[Q] market place tells me "no space" with over 2gb of internal storage left!
As some of you may have read on an earlier thread of mine where my phone got stuck looping Droid screens it has now come back to life.
i now have this issue that when i go onto market place to get my apps back, it tells me there is no space to install this. i have a 16gb card which has been partitioned as fat32 for music etc and ext 2 for apps. its formatted the same as before my phone died except im now using a 16gb card not 8gb.
why is it telling me there is no space when clearly there is?
thanks
Hi
I think you are confusing internal storage and sd storage.
If you use a program like titanium backup, it will show you on the opening page all the available storage you have (internal,sd and ext).
If you have no internal storage, it's possible you didn't use correct system partition according to the [OP] recommendation.

The Market did that to me earlier too. It's some kinda glitch. I was able to download the app after I just tried a few times.

You can use spare parts 2.1 Update (it's somewhere on the forum) to make App2SD+ install apps on the External storage (the ext2/3/4 space)
I think that you need to download a script that fixing this problem because the market application needs a links to the cache files.

latest version currently running on my phone is 2.4.4 and 2.5 is available in Developer's forum.
should be work.
sorry for my dumb question..but how does it work? i installed 2.5 on my rooted milestone with 1gb ext2 partition on sd card.
then i chose "install app2card/transfer apps"..it said that all apps were copied to ext2 and i can see it from the drive infos.
but now? i have the apps both in internal and external memory? i wanted to free some space in internal memory..how can i do it? i tried to translate the vietnamese page but it wasn't so clear (at least for me). any help would be very appreciated,thanks.

after transferring the apps, have you reboot the phone? if you've rebooted, open App2Card to see whether it is successful or not.
if there's no error message pop-up and the AppStatus: is showing "Locaton: SD CARD" then you're good to go.
to clear-up your internal memory, power-off the phone, remove SD card and boot.
(don't worry, it will boot) with something like the phone is reset. there, uninstall the apps that appearing in the list. (except App2Card) it will clear more space. (don't worry about the apps, it's already copy to your SD card).
once you've finished, insert the SD card and reboot.
then, click Menu>Wipe>Dalvik-Cache>Internal Memory
it will release some more space in your internal RAM.
hi thank you

You know that when ever a program refers to sd-card it means /SDCARD.
And this is the internal sdcard of the galaxy. The external sd-card is mounted at /sdcard/sd.
So friend how come i solve this problem..when i want to continue the installation it always says require at least 35mb memory card free but my memory card 4gig free..

This might be a form of copy protection where it doesn't want to allow apps to be installed off of an SD card. It sounds like you downloaded to an external card, am I right? Make sure you aren't confusing your internal and external SD (memory) cards, only use the internal memory card for downloads and installations.
actually it sounds like the [OP] already maxed out his INTERNAL SD, that's why the game is not installing.
Because Asphalt 5 installed fine for me just fine.
the games will not install to an EXTERNAL SD [OP] 4GB SD card because that feature only comes after fRoyo 2.2

You are referring to you externeal sd card!!
You can't use this card for installing apps. Only the internal sd card.
The internal sd card = sd card for any android app.

Are you sure you can can install apps to /sdcard/sd and not only to /sdcard?
so AllGamer u said that Asphalt 5 installed fine for u...can u tell me the step by step how 2 install the game on galaxy s..can i know ur installer is a copy or u buy original one from gameloft..mine is a copy from someone post...i've already several time try to install but got same problem..i confuse y after i allready install then when i open by click the icon it say must download some data else but it said require some space in memory card but my memory card 4gig free..several time i click retry but can't work...so can u help me regarding this prob please...
You can only install games on to your internal SD. If it fails to install due to not having enough memory you will have to delete some things for it to install. If you have a 4GB external SD you still cannot install apps to it as this is a feature of Froyo 2.2 only. If your not up for deleting anything you'll have to flash a froyo rom or wait until Samsung release the full official version.
easy, just click install
done
no special steps, it just installs automatically to the INTERNAL SD

No one has even asked him properly yet. Syuk89 is your internal memory on your phone full? You should have 8gb or 16gb on your internal memory.

So you have a stolen game ...
But you don't need to steal Asphalt 5 as it is available for free in the Samsung market.
Just select it there to install and everything works.
And of course you need some free space on your INTERNAL sdcard. Not the external 4GB you put in!!!
My hp have 16gig internal memory and 4gig external..i've do all u said but still can't work..i bought this hp from my friend and he said this hp allready upgrade to 2.2 beta and rooted... So if this the problem..n can i know how to make a screenshot like iphone so i can attach the pic

