yea try those ideas first and see what happens, it might have something to do with amazon's servers if those two solutions don't work.
fyi i just downloaded today's free app and i had no problems, was a bit slow though but still works.
You might also try removing and reinserting your SD card.
Nice I took out the card and put it back in now the downloads are moving. How'd you know that lol and why does it do that? Thanks!

I've just noticed from time to time that the NT seems to stop recognizing the SD card. It has only happened to me a couple of times in the month or so I've had it, so I'm not too concerned about it, but since the Amazon market requires an SD card, that made me suspicious.
rebooting would fix the issue as well i have had the amazon video player say" you cannot play videos" reboot fixes the problem.
I did a reboot and it did nothing for me till i did the sd thing
Have you unplugged the NT from your computer without unmounting it? I have in the past had issues with that causing corruption of the sd card. You might need to reformat the card and start over.

Will the sun come up tomorrow? Who knows.
Every since root, my NT has intermittent brain lag when recognizing the SD card. Maybe once every 3 reboots. It's a very minor annoyance that's easily rectified with a SD card remount.
I posted this issue on Android Central as well, but not as much chatter over there. Here is my issue:
I had this problem with my Samsung GSII as well and thought it may just be a fluke, but now I am having the same issue with my new Note.
Due to lack of free application storage, I move (VIA the App manager) most of my larger games on to the Micro SD card. Which looks like it works fine, however, after a while, not so much.
The Note (and all Samsungs) go through the scans when you boot up the phone on the internal storage and the memory card... Upon completion of this scan, the phone just keeps resetting. Once I pull the memory card out, I am good to go, but all my games were on the memory card.
I am using a PNY Class 10 card and am thinking maybe it is corrupt? Or maybe I am really not supposed to load everything on to the card like that?
Thoughts? Anyone else run in to this?
Thanks!
you do realize that most apps including large games take less than 50mb of space. and we have a 2GB storage partition you can store hundreds of apps with no problem. TBH i wouldnt bother with moving them until you do actually run out of app space.
As much as I hate to admit my app problem... I have long ago surpassed the 2G app storage..
After years of purchasing apps and many very good free apps of the day from Amazon, 2GB no longer cuts it for me.
Thanks.
wow really well the issue is that the phone itself uses the internal memory as the default storage location. There are some hacks but i wouldn't recommend using them on this phone as they are untested. Do you honestly use all those applications? I have tons of apps that I really dont use anymore that were from the donut days of android.
Your response sounds like some of the responses I get from our developers... "Well, tell them not to use it and it wont break!".
I say that in good fun. No, I dont use them all, but whenever I get a new device, I like to load it up with my stuff to test it out.
I could definitely remove or just not install about half of them, but again, that doesnt fix the problem. It simply avoids the problem.
Thanks again for your response.

I have the same problem & no solution. I ended up restoring the Note on day 3 of ownership due to the constant resetting. Is there a way to make the internal 16GB the default install location?

Honestly, I have about 8 gigs of apps installed, all moved to external SD card - a 64GB Sandisk Class 6. No reboots and no issues at all. Always move everything I can to external SD. Not sure why, just some mental preference in me likes to keep the phone itself as free as possible. Never had a restart or a crash because of it. Always used App2SD Pro app or Force to SD if rooted andnits been flawless - same experience on the SGS2 as well. Sounds like a corrupt card to me, honestly. Were you using he same card when you had issues in your previous Samsung devices?

So i searched for the answer for this problem and have found no threads on it.
The problem is that my STOCK amaze 4G keeps telling me that I have "insufficient storage available" when I am trying to install updates. The updates that I'm having trouble with are HTC WATCH, Facebook, Google Maps, and a few others. These are the main ones though. I noticed that it started doing this after Google decided to switch from MARKET to PLAY STORE.
Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to fix this. I have over 250MB of RAM left on my phone, 14GB available on my SD Card, and 7.65GB of available phone storage, and 203MB available of Internal Storage.
Thanks!
try moving some of your apps to the sd card and try again. sounds like your internal memory is too low

Agreed, this is likely the issue. I finally ran across this myself, moved a bunch of big apps to sd and then had enough room.
I've literally moved everything I can to my SD card :/
I think I might just have to do a factory reset...
I had that exact issue, only went away when I rooted. Factory reset 2x; nothing.

