Suddenly, any applications I try to install or update won't go through no matter what many tries. I've tried rebooting, uninstalling and trying (failing) to install. Is this happening to anybody else?
EDIT: And just like that, everything is working fine again.
I have the same problem with some apps.
Cant install from the market. The same goes for *.apk files can’t install from sd-card.
And have problems with updates, at this time google maps und Gun Bros .
My device is rooted and I have enough free space 22 Gb.
You could try deleting the cache from the market.
Also, I had the same problem on my EVO and i deleted anything in the file .android_secure (Made a backup just in case) and that fixed it for me. Maybe this will work for the A500
I had this and it tuned out to be low free space on the internal 32gb storage.
looking into this further it turned out that some app had chewed up about 18gb of internal storage.
Reluctantly I did to do a hard reset. OK so far!

What was the name of that app? That's a Red Flag if I've ever seen one
You folks would not by chance be under 1gb of free space in the internal storage, would you? Honeycomb apparently has an issue with breaching 1gb and apparently this scales, based on storage:
16gb = 1gb wasted
32gb = 2gb wasted
Pretty silly and is just as silly as the 150mb data/data folder screw up with the Incredible. At least the Incredible was HTC's fault and not the OS itself.
Hi all, I had this fault with my Galaxy S2 google dns server settings were the proble
Hi all,
My fault was this and you have to go into the router and in the dns settings manually put in Primary 8.8.8.8 secondary 8.8.4.4
then save those settings then reboot the router this should fix your issues.
Hope this helps

That also happened to me. What I did was update to a later Android Market version, by downloading the apk online and it worked amazing and better than ever. I don't know if you're on the latest version, but give it a go if you're not and if this ever happens again can't hurt, if it makes things worse you can always uninstall the update.

OK...I have searched and did the tips provided...
I do not play games but my daughter has two on the device but I keep it clean with the few apps I want. I had facebooks linked but I unlinked and removed the data. I cleared cache with Astro and downloaded AndExplorer to view the internal memory and del some large wallpaper files in internal. Also did mange programs to clear other cache. I do show the HTC mail folder at about 95MB but cannot find it...all my mail is set to save to the sdcard.
The device sdcard & phone storage app never reflects the internal memory size never changes 748MB total & 636 available space . I am lost is this a 2.1 DINC issue? I am on stock OS and rooted. What else can I do...
I went through all of this and the only thing that worked was a hard reset

I was thinking the same....I hope the 2.2 works out better...this is very frustrating
So the device has 6.06GB of memory but I cannot use this for app?? I do not under the rom space vs the phone space...
If I could store apps on the SD card would this eliminate this issue?
I got this error message appears in the right lower corner of the screen: Low on space.
I check the storage of xoom, 29GB was used by apps. Then I check the storage used by each apps, none of them used more then 25MB storage, the total should be less than 250Mb.
could anyone help me about this issue? Thanks.
Do you have any media on the device?

There is no media in the device.
29GB used by apps??? What apps do you have installed?
This is obviously an error on how the hardware is reporting available space to the device. Not totally sure how to fix it....
Huh, strange one. Maybe do a factory reset? Definitely a problem.

It seems that I have no other choices.
Wow I don't know if there are enough apps in the market to fill over 29 GB.
I I just got the same error out of nowhere. 29 gig plus use by my apps. I load up the apps and the biggest one is my gallery with 1.9 gb. There's definite problem reporting somewhere.

Delete some of the more "low rent" apps. Probably bad programming throwing the xoom off.
I just wanted to confirm this just happened to me yesterday as well. I had just checked my storage (aprox. 1.5gb media/2gb apps) then crashed out for a quick nap. About an hour later I awoke, rolled over, grabbed my Xoom and discovered I had the same dreaded memory notification that has plagued my Incredible. Checked storage and suddenly had like 28gb in my apps! Market quit working because of this as well, couldn't update or install apps. I found no other solution other than factory reset as deleting the apps one by one did not free up the space. The last 2 apps I recall downloading were friendstream and tablet keyboard. I was thinking an errant app was downloading all sorts of stuff as I was connected to wifi or perhaps didn't know how to properly utilize the Xoom's memory as it is a little different than your standard Android device. If this is a system OS issue as it is with my Inc, this is totally unacceptable and needs to be identified and addressed by google soon.
Anyone have any other ideas on what is causing this or how to help identify where/how exactly our memory space is vanishing?

Happened to me too. Factory reset 'resolved' it, but didn't really do anything to figure out what the root cause of the issue is... I went so far as to uninstall all the large games on my Xoom and no luck.
Just plugged my Xoom in this morning, first time in a couple of days and my storage is full. I've calculated all the apps I've got installed based on the 'Manage Applications' reported storage usage and with all the apps I've got installed I'm at about 1.5gb, yet when I go to 'Storage' in Settings it reports I've got 11gb of apps installed. My normal storage usage hasn't changed, I've used about 16gb with music and roms and such, but somehow magically I'm using 11gb of storage for apps that it can't actually find... What do I do? Any suggestions? Never had anything like this happen on my Droid so I'm pretty lost.
edit: It's also keeping me from installing anything at all or even updating apps... Pretty annoying.
Just a guess but did you take application storage onto account PR just the application itself. 10 Gig seems excessive for application storage but some games have large files.

