Hey everyone. I have a question regarding updating my whatsapp. I have a 2 GB SD card with lots of space and am currently using the PAC ROM by old droid. I have Gapps light.
When i try to update whatsapp it comes to a certain percentage such as 12% then it says installing. Then it stops and gives me an insufficient memory error. I reflashed the ROM and gapps again and still i get the same problem. I also cleared cache for the play store and google play services and tried to update but still get the same error. When i first installed whatsapp it was fine but when i try to update i can't.
Thanks.
i think you should backup ur whatsapp messages then uninstall it , then install the last version of whatsapp

I don't mind my msgs getting deleted. I tried that but now i'm not able to reinstall it! For some reason i'm able to install and update other apps which are around the same sise but not whatsapp.
dont install older version and then updating it...try downloading directly from play store and make sure you have enough memory in your phone because whatsapp gets installed in phone memory and not in sd card memory..it doesnt matter if you have enough memory on your sd card..
Doubts kill more dreams than failure ever will..
I had the same problem with whatsup you just have to un-install it and than install it. :fingers-crossed:

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

Is there any way to stop play store from updating to latest version be oz old version is fine for me also stopping and clearing cache but n luck
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.....

Hey I have a Droid 3 with Steel Droid 5.3 ICS
I hadn't had a problem for months when yesterday i updated Handcent to 4.4.0
Then the next day they released a new update to fix some issue (4.4.1). This update wouldn't install because I had insufficient memory available. I unistalled Handcent and deleted all references in Es file yet some apps just won't install
Now this occurs with other apps as well but not all apps won't install.
As for memory I have plenty
internal app storage: 571MB used, 1.4GB free
running/RAM: 267MB used, 176MB free
internal sd: 5gb used, 6gb free
external sd: 15gb used, 15gb free
I have uninstalled apps with no success, I even tried installing an old version of handcent yet that didn't work either
I have searched endlessly over the past two days.
all suggesting either a bad market update (now its google play though)
or to use apps2sd, but i clearly have enough space
This is the only place where some1 had the same issue and solved it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6240715&postcount=5
I tried changing the permissions but it didnt work or maybe I did it wrong, can some1 help?
Same problem here.....

Hello!
I had the same problem I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 just running stock ICS, but rooted. Handcent updated itself...presumably from 4.4.0 to 4.4.1...however as it was installing I noticed i got the same message about "Error, insufficient memory available" I have plenty of memory available ( i even uninstalled another app, to make sure).
This morning I rebooted my phone and Handcent has gone from my phone completely. I have tried installing it again through Google Play - but have had no success.... I keep getting the same insufficient memory message.... I have deleted any traces of Handcent from the phone, but this hasn't helped.
It's annoying because the reason I installed Handcent was so that I could received MMS properly, as the default app didn't do it (certainly from iPhone owners anyway).
I still haven't found a solution but I restored a nandroid backup from two weeks ago and now all apps are updating to current versions, no problem.
The only change I made to my system was adding Google Now for ICS but I had already tried reverting from that to no avail.
good luck and i guess this is why we make backups
Possible solution....
Okay may have found a possible solution... unfortunately I hadn't backed my phone up (I have now!) had you rooted your phone? I had rooted my Galaxy s3 i9300 through the method on this forum - Using Odin and flashing the PDA part with the rooted Tar file Incidentally I also got the insufficient memory error installing another update to an App...
I had also noticed that the SU access was acting weirdly... Titanium Backup said it couldn't access the root file, however luckypatcher could and CPU Master could??
I reflashed (rooted) my phone and tried Titanium Backup again and it obtained access. I then tried reinstalling Handcent and it installed fine, as did the other App I was having difficulties with.
Whether this method works for others, I don't know... but thought i'd pass it on
Thanks
Hey ppl. I'm getting an "error insufficient memory" problem while trying to update whatsapp. I've already cleared the cache for google play and whatsapp but still it shows up. I installed another app which was 4 MB and that installed fine. So what should i do? The whatsapp update is 9.3 MB and i have 35 MB free on internal memory. Using PAC ROM.

Delete useless apps and wipe dalvik-cache, then try again
I did that already. I have loads of space dude. It's some problem with google play but idk how to solve it. I already cleared the cache for google play but still it's not letting me download.

Extrat the .apk and install it Whatsapp 2.10.361
Oh ok thx. Another problem. I cleared cache & data for google play and google play services. Then I was trying to install doodle jump(20 mb) i still had loads of space. It finished the download and said storage is limited and then "invalid package file" so it didn't download it. I never had this problem before. Is it because of the ROM? I'm using Link2SD also.

well, I guess the problem might be caused by Link2sd, you need to check and to manage correctly the app and your sd-ext partition even the apps you have moved to the sd-ext partition, be careful with the apps you move, some of them need to stay in system partition in order to work properly
my advice?? Don't use sd-ext partition to avoid problems, I'm sure you don't use all your installed apps, so you can try to delete this useless app or install it, use it and do backup with TB and uninstall it, when you need it again use TB to restore the app and data anyway you can continue using your sd-ext partition cofiguring the manager apps correctly, (If I were you I'd use int2ext script, it's the best way to increase your memory without troubles and chaotic configurations )
Did a search but could not find this issue and cannot post on dev thread for ROM so i posting here if wrong place i sorry.
OK the issue, after updating to 3.0 of ultra i cant update any apps as it keeps spitting out "Insufficient Storage Available" which is a crock of ..........as i have 1.57GB out of a total of 5.37GB available on internal plus external sd card with 12GB available but not relevant as apps on internal with 1.57GB available. Have updated to 3.1.5 but still the same and also unable to install any apps, yet i have less apps on it now than prior the 3.0 as i was generally running under a GB space before. Memory running at about 300MB out of 840MB
Any help or pointers or criticism for not searching far and wide enough to find a answer gracefully accepted

Clear playstore datas in settings/apps/all
Also reboot a few times, wipe dalvik cache and cache.

Thank you kind Sir for your superb roms and your help.
I did as you said but am still having the same problem.
Anything else i can try?
Have you made full wipe before installing eXistenZ??
Have you made backups via CWM Recovery before??
For example I have made a backup with CWM recovery which wasn't seen by other recoveries or system himself.
I had to install CWM recovery once again and only this one seen two backups which take me about more than 2GB internal storage.
After fresh install (with full wipes, also internal storage) fresh eXistenZ + 22 apps which I have installed after I have 4.05GB free space on internal storage and no problems with install anything.
Narrowing it down a bit

Hi thank you for the reply,
I have not used CWM to create backup's i have only ever used Titanium but the issue is slightly different as the amount of free space is correct.
I think i have narrowed it down somewhat as i am able to install apps from Play store that have never been on the phone before the issue appears to be apps that are already on the phone can not be updated, i have uninstalled ones needing updating except for Chrome and NDR Utils as it wont allow me to uninstall them so i have frozen them for time being, i then rebooted and tried to reinstall them but even with them uninstalled it is still spitting out the "insufficient Storage" error
so my thinking is something is being left from uninstalling that is causing the issue as like i said above i can install anything else from Play store that has not been on phone before, for example i installed links2sd after it spat out the insufficient storage error for a previously installed app i tried installing again i have plenty of internal storage available for apps and it letting me install stuff that not been on phone before but wont let me update or reinstall stuff on or has been on phone before.
After doing some searching i found others having similar issues with different phones and roms etc but thus far all the solutions to those have not worked for me.
I know i could just easily wipe and start a fresh but to me thats defeating the object and takes so long even with all the backups etc, it just a real PITA to start afresh so i sooner search,read,beg,ask etc etc and exhaust every other avenue before admitting defeat and wiping.
