When trying to install from the Google Play store on my Samsung Galaxy S3, I get "Error, insufficient storage available.
When i look at Settings/Storage, I have 6.08Gb available of the internal storage, and 12.78Gb of SD card storage available.

If youbrooted, install lucky patcher, it will remove unused odex automatically. You can install again your app after that.

Doh!
OK, figured out what it was.
I had been messing about , trying to get my S3 to install apps on the micro-SD card (known error, see: http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/113/Is_Google_blocking_apps_writing_to_SD_cards_/ ).
I had used these [1] instructions to set-install-location to "2". Alas, that did not make it possible to store apps on the micro-SD card :crying:, however, I forgot to change it back to "0" :silly:
I've changed it back to "pm set-install-location 0" and the BBC Olympics app now installs :good:

Ah, thanks for the tip,- not quite what I had but it put me on the track. I have ROM Toolbox Pro and had tried making the default App install location on the Ext SD - unclicked and now updates work.

I've found the new market does this pretty often.
I just download again and it usually works fine for me.
Goodluck!

I used to have this same EXACT problem, and here are your solutions:
1. Clear market cache, then see
2. If that doesn't work, Odin to JFD with repartition checked, then reflash the ROM.
3. If the above didn't work, then you have to reformat both then internal and external SD cards, and don't forget to backup the things on the SD cards. I would Odin to JFD if I were you before you reformat just incase.
And that's that. The third step is what helped me, odining to JFD with repartition checked should ttoo.
Good luck

SOLVED! I think? Seemed to only ran into problems updating a few apps that I had restored through titanium. I Went to my apps tab in market noticed the apps that I was having problems with were in the not installed list. I Uninstalled from apps phone and downloaded from market and reinstalled. No more problems. May have been able to use Titanium's market link fix but I dont have paid version. Thanks for you input guys!

I have Titanium Pro and still had this issue with GOSMS. I had to uninstall it and reinstall, maybe its just a glitch with some apps.
Hope this helps others, just uninstall the app that is giving you the insufficient space message.
Strange I ran into this problem yesterday too!!!!
I just flashed MIUI, and was installing downloading apps from market place and it says insufficient storage. I have plenty of storage!!!
Possible solution, I was downloading and installing several apps the same time. Try downloading/installing one at a time, this seemed to work for me.

Be careful using the market doctor on tb with the new market. It made my market fc continually after that, and I just read another thread where it gave someone else problems also.

Hello, my update of Titanium Backup * root, so I have this message (title) that appears. Yet I still have huge room. I uninstalled the application, but can not be restored, the other works well. For example Instagram which weighs 12.77 MB installs without worries ...
I clear the cache of all applications ...
Safe Mode, it gives me the same thing.
In recovery, wipe a cache does not solve anything either ...
Relocation of the ROM without wipe, and always the same ...

I just fixed mine too. I used a logcat, I saw what was causing problem in the app installation and where this file was. It was in the root/data/app/ I browsed there using a rooted explorer and then I deleted the file. More specific I was trying to install hdwidgets (cloudtv.hdwidget is the package name) but during the installation (and not the downloading) I read in the logcat that a file named cloudtv.hdwidgets-1.apk could not be renamed or something like that and it was placed in the root/data/app dir.
Hope it helps...

Thanks you very much for the tip ! You saved me lots of time ! Had this issue with "insufficient storage available" even if I have more than 1Go available ! Looked in data/app and found that the .odex file wasn't deleted when I uninstalled the app, so manually deleted the file and was able to download from market !
To be honest I noticed that if you use a cracked app (for testing for more than 15mn market limit which is really too short) and you de-install it to buy the legit one then the issue appear and you can't download from the market after paying, so now you know what to do !
thanks again.
Lucky Patcher (a cracker app, which causes this) also has a fix for this.
Recently did a factory reset, then rooted and unlocked.
Since then I'm getting errors downloading apps. This seems to occur only over the wireless connection, not over Wifi. I have verified that I can access the SD-card and external SD-card. have plenty of available storage space (per Settings/Storage): 2.58 GB app, 8.43 GB internal, 29.06GB SD card. Also have a good data connection per browser/weather app use!
These are the two errors I am seeing when trying to download apps from Google Play:
"App xyz" could not be downloaded due to an error. (923)
Error downloading "App xyz". There is insufficient space on the device.
Searched to find a fix, but couldn't find a good answer. Can anyone help me?
I would flash Th3bill's full wipe @ http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/th3bill/809-2/ then flash your rom.
if that doesn't work, you'll have to go back to stock sbf and see if that fixed it. if OK, root... if OK, unlock. an incremental way to isolate the issue.

Dont do a full wipe just yet... Just go to settings, manage apps, click on play store, click clear data, then reboot. This will probably fix it.

1. under settings/apps go to google store.
2. cache and data reset.
3. update deinstall, and akzept reset to google store basic version !
4. delete googlemail account under accounts&syncronisation.
5. go to google store app, insert googlemail account new.
google store meanwhile has updated to newest version and will keep runing fine again now ! :good:
This can sometimes happen after a fresh install and gapps tries to throw every update it has logged for you at the phone. just retry after installing what sticks. usually sorts it. many phones have this issue

This helped me after using CF- Autoroot by Chainfire, on my nexus 5. Thanks man!
Possible solution
I've ran into error 923 in Google Play.
None of the above worked, and I finally managed to fix it by deleting /data/core/zcore*.zip files (2.5GB in total).
By the looks of permissions on those files, some files could be deleted without root, but not all of them.
this video fixed the problem for me.. while it's "kind of a long video" for the 2 easy steps.. it's just the 2 steps.. 'clear cache' (not sure that helped, really?)
but the 2nd step did help.. I rolled back google play to a 'older'-orginal version.. and that fixed it
I can no longer download anything from the play store. It says insufficient space. I have plenty and can download from amazon. If I go into to settings there isn't any app settings. I don't know what to do...I feel so dumb with this Nook, its nothing like my Evo which I can root and mod blind folded.

try clearing the data and cache from the play store app. under manage apps look for google play store and clear data and cache. go into play store and see if anything changes.
if not you probably need to wipe your caches through cwm recovery.
insufficient space...
If anyone has had this issue recently, this is what worked for me:
in ES File Explorer:
navigate to /data/dalvik-cache/
long-press to get the menu
select "select all"
at the top, hit the "delete" button.
navigate to /cache/
long-press to get the menu
select "select all"
touch the folders to deselect them
at the top, hit the "delete" button.
I had thought in /cache/ there was a folder called either cache or dalvik-cache which I also emptied, but right now it is not showing.
**you will get app force closes**
power off the Nook, then power it back up and retry downloading apps.
This worked fine for me with no consequences. Previously I tried deleting the play store cache and data every way I could find to do so, including with Titanium Backup and several reboots, SD card removals.

Help Me please!!!
Hi I have a NOOK TABLET 8GB and since the software upgrade to 1.4.3. stopped working the Android Market and I could not download any application. What should I do to enable it again?
If you upgraded a rooted tablet then you lost root (along with any gapps you had installed, like the Market). You'll have to re-root and reinstall the Market.

Go into Data/data and find the folder/file referring to that app (theme) and delete it. Also go to Data/app-lib and do the same (if it is there). Chances are it is probably only in one location but check both. Usually what this will look like is a bunch of folders in there and the one you are having problems with will look like a file instead – regardless delete the folder/file for that app and then go to google play and it will install.

Don't know, maybe because you use link2sd, so you probably fked up your sd card, try with a new sd.