The game data for all my games seems in line with the games I'm playing. In the 'Manage Applications' menu, it shows aggregate total, including application storage.
I just uninstalled all the big apps, still nothing. Astro didn't help me figure anything out either, I've got absolutely no idea what's using 11gb of storage now, I certainly have less than 1gb installed and I've only got 2gb free.
Wound up backing everything up and resetting it to defaults... Have no idea what happened but I'll be pretty annoyed if it happens again.

That sucks!
How did you go about doing your backup (and restore)? Are you rooted?

From the market, download an app called DiskUsage. It provides a visual breakdown of all of the data on your device. It should be fairly easy using this app to identify why and where all of this used data is coming from. Hope it helps.
Hi!
Yesterday I found a new icon with exclamation mark on taskbar. Can you believe - it says - my DHD's internal storage is almost full (around 35MB was still available)! This is very weird as you know - DHD has around 1,1GB usable internal storage and it should be A LOT. After couple of hours another icon appeared - now the internal storage was completely full. It seemed very strange, because I haven't installed any new apps during last month. I deleted browser cache and removed some bigger apps, so I achieved around 60MB free internal storage.
In the morning - guess what - yes, the internal storage was completely full again! Tried to find big files, recent files, but didn't find anything interesting. So I decided to remove some more apps. Again, I achived around 29MB free storage, but as you can imagine, it decreased a little at a time.
Next step - I decided to remove my mail account (IMAP) and this finally stopped memory leak. Then I remembered, that around week ago I needed a mail, which was sent to me about 3 weeks ago. So I changed the mail preferences to download all mail during past month. This is about 500 mail messages - not too much IMO, as I left the message download limit unchanged (50kB per message).
Right now I don't have any mail accounts, but still have only 20MB free internal storage. Can you please tell me how to get clear of previous mail cache without hard reset and how to avoid this problem eventually?
Cache Mate in the Market will solve your problem
Thanks, but as I'm using official Gingerbread, I don't have root access...

Use Quick App Manager from the Market. The clean cache function of that app doesn't need root.
How much space it needs? Right now I have 43M free ibternal storage, but CacheMate says - installation unsuccessful - not enough storage...
what apps have you installed to your internal memory? and what size memory card are you using?
Hey dude, i using accleaner to clear my cache. It use very small size of your internal and allow to move 2 app, try it and see does it solve your problem.

I have a rooted S5 w/ 16GB of internal storage, but I'm rarely able to update/download new apps. I have to scrounge for apps to delete for a half hour just to get it to let me download a new app or update an app. I have moved just about all the apps I can to the SD card (32GB, less than half used).
In the storage screen it says I have used 14.88GB in apps, and <20MB in everything else with "Free space" around 400-500MB. I usually have to get it to mid 500s before it will let me do anything on it. To make matters worse, somehow the apps I uninstall keep reinstalling themselves.
My problem seems to be this big "Applications" thing - which isn't right. I have some large apps, but they keep all their data on the SD card (like podcasts with PocketCasts). On my applications manager, from top down in size - facebook @ 190MB, google play services at 156MB, google app at 134MB... dropping off fairly quickly after that, so no way its 15GB worth.
What am I missing? Do others constantly have this problem? It is getting ridiculous! No reason that I can see that there should be a big bunch of stuff that is counted as used when it isn't.
Some things I've tried:
I heard about something the dumpstate/logcat, I cleared it but nothing got better
I used adb to set the default install location to the external SD card (I forget the exact command), as far as I can tell it is still trying to install in the internal SD card.
Any suggestions or more information needed?
EDIT:
More information thanks to DiskUsage (forgot I can download APKs - which install fine). It shows my internal SD card breakdown as 10796MB overall, 2612MB app data, 7815MB "System data", and 340MB free space (plus some other misc. that makes up the difference). I don't have a great understanding of how this is partitioned, but I'd imagine the ~16GB has 5GB off limits for ROM stuff? Then what is taking up nearly 8GB as "System data"? Is this normal?
EDIT 2:
Looks like it was creating duplicates in data/app (on a lot of phones I think this is data/app-lib). I used root explorer to purge the duplicates, and now have nearly 3GB free instead of a couple hundred MB!
I have the same problems but I use DiskUsage from the Play Store. Most of the time it's my cache for the download manager has several gigs of wasted space. Clearing cache fixes it for me.

I'll check that out the next time I am able to install an app but I should mention I also tap the "cached data" in the storage manager thing (in settings). Usually doesn't work I also use CleanMaster, which seems like it works, some times.
EDIT: Just checked it out, that's awesome! I have been looking for this kind of app, I use WinDirStat on windows that does something similar.