then you are probably in the wrong forum
This forum is for Samsung Galaxy S, not for HP
but even on a HP device you should be able to install the game as long as you are running Android 2.1
many Apps & Games are not yet compatible with Android 2.2
No hp stands handphone..my hp is samsung galaxy s19000.. So how..is i must format my internal sd..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Are you running one of the leaked FroYo firmwares for Samsung Galaxy S? <-- Aha! Yes you are! I should have read your latest posts more carefully.
Nova (a Gameloft game) would not install under this firmware for me because the SD card handling in the leaked firmware was broken. The game requests phone-specific data for external storage (in-game media, I presume) during install, but fails when it cannot find the external SD card.
For the same reason, I could not mount the SD cards properly, a number of apps were unable to access data on the external card, and even custom recovery images failed to see the card so I was unable backup or restore anything via Nandroid.
The only fix for me was to re-install a stable 2.1 firmware.
EDIT: Just to clarify, Gameloft games require external SD storage and will ignore the internal storage completely, failing upon install if no external storage can be found. In the leaked 2.2 firmware (all versions that I found), external SD handling was broken, and the mounting points had been changed (so the external card could not be found where expected, at /sdcard/sd).
Formatting internal or external storage WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE!! It is a problem with the 2.2 firmware leaks that cannot be 'worked around'. I even tried sym-linking /sdcard/sd to the external card and got nowhere... but then, I'm not entirely sure I was doing it right anyway. :S
I think its leak because its only beta..many apps force close..the hp also running a bit slow..i bought this samsung from my friend and its allready upgrade to 2.2 beta..so how can i back to normal firmware..or is that i must reset the hp..how??

Just format your sd and try again?

Maybe your partition is not big enough?
big enough. i say its 800mb free
Yes , You have 800 mb but on general partion.Check out how much space you have on ext partitions.
I check it in the easiest way without anyy software.I'm connectin WF to my TV and get in USB and there are few drivers to choose then check info about and here it is.
Or with some kind of software in PC
Internal 25mb free, External (SD) 837mb free.
I advice you to make a quite bigger Internal and then check out'em

Moving to SD does not move the whole app to SD many times. Internal memory is occupied too, maybe 25 mb is too less? What's the exact error msg that its giving?
Have the same problem.
As far as i know APP2SD doesnt use the ext partition (just the Darktremor Apps2SD does) - but the APP uses the Froyo/Gingerbread buildin function and just saves some amount of the Apps to the SD card.
Somehow it worked for me if i try it a 2nd time (or after restarting the device in begin - after it worked fine for me).
But sometimes if I install apps it also tells me - not enough space - and i have 37MB internal left - even the app is just about 500kb.... - anyway it also works if i just try agains ome seconds later.
Annoying - but perhaps also works for u

Could you also tell us how 2 make bigger internal !??! If I dont want to disasemble my device and replace a chip?
As far as i know u just can get bigger internal space by moving apps or systemparts to the SD card... and thats where he has problems.
(But yes many custom roms already do it a bit: dalvik cache,.. - but u need 2 reflash another rom.... not part of this discussin atm i think)
i didnt have any problems with 2.3 nightly 49# and other nightlys or even 2.2 roms. But with new 2.3 RC1 i have these problems. so im moving to other rom
Thread moved to general
I'm sorry if this has been asked already but I'm really new to all of this, I recently put the cyanogens rom on my HD2 and everything works fine but for some reason I can't download apps on the marketplace because it says Insufficient Space on device but I have a 16gig sd and 555mb still left on my internal?
go to your apps from the settings and move them (start with the largest) one by one to the sd card.

I've done that but for some reason it still says I don't have enough space is there anyway to make the sd the default place where marketplace downloads go to?
search the market for app2sd, you'll be notified each time you can move a new installed app to sd
Same issue
Im having the same issue. My phone says that i have used 19mb and i have 768mb free on the internal storage. But when i try to install something i get an out of space error. This is the first time that ive had this issue. ive gone as far as wiping everything with task 29 and starting over with a new rom. same issue. Any ideas?
Try to install a rom with ext support and create ext 2 partition with cwm recovery in magldr , it will work i think.
That could help:
1. Reboot into CWM Recovery
2. Advanced\Fix Permissions
3. Reboot
Hi!
So yeah i have a rooted i9505
When i select the option move to SD card it loads about a minute and says its on the SD card
But its still on the internal phone memory (well sometimes a few mbs of huge GBs games.
I also tried Link2SD and created a second EXT2 partition on my sd card and it said everything was correct
But even after "linking" the apps and it says they are linked correctly its still on the internal memory
How can i solve this?
I also already formated the card in the phone itself
Thanks

As for your first paragraph, it is working exactly as it is supposed to. In that regard there is nothing to solve.
As for the second, are you entirely sure that you're not merely viewing the symlinks that point to your sd card?

Well when i "Link" them to the ext sd partition and i look at downloaded apps or all apps it says 1 gb free
But when i look at "storage" it still says 1 gb free but the bar above shows almost about 1/4 free from 9.23 gb
So i think it maybe works but storage and apps still says its on internal?

storagemount also says 8.2 from 9.2 gb used internal
and ext2 sd 213 MB used but they were already used for formatting to ext2
and one game just dissapeared with Link2sd
i think thats why the bar shows less i cant find the game anywhere
Very strange
Edit
I rebooted the device after relinking in link2sd and now the dissapeared game is back in the list but now also the bar shows almost full so it was indeed because of the game
but i still cant get them on the partition while it says its there
