ROM? If you flashed GAPPS, version? Are you able to download just random .apk's from the net and not Play Store? Have you tried using another app store like Amazon or Samsung?

Gonna try another store see how that works thxs

Not sure if you have solved this yet but I was also having a similiar problem when I first got my Note 2 some months ago. If this doesn't help or you have solved your issue disregard it, hopefully it may be helpful to others in the future looking up answers to this problem.
It seems some apps can be installed incorrectly / get corrupted and this error will always come about no matter how much free space you have. It sees the old data persisting in your device and tells you you have insufficient space.
You can solve the issue if this is the case by deleting any stray .odex files in /data/app <- (this is in the root of your phone) You will need root access and a app such as solid explorer or root explorer (I would recommend solid explorer). You can find the suspect files by looking for any files in here that end in .odex and have no icon (just a generic file icon). The rest of the good files will end in .apk and have their respective icons.

Out of memory...Say wha!?

I just tried to install an APK from Root Browser and it says there isnt enough memory yet in my apps settings it says i have 1.8 GB left..
I have the exact same issue, I have like this:
==============================
System storage: 1.97 GB Free
USB Storage : 11.25 GB Free
SD Card : 29.81 GB Free
==============================
I'm on Stock ICS 4.0.3, rooted and debloated.
Can it be that one of the "bloatware" that I deleted can make apps misread the free space info?
Thanks for any ideas you might have about this.
This my be really stupid. But maybe it's talking about RAM?

@alphadog32 this was my exact assumtion when reading main title..
@OP Have you tryed wiping cache/Fixing permissions?
Side note, try a different app (astro, root explorer, myfiles, etc, & ensure 'unknown sources' is checked in security options,
Keep in mind, even root applicagions, if not running in elevated mode, can't even read /data typically make sure if its a root installer (most probable method is copyin to /data)
Ensure root mode is on, if not, that might simply be your issue..
I always have around 350 MB of Ram,
The odd thing is that today I was able to install any app I wanted, without any problems.
I didn't even reboot since yesterday. I have no idea what is different from 12 hours ago.
Thanks for all your help.

Okay lots of replies to reply to but..
No it was talking about storage space, cause it had a radio button to "manage applications" on the error window. not about RAM
Yes i wiped all caches and fixed permissions.
Yes i used lucky patcher (i believe this is where the issue was)
But i solved it,
I began just randomly browsing my data partition using root explorer, and i found a .odex file ( i believe generated by lucky patcher) and after i deleted that file, everything is working again
If it's not to much trouble, can you tell us the name of the file and where exactly is it?
Thanks

SD Card Reader No Longer Working?

My SD card reader seems to have stopped working today. When I reboot the phone, it states it is reading the SD card, and 1 second later it is finished. Now, I can't access any data on the SD card via system programs, music, gallery, movies, etc...
I can use ES Explorer and see and use contents on the SD card, so I don't think the SD card is corrupt. How can I check my SD card reader program and see if that is the problem? Does anyone have a fix for this issue?
Edit: I am using SleeperROM 3.0.0 and the only problem I am having is the SD card reader app isn't working on boot or after unmounting/mounting the SD card. I can access all files via PC or ES Explorer.

Ok, does anyone know how to reinstall the system card reader "software" that seems to be malfunctioning? I can't even access Titanium Backup because the system won't recognize the SD card even though ES File Explorer and my PC (when USB connected) will!

Guys, I've noticed this going on a lot lately across several devices and different platforms of Android.
I think something might be wrong, as in some type of infected app we're all using.
I can't think of any other correlation between the many people suddenly experiencing this all at once across several different devices, many different ROMs, and completely different versions of Android.
I had a .nomedia file magically appear on the root of my internal storage on my Nexus several times today, and even after removing it my media would not be recognized at all, as well as the file would return every so often.
Someone should look into this.
Sent from my AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus
I looked throughout the root directory and did not find any .media files.
Is there a way to "reinstall" the system SD Card reader app that autoruns when the phone reboots or the usb is disconnected after a file transfer?
Mine runs for only 1 second then states "media scan complete."
I am thinking my SD card reader app went bad today, if that is even a possibility. The CPU and ES Explorer recognize and play all files using non-system integrated apps (music, video, gallery being the system apps).
Also, all the apps installed to the SD Card are running fine.

Same here....... I downloaded paranoid android 1.9.9 and everything was fine until a reboot and all my pictures and music disappeared from my sd card......

After my backup boots up I can see my pictures and music again.... But not for to long...... What can I do.........?

From https://twitter.com/clockworkmod
"Released a fix for ROM Manager where missing directories were causing the .nomedia file to be placed in the wrong directory. This was causing missing pictures from the gallery app. Sorry about that! Fixed in 5.0.1.4."
So even though CWM can read the SD card contents and install a zip file if needed it is a CWM problem? My CWM didn't update until today. I will reboot and see what happens.

