[Q] Failed to move application. Not enough memory" when trying to move applications.

[Q] Failed to move application. Not enough memory" when trying to move applications.
I've been using my google skills to try to figure this one out, but unfortunately, I did not find a single helpful post. I'm hoping someone can help.
When trying to move an application to the internet SD card, I get the error "Failed to move application. Not enough memory".
Problem is, I have 1.7GB left "On phone" and 11.3GB left "On SD Card". I'm using Apps2sd to report how much storage is left and to determine which applications can be moved.
I have read that if I had an external memory card, it would work. But I want to know if there's something that can be done so that we can move them to the internal SD instead.
From what I saw on a Nexus One, it appears that other Android phones don't have an internal SD card. So it would make sense that it moves it only to the external SD...
I just want input on this "problem", I'd really like to know why I can't use my 16GB of storage for applications! And also, enlighten other people that might come across this.

same problem here, any work around this issue?

Anyone? C'mon folks! Why is this happening? How do we fix it? Could it be because of the lagfix? Using Froyo JL2 on a rooted and lagfixed (OCLF) I9000M.

Same here. As the previous posters, I am unable to move any app to SD.
When I try (through Manage applications), I get the dreaded "Failed to move application. Not enough memory" even if I have plenty of memory.
Is this a common problem? Are we the only ones experiencing it?
I am running JPY, updated through Kies after disabling the Voodoo lagfix and then doing a factory reset.
Please please help. At least let us know that it is just us and that it works for the rest of JPYs out there.

Received my replacement handset from Orange (UK) today. The GPS is locking on soo well, functions properly now.
I flashed straight to JPY via reg patch, tried moving an app to SD, get the same error message.
It worked on my old handset 2.2.1 JPY also but with subpar GPS. Today i receive a new handset with a different problem lol.
Any ideas...anyone??

Hey all .... the move to SD is only valid for EXTERNAL SD card, NOT internal.
I successfully moved some apps over after I slot in an external SD card for my SGS. Tried this after I read somewhere the 'apps2sd' tool is designed only for EXTERNAL SD.
Hope this helps....

So is the internal SD only for data storage, not apps?

I found a solution!
I had the same exact problem as you have, and after some rummaging around the interwebs I've found an answer -> SDMove

Just for the sake of information, make sure you don't have the phone connected to your PC via cable. Just like how it happened with me.

Also try SDMaid in market. It cleans the sd.

same problem
I have the same problem and I have an external SD card. Captivate ATT android 2.2 (for now)

Using sd card as main phone memory?

Hi there,
I recently got an 32 gb sd card but have just realised that apps such as Deezer will only use the phones internal phone storage.
I think my only option is to somehow get the phone to use the SD card as it main memory - will this work? Will I have to root my phone?
Thanks

...also, what would be the easiest way to root the phone? Will motofail2go be the best way and should it work with Jelly Bean?
thx

mount sd
Ok thats easy, what i used was this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928509 (only works on ics) and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123369 (onlt works on jelly bean) just make sure to have recovery installed. Those are for root. And for how mount sd card i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123369 (just look for your model)

thanks - but I think you copied in the wrong link for the sd card part?

so I rooted and used this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2022727
and it worked...(I see 30gb data through camera/deezer etc)
however...
I can no longer access my Settings!! any ideas!? It just says settings cannot be loaded

sorry..i can access settings...i just can't access the storage part of it...should i be worried?
If it won't cause any other issues, I can live with it...

[Q] Swap Internal With External Memory On Last JB 4.3

Any Way To Swap Internal With External Memory On Last JB 4.3 ??

any help here ? same question

I'd like to know this too
Hey,
I've looked through the forums but don't seem to find a definite answer. I have a rooted (with towelroot) Xperia V, with latest official nordic update.
So as we know, the big problem with Xperia V is that no matter how big external SD card you have, you cannot install APK's on it, making you run out of space real quick. The 2GB internal extended memory shows as "SD Card" to most software and the installers. Also, many apps don't let you explicitly define the location for file saves, so the 2GB will be used for caching etc on many occasions. Moving software to "SD card" in app settings as you would normally do on Android actually just moves between the internal extended memory and phone memory, but not the actual SD card.
I want to install my APK's on the SD card, and only keep minimum stuff on the internal 2GB. How do I do this? Can I make the phone not use the 2GB and instead use the 32 gig SD card I have in my phone? Can I somehow move the already installed apps to the actual SD card as well, or do I have to reinstall them?

