insufficient storage

Im running on regaws rom.tried to update handcent right now n i keep getting this error "installation unsuccessful.insufficient storage" ...i have enough free memory..tried looking for info on google,but nothin...any1 else experiencing this?

Yup get this as well for certain apps

Are you using a2sd? If so, do you have space on your SD card?

nope, no a2sd here

I use a2sd with plenty of room on my card. I got this error with Meridian update. Uninstalling and reinstalling solved it.

Try booting into recovery and running other> fix uid mismatches

Try uninstalling and then install.
It happened to me too when I tried to update it. This worked for me.
I'm using a rom based off dc.

problem again with market!!

well it gave me the error Insufficient Storage Avabilable on Damage Control 2.09.1 so i downgraded to 2.08.1 and i downloaded about 60 apps then all the sudden it gave me the Insufficient Storage Avabilable error again. I thought it was fixed. It gave me the error after updating an app and installing another app so i uninstalled them both and cleared the data on the market but that didnt work. I dont know what to do to fix this, anything will be apprciated

I'm having the same issue "phone storage space is getting low". Also using damagecontrols latest. How do you clear the data on the market? I'm new to all this. Thanks

no, on my sd card storage it says i have 64MB left

"removed external sd card"

Ok, I have a Samsung Fascinate.
Rooted, CWM, ROM Manager, Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, SetCPU, ASTRO, JT 1000 voodoo kernel with animation.
Ok the problem is and I am almost certain that what caused it is flashing JT's 1000 kernel over top the original 0.2 JT voodoo kernel. However I had read in the forums that people have done this with no problem and I believe in the install thread it says you CAN do it with indeed no problems. However soon after doing the flash everything was working great and I took a couple pictures at dinner which is how I know it was working. Later last night I went to take another picture while out and it wouldn't let me because the SD card wasn't being detected.
I have a sd card reader but not with me and won't until I get home later tonight but I figured maybe until then I can get some help to how to fix it for when I do get home.
I have took a 8gb mini sd from my girlfriends HTC Eris and put it in just to see if it would read which it does perfectly fine. However you plug my 16gb back into the phone and it doesn't even recognize plugging it into the phone.
Any ideas?

all the views and no replies?
any ideas would help guys!

Sounds like your sd card is corrupted. Did you try the card in another phone? Try to reformat the card.

the back up that I made and all, wouldn't that be on the sd card though?
I would think trying to save the card would be a better choice at first eh?

anyone else?

If the card works in another device, then I would wonder if the problem could be voodoo specific, such as the 0 internal memory issue. As far as I know, the only fix for that is the complete voodoo removal process, and a wipe in both stock recovery and cwm.

I tried to put the card into my sd card reader on the computer and it wont read it...assuming its a bad card. When its in the phone the sd card reader slot heats up too a massive HOT temp really quick within second and doesn't do anything. I guess I am gonna unroot using another sd card and take the phone to verizon and be like wtf....

I un-rooted and am gonna take the phone to the verizon store.
I plugged a 1GB from my old phone into the sd card slot and re-flashed CWM to see if I just removed the kernel's if maybe that would fix the sd card but I am almost positive its the sd card that is fried somehow...But it put the phone back to stock except it was rooted...not sure how that happened but i guess everything was on the sd card that I had done???
So confused but basically I am just gonna goto the store get a new card when they realize mine is bad and then re-do everything...Just never flashing a kernel on top of another one again whether people say its safe or not!

I can assure you that had nothing to do with your card. Sometimes you get a bad lot. I order about one a month for various things, and have had to RMA here and there. I swapped the one my phone adopted with for an 8gb class 10 anyway, because the stock are class 2.

Lol. I mean to say the kernel flashing cannot cause the sd card to fail. The card was probably bad to begin with. A bogus card will simply fail, sometimes after functioning fine for awhile.

oh ok, makes sense now...however a bad sd card pretty much screws me over because that is what held everything on it including the kernel and such along with all my apps?

No. the install file for the kernel, but that installs it on the phone. Apps are stored on the internal memory, not the sd card. Pretty much, it just holds your music, pictures, application data in some instances (not the app itself), and any files you need to flash.

So when I get my new sd card tomorrow and load launcher pro back onto the phone, my apps should still be on the phone??
what if I can't even download launcher pro due to this problem of it not letting me download an app because it says I don't have enough internal memory available...

Whoa.
Now that problem is the internal memory issue, not the external sd card. That is voodoo related, and the post about completely removing voodoo addresses it. I ran into that once, and it took about soften minutes to fix following those instructions.

sd read only problem

Hi Im currently running wildpuzzle 0.7 and have an issue where the sd card becomes read only. un mount mount do not help, app can not have write access like camera for instance. Under windows file permissions appear ok.
Any clues?
Regards.
Problem resolved by connecting USB, using windows to check drive errors on card.
Thanks.
I would still love to know what may have caused it..........

dont think so pal, happened to me with stock card from phone :/

True, happened to me as well, and, only formatting the SD solved it. This happened to me using the stock card.
This happened when I was playing around with A2SD, and had created an EXT partition using ROM Manager. It worked well for a fe whours, then these errors started creeping up and I had to format it. Could be something wrong there....

"Application not installed"

I don't know when this started happening, but I can no longer install apps. When I try to install an apk from the sd card, I click install and it immediately gives the error message "Application not installed."
I was having problems installing apps from the market, as well, and read a post that suggested unmounting the sd card first, then trying to install the app from the market. This does work. However, I can't very well unmount the sd card then install an apk from it...
I did use adb to change the default install location to the sd card awhile back, but I just reset it to 0 (automatic) and I still get the same error message. I have plenty of room on both the phone and the card.
What's wrong?

This very well may be a different issue altogether, but some phones that have done this in the past have just required a cache clear in the market. Just go settings > applications > market > clear cache
Again, probably something else, but have seen this issue in alot of different android phones.

Exactly same for me from today (maybe yesterday). HTC Desire, original ROM. WTF? I was already thinking about virus, but probobly its stupid idea. What's going on?
I cannot install apps from SD nor from Market.

I had an issue with this too kept getting "unknown reason 18" put new SD card in and no problems since

Yea, your sd card is dead. A new one will fix the issue.

It's probably not a dead sd card, but more likely to be a single file.
You need to delete smdl2tmp1.asec from the .android-secure folder on the sd. You can't see this file with an on phone file manager, so you either have to use terminal emulator, or connect to a pc..

How are you looking at the .android-secure folder because as stated earlier, you cannot see the contents from the phone, you have to mount to a PC...
