I know the answer to this is in the forums somewhere, but it won't let me search, keeps giving me an error, and I'm not finding any working solutions with google.
I keep getting the "can't install app, not enough space" error in the market.
I tried clearing market data/cache; clearing google services framework data; and un-mounting SD cards. I saw that there was an app that fixes the problem, and found it very ironic!
Error started about a week or so ago, was hoping it would go away with an updated nightly.
Currently running
CM7 - 107
Chads beta - 11
Mkt vers. - 2.3.6
Thanks for your help!
Not sure if this will help- but this happened to me 2 days ago. I was trying to install a WiFi tether program, and it wouldn't install and gave me that error.
Apparently the problem was that the new program conflicted with a previous WiFi tether program I already had installed. Instead of saying 'bad permissions' or 'file writing error' it said there wasn't enough space.
So there's a possibility that it's a problem with permissions OR it's just trying to install a file to a location that is already in use.
I got it to work by simply uninstalling the other WiFi tether program. Of course if *all* app's won't install for you, I really wouldn't know the first place to look.
I don't have an easy fix, but good luck.
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually had a little success a few minutes ago installing the app over the air using my laptop. Not a fix, but a decent work-around I guess

how much user space do you have left of the 740 meg
One way around this problem is to initiate the install from web version of the market. Even if you are just updating an app you already downloaded find it on the market website and click install. For whatever reason, it won't give you the error.

I've read somewhere that there's a partition of space (150meg) for data files, and if it's full then it'll give that error for new installs.
They really need to get more specific errors because it seems like this 1 error can apply for several very different reasons.
I got an easy fix for this !!!!!!!
Simply go to the market, search cache fixer. !! That work! The market fixer dont work at my mobile, but Cache fixer did ! Så now i can download all sizes of games and apps

I am unable to install apps from the market. I can access the market and select the apps but all I get is starting downloads which doesn't change even if I leave for hours. I have WI-FI enabled and can access the web with no problems. Here is what I have tried already.
Clear Data in Downloader,
Clear Data and Cache in market
Factory reset
Flashed to CyanogenMod 7
and I still cannot download any apps.
If you have s-off you could try deleting the market.apk file and then reinstalling from a non market source? If you search xda I'm sure I remember several threads about this.
I had this problem a few times. Have you recently changed your Gmail (If you use Gmail) address from @googlemail to @gmail? This is what caused the problem for me and many others...

I never did work out what was causing the problem. I installed CyanogenMod 7 and all is work again.
Yea, sometimes just a reflash fixes the problem. I also found that, sometimes, the download would just finish but never actually install - almost as if the .apk downloaded but the Market Process just never actioned the new .apk to open, so it just sat in /cache until the next reboot, doing nothing.
log in to google talk...i think that should solve the issue.
hi guys seem to be having issues with updating certain apps, some of the game apps have updated but maps wont update flash player wont also other apps.. they both come up downloading then says downloading failed.
ive tried doing the clear data and cache but still no luck.
im s off
pvt 3
custom mounted, ive even increased my mount to see if that was issue.
any ideas?
Try manual update, instead of auto update. My colleague had the same problem on a DHD, so he stopped the auto update and sucessfully updated manually.
tried that mate nothing,
seems it wont download any big apps either. i have a script to make market work but still dnt seem to work, it used to tho.
What Rom are you on? What Partition Table you use?
just standard sense but stripped down.
its set at 175 5
Your cache size is the problem -5MB is not enough.
YOu need to flash or enable market (script) to download to the SD - what and where you find it, depends on your ROM. Check the developement section.
I have a initd link cache to data script, worked fine now dnt seem to.
I've had an issue with a few manual updates where you only get a white screen after clicking on the update button and the agree/download screen doesn't load.
Anybody had anything similar?
Whatsthe contents of the script?
i must be doing something really stupid cos ii cant get it to work at all
Try removing both scripts (mine and yours) and reboot (you did reboot after applying mine right?) then see if you can download a small app
Just bought GN for a few days... restored apps from my Atrix to GN with Mybackup...
When updating apps in Market, most updated but Friendcast... error "Insufficient storage available"...(but there is still 12Gb memory)
then, I deleted some big apps as well as the Friendcast... tried to install Friendcast again but failed with same reason... (also failed to install Flash and some other apps in Market with same error)
But there is no problem to import files with USB or AirDroid...
Pls help and advise how to fix it. (before I reset the device as my least priority)
Thousand thanks.

