"Installation unsuccessful" Market error messages

Hi there,
For the past couple of days, I've been getting "installation unsuccessful" error messages whenever I download anything from the Market. The apps are downloaded, and Android tries to install them but fails every time. I've gotten successful installations on one or two occasions, though, seemingly at random.
I have 22MB of internal storage left, and I used to be able to install apps with only 10MB, so that's not the cause. And I have around 2GB on my SD card. Funny thing is, I can't even install some .APKs of beta apps that I know should work, because I've installed them before. I thought the issue was solely related to the Market, but the Market isn't involved when installing apps from "unknown sources", or is it?
Does anyone have any suggestions besides doing a hardreset? Anyone experiencing similar issues?
Cheers

I had the same issue with my Desire. After i searched on the internet, i found a lot irellevant sollutions to this issue.
What i did? I did a backup of my SD card, format SD, restore settings to default and that it.
It was a hard decision but i couldn't find any other solution. After that, everything goes normaly, even today!

Thanks for the reply! I still hope I don't have to do a hardreset, but if nothing else works, I guess I have to go ahead and wipe that thing.

Have you tried the fix_permissions script? You can run this from the Amon Ra recovery or go to the Market and download ROM Manager. It's under the Utilities section of ROM Manager

I guess that's only for rooted devices?

OK, I give up. If no one has a solution to this, I'll just hardreset the darn thing

OK, I give up. If no one has a solution to this, I'll just hardreset the darn thing.
Is there a backup tool that can restore all your apps in a way that the Market will recognize them under "Downloads"? I restored apps from a backup once, but that was pretty pointless since I no longer could enjoy updates through the Market without having to re-download every single app.

Titanium Backup has a "Market Doctor" to fix your Market links, but you need to be rooted.
If you aren't, I'd suggest syncing with AppBrain, which at least means you won't need to search for all your apps on the Market again.
Regards,
Dave

Have you tried connecting your phone to pc in disk drive mode and doing a scandisk of SD card.
I had the same problem (card was mounted as read-only)
After I done scandisk it found and fixed the problem.

No, I had not tried that since the SD card appeared to be working. I used to get quite a few "SD card damaged" messages until I let Android format the card. I tried Scandisk now but it didn't take care of the Market issue unfortunately. Thanks anyway

But it does indeed seem like the SD card somehow is to blame. Those few apps that I actually have been able to install have been installed to the internal storage.
I think this problem started when I for some reason decided to clear the Market's cache and data. Thing is, I have set Android to install apps to the SD card by default (adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2) and that might have something to do with it as well, although it worked fine for three weeks.

I got this when I installed the unofficial OTA update for 2.2. Only fix was to try another custom rom.

Have you tried to go into manage applications and then clear all data for the market app ? This has solved some similar problems for me in the past.

Yes, I cleared the Market's cache and data, and I actually did that before the issue started as well. I just hope a hardreset will fix it all, going to erase everything later today

For the record, I had to not only perform a hardreset, but delete the .android_secure folder on my memory card where apps are stored to get the Market working again. I could probably just have deleted the .androd_secure folder, but then I would have lost all apps installed to the SD anyway
Works like a charm now.

hey did you find a solution to your problem???
if you did please tell me

But erasing that folder removed all the apps you had installed on your memory card, right?

Help! Cannot write or delete from internal memory!

Here is my issue I cannot create folders or delete anything on the internal sdcard.
Background info: I just got this gs3 its on boost mobile. I am on NJ3 I used CF-auto-root method to get root. Everything went fine updated Supersu installed a bunch of apps including Titanium Backup and made backups of all apps on the phone. Everything finished fine. I have not deleted any apps yet nor have I installed a custom record very or any ROMs its still!l stock. I have a 64gb sdcard installed which is new and empty so I wanted to put my backups on it but could not. While looking for a fix I noticed that even the default INTERNAL sdcard had a red folder on top with "cannot write to this location" . so now I cannot use TB. It gives an "insufficient storage" message and fails
I then went to ES File Explorer and tried to make a folder on the internal card and could not, also tried to delete and could not !! I have Googled this problem and come up with a number of solutions but most are very old threads. Can anyone give me some help fixing this? The phone seems to otherwise work but I fear it will only get worse with time.
edit I can install apps though even now.

Oh I left out that I did recieve an update for Security policy update. Which I understand has something to do with SElinux. I also found a fix for what appears to be my problem related to this it is;
SU
restorecon -FR /data/media/0
I decided to try it but get a message that -F is invalid
syntax is restorecon (--nRrv-- )
From what I can google the version of restorecon I have on my phone does not include that switch!!! Just my luck, can anyone help me figure out if I can change the binary to an updated one so I can use this?

Well I am disappointed 45 views and not one reply, oh well.
I eventually bit the bullet and did a factory reset from the settings menu, it cleared up the issue and I still had root!! Google reinstalled all my apps and SuperSu disabled Knox for me. I also unchecked auto update for security updates so that Samsung does not send another one to me without my knowledge. also disabled autoupdate for Samsung apps.
know everything is golden again.

Getting Error Code 963 / 907 from the Play Store? Read here.

Hello all,
Recently Google updated the Play Store to version 5.5.12 and HTC users on M7, M8 and M9 have all experienced intermittent errors when downloading from the Play Store. If you've encountered an error code 963 / 907, please read on.
The following is a bug report capturing the output from the Google Play store upon reaching this error. The below was tested while downloading the game: "Monument Valley"

The error above suggests that the problem is related to inadequate permissions to the file system however, it's generally caused by having a microsd card mounted in your device. For whatever reason, the latest iteration of the Google Play store will attempt to save portions of a downloaded application on the SD card. Once the card has been unmounted from the device, the Play Store functions as expected.
I was able to rid myself of the errors above by performing the following steps (*Note I can't guarantee that this will work for everyone, this is still work in progress)
1) Clear the application Cache / Data for the Google Play Store and Google Play Services through the Application Manager in Settings.
2) Reopen the Play Store, navigate to Settings and scroll to the bottom of the page, if you're on build 5.5.12, you're OK to proceed. If your device is on an older revision, please wait a bit until the Play Store automatically pushes the latest build to your device.
3) Navigate to Settings -> Storage and select: "Unmount SD Card"
4) Navigate back to the Play Store and attempt to download updates, or any other application /game you were previously having issues downloading.
5) Observe the results, if the problem goes away, great! If not, try physically taking the SD card out of your device, rebooting and following all of the above steps in order.
If you're still encountering Error 963 after unmounting your microsd card this is generally due to the incomplete binary blob files (*.obb) residing on the device's internal storage. To correct this, please follow step #1, then go back into the Play Store and attempt to re-download the application in question.
*NOTE* The above fix has been tested on a Verizon M8 on 5.0.1 and a Verizon M9 on 5.0.2 stock firmware.
*UPDATES*
Google is in the process of collecting bug reports and presumably working on a fix. If you've been affected by this bug, please contact Google Tech Support by clicking HERE. The more people that report this the quicker a fix will be issued.
It's been confirmed that this bug isn't specific to HTC devices, it's also been reported on the Samsung platform.

error 963
it's the SD card an update cannot update data that is stored in the SD card I wrote this yesterday
---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------
to fix this problem we move the data back to the internal memory and then do the update and if you want to you can put the data back in the SD card

That's not the entirety of the problem I'm afraid. This doesn't just pertain to previously installed applications requiring updates. I understand your workaround however, this is also occurring when attempting to download applications / games which haven't previously existed on the device, therefore there's no pre-existing data to move. Unmounting the SD card in this particular instance will yield the expected results of the Play Store successfully installing the application to the device. It's also worth noting that this bug will not be observed on smaller files / updates. If you have an SD card mounted whether it be Fat32 / Exfat and attempt to download anything of size, for example a 300-600mb game, it will fail with error 963. Once the SD card is unmounted, the play store works as expected.

same thing happen
i follow the procedure and it works but....
after installing again another application in play store (error pop again" the .error(963"))
it only works after you clear the cache or clear data but after you install another apps error pop up again since playstore automatically updated itself. but i have no problem in updating my previous installed apps.
you must clear apps and cache or uninstall updates of playstore everytime you want to install new apps.
ps. i tried relogging my google account or changing to new account , unmount sd card format etc but samething happens it goes back to error(963).

Thank you so much
I have an HTC ONE M8 on stock lollipop and recently had problems installing apps from Playstore, it would take forever downloading and eventually have an errror code 963 on version playstore version 5.5.12.
Tried your suggestion about clearing cache & data from Play Services and Play Store and all apps updated immediately (I didn't have any apps stored on my SD at the time), I have unmounted and mounted the SD card and have since downloaded both apps which had previously given me that 963 code and all is going well .... Will kept you updated on any issues.
So thank you for again.

Now that you've done this testing, try re-mounting, re-adding your MicroSD card back to your device and downloading from the Play Store. Observe the results, are you prompted by the Error again?, If so, you might want to consider formatting the SD card from within Settings -> Storage. If you're hesitant about doing this using the built in utility, there's a plethora of open-source / freeware tools available for properly partitioning SD cards. After you've properly formatted the card, try again and observe the results. Make sure you make a full backup of all data on your SD card prior to formatting!
Note, the above has been tested on a Verizon M8 running 5.0.1 on both Stock firmware and custom.

I followed every one of your directions Except [*]Clear the application Data for the Google Play Store. I did not want to do that. (I did clear the cache for Google Play Store.) I tried with my MicroSD card unmounted, but it would not work. With my MicroSD card removed I was able to install 'Lara Croft:Relic Run'. I am so appreciative of your advice that I registered with xdadevelopers just to reply. Keep up the good work and Thanks.

Once you unmount the SD card (Settings -> Storage -> Unmount SD Card, you have to clear the Cache & Data for the Play Store and Play Services. This will flush all previously failed downloaded binary blob files (*.obb) for the application you're trying to install. Once you've done this, go back into the Play Store and attempt to re-download the application in question.
Let me know how that works out for you.
Thanks!

I have been struggling with issue for a while. Implemented all suggestions but to no avail. Finally, i found a work around which is -- when an update shows up for an app, just uninstall the app if it has been previously shifted to Micro SD card.
Do a fresh install of the app from play store. It will get installed on phone memory flawlessly. The move the app to Micro SD. I know this is bothersome but it is working and i don't see dreaded error 963.
Thanks for the help.

Thank you. This worked for me

I have been having this problem ever since Lollipop was forced to my phone. The app in question is Golf Star. It's currently 1.4gig and gets bigger the more i play/advance. The only way i can get it to work is to delete the app, then uninstall google play store updates, and re-download. Even then, once i close the app i have to go through the whole process all over again because it won't start back up until i do. I have reported it twice to google using the link you provided, but never got a call back(go figure). Going to try going back to kitkat to see if it works again, and hopefully it will be fixed in the new Lollipop update.

Update: Went back to KitKat 4.4.4 and everything is smooth as butter. Staying on KitKat until google gets their act together.

Similar Problem with Galaxy S 5
Thanks for your help, Cykhet.
I got the error code while trying to update Route 66, which I have stored on the SD card. I moved it back to device storage and the update worked without further problems.

Hi all,
This is my first message in this forum. But I often read this forum when I have a question and when google shows me the way.
I need to contribute in this thread because it is the most relevant one concerning the problem I have.
My phone model is Samsung S4 mini GT-i9195, android 4.4.2 stock from samsung, about 2 years of normal using without any problem and a great phone with a really good reactivity.
Since 5 days, can't send/receive SMS, or if I can do this, there is a HUGE delay (from minutes to hours, and there is some messages I never received.).
Firstly, I thought it was network problem or SIM related problem. So I asked my mobile network provider. Calls are OK, SMS messenger provider is OK. The problem is not here, and I still can't send/receive SMS with my phone.
Sometimes a reboot can't send/receive the messages, but ot all of them, only a few ones.
A few days later, another kind of problem : the play store throw 963/907 errors. At this time, I really thought this phone gonna make me crazy. I also noticed that my phone's reactivity is bad, it reminds me the terrible ASUS TF700T tablet I bought 3 years ago (before updating the ROM)
Google shows me this topic.
So I tested your method of cleaning cache and unmount/remount SD card.
MIRACLE !
10 seconds after unmounting the SD card :
- I received lots of SMS I didn't received.
- The SMS I tryed to send were just sent.
- I also received 4 notifications of a "information application"
- The reactivity is great.
- And when I clicked on the play store, it updates my applications that were not partially installed on SD card.
So what ? Why my SD card is slowing my whole android phone. Why now ? I use this card for more than one year. (Transcend 32Gb Class 10 UHS-I 300x)
Is my SD Card dead ? No I still can read the files and folder in it.
Is my SD Card will soon be dead ? Maybe...
And now ? I already moved many applications from my phone to SD card. I really can't unmount remount SD card when somebody attempt to send me a SMS...
Any comment or suggestion ?
tib

For what it's worth the OnePlus X with opengapps, also has same problem. Unfortenetly CM12.1 has no option to unmount sd card. Hope Google will release an update or is there another workaround. Thanks.

