apps, I will eventually hit a wall - and, it seems, a very NEARBY 2GB wall, beyond which I cannot really install apps.
So, my questions are:
1. Am I reading this right? Are we really installing apps to the much smaller System Storage partition instead of the larger user-access "USB Storage" partition? Or do I have a setting wrong or an artifact left over from upgrading?
2. Can I repartition this phone (I know it means a full wipe, I'm fine with that) to get more space in System Storage so I can comfortably install more apps? If so, how might that be done?
3. I've rooted this phone in the past, and have run custom ROMs on it but have never hit this particular problem before. Do I really need to root or go custom again to solve this problem? Would doing that solve the problem automatically, or do I have to "do something" once I'm rooted?
4. Is there a better way of dealing with this (other than "don't install so many apps!" ) that I'm not aware of?
Thanks in advance for any help/pointers/guidance!

go to manage apps and look at downloaded apps. sort by size and see if any are unusually large. some apps are not designed well and store data on the system side rather than use sd. i know next issue is one of these. if you download to many magazines it will use up all free space. if any that you dont use daily and are large i would remove. i keep a copy of all my apps on my external card. only apps i use daily are installed and any others i can install when needed without having to download again. also good when you dont like an update and want to go back to previous version.

Thank you for this. It seems to me that ALL the apps I've downloaded - including such favorites as Google Chrome - are installing themselves completely inside the System Storage, and that NONE of the apps are installing in the larger USB storage partition.
So it's not only a matter of poorly-written apps, it seems to be a systemwide thing. Each time I remove an app, space gets freed up out of the 2GB system partition. Nothing changes in USB storage.
How can I approach this problem?
You are confusing yourself. First off it is NOT "system storage". It is "device memory". That 2GB is the default location to install most apps. However you can move most apps to the "USB storage" (10GB) in Application Manager. In application manager it is called "SD card" and not "usb storage". Do not confuse sd card with your external micro sd card. That is referenced as SD card in the storage menu but it is actually external SD card.
It is poorly written software by samsung. When you go to move apps in the application manager it should say usb storage and not sd card. And when you move them back it should say device memory and not device storage.

Okay, thanks for explaining that. I understand. So I assume there is no way to repartition or change the default to get more room for apps? Rooting won't assist with that? Seems that my only choice is to manually move what apps I can off of device memory onto USB storage?
Thank you!
Glen
I have not seen anyone repartition the memory so it would be like the Galaxy S3 and S4 (Device memory and USB memory combined as 1). So yes, your only option is to move what you can to the USB storage. It is a samsung fail to have the memory partitoned on the Note as they do.

Okay, thank you! I'm glad they've at least fixed this in newer models. I have an N7100 and N8000 and neither have the two partitions either. Just sad we can't fix it on the Note.
Thank you for your replies and explanations!
Glen
It would be awesome if a dev could somehow pull these together.
I actually put up a similar request several months ago, but didn't word it like this. I have several other devices, and they all use the space much better than Samsung does on this one. I have a Asus Transformer, that uses the entire internal space, as mentioned, and so does my Nexus. The silly 2 GB limit Samsung puts on these really wastes the capabilities of the device.
This is how to do it

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:
