[Q] No space left on device - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When trying to update Titanium Backup through Play Store it fails telling me that theres no more space left. However 9 GB of internal and 3 GB of external SD card are still free. Other applications (even bigger ones) install fine. I cleared Dalvik cache but without success.
What causes this error and how to solve it?

Is your device GS3? 9GB of internal?
Is it important how did i send this?

Try to remove current TB & then install the newer version
Is it important how did i send this?

I uninstalled TB and now I can't install it again with the same error.
I still have 9 GB free on phone and 3 GB on microSD.

I had the same kinda problem, I had 6 gig of internal storage left and it was gone. It was a room back up that took all the 6 gig. Don't know why tho....

I experience the same. Hmm.

i had this problem yesterday when updated my firmware, most of my apps had to be reinstall. there is one app, UCCW, i had to reinstall through google play and it keeps telling me i have insufficient memory.
To fix this i had to uninstall, use root explorer find the folder of the app and deleted it if it still there and reinstall. viola it works.

I think i have posted a fix a lot of times for the same problem..see if this works for you.. open root explorer..it works only if you are rooted.. open data.. then open apps.. then try to find if there is any odex file related to titanium backup. It mite be named titanium keramidas.odex or something like that.. delete it.. then install titanium again..

Using Root Explorer, go to /data/app and delete the file named Titanium.odex
Now everything should work normally..

Had same problem and did pretty much same as chillz said above, I store backups on pc so I just moved mine from phone to pc.

I got this problem when I used lucky patcher to patch the previous Titanium backup app and uninstalled it but xxx.odex still file left(may be name "com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex" . Use Root explorer then go to /data/app and find that file then delete it,I think you should install Titanium Backup again.

Help, deleted market (rooted 2.1)

hey guys,
i have the rooted 2.1. i picked up a root file manager and was copying my apps from the phone to the sd card. i did a couple and installed them just to see that it worked. seen that it did work so i started copying a bunch of them from the app file to the sd card and apparently i copied the file manager that i was using. as soon as it happened the file manager disappered. no problem i thought i'll just go to the market and re-load the app and get back to business... didnt happen that way.. my market app is missing!
i'm not sure what to do to get this fixed..
any help would be much appreciated.

As long as you did a 'nand backup' or a 'nand+ext3 backup' or 'BART backup', you should be able to restore yourself from that point in Recovery.
If you haven't, I'm sure someone can upload a market .apk for you. Are your .apk's alone or do they have matching .odex files?
you can always reflash the custom rom you started out with after Root. No biggie, you just have to set your stuff backup.
funny mistake though =-)

[Q] Installing apps through an apk, HELP!

Recently when I put APK's on my SD Card and try to install them I receive the 'Application not Installed' error. When this happens with market apps it's easy enough to unmount the SD and remount after the install. However if the APK is on the SD how can I do this?
Is there a fix for this? Also if it helps I'm running the Wildpuzzle ROM and the APK I'm trying to install at the moment is Angry Birds (getjar).
Have you try settings > application and check Unknown application.

Yeah, the application installer shows up, I just receive the error message a few seconds of the scrolling grey progress-style/working bar.
Do you have a USB Cable? Try using "DroidExplorer", an awesome PC client that can directly install apps. Or, try using a File Browser like Root Explorer or Super Manager.
Do you, by chance, have an App2SD Patch? Because I have always found them buggy!
Try to "undo" everything you did up to before it stopped working. Also try formatting your cache partition and/or erasing dalvik cache. Did you do any flashing without making a NANDROID backup first?
Also try "SuperOneClick", there is an option to "Enable Non-Market Apps" for rooted phones.
Second-last resort? Factory reset. Last resort...? Backup all your apps/settings and reflash

Thanks for this. I'm trying Droidexplorer, explorers on the device wont install the apk as it returns the same error.
How long should the installation take. It's been running 15 mins so far, the internal storage has decreased a little but the installing window (on pc) is still up?
I am assuming you have a rooted phone with unrEVOked3 right? Would you happen to have some kind of App2SD patch installed....? Because I always found them unstable.... what firmware are you using? I am loyal to Sunaabh v1.1 (Froyo) Custom Firmware as it is well supported
Hmmm I've encountered that installing loop before. But only when trying to install an APK that wouldn't normally work, such as an older version of the Market or Flash 10.1. It just means it's waiting for ADB server to do something but ADB has obviously crashed. It should not take more than 30 seconds for an APK to install via DroidExplorer. Just unplug your phone and close DroidExplorer.
Does this happen with all APK's? How many have you tried?
Only thing I can think of is that you did something to damage your package.xml data and/or permissions are corrupted.
Did you try formatting your cache partition in Clockworkmod? Please try this, it will not destroy any data. But it will trigger a long reboot - it will appear frozen at the bootup splash screen but just let it go while it rebuilds the cache.
Also try "Clear Data" under Applications > Manage > Market.
Have you flashed anything in clockworkmod? If you can provide more details of exactly what you've done to your phone that might help, but I really doubt it.... I think the only option is to restore from a Nandroid Backup or Reflash Sorry... but these things do happen and we always learn the hard way lol....
You can use the official HTC Sync software to backup your phone numbers and SMS and stuff I believe, and if you want to backup your installed apps you can use Titanium Backup or many other Backup apps on the Market, Free or Paid.
Make into a zip file and flash via recovery

Thanks for everyones help, I now have it sorted!
I started an installation through Droid explorer and then cancelled it when the apk was on the phone.
Then I unmounted my SD
Then I used root explorer to browse to the apk on the phones internal memory
It installed with no worries and I remounted the SD!

