Error - insufficient storage space available

I can't install any new apps. I keep getting the error message:

Error

Insufficient Storage Space Available.

I do have plenty of space on the internal and sdcard. I tried saving apps to both, still no luck. When going through the process of downloading and installing an app, I can download the app. When the installing animation is happening the error message pops up. Any remedies? :confused:

Hello guys,

I haz problem... I installed the CM9 nightly from 5-8-12. My first CM9 install ever. I wanted to use ROM manager to update the nightly builds there after.

BUT, when I open ROM manager, it says I have to flash CWM... but obviously, I flashed CM9 through CWM 5.5 which came with the ROM...

Why isnt ROM manager detecting my CWM??

thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Wolf91:
Normal thing.

Open Rom Manager, enable wifi and connect, tap on "Install ClockworkMod Recovery", select "Samsung Captivate (MTD)", select "ClockworkMod 3.xxxx" (something like that) and then you'll be able to update ROMs by Rom Manager.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Lol, Sarasota position.

I would stay away from ROM manager and just flash through CWM

Ok, the newest build is amazing. I am new to the flashing world, but I am sure glad I finally did find the guts to go through with it. Big thanks to the devs who made this all happen. This is my first post because many other people have had the same issues I have had. This website is a great resource.

---------- Post added at 03:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 AM ----------

Also I do however have one question. I have learned about rooting and flashing. I have read the wikis and everything, but there are still two terms that I see thrown around that I still do not really understand. If I missed it in any of the faqs or wikis, please point me in the right direction and will read it again if need be.

But the two terms are bootloaders and kernels. Now from what I can tell, since I have already one the process have rooting and flashing the latest nightly build of CM9 I probably don't have to worry too much about this. Especially with so little experience flashing.

The next term is one that intrigues me. What exactly are Kernels and how do they improve the effectiveness of the phone. I would like to give it a shot and see what else I can do with my phone. In advance thank you for any help.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
I'm sure you could easily learn about kernels with Google. But anyway, the kernel is essentially the core of the OS in any computerized device. It is responsible for controlling the CPU, I/O, RAM, basically the interface between hardware and software, to put it simply.

The point of switching kernels is because of the fact that there really is no perfect setup for a kernel, as there are infinite ways to set it up and each way can have significant advantages/disadvantages. So usually you will find tweaks and optimizations to make things run faster with better battery life, extra free ram, overclocking, and extra features like touchwake and bln.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
+1 to korockinout13

I might add, at least for myself. Unless I am having problems with a specific kernel, I usually stay with the stock. In my own experience, the dev's USUALLY bake in a solid kernel into their ROM's. I went through a OC phase, and in the real world, I really wasnt blown away by the performance increases so I stopped doing it. I have to admit that I am somewhat of a flash whore, so I tend to jump from ROM to ROM, and it is 1 less step in the setup.

Now from my own experience too, it never really mattered too much which kernel I was on, I never got any improved battery life. I know some people had great luck with that, I wasn't one of them. My best battery life was on Phoenix, but that was a Froyo ROM(It still rocks though). Most of the GB/Miui/ICS ROM's give me ok, battery life not great.

Keep in mind that this is my experience. The more you read, and experiment, the more you'll find that you may not get the exact results that you just read about. It's kind of a known thing that each Captivate is just a wee bit different and you really can get a wide range of results even if you had 2 Caps sitting right next to each other and did the exact same thing to each of them

In the end, once you learn how your device responds and reacts to different kernels/ROM's/modems etc, you'll find what works best for you, and then it comes down to one last thing........the theme

Just a thought from my experiences

oh, yeah.....The bootloader? I guess in PC terms, you can think of it as the BIOS, they are run before the OS starts up and that is the only time. They are executed to boot the OS kernel
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickle60:
Yeah, I was actually able to figure out what a kernel is (thanks to wiki and google), but with respect with this ROM I didn't really understand why some were flashing and installing other kernels on there devices. The second part of your posts clarify's my misunderstanding with that part of it. I figured the there was already a kernel with the original ROM, and wanted to know the advantages of flashing another one. Thanks, now I have that all cleared up.

Again, thanks for a well written response. Between korockinout13 and your responses I think I have gotten it down. Also, I did manage to figure out what a bootloader's purpose was. I was just didn't understand why people would switch from bootloader to bootloader. It was my understanding that each motherboard had it's own specific bootloader. And what where the advantages from switching from one bootloader to another.

