Guys, i have a strange problem.
when updating some apps (like Flipboard} i get the error "storage capacity insufficient"
wth? I got 11Gb free on my phone! I am on stockrom, any idea?
Aye, I have the same problem, matey!
I'm on stock ICS XXLG8 (BTU- Bio Thermal Unit XD). Caaaaaaan anyone help us? I've cleared Google Play Store's data. Didn't work. I wiped cache. Didn't work. I don't know what else to do!
Root/System/App and delete the relevant .odex file
If we're not rooted, we can't access root. It's completely stock ICS.

Are you using Lucky Patcher?
if the aswer is yes, just go to the app>menu>Troubleshooting>Remove fixes and backups
Let me now if that help you
I'm not rooted. I'm not using Lucky Patcher. I have the same problem. (>_>)

Pfff no idea. More apps reporting this error.

Today i wanted to install a new app (avast) from Google play but instant getting this error
Just a thought, may try clear data of PlayStore and perhaps also uninstall update of PlayStore if any.
well, actually i did that already.
its only possible to un-install the update of playstore because its a "system-app"
this thing really bothers me, i am coming from an rooted HD2 that i flashed constantly with a new rom. Finally i was tired from it because of the storage capacity. I bought myself a phone with an 16GB storage and i get the same error except i have 11GB free in storage, grrrr
thanks for your suggestions :good:
Today i called samsung support.
The girl i spoked to suggested that i transferd my photo's to SD-card because the apps problably needed the 11.3GB storage to update....
i just hung up the phone..
the only thing that i know causing that error is bcoz of lucky patcher but in your case. i think its better to do factory reset? it wont damage your android..dont worry.. try it. and may i know if u using any custom rom? or kernel? app that u install
With 11GB to play with I'd think it isn't InternalSD space needed. I'd guess the msg is really telling you the 1GB is too full. Which might be why Factory Reset works - clears out the extra SW loading into RAM. I'd look on Play for a utility to manage/clear memory and see if that changes things. If so, take a close look at what you're loading and make sure you really need it.

I had a look around Play - I'd stay away from RAM Manager, it wants you to DL other stuff (including a Casino app) when you start it. I looked for ones with a Pro version; the Dev has to impress you with the free one to get you to upgrade so (IMO) you get a good deal on the free one. Smart RAM Booster looks good but I like the list of features in Memory Booster - RAM Optimiser.
Can't hurt to give one of them a try and see if it helps things. Others here may know of more S3-specific tools. Mind you, Smart RAM Boster (& Pro) are also on Samsung Apps so that might be the way to go, initially at least.
EDIT: Hm... Memory Booster is also on Samsung Apps - in both cases, Samsung has a 15c premium on the Pro versions - looks like it costs exgtra to use Samsung Store for apps. Hadn't realised that before this...
One rule with Gingerbread and up: dont use memory "optimizers". Ever!
As already said in second or third post of the thread: it most likely is a leftover odex file. Remove it (afaik formatting cache+dalvik cache solves it too) and everything works fine again

Have seen this on my previous Xperia S a reboot solved the issue and everything is back looks like a bug
Its to do with the internal mem, if you install to the phone mem the apps wont vanish , if you install the the " SD " some apps vanish . When you restart the system the internal mem fires up last on boot up , hence the phone seams to already allocate its mem to phone.
I hope this is fixed asap , as it bugging me !!
As to what apps get deleted, it seams random . I have 87 apps now on my phone , and don't want to start putting them all in the phone mem!

I have this problem as well i thought it wasn't just me. Sometimes my xperia s crashes randomly when im in an app(wtf) then when i reset the phone an app might be gone. It seems everytime you restart the phone you might lose an app. So try and dont restart till they come out with a fix...
Never had this issue,Maybe a factory reset ot format the sd can solve this problem.
I have this issue constantly with eBay, PayPal, Quickoffice and insider. I now leave these apps on the phone memory. Bloody pain in the arse.

That would explain why I've not seen it then.. Having such a big memory I haven't bothered moving anything off to 'sd' yet.

Never seen this type of behaviour on my XS, however what I did have on my older Android phones was that after a reboot you can see the app icon, but on clicking it it says "App isn't installed". This is purely for "SD" apps and after a few seconds (depending on the speed of your phone) you should be able to open them, but never had them completely disappearing.

Hi all not had my S3 long , but have rooted it and put a handful of apps on it.
I had a beta version of TVcatchup running fine, but then it stopped...saying 'application out of date. I then learned that TVCatchup have gone official on Android market. So I uninstalled and then attempted to do a fresh install of the new version via market...only to my promted with 'insufficient memory' messages.
When I look at my S3, typically it shows its got 110MB of rom, then when I run Adv-task-killer I can boost it to 280MB ( lord knows were the other 700MB rom has gone to :-0 )
Can someone please take a look at UKTV app TVcatchup and attempt to install. Please advise whether 110<>280MB is normal.
thx
Go into the root folder where app data is. Make sure that there's not a left over file of the old TVCatchup.
Sometimes beta apps like this mess up and you have to delete what ever is left over.

