System storage not increasing after uninstalling apps?

okay so for the first sew days apps2sd 2.5 was working on my phone. i had 124 mb free up from around 42mb. now today i install an app that was about 6mb and it took it away from the internal storage bringing me to about 114. i uninstalled the app, but it still said i only had 114mb free. i did it with another program now im down to 108. does anyone know what went wrong?

It's probably just the data for the apps, as that is still stored on the phone memory, and does not clear when uninstalling.

Thanks. that was the problem. I had to manually go into the tmp folder and delete them. There were about 15mb of apps in there!

keep in mind all data for your apps is stored there (/data/data), including your sms's, high scores, and info entered/stored in an app

Market issues?

I know there have been issues with the Market lately but this one is weird. Only one installed app shows up in my market now. All installed apps were showing up after the update and all of a sudden... gone... any ideas???

If you are using the 2.2 OS, it may be the test keys are not released to the market, so it cannot detect your phone...I think.

I'm thinking it may have been with the market as my wife's had a issue to and both phones started getting server errors but after a while loaded everything correctly

My market acts funny too. After I installed froyo today, i started downloading apps from the market. All went fine until I tried handcent sms. I keep getting network error, retry or cancel. No matter how many times I retry it doesn't work. Any other app downloads just fine.
It will also give me network error when i access my apps from the menu in the market, but not all the time. I installed wiping data and cache several times.
Any ideas?

Great here !

Having similar issues on my gf fascinate too. Installed froyo without a hitch and now market seems fine at first. Installed superclean rom and everything is good. Until I start using the market. I can download maybe one app, then when I try to download another it says unsuccessful installation. Tried different apps and got the same result. I did notice that if I turn off mobile data and run strictly off wifi then its fine and I can install any apps. I can't really figure it out until she pays her bill so it can actually get a 3g connection but thats odd how it interferes with it. Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance!

[Q] Issue with market?

I am experiencing something funky with my marketplace. Everytime I go to "My Apps" I get a server error. I can connect online and I can search for apps with Marketplace, it just won't show me my downloaded apps. Anybody having this issue? I think it started after installing AppBrain and uninstalling.

i had the same problem today but i didnt install anythimg.

Same problem here all day

Something similiar is happening with my marketplace. Im not able to download apps from marketplace on my phone. I haven't been able to do this for about 2 weeks. Sometimes It comes back up and im able to download but most times it won't work. I cant even flash roms anymore because I can restore any of my older apps.

Started with CM7 nightly 32 for me as well.

I just get a blank screen.

Same here searched the web and tried everything suggested : unmounted card, cleared market,cleared caches, logolged out and in google talk.
Works fine if u wipe everything, but any titanium restore of any app will break everything again.
Either I get "download failed" or "package is invalid"
Been happening for weeks.

getting it too but it works.

In other threads it was reported that Market was behaving erratically; group consensus, as it wasn't specific to any particular ROM/kernel/mod was that it was a Market issue and *not* a device/user issue. Convenient patsy to blame was the recent change to support the web-enabled Market and perhaps some ongoing maintenance around that.
HTH

Still happening to me. I started right after I rooted and installed Sprint Lovers ROM. Maybe its just a coincidence.
The market will either not download or will download and then return the invalid package error message. Happens on 3G, 4G and WiFi, even after I clear the market data and cache and reboot.
Very curious.

Few others to try:
1) Delete the .android.secure folder on the SD card. This is where apps you moved to SD are located. If you want to keep them, move them back to the phone before deleting this folder.
2) Power cycle Wifi.
Its probably an issue with market itself, but a few other things to try couldn't hurt.

My phone will start acting like it is downloading. But before it gets to even one percent the download just stops, no trace of it anywhere. Pretty annoying to say the least. However, every once in a while it downloads without a problem. Strange. Been happening about 2 or 3 days.

Folks, I fixed this on my EVO. The details are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910956&highlight=invalid+package

Android Market showing apps as not installed

Hi there,
For some strange reason when I go to my apps in the android market the list on the left hand side shows all the apps I have on my device, but it says that they are not installed! I have the option to install them again (even though they are installed) but when I press install it just opens the app instead but the list does not change it just still looks like it's not installed.
it's like the market is not recognizing that I have the apps installed. I know it seems very confusing.
Any body else encountered this problem befor?

Try clearing the app cache for Market.

This.
Randomly happened to me a few days ago. Said my mobile had nothing in it. If you try and install via web browser, it will say this error.

Tried clearing the cache but it's still the same. Tried installing through the browser but it's still the same, I get an error saying app already exists.
lists still show nothing is installed even though they are! lol!
This market really has some strange behaviour :-\

Just fixed it... I had to completely remove my Google account in the settings and set it all back up and re-sync everything.
Thanks for your help

Did have.the same issue but only lasted a little while until rebooted.
Just wondering, have you tried logging out of your account and re entering it?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Yes, i did login and logout from my account. I did solve my problem already though. apparently, when I played with the market tools in titanium I inadvertently linked several apps to google play that were not supposed to be linked in the first place. I had to go through them and unlink them via titanium and it fixed the problem. I downloaded MARKET FIXER to determine which apps needed to be unlinked.
Hope this thread would be of help to anybody who would experience the same problem.

I do wonder if they're tweaking some settings with the new play market... I did a hard reset (because I froze stock dialer.... Big mistake ;-) ) and since, on usual dpi settings that have always worked before, 200, 240, I'm getting the error my device is not supported... Googled it and there are a lot of new posts about this since the update. Dunno if it's related.
I do have titanium but have never touched the market settings...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

This is an old issue and it is caused by the Gallery and a few other system settings being mistakenly linked to the Google Play market which leads to the removal of the apps in My Apps section.
Indeed the best solution is Market Fixer as the OP has discovered above and the link is below:

You usually only need to remove the system app market links to get it to work. This procedure needs to take place after every firmware update too. Before the apps return after using the Market Fixer, you can download a free app and install it from the Market to refresh your apps.

Yes that works perfectly, but you have to know that now your google account is corrupted for life with those system apps liked to it. Now everytime you flash or update a rom, you will have to go through this to get back a functioning market... sucks big time. F***ing titanium backup, and me for being stupid and use it to screw with the market... oh well, I have good health so that is what is important, it's just a phone...
