General :: Insufficient Storage Available Error On Installing APK On Android (4.1.2)
Dec 25, 2013
I'm getting this error when I try to install or update almost every APK on my Android. SOME will install or update and I can tell you there's nothing to do with file size. The storages seem to have plenty of free space, apps install smoothly when I factory reset my phone, but after a few days I start getting this annoying error.
I'm running the latest Nightly build from CyanogemMod for LG p720h (Yea, it's not stable and I know I should expect some... erm... bugs). It's Android 4.1.2.
I know the Internal Storage is emulated and have tried many many many fixes I found in this very forum and all over the internet. I'm a game developer so I know a few things about adb shell/logcats but couldn't find/understand anything analizing those during an APK install. I can provide logs, etc.

I'm getting an "insufficient storage" error on installing apps from Google Play (even small 6mb apps). I find if i delete several apps and run it again it works (there is apparently 470MB free despite this).
I've seen references to changing settings so that Google Play installs to the SD card but cant figure out which apply here. And also to clearing the cache for applications (in the TWRP app perhaps?).
I've run the jmz script from the Nabi 2 root thread, but I think I'm missing a step or two (although apps do in fact install, which they wouldn't before).

I was trying to install Skype on my phone and got the error "insufficient storage available". I have traced the problem to the bug in Skype that doesn't delete com.skype.raider or something like that. The only way to get rid of this file is to root and delete it from /data/data which is only accessed by rooting. I don't want to root, but I need Skype. I have heard you can temporarily root your phone. Does phone automaticaly go back to stock after you restart?

I have an eMoto, with Android 4.1.1 Jellybean.
I can download any app under 10mb, but anything over 10mb such as Facebook, gives me this error. I have enough space on my SD card and internal memory. Considering I can download any app under 10mb just fine. I have tried tons of apps and games over 10mb and none work, ONLY ones under 10mb.
Is there a way to update android on my phone, which could possibly eliminate this issue? Because I didn't have this problem on 4.0.1 (Ice Cream Sandwich) on another phone.

My Android ICS phone has 42MB available (according to Settings->Storage). I am not able to install some new apps (e.g. O2 wifi, size 4MB) or update some existing apps (e.g. TouchPal X, size 19MB) though I have been able to install other small ones (e.g. Terminal Emulator, size 1MB and Cache Clear 5MB). I've tried using Cache Clear to clear the caches. I've tried 'pm set-install-location 2' to default the install location to external storage (currently it's 0 i.e. auto) but it's rejected it with the comment 'killed'. I've moved all the apps (that I'm allowed to move) to the sdcard. I'm not able to root the phone (ZTE V790) as I haven't found any instructions & software that works.

So i'm trying to redownload Poweramp music player, but it says "Insufficient storage available" I have a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0. It has 1.58gb of Avaliable memory left. and 712mb of system memory. I also have a 32gb microsd card. Poweramp is less than 5mbs, and im getting this insufficient storage popup. I downloaded some other apps to see if i did run out of storage, and i downloaded a few apps that were like 20mbs+ Also I uninstalled some apps.
What else should i try? I used the google play app, and website to try to install.

I have set the install location of my phone to external. Even though I am installing apps to ad directly, I can't install apps higher than the internal free space left.

Recently, I have been VERY frustrated with my phone as it is not possible to install ANY apps. I am using a Huawei Ascend G510, unrooted, running Android 4.1.1. I heard something about luckypatcher, but I do not have it nor could I find it on Google Play. Google Play keeps saying "Insufficient storage available". I have over 120 megabites of space for apps. I tried cleaning cache and data but it did not work. What's really weird is that I couldn't even install the app with an apk ! Is a facory reset needed (I hope not, as I can't even install a backup app...) ?

I encountered the message "Cannot start the app due to insufficient permissions" when open web link in facebook for android or friendcaster or some news apps. Before, I rooted my Xperia and do some mods with Small Apps and Toggles.

Today I went to install google earth to m phone. It would complete the download and kept telling me I dont have sufficient storage.I'm thinking there is no way I could have used 8 gigs of internal memory already, so I go to phone storage and see that I have 6.38 GB of internal storage left. So how is it that a 22mb download wont download?

I'm getting a little desperate about the popup I'm getting every day: insufficient storage available. After trying many things and cleaning up my droid, I've started uninstalling apps, but nothing solves it. I have:
1. Rooted my phone and moved almost all apps to my external SD card using link2sd;
2. Cleaned cache, checked out residual files and other data using ES file explorer and SD maid;
3. Uninstalled many apps but instead I'm getting the warning at 60MB left free whereas I used to only get it at 10MB, it seems that uninstalling apps only makes it worse...
Here's the screenshot of my storage space. Notice that my internal memory is only around 300MB used (now it's even less since I've uninstalled many apps) - so two thirds of it are supposed to be free as it shows...?

my samsung tablet doesn't have much memory for games and what not, but i recently tried to install some game that lookup 1.1gb of space, but it couldnt download due to insufficient storage, well it still downloaded as much as it could but i cannot delete what it downloaded, this isn't my tablet and it needs to be returned in 10 hours, I already 'Googled' my issue and tried to reboot/restart the device which didn't do anything, i went into Settings>Application Manager> and tried to delete said application, but it never appeared on the list, even when i did sort by size.I deleted the cache and tried everyting i could.