Just an update. After the CWM update this morning and a reboot, the problem seems to be fixed now. The only other problem was that all my play lists on my music app were messed up. I had to restore data from Titanium Backup in order to get them to work properly. All good so far!

MicroSD Card Issues

Hi, I have a problem with my patriot signature microsd 32gb on my 16gb Samsung Galaxy SIII which I use as a music and picture storage for my music player and camera
The phone is rooted and is running stock ROM and kernel
The problem:
1)when transferring music files while the sd card is in the phone, using a usb and explorer method of copying and pushing sometimes the write protected warning pops up, other times the file would copy but I could not find it in my music player/gallery, other times the file is present for a period of time but after a restart of my phone the file disappears.
NOTE: However, files that I have transferred using the microsd adapter and directly through the computer does not change at all.
2)On the default camera I have set up the external sd card as the default location for pictures, but when I take a picture sometimes the warning that "sd card cannot be located and default storage is changed back into phone"
3)On Android Commander when I try to push music files it always ends up as permission denied
4)When I try to copy music through the windows explorer this message pops up "the device has either stopped working or is not responding"
What I attempted:
I thought it was a formatting problem and so I tried to format the sd card using both my phone and pc into the phone's desired FAT32 format,
but the problem persists.
I have also inserted the sd card into the adapter and put the write protected switch up thinking it was a permissions problem
Is it a faulty card? or am I doing something wrong?
Additional Note:
1)I have both ES file explorer and Root explorer and when I attempt to change the permission on my external sd card which usually appears in ES file explorer as "rwx-rwx-r(blank)x" it always fails
2)When opening the gallery and trying to view some of the photos saved in the external sd card, it would appears as unable to load and just a black screen.
3)I also export playlists from itunes in m3u format and puts it in a playlist folder in the sd card but it would never appear when I try to see it in a file explorer, although using poweramp I can import the list, but the old ones that I have placed on the card is also present unable to find them or delete them in either the phone or the pc
I have really became desperate trying to solve this problem
Please help me
Try reformatting as exFat. Also I don't think you can change the permissions on the entire sdcard.
It could also be that the phone connects using MTP. There's an app here on xda called sgs3 easy ums. It will mount the card as a UMS device. Try transferring that way.
I think the sgs3 was intended to use the exFat format though.

That's weird. If it doesn't pick up your card then the problem might be more serious than you think. But how can you see the contents and be able to format it yet utilities like Easus and SDFormatter can't see the drive? Did you try disconnecting all USB flash drives, your phone or other devices connected to your computer first? Check explorer and see to it that your card is the only one connected with a drive letter. Go to SDFormatter, hit refresh and make sure the drive letter is chosen.
SDFormatter just fixed the problem I was having.
You said you were rooted stock. Did you do any debloating or anything else to it. I doubt its the case but maybe something needed was accidentally removed.
Have you tried running fix permissions in recovery or TiB?
Also, how did you root? Was it recent and did the card function properly before? If you used odin to flash a rooted fw, maybe it was a bad download?
If all else fails, you could try reflashing the full stock fw with Odin.

3)So by reflashing the full stock fw do you mean I need to factory reset? or Is it possible to download the stock fw somewhere?
Sorry I am new to android, so please bear with me
Sorry, coulda sworn you could run fix permissions in Titanium....
You should be able to do this in cwm or twrp recovery. May be in the advanced menu. You can install the recovery from Rom or Goo Manager app.
Factory reset wipes all user data taking you back to an out of the box state.
You can get a pre rooted version of the FW from here.

This is the original LE6 version though, if you want the updated LH2 version give me a few min to get the link for you.

I had a patriot 16gb class 10.. when it works.. it's awesome should be called class 15 or something lol. However there were three times it randomly corrupts.. lost all my pictures and crap. A format usually fixes it. After the second time... i learned to put my photos to default internal memory. The third time i was no longer able to format it... couldn't move files in or out but i can open them?! I went with the high amount of 5 star reviews but should've listened to them 1-2 star reviews. They don't do well with phones. And your problem is a problem that occurred to me every now and then. Remember to back up your card frequently before it crashes!

ah, problem
so I tried followed the link and the steps to flash the fw
but I am encountering this problem of when odin is done and the phone is restarting the "process android.process.acore has stopped" along with touchwiz and poweramp.
I reflashed twice and the problem remains
I even cleared dalvik cache and regular cache and fixed permissions with cwm and rebooted but it still did not fix the problem
Do I have to factory reset now?
:crying:
I can't remember which app it is or if this is the one requiring factory reset. Can you boot and get to settings > app manager? If so clear data on google services framework. Maube also touchwiz home. (Can't remember for sure)
You could also try using the built in file manager in twrp. Go to /data/data and look for those folders and delete them. May not work but worth a try.