Why does my phone say there isn't enough space to install an app when there is?

After shenanigans yesterday I've pretty much got my Moto G 2014 LTE running on Marshmallow.
\the problem I have now is one I've experienced a number of times before, on various devices and Android versions:
Why is it that, despite the storage screen showing that I have plenty of available space, am I not unable to install some larger apps?
Settings > Storage shows internal storage 1.15GB used of 5.52GB (as well as SanDisk SD card 890MB used of 14.59GB)
But when I try to install Injustice: Gods Among Us (1.12GB) i get the error message App requires external storage: "Injustice: Gods Among Us" can't be downloaded. Insert an SD card or USB storage with sufficient storage, and try again.
This app was installed prior to upgrading the OS, and while quite large, should still fit on to my device.
Can anyone tell me what causes this, what I can do to get round it, and also, if there is a way to make the OS see the SD card as part of the internal memory so I can install apps directly to it

On Marshmallow, it is possible to use external SD card as internal but don't do it.
Why ? Because you have a too small SD card. This option doesn't merge internal and external, it just sets the external as internal. So you need a 8gb or more SD card (or you will get less storage than before)
Maybe the play store doesn't want to install because your SD Card doesn't have enough space to install the game. I know it is weird, but sometimes even if you want to install to internal, it checks the SD card's available memory.
You can try to wipe the play store cache and data, and if it doesn't work do a wipe cache from recovery.

Try getting the apk file by google'ing it. Install it. Open it then check if it is downloading files or not.

Sorry that should have read 14.59Gb for the SD card, so loads of space

Tried to download the apk and it just days no SD card. I know its there, still shows up in settings and shows apps installed on it. Must be a dodgy card or something, but now i cant work out how to tell the phone to stop using it for apps and install internally unsteady (told it to use it as internal when I did set up, not sure how to go back)
EDIT: OK worked out how to get it to stop using the SD as internal and formatted it for data, and seems to be installing the game now. So I think that pretty much solves my immediate query, but still interested as to why android sometimes says insufficient space despite it reporting in settings that there is plenty

Yeah sorry for my mistake I have read 1.xxgb instead of 14.xxgb
Android reports the storage to be full as soon as XX% of the storage is filled (maybe 90%, I'm not sure). Then if you have a 100gb device, even if you have 10gb free it won't allow you to do anything.
That's weird, but that's how it works.
Have you tried wiping cache ? It sometimes solves the problem.
It is better not to use the format as internal storage except if you really know what you are doing.

Help needed! Galaxy Tab A SM-P580 - SD card as internal storage issue :(

Well, I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but my tablet (with TWRP, Magisk and its ExSDCard Access Enabler module) finally recognized the 400GB SD card I dropped in it and allowed me to format it as internal storage. Then the fun (not really) began. It showed the card as internal storage. Under SD card it says not inserted. OK... but the internal storage says it has 511GB of data out of 512GB. Again, it's a 400GB card. There is about 150GB or so on it... my books library and that's really it. So that's one issue.
Secondly, I understood that using it as internal storage would allow for apps to be installed on it. I understood that to be "automatic" but maybe I was wrong? As I am installing more apps I'm running into error messages telling me I do not have enough space and that I need to uninstall apps. So I fired up AppMgr III to see what's going on. I have 15 apps on the SD card, 4 apps that are shown as movable, and 65 apps that are being shown as "Phone Only". And the 4 apps that can be moved - will not move. I've tried but after 20 minutes I have just cancelled the process.
So, where did I go wrong? How do I get this SD card to truly act as internal storage - i.e., allows for apps to be installed to it? I have searched in here and on Google and am stumped. HELP PLEASE? Thank you!!

Did you ever figure this out?

Hi. No, I have not. The tablet is still telling me I don't have enough space to install anything. Yet when I go into Apps, the apps will show, for storage, xxMB / 361GB of internal storage used. So somehow it knows about the space, but something else is preventing me from using it as it should be used. HELP???
