[Q] Insufficient storage space - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

My GN is absolutely stock, with the latest OTA update to 4.0.2. It is a GSM version, running on UK orange.
Recently whenever I try to download an app updates I have been getting "insufficient space available".
Looking in the storage, and apps section. I have ~ 8GB space remaining on the device. I have rebooted several times, and still the error occurs with apps larger than 1MB it seems (latest casualties are Facebook and Shazam).
Anyone have any ideas, or experiencing similar issues?

Yup. I just clear the cache in a bunch of my apps. Facebook is the worst.

Are you still experiencing this? I am getting the same message when I try to update any apps from the market. I have approximately 28GB free (just got the phone yesterday). I've tried wiping the dalvik cache and rebooting but that hasn't resolved my problems.

Solved

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!

[Q] App download problems.

I know this is a problem a lot of Android users have, but wondered if anybody has found a solution.
Often the market states that an update is available, but when downloading it the app successfully downloads, but then fails to install. The market just sits there with the download percentage bar at 100% and won't progress any further.
I have done the usual things like signing out of Talk, clearing all caches and the data in 'Market' and it resolves it for only a few downloads then I am back to the same problem.
Also clearing the 'Market data' means that I have to tick all the "automatically update" options on all my apps again, which is a pain.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem for good? I'm running a stock rooted ROM.
Cheers.

[Q] Issues with Downloading Apps (Specific to Google Account)

I couple of days ago I installed the official RRU for Gingerbread but found it had too many issues with Wifi so I temp rooted it and downgraded it back to stock 2.2.
However I have been having serious issues with downloading apps off the Market since then. Whenever I try to do this I just get a 'Download was unsuccessful. Please try again' error message. I have tried to wipe the market, market updater and download manager cache but this does not fix the issue. I've also tried factory resets and that hasn't solved the issue either. The issue occurs on both Wifi and 3G. Strangely I can still install apps using the Market website (http://market.android.com).
I thought it may be an issue with the phone but after a factory reset I signed up to a new Google Account and I can download apps fine with that. However, I need to use my main Google Account as it has all of my contacts and app purchases on there.
Any help with sorting this out would be greatfully appreciated as it's becoming really frustrating for me.
I am having this exact same issue. I cannot download any apps from the market.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

My wife phone(S-ON+Gingerbread) had the same issue last 2days. What i did was, uninstall/clear cache. I'm guessing the problem somehow link to the low disk space

I cleared cache but nothing is working here. I can install apps but cannot download it. I've like 9mb free space :/
Confirmed, same here.
Direct initiation at market works.
Are you guys having this problem only on market or any downloads?
Did you try a hard reset?
No, works with OR-code.
Try updating your market manually to a newer version.
I used the file mentioned in this thread:

It seems to have solved my market related problems so far

It is a internal memory related issue. Even i faced the same problem. Clearing memory more than the app you are trying to download will fix the issue.

[Q] Insufficient storage errors ???

Every time i try and update an app it gives me this message
Even though I still have like 22 gb or storage left
Is there any way of getting around this error
I tried searching everyone says to delete the odex file or something like that I deleted what I thought was it but still nothing
Same Problem
I'm running 4.3 build 2.2 slim rom now. I receive the same "insufficient storage" error wgile updating certain apps such as yahoo mail, dolphin browser, twitter, and agoda. The rest of the apps update without any problems, though... I cannot see any reason why this is happening when I still have a couple of gigs in free space...
Could the settings in "android tuner" app have anything to do with this? As far as I recall, this problem with the updates started after I installed a few apps- android tuner being the most pervasive among them...
I hope someone who has encountered this same problem has found a solution other than re formatting and re flashing everything...

[Q] Dreaded Insufficient Storage Available

Hi all,
I get the insufficient storage available message when trying to update some apps, particularly WhatsApp today. I've uninstalled, deleted the folder from data and rebooted. Still no joy installing it back! I've also cleared Google Framework data and rebooted.
Are there any other solutions? I've tried Lucky Patcher in the past but it always seems to get stuck in a loop asking me for BusyBox!
I would appreciate any help. By the way, I am rooted, running CM11.