Similarly I'm now not able to connect my device to my PC and access it. The Kies app won't connect and win7 reports 'missing ID' when plugged into USB.

Would happily thank you but already spotted these posts and they got me nowhere, hence why I posted.
The only thing which could have more mileage is that I have installed lucky patcher and I recall I did try to remove ads for TVcatchup. So maybe something has been left in...
Would uninstalling lucky patcher help?
I had this except problem. i uniinstalled it and installed it via the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/...esult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5nemVyby50diJd
thanks now due....
dunno how or why , but after about four attempts off cache clearing and rebooting it suddenly started working.
thouogh still no luck with connecting to kies via usb. I guess thats a frsh battle
Hi all!
I have a strange thing happening with my father's phone... (s2 not rooted)
When I try to install Skype I get a message that I can't "uninstall" the program and that I have to free more memory. Hmm...
He had Skype installed before but uninstalled it awhile ago but is now in need of it again.
I don't have a clue what to do...never seen that error before!

Hi!
Thanks for your answer as well!
Yes a dialog appears with the options "manage apps and cancel". But the strange thing is that memory wise there's no problem and even more strange...it doesn't refer to that I want to install it but rather that I can't uninstall it even though it's not installed???
I will post a screen shot later this weekend, I hope that u guys still will look at my post and maybe can give me some feedback then!
/zwooosh
PS. I hope to not have to factory reset the phone...It wound suck for only the problem with skype! If I do a reset it will erase all data (including all apps) right? I hope to avoid that too.
I forgot to say that I can install all other kinds of apps from the store...hmm!?
Yeah, don't factory reset it just for skype. See if any skype leftovers are found in you device, check folders and whatnot.
Waiting for that screen shot tho.

Hey, my device internal storage got like free 1-2gb space, sometimes it accidently (no special time) tells me that i got full storage and i can't even recieve any messege. free space is like 16kb. If i leave it like this it will be fixed alone after sometime like 10 minutes for example. I couldn't find any reason why is this happening. I attached my system info and screen shots for my most strange apps. i also uploaded this short video to youtube to show you guys the problem (ignore clean master in the video because i deleted it, when i got that app installed i think the problem happens more!)

You will find no help here with lucky patcher installed. This app is banned and any that, use it are tossed to the wolves so to speak.
What is most likely happening is the caches from other apps are eating up your space until they get cleared. With this low budget device I would keep apps and files to a bare minimum.

Thanks sir, i didn't know that xda bans lucky patcher i just deleted it now, i Don't use it anymore i used it long time ago for some games i tried then deleted (am in middle east and paypal is banned so i can't pay online so used it few times. got no other sollution)
is there any way to know which app is causing this? i don't think an app can creates +1gb cache in a minute except if it wants to do that (like a virus) so do you have any idea for me sir?

Any app that bypasses paying for an app is banned here. Developers don't take to thieves very well. Good. That app can give you all kinds of junk that messes up devices.
You could enable adb on the device and run a logcat. This will take some time to catch the issue.
Or you could do a factory reset and see if it still does it. This way you will know if it is a system app.

My 2 cents here, if it helps.
1. Since you have root access, try and and use a good (system) app uninstaller and completely uninstall any apps you do not use. (my guess is you already did that?)
2. Reboot (must step after finishing uninstalling for better follow-up, clean-up process)
3. Try and use SD Maid. On first use, grant it superuser access, go to options and customize folders, give permissions to clean system folders and apps. You might be surprised to see as much as half a GB available for cleaning/ deletion. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.sdm&hl=en
Let me know how it went, if you haven't already tried the posted suggestion.
So for no reason i cant play video files on my android note 8. All it says is "you may not have the proper app to view". In gallery and in every other app all the videos open up apart from the app i use the most, whatsapp. I disabled dual messenger, deleted whatsapp, reinstalled whatsapp, cleared cache, clear cache from recovery but whatever i do it says it cant play the video as i dont have the approriate app even tho i have most of the latest video players installed.
Dammit my iphone was expensive, not as nice looking, and not as much memory but that phone rarely gave me any probs and did everything out of the box with ease!! If it wasnt for the dual sim i probably wouldnt eva touch one again.
Iv tried assigning defualt player to videos but the problem is only in whatsapp and havnt found a way of assigining individual files from whatsapp to open up in a specific player. iv had too many problems with android, not the fone itself but these problems are all self arising out of the blue, anyone know how to sort this as i use the whatsapp for wrk. Thanks.

This a suspect post unless you tinkered with it... It shouldn't be doing that especially since you didn't even try rooting it and it's on stock untouched firmware have you tried a factory restore

Hi, i did root it with magisk but that was ages ago and everything was functional, it really did arise out of nowhere. Theres no tinkering involved aside from rooting and the root wasnt very helpful as nowadays alot of apps are rootless. I stll am trying to figure out what to do to get whatsapp to aknowlegddge the videos. yea its on stock no custom rom aside from root everything else is stock. All i need is somehow to edit a configuration file which i think tells whatsapp to direct it to one of the installed apps.

Apparently switching the dual messenger feature on brings about this problem, the stock dual messenger app. Ive deleted it but prob remains.
