[Q] Can't update downloaded apps

hi to all.
I noticed a problem yesterday, i can't update my apps. It says "update" and when i press on it, it downloads, and after 1second "installing" it says : Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card :S. And after that the same app doesn't have "update" status - it says "free" although i have that app on my Desire. And if i download again - it says the same, couldn't install. But i CAN install other apps, that i don't have on my phone. Can somebody help me. i'm running stock 2.2 - not rooted.

Try "Clear Data" and Cache for the market. That may work

Clear data clears all, cache included.
Try clearing Download manager data too.

doesn't help either

Then it is probable Google related in regard to your region. Few weeks ago half of my apps were missing from my apps list so I had to use market enabler to update my apps. This week it started working normal as usual. Wait for a few days, maybe it comes to its senses.

i thought the same

I had exactly the same problem last night and this morning, I wiped all caches including the Dalvik.
It now seems to be working! Rooted with CM7

so... i found some solution. ex: Google googles can't update. If i move it to internal and update it's ok. I moved it again on sd and the new version (1.5.2) again doesn't update. i must again move it to internal. it's stupid to do this all the time. I formated the sd card - again the same. what can be the cause? and the cure ? tnx
edit|
found solution online if someone need it :
The solution? Go and delete smdl2tmp1.asec yourself. From what I can tell, it could reside in 2 locations:
/sdcard/.android_secure – this is an invisible folder on your SD card, which you can access with any file manager, like ASTRO
/mnt/secure/asec/ – access to this folder requires root and a program like Root Explore

Ive had that issue in the past and deleting the file helped the first time. HOWEVER, I've encountered this problem again recently, and this fix no longer works. Anyone has another fix?
Froyo, no root, stock rom.

Internal phone storage is getting low..how to fix this?

Got this after i flashed acs ics v4 on acs icsv 3.5. I cleaned cache and dalvik before i flashed v4. and now i have a pop up saying internal memory low.
clicking on that shows 485 mb used and 0 left.
also i cant access almost any apps since market force closes and i cant even install astro to access system folders.
tried moving apps to sd card but that fails also and my go launcher crashes and reboots.
How do i fix this?
Also just noticed.. power menu has POWER OFF only?????

no one????????????????????

Have you tried moving some apps to the SD card?
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > On SD card

Tried all that nothing worked.wiped everything and r installed v3.5

By chance how many apps have you installed aside from the ones inlcuded in the rom? If a lot you may want to uninstall whatever you can then use root explorer to delete unneccessary apps from "system/app". You also may have had a bad flash....like something may be corrupt. Try to reflash if nothing else works. ACS v4 works fine for me

Use Titanium Backup to move a lot of apps to your SD card. Just don't move system apps or widgets.

I keep getting the same message and I still have 43mb left

The message is triggered when you drop below 50 MB.

Your link to the "fix" points back to this thread you might want to fix that!

Hey try link2sd instead of app2sd using tb or something like it
I have more than 100 apps and still 95mb left

Other than resurrecting a year old thread... I've also been facing the same issue. I think apps have been getting bigger, and the base Cyanogenmod is also creeping up in size for our older devices.
I wonder if creating symbolic links from /data/app/ to /sdcard/app would work?

I know this thread pertains to your issue, but just an FYI--this is the forum for the original Epic 4G... not the Touch version.
The only way around this issue that I've found was a factory reset or getting annoyed and starting over with either a new or the same ROM. Sucks, but that's been the only solution I've found for this issue.

[Q] Intermintent Market Error 492

I have searched these forums and have come across similar posts but not quite the problem I am having. From time to time I will get a market error when trying to update apps. "Market Error 492" and it wont download the update. I can fix this everytime by booting into recovery>Advanced>wipe Davilik Cache. Then Reboot. This will take care of my problem but will eventually comeback but never is it consistent.(sometimes I can go months before it happens) Is there a way to prevent this from happening at all? here is what I have:
Carrier: USCC
Device: HTC Desire CDMA
ClockworkMOd Recovery
Rom: CM7 Stable
Thanks in advance for any help

Have you tried clearing the market app's data?

I know it sounds stupid, its your sd card. Format it, backing up what you need

Hmm does sound a bit weird, but I have found out with things as such usually is something stupid. Any idea as to why this happens? I will surley try and report back with the results. Thanks

I know this doesn't help, but I have been getting that error too for the last 2 days :-(

Hi, mount SD-card on my PC and delete the .android_secure directory, which will re-enable the market functionality.

hi, i have an SGS1 with Mosiac 9...
market stopped working today.... tried the following..
clear dalvik cache
clear cache
clear market cache
BUT how do i find the .android_secure directory
i cant even find it through my android rooted file manager?
thanks..
PS.. seeing how many different phones, ROMs are having this issue... i am believing that its a market specific issue?
i also found this... but i dont know how to use it correctly or if its applicable... im a newb....
"When the Android Market app 3.4.4 was starting the download of an app it failed after a few seconds with error "could not be downloaded due to error 492". Searching on the internet I found some Asian page which contains the solution ... execute "chmod 777 /data/download". After I had execute this statement under adb shell, I had been able to install apps without any problems on my AC100 (with the OS update from July 2011)"
PPS.... how do i edit my signature... cant find that anywhere?
thanks again

[Q] HOX Memory

I mistakenly uninstalled an app i was using. When I downloaded it again and installed, it suddenly says insufficient memory. What happened and what do i do?

Well... Clear up some memory and try again...
You can use "Clean Master" for that.

Another option...
There is another option, though it may be frowned upon by some here.
There is an app called lucky patcher, I found it while trying to find a solution to this problem some time back (300mb of space on device, not SD card and I still couldn't install a 1mb app). You won't find it in the play store though so you will need to google it, that has a fix for that issue. Under the app's settings there's a troubleshooting option. In that menu there is an option to fix the no space bug (Just read, under each option it has a description). It's worked for me on sense 4 roms as well as sense 5 roms. This is the only reason I keep this app lying around.
Hope this works for you and I don't run into any trouble for suggesting this...

Help me shoot trouble

Okay guys, last week I rooted my sprint gs3 to a basic root, no custom rom or anything. no issues. all i did was move google music folder to relocate to sd card. I was getting a error from the play store telling me the phone was low on space... I've got around 2 gigs available. Wasn't able to find much on a "fix" for this. In the process of trying to free up space before I realized this was a play store "bug" i deleted some apps, accidentally deleting chrome and google talk (two essential apps for me)
1. What can i do to fix this error?
2. Help me
3. thank you.

I have been having the same error with 10 gigs of storage left. Been looking for an answer.

@Tom. What about downloading the apps again?
@Whip. Did you had aosp roms installed before? If yes try wiping internal storage(backup to pc or sd first).
Both of you. Do you use Lucky Patcher?

If i uninstall apps they wont reinstall, specifically chrome, google wallet (this hasnt been able to update) so if i remove apps and go to reinstall they get the error.
I looked for odex files and i didnt find any from the deleted apps (chrome/voice)