ya thanks for the advice but it didn't work
From what I can tell the only solution now is to do a factory reset
anyways so why did the fw not work for me?
i even made sure i downloaded the correct wind one
at least now maybe with the factory fw i can make sure the external sd card works?
so factory reset is done
external sd card still does not want to work via "my file" folder creation
I don't know is it broken? I would like to try another sd card but I need to find one
although I did test it with h2testw and no error message popped up.
It wrote and verified fine.
Sometimes left over data can cause problems with a newly flashed system. Odin didn't wipe your apps or data and something was left behind that conflicted with setup or something like that. Sorry it came down to that man.
Ive heard a few times over the past couple years of sdcards working fine in one device but not at all in another. It seems rare and I'm not sure why it happens, but it can.
Only way to know for sure is to borrow a known good sdcard and try it. If it also doesn't work then its most likely a problem with the phone. If it works then you probably need to replace the card. Maybe take it to the store where you got it and let them try. That way if it doesn't work you have a witness that can note your account of the issue.

Have you checked to see how many NANDROID backups you have made on
your internal sdcard?
If you have made many of them, then that could be why you you get that error.
Each nandroid takes up over 3GB of space on your internal sdcard which is
where these large games store all their data during the instillation process.
The three most space consuming items are nandroid backups, movies and videos.
Good luck!
so where exactly could I find the back ups with a file explorer app?

It's usually in a folder with the same name as your recovery. Example, TWRP or CWM. If you used ROM Manager to handle your backup it's hidden. mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup

External SD Card limitations of TW KitKat

The other threads cover the installation and issues with respect to it and other general discussion, but I am most concerned with this one issue. The limitations on using the External SD card and the ability or inability of developers to work around it could determine if it is worthwhile to update or not with the official based firmware.
An example is currently being able to have large (almost 2 gb) GPS map files relocated from internal SD to external SD with build prop changes - will that even be possible with official KitKat?
I would like to see users post their results in this area alone here, Otherwise they will be spread all over the other threads. I have not flashed it yet due to installation issues, but when they are sorted out, this one problem are may still make it not worth the effort.
Update - it looks like there may be an easy fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607215
If that does not work as-is on M919 - probably will be one soon that does.
If you edit platform.xml per this post it'll fix Titanium Backup (and I suspect any other program which has issues writing to the extSD):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617921
I prefer to edit the files when I can as it helps me learn a little about Android, I can be certain of what's happening and I can revert by removing the edits or restoring a backup of the file.

Thanks - looks the same as option two in my link above.
Makes me wonder if it is that easy, what ll the fuss is all about (references to a major developer organizing a majot campaign to blast Google, etc.)
Again - as US TMo users get the new OTA going - please post your experiences with respect to the external SD.
Here's an example of why this is a pain. I'm on the new 4.4.2 TW build and I have uTorrent installed. Before any downloads would go to my 64gb ultra microSDXC card. It was perfect since I have ample space. Now, I'm no longer allowed to save to extSDCard and every new download gets an error. The fix was setting the download location to the download folder on the internal storage, which Kit Katy now recognizes as External primary. It doesn't say it but the coding dictates that no app can write to the secondary external data source (your microsd) outside of the folder it created during install. This means you get app updates and IAP and that's pretty much it as far as SD cards are concerned.
Now my torrents go to my internal storage which only has about 2gbs left instead of my 64gb with 17gb free. Why don't I just use a file manager to move the files you ask? Because they cannot write to external storage as mentioned before. Really not getting the logic here Google.

This issue has been helped but not entirely fixed with the preceding fixes. However, working pretty good now overall. Was able to switch download folder from internal to ExtSD in some apps (like Browser) but not in XDA app and torrent initially..
However, was able to move download folders and files over from internal to ExtSD OK.
Also, changed permissions on Browser, rebooted, and then was able to change download folder to externalSD. Ditto for uTorrent - downloading to ExtSD now also.

This issue has been helped but not entirely fixed with the preceding fixes. However, working pretty good now overall. Was able to switch download folder from internal to ExtSD in some apps (like Browser) but not in XDA app and torrent initially..
However, was able to move download folders and files over from internal to ExtSD OK.

Probably not. You can try to get into a file editor and make the change, but this will most likely require root access.to do so.
I have not bothered to follow the rooting threads, as I only had to root when I first got the phone. so I don't know if there are any that will root without affecting the KNOX counter. If you are not KNOX'd - just root.

It does require Root to change that file.
As far as I know, currently there isn't a way to Root the stock 4.4.2 (NB4) without tripping the Knox flag in the bootloader. The old Saferoot method that worked with the MK2 version doesn't work with NB4.

Mostly Google. They want to push you to their cloud with this, just like their push to get you off using your credit cards on Wallet and to use their otherwise useless "Wallet" on their Wallet apk
Thank Samsung for KNOX though
