Play store insufficient storage - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey I've searched all over Google etc, but last night I tries to download a 2mb app but it said insufficient storage, but yet it let's me download a 80mb game.
I just don't understand what it is I can install several but there are a select few that says there is not enough memory.

which app?

Try clearing cache n data of play store in app settings

i had this problem too just about 2 weeks ago, i just restored and backed up from it and it was back to normal

Or try adding another google account and try to use play store from it...

I've tried clearing cahches and I've tried backing up and restoeing, and its a few apps.

Does anyone have a fix for this I've tried all sorts, I've uninstalled many apps but it still says the same thing for most apps I'm trying to install.

I managed to solve the problem. If anyone else has tbis problem Dow load Android Terminal Emulator
Type 'su' and grant then
Type pm set-install-location 0,
Which changes the default location

0 = auto
1 = internal
2 = SDcard (which probably won't work on JB)

Yeah i tried setting it to 2 for external but it says insufficient storage even though I have 23gb free

JB doesnt have native Data to external SD. You can try remove your G-account, reboot and log in.

It works on both 0 and 1 but wanted it on 2 looks like its not going to be like that just glad that I can install apps again

I just told you can't move apps to your ext SDcard, because JB doesn't support it

I know what u meant lol my previous post was basically saying it was a shame I couldn't.

Google Drive doesn't work

When I try to view a spreadsheet from my Google Drive App it gives me the following error and won't open: "Unfortunately, Android System Has Stopped." PDFs and image files open, but not spreadsheets.
Has anyone experienced this, and if so, any idea how to fix it?

Try reinstalling it or clearing all data from drive and try again

I uninstalled it, restarted the phone, and reinstalled the app and it still doesn't work.

Do you have esfile explorer or other file explorer installed? Try to uninstall to see if it works.

Yeah, I've already tried uninstalling ES File Explorer and it still doesn't work. I really don't understand what could be causing it since it worked on my Galaxy S4, LG Optimus G Pro, Note 2, Note 1, and HTC One.

I've read somewhere that disabling download manager in ES file explorer fixes the problem... I forgot where but I remember I had the problem before on my one x and it fixed it. Try also clearing the defaults for drive and es

Polaris Office 5, but it's disabled. I've tried it both enabled and disabled and it makes no difference.

Try Quickoffice. It's a google product. Let me know if that works.
Quickoffice opens the spreadsheet, but it's a read only PDF.

Ah...I would definately fish around the app store for something that might work.
Yeah, I've been looking. I have resorted to opening them in Chrome, which works Ok, but not as nice as actually using the Drive App.

I FOUND THE PROBLEM!:good: It was an app called Loader Droid. I uninstalled the app and now the files open in Drive. I will email the developer and make him aware of this issue.

Internal Storage Capacity

So I keep getting a message after downloading app that I only have like 1.17mb left of internal storage. I have Uninstalled large apps, yet still get it, is there something I need to look for in Root Explorer to delete as far as cache goes or is it just the amount of apps installed?
Nah. It's just a weird Play Store thing. I ignore it.

Ah okay I was worried and wasted so much time in the past doing factory resets lol

[Help]Connection Error

I don't really know what I did, but whenever i try to go to the playstore i get a 'no connection error'. Clicking the retry button doesn't help. I've tried editing the host file (which worked on my galaxy s3) but i can't seem to find the host file in my root folder. In fact, my whole root folder is empty.
My playstore isn't the only thing that was affected. On my youtube application, i am able to browse videos, but whenever I try to play a video, i get the 'there was a problem with the network[401]' error. On many games like six guns, dungeon hunter 4, where there will be game files download frequently, doesn't work as well. I just get a network error whenever i launch the game. I have problems with websites such as adfly and other adhosting websites. I can't connect to those web too.
Im on a LG-D958 rooted.

Just get Link2SD (PlayStore) and follow the instructions.
Or GL to SD

That's exactly why I recommend GL to SD. It's the only program that doesn't require you to partition your external sd card in any way.
You can also try FolderMount, but if you wanna have more than 2 binds, you have to buy it. Whereas GL to SD is free and fully functional. Paid version just removes the adds, which for me is almost nothing

Yes. Now I see that you've got other stuff there as well other than games. Tap the button in the right top corner and select "move data" option. Now you should see all of the programs, which are movable to the external sd card. Just select the ones you want to move and hit "Move".
If there are apps on the list from the picture you posted, which you don't want to be there just tap and hold the app's name and select "Remove" option. Your app is still on your phone, but it won't show up in GL to SD and confuse you if it's on the internal or the external memory.
REMEMBER to always launch moved apps from GL to SD app or they'll just want to download their data again if they are launched the normal way!
Does that mean then the all is on the SD card or not then I don't won't to open that app up every time just to go on my other apps if you know what I mean

If you want to open the apps on the sd card you need to open them via gl to sd. When you want to open an app on your phone memory you open it from the app drawer.

Cool I will get the update now
