This is really looking like a wipe/reinstall situation. If you have titanium, it's easy wiping. Just do apps/data though, not system data as whatever bug you have may be imbedded in the system data. All you'll need to do is add your accounts, widgets and system settings.

Your call, but if it were me I'd wipe cache and dalvik, and reflash the rom to see if that would fix it before wiping/resetting.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] android94301:
Yeah, it happened one other time, when I was running an early Route 66 build, and then reflashed to Synergy, and it fixed it. But I'd really like to understand what's going on, as I can't be always reflashing ROM's. I do have Titanium, but it's not trivial to do it, and it takes some time to do the reflash carefully.

Any other ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
I'm not sure about clean rom, but I'm on synergy and I just wipe cache / dakvik, reflash rom and that's it. All my apps and data stay intact and any bugs are cleaned up. 5 min process.

But not sure with clean rom, as synergy is on a nightly status where dirty flashing is okay. You'll need to find out if a clean rom reflash wipes data.

But a clean flash/titanium restore is done in 20 min total (with paid titanium). I do it all the time, it's become routine.

i solved my same issue like this

I had the same message come up, driving me nuts, banging my head on phone, when I looked into link2sd settings, I had it set to store on external card and had errors...changed it to Auto and the error message went away...apps still linked to external card.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blutdroid:
I'm getting the same error, rooted and running the latest Cyanogenmod 10.

So far I've tried all of these steps and nothing has worked:

Clear cache and dalvik cache.

Delete market framerwork data and google data.

There are no odex files to delete.

I cannot sideload apps, so Luckypatcher doesn't work

I restored through Clockworkmod recovery to a save before this happened.

I cannot backup through CWM or Titaniumbackup (or anything like those) because I get the insufficient storage error.

If I have to do a wipe, what steps should I go through if that is the last resort so as not to lose anything (other than the obvious backup data still saved)?

I couldn't install or update any apps, but for some reason I could download link2sd.

Once I installed it, opened the app went to settings off the Menu then 'Install location'.

It was set to 'External' set it to 'Automatic' then exited the app.

Now I was able to download again. Thanks for sharing the fix. :good:

solved for stock JB on Nexus S

I ran into this problem on an unrooted stock 4.1.2 (JellyBean) Nexus S

Link2SD (which I only use for info) reported Internal /data at %10 free (101 MB) and DiskUsage (a great visual tool for showing what is using storage) reported the top culprits using my phone's "App Storage" (I wish devs would stop making up their own names for things). Chrome is at the top of the list using %9 for what I'm guessing is cached data. A cache clear would probably have fixed my install problem too, but I elected to uninstall the number two culprit which was iZip. I had been testing zipping up music files and it apparently left a 50MB zip lying around in internal storage. All my app updates worked after that including the latest 10MB Google+ update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zx3junglist:
I know this thread is a little old and tired, but I found it searching google. I fixed my own problem by trying it again after taking my SD card out of the phone. Hope that helps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwr3ck3d:
I was able to fix my issue by using ES File Explorer and going to /data/app. Then I deleted the .apk of the app that was giving my the error. Then I went to the Google Play Store and updated the app. It let me download the update and install it too. Problem fixed... hope this helps other people too.

i didn't even think about that thx bro that fixed it. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mirrin:
I had this issue on my droid incredible so often... I was so happy to upgrade but what I did to fix it was a full format of all memory then I loaded cm10 on it when it came back I moved any app that did it to my sdcard updated moved back or left on SD. If your using twrp I highly suggest doing a full format at least once you will end up erasing everything on the phone only thing left untouched is there as card you put in.

When I did that my phone file system was 10x faster that it was before I would also say my phone had less issues than before.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chriv:
What worked for me...

Note: My fix worked, in large part because, I have a rooted system with busybox properly installed (allowing me to use su, find, and grep, as well as letting me remount /system r/w and r/o). Also, I have a terminal app on my Android as well. You can't even view the contents of the /data directory if you are not root.

I had this exact same problem with Advanced Task Killer by rechild.

I began to suspect that there were some "leftovers" from this app on my device that could not be overwritten by the Android package installer.

So, in a rooted adb shell, I searched my entire system for .apk files like this (if your busybox doesn't have sym-linked applets, you make have to use "busybox find" and "busybox grep"):

find / | grep '\.apk$' > /data/local/tmp/apklocate.txt

Then skimmed the results with:

less /data/local/tmp/apklocate.txt

When that produced nothing, I tried a different approach. I looked in /data/app/ and /data/data for leftovers by skimming their contents with ls. Then I pulled out a different android with Advanced Task Killer by rechild installed. From it, I determined that the package name for this app was com.rechild.andvancedtaskkiller.

So I decided to search /data/app/ and /data/data/ with ls and grep. I tried /data/app first (if ls -la doesn't work on your android, try ls -l -a or busybox ls -l -a):

cd /data/app/
ls -la | grep rechild

and got:

com.rechild.advancedtaskkiller-1.odex

Whoa, there! I found an odex file WITHOUT a corresponding apk. I pretty much knew this was the source of my problem, but I went ahead and searched /data/data/ and /data/app for other "leftovers" from this app.

