[Q] Market - not enough space error; can't find fix

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

[Q] Cant download any Apps!!!!

I've been running the Blazer ROM (best one so far) with no problems until I updated to the latest version. For whatever reason I cant download apps from the market. Everytime I try I get an error box saying "Error downloading _____ (insert app name). There is insufficient space on the device." I've tried everything. I'm not a noob either and I know how to flash. I've wiped and wiped again. I checked all my settings too. I even tried downloading from my computer to my phone. This is fu**ed. Hopefully someone can help. Thanks in advance.

This same thing is happening to me. There is still clearly space on both the SD card and the internal memory, and yet, it says there is insufficient storage on phone. It is rather frustrating. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

go to settings. go to applications. then manage applications. find market and click on it. clear data. open market and try again. let me know if that works

Lol guys you just have to flash a different kernel. Try the new one steady just put out. Im pretty sure phantom fixed this though. Do u have the latest version

[Q] error code installing app

Hey guys,
Im trying to install my paid, SwiftKey board app/upgrade from the free version and i keep getting an error code window popup after download & long-install
Unknown error code during application install: "-24"
ive tried uninstalling the apps, and folders in sd card; are there any other files (like certificates) that i should try deleting? if so im unaware of where the correct directory is.
will a logcat help?
also ive noticed random apps installing by themselves when i wake up(if im connected to wifi all night) ive scanned, still cant find it
im on CM10.1 UNNOFICIAL -ace- SR1 perf kernell

If you never wanted those random apps, it sounds like you picked up a virus (likely from installing an app from a bad source, eg not the play store)
I would recommend a full wipe (sd card and everything). Then put a rom back onto your sdcard and flash it again.
This will (hopefully) ensure removing any trace of the virus (unless the source if your computer, this is possible, but unlikely)
------
A less extreme option is to download a free antivirus from the play store (if possible). Then you *may* be able to remove the virus. Once you remove it, try doing a cache+dalvik cache wipe, this should fix any problems of apps not installing.
If you get stuck, or neither of the above works, let me know

Have you installed gapps?

An error has occured. Unknown error (code 14). Could not open database

I recently got a 64gb card and decided to try and get the extsd2internalsd script running on my rom. I got it working but I kept noticing my files kept getting saved to my sdcard so after reading abiut why I tried formatting the sd.
Well since then ive had nothing but problems. Ive installed stock and multiple custom roms but neither my extsd or sd can read properly. The corrupt video and picture files instantly. I can see my files in es file manager but in astro I get this code 'an error has occured. Unknown error (code 14) could not open database. What is weird is that it does still save. It saves app and app data fine and music through the play music. Im at a loss as to what it is and how to sort it.
I have formatted multiple times and cleared caches and permissions.
Has anyone come about this before or know how to correct it.
Edit - when trying to download a tv show through utorrent it starts downloading then shows 'error ready on file system'

App error downloading from the play store

I'm having an issue downloading games form the game store it will download install and when I open the game it will say I need to download additional file because the download was corrupted. I've tried over and over to reinstall the game game and redownload everything just to get the same error. Using file explorer the file is there. Idk why it keeps saying corrupted .I'm on 4.4.2 cm nightly 12-20 using the dpk kernel Picts attached of said error after the game offers to download missing files.
Edit: to get some questions answered before they are asked. Tired on several WiFi and mobile connections. Games worked fine on stock and 4.1.2 wicked sensations. Why not update to latest nightly? tried that same result except no games and no video camera. I'm on 12 -20 clean install. Why no backups? I deleted the backups thinking they were corrupted because of this error. If I go into file system all game files are there just seem to be recognized as the game as corrupted. Puzzled
