[Q] Wont download apps from play store - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey i have a problem
My samsung galaxy s3 will not download apps from play store. It says that it failed and that there isn't enoguht space on my Micro SD-card. (I have alooooott of space on it). But it is not all apps it does it with. It is only apps which has more than 1.000.000 + downloades.

Have you tried clearing the playstore's cache and data? After that try downloading again.

Are you on 4.4.2 port?
If yes then all the apps that write to sd card will not install because of changes made by Google related to sd card.
Try yank kernel for 4.4.2..

I have already tried that, and it didn't work

Check your wifi or mobile data connection for problems. If the problem is still there try to factory reset your phone.

What about moving your existing apps to the micro SD card to free up space on your internal memory ?
What about signing out/in of the Playstore ?

Try going to /etc then open the "hosts" file. There will be several IP addresses, make sure they all have a hash tag (#) before them.

Go to applications select market and uninstall updates, you'll have old version of the market now you should be able to install applications
Market ll be updated automatically later.

[Q] HyDrOG3N-ICS - full internal memory

Hey folks,
got a little problem with the latest HyDrOG3N-ICS
When I go into the camera app, a toast says "Your SD card is full" ... well and this is simply not true
I read somewhere I should format the internal SD card ... whatever that means, but I can find it in CWM.
Is there anything I have to do before or after that ... besides making a backup somewhere else than on my internal memory ?
Hey I have the same problem I cannot take photos, does anyone have a fix? Sorry I'm a massive noob, tried to search but found nothing

Install ES FILE EXPLORER and explore all of the folders in external and internal sd card, you will get to know how much space is being consumed. If its just a camera problem, switch to "ICS Camera+" app and then try.,

Do you have clockworkmod installed? If yes, wipe data using it or do a factory reset.
It'll wipe all phone data . Backup your important data and wipe your data partition. It should work.

I tried clean master, and moved es file explorer, after that I checked my sd card. There was no es filemanager apk or its data. I checked in internal memory it's still there
I don't know what it does. But in android 4.2 you can't move apps to sd

Did you deleted clean master. Before uninstalling you need to restore apps otherwise it won't work.

if you have not deleted clean master try restoring the apps back to phone storage

You Can't move all apps to sd card. It is restricted by app developer
But You can move it using Link2SD App which allows those apps to be moved to SD card..
*Your device should be rooted to use Link2SD App
Download Link2SD from Play Store

[Q] Move to SD option in App Manager

I have a D618 (4GB internal), and I noticed that there is a "Move to SD" option in the app manager, I tried it, but the app data is still in the internal memory.
And I heard that Kitkat devices have write issues with the SD card, and there is an app for fixing that, but I haven't tried it since my phone is not yet rooted.
Anyone here who has a rooted phone want to try?
Thanks
Move to SD only moves part of the apk file not app data.
It's not affected by the kitkat write issue.
My idea
Use GL to SD. For this you MUST HAVE ROOT. I root my G2 Mini just for it.

If you create a ext4 partition on your sdcard, there's multiple guides online for this. Then root your device and download link2sd, your able to move all apps, cache from apps and etc to the sdcard

Spoiler Alert!

Once my phone gets back from service, I will try to make a script which will mount /data/app/ and /data/dalvik-cache/ to a second partition on the SD.