From there, the solution was simple (again, this whole solution assumes you are in a terminal on your device as root):

cd /data/app/
rm com.rechild.advancedtaskkiller-1.odex

Please note that this was very presumptuous on my part. I ASSUMED I wouldn't ever need that odex file again. While I was right, it would have MUCH safer for me to move this file somewhere else with a different filename somewhere else in the /data folder heirarchy with something like:

mv /data/app/com.rechild.advancedtaskkiller-1.odex /data/com.rechild.advancedtaskkiller-1.odex.deletemelater

Please also note that I did NOT suggest moving it to a sdcard folder. That's because FAT32 partitions (like those on Android SD cards) do NOT preserve ownership and permissions of files. A tar backup of the file would have also been a safe idea, as tar files do preserve ownership and permissions of the archive files (unless you explicitly instruct them not to on the command line).

And last, but not least:

Picked up Android, went into Google Play, searched for Advance Task Killer, and installed it (error free)! ;)

Easy fix for me

I had the same problem early on when I got the phone. The thing that casued the error was me changing in rom tool box where the apps gets installed to, I changed it from the internal memory to the external memory. After I did that I couldn't download anything. When I went back into rom tool box and switched the installation destination of apps back to the internal and rebooted everything worked out fine.

Hope this helps.

I can confirm I had the exact same problem with my Note 2 SCH-1605 4.1.1 rooted stock rom and kernel and fixed it by setting the Apps2sd setting to auto. At first it was unsuccessful because when i selected auto it never took because ROM Toolbox did not have permission from SuperSU. Once i figured out how to grant ROM Toolbox permission in the SuperSU configuration. All is good now. :o

Re-installing Link2SD Fix

YES! After days of cleaning caches, searching the internet, not understanding why some apps installed and some didn't, deleting google play, etc. I read these posts. I couldn't even side load some useful apps like Lucky Patcher.

I had installed Link2SD and removed it when I learned that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (SCH-I915) did not support APP2SD. I re-installed Link2SD, went to settings, changed it to automatic and IT WORKED.

Thank you so much for posting your solution. :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:

ADB is the solution

I Have Found the solution on the Insufficient Storage Available,it is works for me, just Simply follow this step:

Step 1: Enable the device in USB Debugging mode (For ICS:Setting--Developer option--USB Debugging)

Step 2: Download and extract the Developer tools in the Android Developer website

Step 3: Connect your Android Phone\Tablet to Computer

Step 3: Open Command prompt and enter cd<space>enter the destination of folder platform tools and press enter.(cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86\adt-bundle-windows-x86\sdk\platform-tools)

Step 4: Type "adb.exe" and press enter.

Step 5: Type "adb shell" and press enter

Step 6 : Type "pm set-install-location 0" and press enter

0 - Let the system decide

1 - Internal (Phone Memory)

2 - Extenal (SD card)

Now you can download in play store without the hassle.

Im not responsible for any damage to your phone\tablet

Do it your own risk :victory:

Clear app caches

Apparently this message prevents installation/update of apps when less then 10% of the internal memory is available.

This used to be 14MB with the HTC Desire (it had 140 MB free out of the box) and it seems to be 200MB with our 2GB devices.

I was constantly getting this message, when I started to poke around, what used up all the memory, with most of my apps already moved to SD card: Solid Explorer can display folder sizes: looking at /data/data I found apps such as Chrome, Gmail, Youtube, the built in browser, Flipboard having data folders in the magnitude of 100MB. In most cases it's the cache subfolder which holds most of this data, and this can be safely erased.

In my case the biggest memory hog was the cache folder of

Instagram

, 261 megabytes!!!

The good news is, that you don't even need to be rooted, you can simply and without any ill effects erase the cache from under "Manage Apps". Doing so gained over 500MB in my case, and I don't get the ominous message any more.

My problem is that currently I'm on a samsung vitality (sch-r720) and its about as space/mem constrained as it gets all around. Link2sd set to auto, space available, rooted and using OA2.

The only thing that resolved my issue was to have Titanium do a complete cache clean. A ton of stuff gets left hanging around, and even if space looks to be available...sometimes it ain't.

The only thing that worked for me

This happens because the phone is running low on RAM memory, and we are installing to many apps. Forget about cleaning cache/dalvik or uninstalling Google Play updates... The only real fix that saved me is Link2SD app, which virtually extends phone internal partition moving the apps to SD card: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en.

This was the first thread that came up when searching about this problem, so I figured I'd post my own solution.

I have a very weird situation though, a very experimental rom on my samsung Sidekick 4G, so its not a samsung galaxy, but i think my solution would be helpful.

Per some other posts here, I downloaded LINK2SD. I had a single problem application, "Tegrak Overclock" that refused to install! I set LINK2SD to install to external automatically, which let tegrak install, set LINK2SD back to "automatic", went to the applications page and moved the app to internal!

Suck that you stupid app.