I've got a nexus 7 (2012) without SD, with cyanogenmod 12.1
How can I solve error 907/963?

Goolg play Store Error on updating apps
Hi. I had the same issue on my samsung grand 2 device after installing cynogenmod 12.1. For me the issue was, all the apps which I moved to SD Card were showing this Error:963 while updating. So I just move back my all app to phone memory. Now It's working like charm. Hope this trick work for you too

help shed light on build problems

If this is the wrong forum please direct me to the correct place but I have a few issues and questions.
I'm running 10166 on a 640, I don't know if I can update to the latest without a PC but I don't have access to one until October 30. Clarify if I can?
Another problem. Is there known issues with SD app installations? I can't seem to find a list of known issues for my older build, it runs great aside from some new problems I discovered since I just got an SD.
If I install an app to the card, which is the default option and is selected on each choice in Storage.. Some apps on the store wont install and tell me to change where I install apps. I do and retry, it says same thing. I'm sure that changing any of those options doesn't work at all. Sometimes the system loses the SD and it basically shows as not inserted, to which makes me restart and once up again, the apps on the card are all broken and tell me to reinstall, if I go to the store and click Open, the app works fine so it's a shortcut bug apparently. I can't even remove the card and try to install some apps that won't go on a card. Messenger is one app I cannot install no matter what I try since I got my memory card.
Other than this card issue and how ugly and slow the store is, everything else is great.
Oh one more thing, when I reset this build recently, it seems like backup and restore doesn't work very well? It definitely lost all my bookmarks how do I save them? It also applied a lock wallpaper I haven't had in 3 months, and I don't know what else it's supposed to back up but nothing else but texts and a couple random apps restored.
Whoever reads all this thank you for your time hopefully someone can help in any way, reddit sucks for adequate help.

First of all, you can update to any preview build without a PC
Later when RMT does release, which will probably be a previous build than the ones we use as insiders.
The SD card has been spoken about in numerous blogs and forums, some apps need to install on the phone and have no permission to install on SD card, in that case, change storage settings to let apps install on phone, install the app from store and them swap it again to SD card.
The store is a lot lot better on build 10536
Theres a bug on 10536 where apps that cant install on SD and only phone, WONT install, its a know bug which Microsoft is fixing

LG G4 : Unfortunately, camera has stopped

After boot loop issue with my LG G4 in February. It was replaced by the repair station without firmware and now with the firmware and Lollipop 5.1 installed with no updates available for Marshmallow.
Now I have noticed that camera crashes when selfie mode is used or front facing camera. This maybe the beginning of things going wrong again....
Can anyone recommend a fix. Phone is not rooted. And I don't want to use the very unstable Android 6. I bought this phone u locked via Amazon and unfortunately don't want to return it to them as LG has changed the serial number.
Totally stuck between a rock and a hard place as can't be without a phone for another 2 weeks.

Look for the camera app in the apps manager - all apps and try to clear cache. Test.
if that does not work, try clear data option above.
Test again...
had a similar problem with another device because i twiddle a setting. and lost the camera. The above fixed it. I learnt not to twiddle that setting again.

Hi, I had this issue and none of the software workaround worked for me. The issue is related to a defective hardware part, the power switch (B0181RDMM6). I replaced this and it fixed the issue. When this part is defective, it can hinder the call screen (meaning that when you dial or receive a call, the screen will not turn on for about 10 seconds) and it can also make the camera useless (meaning that the user will receive an error message on boot and when trying to use the camera. the error message is "unfortunately camera has stopped working". This is because the camera cannot work when the flash is used as a flashlight. It seems that when this part is defect, the phone thinks that flashlight is always on.
you can easily find the part on amazon at amazon.ca/s?k=B0181RDMM6&ref=nb_sb_noss