I truly think Energy ROM is the best out of the ones I tried. It's the most stable and all features work solidly. The battery virtually doesn't change when the phone is locked and not in use, and its the only ROM that lasts me all day.
Bulletproof 2.5 is pretty stable, but its hosted at a different site. You will have to Google it. There are only a couple handfuls of ROMs for this phone, so if you have the time, it would be best to try them all. But as of right now, NRGZ28 (Energy ROM) and XBoarder56 (Bulletproof 2.5) are the main 2 developers for this phone, but we have quite a few others attempting to make the leap

Thanks for the help. I've been a huge fan of NRGZ28's work for a while now, used his ROMS on my HD2. I'll definitely give these a try!

Your problem is the phone uses the internal memory as the sd card. The real sd card is actually listed as ext_sd and the phone does not use it as it should. Its strange and no one seems to be talking about it.
do you know how to fix that?

If you use the phone without the ext SD, I think that forces it to use the internal

I've used it with my 16GB external SD since the day I got it. Still couldn't figure out why it wouldnt let me update anything.
Today i restarted my phone and noticed that it uninstalled about 15 apps out of nowhere! Decided to just do a Factory Reset, all is good so far.
205mb of internal memory thats your problem thats out of 10gigs total its full. Like i said the phone uses that internal memory 10gigs as the sd card that what its labeled as in any file manager. Go to. Sd card and open it you'll see ext_sd thats your real sd card. Dont know how to fix it seems like a programming error. The phone just dosent save anything to ext_sd so it sits unused at least for apps. I think it does store pics there.
Edit: my bad i think in your case the 7gigs free is your internal memory and the 205mb is the 2gig of phone memory either way its full.

Thats not correct it uses the internal memory for apps real sd card inserted or not at least unrooted. It calls that internal space sd card for some reason i cant understand. A real. Sd card is in the sd card folder called ext_sd check it out.
same device, same freaking problem
tons of memory (48gb). Always got bogged by "insufficient storage available" and apps bizarrely disappear and reappear, and sometimes disappeared forever (need to redownload every single time).
Have tried your advice to move apps to SD but problem didn't go off. You don't need to root it. This solves it.
http://www.ganshani.com/2012/01/11/fix-insufficient-storage-available-on-android/
I had this problem this morning and tried all sorts of things
-Deleting the temp cache of used programs
-Uninstalling programs
-Moving programs to sd card.
Nothing worked.
What DID work was deleting a bunch of mms/sms messages. As soon as I did that and rebooted problem solved (for me at least).
Amaze 4G low memory
HTC posted an application on the market for this. Search for Amaze memory clear
Sometimes when you have a fresh install and if it does not allow you to install apps (insufficient storage available) even after a factory reset, this command should fix it (if you have s-off or unlocked bootloader)
Mind you, this command wipes all userdata and cache.
fastboot -w
This has fixed the insufficient storage available for me
Hey folks. Having a real issue with this. My s3 keeps freezing at random intervals for anywhere up to 25-30 mins. Getting really annoying now and I hope someone can help me stop it from happening. Recently rooted and flashed sentinel rom on but thought was that so flashed official touchwiz back on but still happening!
Thanks
Paul
Go and search in the general forum for the freezing thread. There are a couple of things to try before applying for a warranty repair.

This is most likely sectors in eMMC going bad. My advice would be to have at least 4GB free on internal SD at all times. Backup weekly to external SD. Avoid writing to internal SD as much as possible. (also be 100% certain that you have multiple EFS backups). If you are using a dual-boot kernel - try to do most of your extensive work in a ROM that you install as second (and keep 1st as emergency backup).

