This is what i get when i tried to install "Pocket Legend" on mi SGS; then I reached to install another app, but when i tried back with the game i get this message again.
I'm on miui rc8, does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Would that be because you are out of space on the /data partition?
Try removing some unnecessary apps. Also note that some games will download extra stuff from the internet after you install it, so you will have to have enough space for that as well.
i forget to write that i have 1,2 gb free

Today when i was planning to reinstall Flash because i want to watch FIFA, i found out that i can't install it. it tells me " Sorry, there's not enough space to install this item." So i went off and uninstall a few apps. Now i have 33.32 MB of available space in my internal phone storage, still i cannot install any app. not even tiny update. I tried to do a recovery but it didn't help. Does anyone know what's wrong with my phone? Thank you in advance!
P.s. i have froyo
Yeah, you need to clear more space. Remember to clear your unwanted cache, especially your browser cache.
Have you tried rebooting yet? Could be as simple as that. Were you trying to update it? Or install from scratch? Try uninstall and reinstall instead of updating. If youre on custom Froyo ROM and had enabled aps2sd, try aps to internal mem.

It did this to me. I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it and it worked.
Thanks for all your responses. However, i don't think its just a specific app, i tried to download any new apps, and it still says there no space. In addition, i tried to take pictures using the stock camera app. And then it tells me that i don't have space in my SD card either!!! i have 3.69gb left in my SD card!
p.s. i don't have apps2sd
hi guyz

Hi Nasir..
the lack of space for applications after installing MIUI ICS has been driving me crazy. The latest ROMS for MIUI should have Apps2SD already installed. Here is a link to a comment in the MIUI thread in how to install it..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22503462&highlight=apps2sd#post22503462
Now that being said.. It works great BUT even with the apps now going to the SD card, Android still reports the disk size wrong meaning you will get insufficient disk space errors even though you actually have a ton of space to install.
Here is an Article by TexasIce explaining Apps2SD and its command lines.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21222591&postcount=1374
He states in there that running 'install' does move it to the SD card and even shows you how to make sure BUT he states that Android will still report the wrong disk space. I followed his steps and verified that my Apps folder was now on the SD card but my phone was still telling me I only had 30mb left and kept running out of space when trying to update Dropbox and Google Maps.
But further down he talks about the xdata command you can use. If you use it, it will actually begin to report your data size correctly allowing you to update and install more applications. Its experimental and it could cause some slow downs on your phone but I was desperate at this point. I ran it and it rebooted my phone (took a bit longer than usual) but the Android System is now reporting the correct amount of free space and I was able to update my apps and still have a ton of space left.
Try Mount2SD

Thanks I learn much about working of a2sd also a big problem of having much space but saying no space available is also solved thanks for helping me.....

Hi,
I'm having a bit of a problem with my RAZR i. Say I try to install a 50MB app on my phone, while I have 540MB of space on my internal storage. It downloads fine; but when it starts installing, I get an error of some description, like 'Insufficient Storage Available'. Now, though, even though the app isn't installed and is therefore no use to me, I now have 490MB of space remaining on my phone storage.
This is starting to become a real problem. I've had a lot of space gobbled by this, and my phone storage is getting really small, even if I uninstall almost all my apps and move everything to the SD. Is there any way I could kind of clean up these uninstalled apps?
Thanks!
Did you try to reboot the phone? Maybe that clears up the space.
Just tried that: it didn't make a difference.

Try SDMaid.
I had the same problem with a huge game (what was 1gb) and it downloaded only 900mb.
I have no idea where to which folder it downloads it, I could only solve it by deleting / moving some other apps, downloading it fully, let it install and then uninstall to get the full space back.
If anyone knows to which temp folder it is downloading that stuff, please let us know
Cleanmaster! Its awesome

I tried to install an app and got the error message "There is insufficient space on the device". I looked at the device memory and it shows that I have used 5.02gb out of 5.51gb, but when I select all files (including hidden files) and display properties, it shows I've only used 772.67 mb of space. I don't have that many apps installed and I totaled the amount of space that the apps use and it is also under 800 mb of space. I can't find where the discrepancy is in the space available. Any ideas on where the missing 4gb of files are?

I looked in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443267 but it's not just a particular app that is giving me problems, the device itself thinks it's full.
SOLVED! Thanks to @tmittelstaedt

The ram in the phone is flash. In order to prolong flash life there's a memory manager that does what it can to prevent the same areas of flash from being repeatedly written and deleted. So flash does not work like a hard disk where when a file is deleted then the space is immediately rewritten. Instead, the flash manager tries to spread new writes across the flash. On occasion a bit will go bad in the flash. The flash manager will also lock that bit out. All of this is done at a hardware level that is below the filesystem's visibility, it's done in the hardware of the flash controller.
It sounds to me like something has gotten messed up in that system. The flash controller is reporting lots of free space then when the OS is trying to use it the controller is reporting space in use. If it was my phone I might try running an app like SD Maid and see if that worked. But if it didn't I'd back it up then factory reset then reload the apps.

First deinstall one or two apps so you can install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobile_infographics_tools.mydrive. It will give you details how your sd is occupied.
ES File Explorer has an "SD Card Analyst" under tools that will show you where your storage went.

That is probably what is was, I did install and uninstall apps. I ended up doing a factory reset, reinstalled all the apps, and now have 2.7gb free. I'll keep SD Maid in mind if it happens again!

Thanks very much for the follow-up I'm glad it worked. Unfortunately this nonsense about "phone flash defragmenters don't work" has been repeated so often that a lot of sorcerers apprentices that don't understand hardware have misled a lot of people. Phone flash defragmenters don't work because the file system used on flash has no direct mapping to physical areas in the flash, because the flash's on chip hardware manager does that. But just because they don't work does not mean that flash cannot get fragmented and it is good to know that a factory reset that wipes all data does defragment the flash.
This has happened again! I uninstalled an app about 2 weeks ago and noticed that I had 2.01 gb free. I went to do play store updates today and all the free space is gone! I haven't installed or uninstalled anything since about two weeks ago. Frustrating. I'm going to try the SD Maid that someone suggested earlier. I really don't want to have to do a factory reset just to get my free space back. That seems like such a world war III fix...
