Insufficient storage help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone I'm getting the insufficient storage error when I try to download things from the Google Play store on one of my phones and every solution I have found will not fix it. My preferred install location is external SD, storage location is external SD, when I check in the ADB connecting my phone to the comp is says my storage is set to external. I have tried clearing the cache didn't work either. My internal memory only has about 100mb free but my external has 30gb free, I made sure all apps that could be moved where on the external SD card too. Weird thing is it only happens on the Google Play store, it does not happen on the Amazon store at all, even like 500mb apps download and install on exernal SD just fine. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

[Q] Flashed UnNamed 1.1.0, SD Card Total Space Unavailable?

Just flashed UnNamed 1.1.0 with CWM and everything seems to be working fine except I'm not seeing my 32GB SD Card. Some apps that were installed to it are grayed out and when I go to storage it says
SD Card
Total Space
Unavailable
Available Space
Unavailable
USB Storage
Total Space
Unavailable
Available Space
Unavailable
When Market place tries to download apps it fails saying not enough space available. I am however able to view the contents of the sd card through my computer.
**Found the Problem** When I disconnected the USB to my computer the space showed up correctly.
New problem - Some applications show up as not installed in Market place but when I go to them it only lets me open them. Is there a way to sync those apps up with what's really installed?

clear market data in settings, or a reboot will sometimes get the apps to show back up in the market.
Fixed. Thanks

Nabi2 External 2 Internal SD card help please

Hi
Our Nabi2 is rooted.
I have used the rootexternal2internal sd card app from google-play store to swap the internal and external sd cards.
It has been seeming to work a treat, internal sd card goes from 4gb to 28Gb when you view the settings in daddy-mode (does this even if you dont do the reboot way of doing things).
However, as time has gone on, I now seem to have run out of space on the nabi, when I look at it, the "real" internal sd card is actually now full, with the real external sd card has about same used space on it but loads of empty space too. The real-external is seen by the nabi2 as "internal" but for some reason it must be installing apps from the google store onto the actual internal instead.
Is this an issue anyone else has found? Any suggestions for what Im doing wrong or any workarounds please?
Would really appreciate any help or thoughts.
Thank you for your time.
Alex
I've Uninstalled the app and re downloaded.
The 28gb card still seems to swap ok when you look in system settings but if I install a new app, it's the space on the small card that goes down (this one being shown as external but is actually the internal)
So the settings seems to show like the swap has gone ok but the installation of apps is still going to internal.
Any ideas at all please??
Thanks
Please has anyone any ideas on this?
Although the root2externalsd app looks like it works, apps are still going onto the inside limited-space sd.
Please any advice appreciated
Alex

M8 Installing Apps to Both Internal and External Storage

Hi everyone,
I'm running stock Sense 6.0 (4.4.2).
Whenever I download an app from the Play Store, it downloads it twice, both in storage/emulated/0/android and in storage/ext_sd/android. I want to keep my external sd card for music, so I don't want apps taking up space on it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the updates to the Play Store, digging around in my settings, and deleting the /android directory from my external SD card, but nothing works. Does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks!
They aren't actually installing on your SD card. They are just creating a folder there should you choose to move their data to SD card in settings. Don't worry, the folders won't take up any space.

Cant download Mortal Kombat X .Any Suggestions?

Ok So here goes the Problem :
Since I got about 500 MB of internal storage on Phone memory free. I tried to download the game on SD card . I used link2sd to set the preference to external SD card. The ext2 partition on my SD card has about 2.7 GB free space.
Even then when I try to download it , it says : error insufficient space on external storage .
So I made space on internal storage and set the preference back to internal.
Even then I am getting the same error
I already tried using common methods like clearing cache ,uninstalling upadtes to play store etc.
I use cm 12.1 lollipop 5.1.1.
Any suggestion would be help ful .
Thanks in advance.

the game says
"** A minimum of 1.5 GB of free space is required on your device."
Also the download cache will be on internal as far as I know, so its better to have 1.5GB internal space free.
Else download the data from mirror sites as its not any paid game!
Can you point me to some nice mirror sites bro? Coz I Dont know them.
Thanks .