Usb not work so cant install new nightly

I just noticed that I have a 'device cannot start' error when I try to mount USB mass storage. The icons are on the phone, but the drives will not appear on my PC.

I've re-installed the driver and that didn't help. I'm on nightly 0517. I want to upgrade to the most recent nightly, but can't think of an easy way to get the ROM file to my phone. Bluetooth has never worked properly and with the USB bridge broken, I'm not sure what to do next.

Methods that may work...

reflash current ROM

restore old ROM

I would never advise when changing ROMS, using ROM manager. At the very MINIMUM; copy the ROM to your SD, reboot into recovery, data/factory reset, wipe davlik cache, and flash the ROM/gaaps.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeylproctor:
Reading through the nightly thread, noticed some saying the boot went back to ICS stock animation. Is that not the case currently? About to flash 6/4 nightly regardless.

UPDATE: All kinds of problems now. Went back to stock GB kernel. I then was in a boot loop. Tried to wipe data/cache and got the rfs format error. Tried to revert back to the stock rom through recovery it failed. I then tried to flash back to stock GB rom using odin, it hung and failed. Now I've got the phone+!+computer icon. I'm sorry that I can't remember the errors exactly, there's been so many I lost track. The fix I found for phone+!+computer says to use Odin 1 click, but I've read it only works on froyo and older.

UPDATE: holding volume up+volume down while repeatedly inserting usb, with odin open, finally odin read the connection and I flashed the stock kernel again. After the reboot, it went straight to recovery mode, still can't do anything in recovery and still have boot loop. Tried Odin3 one click and it worked like a champ! Now to root, install CWM, and finally get the nightly installed.

There are a couple of things to keep in mind when you go to stock. My phone is a 1008, so going to Eclair JF6 with Odin 1Click is a breeze for me(Although I loose 3button recovery which adds a new step for me)

Take a look under your battery to find your build number, it'll look like 10.06, 10.07, 10.08 and so on, it's the mfg date. Above 10.12, can have issues with the JF6 Odin 1 Click. That one has the Master Clear, which I personally like. After flashing JF6, Master Clear literally erases EVERYTHING that is not related to the operation of the ROM. So it is really as stock as you can get.

I have a REALLY bad schedule this and next week, but if you have any questions feel free to PM me. I may not be able to answer you right away. And if you get really stuck, feel free to post on this thread. Most everyone here has been doing this quite a while, and (I hope) wont mind helping

Lag using phone

For the past couple of nightlies I have been experiencing lag using the phone application. I usually call my wife from the recent call log. I press the phone icon next to the number and I usually get a 10-20 second lag before the caller screen opens. If i hit more than once, I get a flurry of error messages. Anyone else experienced this issue?

Also have frequent lag when hitting home button. It takes 1-2 seconds to load widgets and apps on the homescreen. Also get many 'app not responding' messages.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja_rancher:
So twice now since flashing one of the first nightlies on my wife's Captivate she has come to me with a phone that has either rebooted or that she has rebooted, that is stuck indefinitely on the boot animation. I don't remember the dates of the builds she was running at the time. Cache/Dalvik cleaning from recovery didn't fix it. Flashing the ROM again didn't fix it. Flashing a newer build didn't fix it. In both cases I wound up having to do a factory reset. I'm not really looking for a "how do I fix this?" answer, because it seems so random and infrequent. But my question is this: if I'm stuck on the boot animation, is there any way via recovery to get a a log or something that may provide information as to what went wrong?

The phone button has always been a huge source of lag for me. My guess is it takes a while to load the big thumbnails. They will probably address this eventually.

Low video volume

I'm on CM9, 6/28 nightly. Volume otherwise is fine on my phone, but when watching any videos the media volume immediately decreases to about 25% when the video starts. I can then use the volume rocker to push it back up to 100% (and it will stay there for the whole video), but as soon as I load another video the volume drops back down to 25% and I have to turn it up again.

This only happens with videos on my SD card. I can watch YouTube/Hulu videos just fine without volume changes. Any ideas?

1. Turn on your wifi from anywhere (drwar, in settings, etc)

2. Go into settings>wifi. (tap "wifi" not the on/off button next to it. This was my folly)

3. If your wifi is on this will display a list of available networks.