Thanks for the advice. Is there a fix for this? My internal storage is already below 4gb and nearly everything writes to the sd card (32gb).

I doubt - that aging is "normal" with any flash memory (but much less likely with high-end SLC vs low-cost MLC; I am also EXTREMELY curious if the same problems are seen on the 32GB or 64GB versions of the phone - but that could just apparent be since on those you will always have huge amounts of free flash). It was extra-bad with the buggy SDS firmware in the eMMC, but once you do have enough free space the huge lag when multiple-sector relocation takes place becomes far, far less obvious. There are mentions of some tools to improve things but I doubt that anything can do miracles. If the phone is still under warranty from a serious vendor and it dies you will most likely get a replacement.

Not a refurb. I thought was a one year warranty. Will have to bring it in to them once I reset the binary count
UK SOGA warranty from the vendor usually one year. Samsung offer a 24 month limited warranty on top of that .

not joking. i am pretty sure it was preloaded. i went to the app store and it said installed, i chose not to restore backups from my google account. it didn't restore any other apps.
First thing I did was install all my personal apps, then debloated VZW junk.
One thing I always like to do with new phones is go through all of the preloaded ringtones and notification sounds. Some of them are so hilariously bad I'm actually tempted to use them.
First thing I did was enable ART in developer settings. I recommend you all do the same!
The first thing was root. By far the most important aspect for me.
Secondly, fought with my bloody MicroSD card. Had about 30GB of music, 20GB of ePSXe/PPSSPP games, a couple of thousand pictures (including recent ultrasound shots of my unborn child), and a full Titanium Backup folder from my S4. Removed said card from S4, even went so far as to unmount it from the storage menu. Popped it into my G3 and got the dreaded "Blank SD card" message. Tried slotting it into the S4 again. Same thing. Went back between the two devices and the card reader on my laptop for about fifteen minutes before giving up. Delved into forums for another thirty, no real luck besides finding out that the S4 seems to have a lot of issues with SanDisk's 64GB MicroSDXC card for some reason.
After much lamenting...formatted the thing, ran another backup of Titanium, finally got what I needed over to the G3. Cussed for another thirty minutes or so, smoked a few cigs, then got back to it. Froze a long list of bloatware/services I won't use. Installed Xposed and the G3 TweaksBox.
And now, nothing. It's more or less ready for me to swing by Verizon tomorrow and have them transfer it over to my line and reactivate my mother's dumb phone. Because well...As much as I am liking the G3, I wasn't about to give up unlimited data for it. Here's hoping someone can unlock the bootloader or find a loki workaround for the device!

Truthfully, not a whole let yet. This was my first chance to try ART as I'd heard from other device threads that it can improve overall performance and bring a slight boost to battery life. I definitely did notice there was little to no lag in certain apps compared to when I was running dalvik. Although, my G3 has shut off on it's own multiple times today and I only received it this morning so I'm more concerned about getting it stable

Don't jump the gun. Many people reporting bluetooth audio stuttering with screen off, wake locks, and random restarts with ART enabled.
i hope they make xposed compatible with ART soon

I should have held off. I did two factory resets followed by enabling ART each time and it froze on deep sleep each time. A 3rd factory reset and switching backed to Dalvik fixed my issues.

This. I rooted, titanium backup, removed bloat, installed my stuff, and swapped to ART. Just this morning I had 3 full freezes in a deep sleep that required battery pulls.
I just swapped back to Dalvik. At least I can use xposed. I have not done a factory reset. Going to hold off on that until it happens again.
I recommend others to not jump the gun as well. No, I only installed about 7 apps that are all stable. Avoiding anything truly custom for another week to make sure all is well with the device.
I hope this is emphasized enough by now. Please do NOT switch to ART on the Verizon G3. Many people had random freeze/power off problem with ART. Simply switch back to Dalvik fixed the problem.
The difference is night and day. On ART the phone stutters and gets really hot. I almost decided to return it before I realized all problem started after switching to ART. On Dalvik it's behaving more or less like a flagship is supposed to.
