finally found this thread full of posts from people facing the same dilemma and looking for answers. apparently, there isn't a great deal of interest in the scene for overcoming this limit, judging by the limited amount of threads and discussion on this issue and the fact that there isn't some customisations, mods, roms etc that include element that allow the video recording limit to be exceeded.

it is telling in a way, that the majority of smartphone users never bother or care enough for the issues to be raised and discussed more extensively in the community. :(

same oroech

hi,

i am still looking for solution the buildin camera apk, but if you are interested in third party apk then visit my thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2485063

all apk can record unlimited size and duration so it is the camerabuild in restricted from recording over limit and it is nothing to do with fat 32 format, because if it is why other 3rd party apk will work with no issue but i prefer the build in cam apk that is why i like to see solution for that and that is only possible by programmer to decompile . modify and recompile it again, i tired to decompile myself to see if i can get my head around, but i get error when decompiling it while i can decompile some other apk with no problem.

thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrusterX:
i think, it's the way how the apps create the file. The Camera app is recording in it's virtual memory backend. And as you know, a 32bit proccess can't allocate more than 2gb ram. I tested several dashcam software and they all crashed while reaching 2GB of recording data. Those apps let you choose to save the record to chunks of x minutes.

just my thought.... maybe i'm completly wrong :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joint.striker:
Probably this particular issue is not technical, although next to that there would be the 4GB limit on FAT32.

It seems that this is an Android limitation imposed due to legal reasons or financial ones, depending how you look at it.

There are several articles on this issue but not just Android, it covers all digital cameras, they have a 30min. recording cap which usually falls on the 2GB limit for most standard Android devices. This is due to a taxation on video recording devices which I'm guessing have one class for less than 30min. continuous recording time and a different class for greater than 30 min. continuous recording time.

According to a few articles I've read, the Word Trade Organization has specified these parameters in their Information Technology Agreement.

Google must have capped this to prevent a bigger taxation on the devices than it already is. I'm guessing the average person doesn't need more than 30 min. of continuous video but even if they do they just have to press 'recording' again. Of course that doesn't change the fact that this thread exists because some people really want the continuous and automated recording to go beyond 30 minutes. I wonder if some Android guru is able to find anything on Android kernel where this is set up as a limitation. Would be awesome to defeat the WTO with one line of code.

Hello,

I am having a real bad bug..

I wanted to install Hiapn (approx 320kb) over the Play Store on my Galaxy S3.

After the app was downloaded and tried to install, my phone told me an Error. Insufficient Storage Available

I have more than 1900 MB on my intern storage, and even 40gb on the extern sd card.

This bug is not only with this certain app, I keep getting it with any one.

I searched for the last couple of hours online, but all the solutions did not work.

My phone is rooted, I used these files:

CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.2.tar

CWM-SuperSU-v0.89.zip

and did a flag counter reset with triangle away.

The bug occured today, I was able to download apps in the last couple of days.

Online I found solutions like resetting play store, delete updates of the play store, delete play store cache, delete cache over CWM Recovery and delete dalvik cache over cwm recovery.

I did all of these things, neither of those worked.

I do not want to reset my phone though.

There has to be a workaround.

I found the app "MarketFix" which should fix my problem, but I cannot install it, cause of the error.

Now I am really bothered cause nothing seems to work.

I read that fixing permissions over CWM Recovery might do the trick, but it might also crash the OS and leaves me to reset my phone, so I did not do that yet.

Here I have made a catlog Logfile, going in to play store and trying to download "hiapn". But I'm not able to find the cause.

Please help a desperate man.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllTernative:
Hi, thanks for your reply.

I don't really want to restore, because I have the fear, that the bug will come again if I don't find the cause..

Also, I'm pretty new to Android. How do you suggest a restoration? Over the CWM Recovery mode? Is it possible to save any settings, like the homescreen layout?

Ola,

"I had this problem a few days back. I fixed mine by running "Lucky Patcher" and then going to the troubleshoot section in the menu and picking "Remove fixes and backups (insufficient storage available"

I copy-pasted these lines above from AndroidCentral.

It did fix the problem for me. And I have been spending many, many hours if not days digging through Google search results..

My thanks go to GTAFan9999 on AndroidCentral for pointing me in the right direction.

After this some apps that refused to update in the past, updated just fine, I could reinstall Facebook and Whatsapp. (I tried to fix the "ISA" message by uninstalling but couldn't re-install... argh)

BTW, you will have to google Lucky Patcher, you won't find in on Google Play.