Haha, how very odd! Regardless, good to hear you got it sorted
EDIT: If it happens again, maybe you could try to format the SD card. Might be possessed with some bad stuff in the .android_secure folder or something.

[Q] Problem in titanium backup with my LWW

Hi,
I update my WT19i to ICS from GB yesterday, So i backup my apps with titanium backup pro. After successfully updated my phone to ICS and rooted, i restore apps batch by batch. I made preferences setting to install restored apps in external memory only.
After i update 50 apps, i find my internal memory going too low, now it remains only 16.5 MB, I can't identify where is the problem.
Is there any solution?
Use busybox from tb or system ?

Insufficient Storage Available

hi:
i use [ROM] UNOFFICIAL CM9 with working camera prev9
i know this h/b asked many times and i searched for an answer::
an app stopped working.. cleared cache from settings--no change..
reboot, cleared cache and delvik.. tried fix permissions also--no change..
uninstalled app / reinstalled app-- got error "Insufficient Storage Available"
looked for any ".com" references to the app--didnt see any
i have 219mb used and 1.3GB free internal storage ..
i also dont see setting to install to SD by default, just in case that would help..
i havent tried to install anything while on this latest prev9, i doubt thats the problem tho..
thanx for any help
You have to delete the .odex file related to that app usually in /system/app if not I'm pretty sure you can delete.odex files using Lucky Patcher

i uninstalled app, then looked for a related .odex file but found none
tahnx
Are you using something like root explorer? It may be in /data/app but I'm pretty sure the file manager had to be root enabled. You remember how sometimes in Windows you uninstall a program but the shortcut and folder are still there? You have to manually go in and delete those files yourself? That's giving you that insufficient storage issue. If all else fails, full wipe out wipe of system will put you clean again.

k, i did what you sugg'd:: did find a related odex and deleted it..
reinstalled from google play .. gave me the"unfortunately...has stopped" error..the same as my original prob that started my insufficient space error..
i guess im beat..
i ll probly have to wipe out and reinstall ..
i thought for sure a restore from nandroid wouldve helped tho..
thanx..

After you delete the .odex, just to be certain the app is restored to the pre-odex state, in Lucky Patcher > Long press troublesome app > Remove ODEX with Changes! (restore application).
Then, go into system/settings/applications/all applications/Google Play Store and hit 'clear data'. Reboot into Recovery > Wipe dalvik & cache (a tad redundant, I know), reboot into system.
If this fails, after clearing caches, try re-flashing Gapps.

I stumbled across an application that should rectify your issue:
Amaze Memory Clear
Give it a shot if you are still having that issue. Report back, too - I'm kinda curious, myself.
that extra step you took was really great of you.. i will try it..
EDIT::
i found an obscure workaround for my original prob.. install ol file manager.. dont have to change anything.. just have it installed..
it did fix the stopped working problem..
so i reverted to my nandroid prev9 backup , installed ol file manager on this backup and everything works as before..
i did installed your memory clear app and it found quite a bit of space after i cleared apps cache and recovery mode cache and delvik..
so altho i dont know if it wouldve fixed my original prob, i do know it frees up alot of space...
really , i would bet against it fixing that prob cuz i had alot of space .... i didnt have much installed..
thanx for the tip

[Q] extsdcard all files readonly after 4.1.2, please help

Hi,
I re-flashed my phone yesterday to the official 4.1.2 ROM (Spain), this was on Paranoid Android before, did a full wipe etc. All seems okay, rooted it, but the external SD card is read only, all files are marked as R, suspect this is also why titanium backup hangs restoring my apps. Never had any problems like this before and I can't find anything to fix this, it's driving me mad. Can anyone suggest a fix,
Thanks,
I managed to fix this with root explorer by re-mounting as r/w. titanium backup still hangs though
re-install TiBu.

not only TiBu hangs, Waze navigation cannot access SD card. no re-install helps, I've repartitioned SD, reformated, reflashed phone,
SD is not working the way it should
Hi, mines okay now following using root explorer. I installed and older version of TiBu from their website and it worked fine, this it was v 5.7 or something. Also I raised a support call and they suggested changing the app processing mode, haven't tried this as the older version worked so I'm going to stick with it.
Same problem here.
Apparently it is only in adb shell and only if I am not root. Apps and Terminal app can access without problems.