Haven't really heard of this before but off the top of my head, my first guess would be perhaps the applications (in their manifest file the app author made) are set to auto install to the /sdcard instead of to the device internal memory? If so, and your "sdcard" allocated memory is full, this could trigger the insufficient space error message.
Check out my first suggestion as that is the only suggestion which comes to mind. If that doesn't help, post back and I guess we'll see what other options there might.
I'm sure somebody else will probably have a few good suggestions also which might help!
Thanks joeykrim.
u are right... since it is able to update paradise island (2Xmb), but some smaller apps doesn't.... like Friendcast, winamp...
But i have no idea what to do at this moment... sigh....
... just notified 1X apps need to update in Market...
after updated, 4 left with same error msg...
ie, Google map, Multi Touch Tester, QuickPic and LINE....
then, i tried to update again and updated LINE, ie, rest 3 left....
then, i tried again and again... still these 3 left...

Looks like you took the hard way
I had the same problem a couple of times. The easiest way to solve it is to run Lucky Patcher and you'll see a toast notification that unused data/odex has been removed. That should solve the problem.
Hit 'Thanks' if it helped. Cheers!
Hi,
I'm running Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1 with great satisfaction since a couple of month but recently I got the following problem with the market.
I had updates for standard apps like fb, opera and a couple more ready to download but upon trying to download the market was saying it could not do it and was putting out "error 492".
Although for other phones, I found posts that suggested to wipe phone's cache form the boot menu and I tried that. Now the situation is changed:
the download does occur, but upon trying to install the whole system crashes and reboots..
It might be worth noting that I'm running S2E on an EXT4 partition appearently without problems.
thanks for your help

Hi, it looks like I'm the only one with this problem..
anyhow the problem got worse and it's indeed related to S2E, now it seems unable to see the ext4 partition and can't access any app outside the core ones including S2E itself. the partition is still there though from the mac I can't see its' content and I don't have a windows pc at hand right now to look into it.
please suggest me how to proceed.
thank you
davide
did I break some rule of this forum?
I haven't seen many other posts with specific problem going unreplied...
Had this few months ago just stop using s2e reflash should help

Hello, not sure this is the right section for this query; apologies if not.
I'll try to be as succinct as possible, and please bear in mind that I'm a total novice when it comes to pretty much everything technical.
I have an old S5830, unused for a number of years. I thought I might be able to install maps.me and/or osmand and use it as a satnav while cycling. Both these apps run offline and don't need a data connection.
I temporarily installed my current SIM to download maps.me, but insufficient internal storage. I tried rooting and using link2sd to move some of the bloatware, but couldn't get it to work.
As I had little to lose I then reset to factory, but that reverted to Google Market which wouldn't update to Play Store, so unable to download anything.
Next, following online instructions and assuming it would be more up to date, I installed a custom ROM ( TheUltimatum(V4.9)[-The’A’Factor].) and gapps-gb-20131214-signed to access Google Apps. That seemed to go alright, but again I'm stuck with Google Market and again it won't update to Play Store. I've tried using apk.s of the apps but they won't parse(?) so that hasn't worked. The impression I get is that the S5830 hardware is too old to run them; would that be right?
My ideal outcome would be to have it with the absolute minimal OS and no apps whatsoever save the maps. Failing that, can anyone advise me on what to do next, or is it a waste of time?
Thank you.