I would be really interested if this would fix it for others as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjacobs76:
I'm having this same issue. I rooted my S3 Sunday, and since last night, I haven't been able to update some of my apps, and I can't install any new apps. I tried downloading Lucky Patcher onto my computer and installing it through Android App Installer, but I get the same insufficient storage available error message. Is there any fix for this issue? I don't want to do a factory reset and lose all my info and have the chance that It'll just come back after reseting.

I ended up restoring my original stock nandroid backup that I created when first rooting. So far everything is working.

I too am having this problem and have tried what is suggested after this reply but it did nothing.

It was the app install location to SD-card that did it. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I was getting the Insufficient storage error for every app I tried to download or update.

Insufficient storage

I recently installed SroidSail Super App2SD Lite. Changed the "set location" from auto to sd card a couple of days ago. Never changed it back even after I found out apps weren't going to be moved to sd card. Got the insufficient storage message this morning. Wiped Dalvich cache, fixed permissions, everything. Finally I figured to try to change things back to auto on the App2SD app and now everything is great with the world again. Thank you to all who posted their fixes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzardeel:
check this out

It has something to do with the way apps index their files, so all you have to do is delete their .odex files and it should work. Worked for me I was getting an error for Titanium Backup Root

Using a custom ROM on an Android device has its benefits — more battery life, buttery smooth speed, rom control, tweaks, and mods. Of course, not all custom ROMs are stable, many are still on beta stage, and updates are released almost every week. Non-wipe version updates doesn’t require any factory reset or cache wipe which I find it less of a hassle because I don’t need to do go over the setup wizard and restore all of my apps on Titanium Backup that could take some time especially if you have a lot of apps and games installed, unlike with a wipe version.

If you have Titanium Backup installed on your previous version, doing a non-wipe install could stop the process of Titanium Backup. You might receive a pop-up notification that Titanium Backup has stopped working. Reinstalling the app might lead to an insufficient storage space error — when an app is uninstalled or modified, it leaves a .odex residue file which causes the error. So all you have to do is delete the .odex file of Titanium Backup.

Here’s how:

Using any file explorer like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer, go to /data/app , find and delete "com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex".

And now you can install Titanium Backup again!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjacobs76:
Thanks for this! My TitaniumBackup would not update today and I did this, and then it updated. Will this work for all apps that give the not enough space error or does it just work for TitaniumBackup?

this problem was driving me crazy! I had already wiped and restored my phone 3 times and the problem kept coming back... what did it for me was to revert to "AUTO" in RomToolBox. Awesome!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0wns3t:
i believe that what may happen is when you try to install the file and it tries to create the .odex file (i'm thinking thats how it works, fits with my theory). For a multitude of reasons it may fail (lack of extra space on that partition, a left over "pre-modified" version of the .odex from lucky patcher (interesting choice of trouble shooting tool!) or maybe a permissions issue). I'm thinking under normal circumtances it probably only occurs due to lack of space to create it, and hence a failure to create the odex at that point is reported as insufficient space, whatever the actual cause was.

Not sure if thats right, but to me it explains it perfectly

Here is a solution that worked for me

Had the same problem but could not update or download programs with rare exception.

My solution was to go back to my Restore program that saved previous apk that had to do with the SD card. I had several since I was trying to save data to my external SD card and not apps.

After restoring 3 apps that could move apps to the ext. SD card and then adjusting them to show that nothing would be going to the external card either by checking "automatic" selection or my changing the path previously used to transfer to the external card to the internal SD.

Reboot and went to the Android Market place and all previous updates were able to download without issue.

Prior to this, I could not install the Lucky Patcher apk at all...................know it can be but really do not need it.

Hope this helps you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FastRX8:
I fixed it!

Lucky patcher did not work for me. I do not have any apps like Link2SD or Apps2SD, so I've never changed the default location for where to install apps.

The first app that gave me the error was Google Chrome when I was trying to install an update.

I uninstalled Google Chrome, and everything else works now. I even re-installed Chrome. Not sure if this is a permanent fix, but it's working for me now.

EDIT -

Spoke too soon. After installing Chrome again, I'm unable to install other apps. If I remove Chrome, it works fine.

What I do is revert app2sd in rom toolbox install location to 'auto'. This fixes the problem.

2nd step is i manually go to root/data/app/ to find and delete the .odex file. (optional - lucky patcher did this automatically)

3rd step is reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, fix permission and reboot. (may work but not guaranteed)

4th step use android commander to push app via adb. download from (http://androidcommander.com/) (credits to PanPiotr)

If all above step not working the only option is factory reset.