I am kinda tired of redoing things - I tried a few different setups between last night and today.

I know this was a common error experienced by a lot of people, but did anyone ever get to the bottom of it. I have just had it for the first time.
The EVO 4 had a similar problem and HTC moved quickly to release an update which seems to have solved it.
I had heard that the bug could be caused by the auto-backup feature, so I had never used it. However, I recently turned auto-back up on and, low and behold, I get the error. A reboot fixes the problem and I have not had it again since, although I have turned auto-update off.
Some people say auto-update messes up the permissions, others say the supplied cards are of a low quality and prone to corruption... but does anyone know for sure?
Whilst the error is present, you cannot modify the contents of the card and cannot therefore take pictures etc.

I have made a game with just one activity.. I just replace the views when I want to change screen. The game runs fine for a really long time inspite of what ever I do within the game.
But once I close the main game, by calling finish on the only activity in the application, and then when I start again, within the next 30 secs it crashes telling VM budget exceeded..
When I don't have a dispose() or a delete method in JAVA.. how the, am I supposed to remove the objects used in memory.. moreover I have android:launchMode="singleInstance" in my manifest

I'm new to this whole ROM thing. So I installed this Omega Rom and now in settings it says my storage is significantly down. My Galaxy S4 is 16GB, which had about 6GB free storage, now since I installed the ROM, It says I have 8.94GB total space, and only 2GB free space. How can I get it all back?

I know that our android phone has a specified amount of internal storage.part of it is for storing apk, datas etc.another part is for rom image and all all those stuff.what i want to know is when i am installing a new rom,is it actually overwriting the existing rom.or is it installed alongside it.cause my phone is getting slower each time i install a new custom rom in my htc hero.it has 600 mhz processor.but even angry birds lag in my phone but it works smooth on my nokia 5233 xpress music touch phone.both these games are are of similar size and have same graphics quality.

My Karbonn A30 has bricked. I did so many experiment on my phone and also stucked several time with some problem but i did solved that problems.
NOTE: My phone was rooted by using "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18" process.
Two days back i flashed TITAN MOBILE ROM in my Karbonn A30 but that was unsuccessful,After that my phone was not able to boot and also it was not able to boot in recovery mode using Volume up + Power key. Then with some R&D i get a new option using Volume Down + Power key that option is for my mobile hardware test. In that option i formatted my "emmc" then after my phone was able boot in CWMR recovery mode.Then i wiped my all data and system using CWM Recovery,Also did Restore factory.
After that i was regularly getting error message on my phone notification " Phone storage corrupted,Format it" Then i formatted that. Then i installed my all apps from by apps_backup. When i rebooted my phone,again i was getting same error message and didn't any option except format it.
Then i decide to check this error after unrooting my phone. So i remove root access. After that i was not getting this error.
Yesterday again i rooted it with same process and again i was getting same error message after installing apps and reboot my phone.
then i decided to flash new rom with same company phone(Karbonn). So i got ROM for Karbonn S5 from google. I flashed that successfully on my phone i was very happy because this rom was having Jellybean OS(4.1.2). But after some time apps started crashing when i logged in my phone using my gmail as usual i did after every factory reset.
Then i re-flashed the same rom(Karonn S5). This time i decided to do factory reset using phone setting before loggin in google account. That was my blunder mistake. After pressing factory reset my phone got stuck in boot screen.
Then i tried same option to solve it (Volume down + power ) so i can format emmc again to resolve it. But this time after formatting emmc i was in the same condition on boot looping.I am not able to go in recovery option using my phone key.
NOTE: Currently my phone is not rooted,I checked it using ADB commands. My USB DEBUGGING is showing on but when i put my phone in" phone hardware check mode( using Volume Down + Power key)".

I just received a notice from Verizonwireless that there is a new software update available. So I went ahead and downloaded the update and attempted to install it. After a few seconds a new window opened showing the stupid Android robot laying on its back and the word "error" displayed. Thinking something bogus is going on with my phone I did a factory erase and retried the software update - same results.
Any way to determine what the error is and correct it so I can do the SW update? Out of curiosity I tried using ClockworkMod Rom Manager to install a custom ROM but got the same error indication.
My phone is a Verizon Galaxy S4 with Andriod version 4.3. The baseband version is I545VRUEMK2.

I installed firefox mobile (alpha version) just to test it out, but I can't for the sake of it find it on the phone. Tried install it again and it says it was successful. Still nothing, and I find nothing when I try to uninstall it. The phone says it got 56MB left of internal storage. Have I just spent a great deal of the internal memory installing a "ghost app", and how can I get rid of it in that case? I don't have that many apps on the phone.

I just worked my Android application with device (HTC Magic) version 1.5 and it loads properly and when i try to load the same application with the other phone by installing the .apk file of version1.5 with android version 2.1 and kernel version 2.6.29 omap1 but now i couldnt find my application getting installed on my device...
I have sent a link to view the screenshot for error http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/6411/img0981jw.jpg.
In the screenshot you can see Quadmon icon on top and it says it can not install app in Korean.
I have just followed the instructions given in this link (http://www.waxworlds.org/edam/software/android/how-to-install-an-apk-on-your-android-device) to install .apk file into my htc magic phone.
Is there any other way to get distributed my apk file into the device?
