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??

If you want to increase your phone memory,you have to learn about your phones basic developments at first,like-ROOT AND UNROOT,CWM...etc...coz you are new at now...
Otherwise you can use the trick by sgyGURU for increaseing your internal memory by moving and clearing cache of the apps..

Space issue

I have a 64GB SD card and have moved all the apps, pictures and Music/Video to the card
However my internal storage is showing I have only 0.96GB free.
Is this how it should be or is something wrong with my S4?

If u remove game data u will have to download the games data etc and all ur half game will be lost
But if u can root then there is app folder mount which u can use to shift games data etc to Sd card and free up space

Re installing may not be complete soloution as even in that case ur data will still land up at internal memory only
However u can try Reset once and re install all freshly u muyte get some space back
Rooting will be a solution it also has a little risk I suggest read more abt it google is your friend
Plus rooting will void warranty
If u are ok with that then mention the model number u are using will guide you to the proper link for rooting

Ok thanks.. maybe I should just root. I know how to do this already. Model is i9505.
Quick question does this stop OTA updates from working?
Maybe I should flash the latest firmware (MH8) via Odin, root plus reinstall everything

If you root your phone u will not get OTA
u can flash Pre Rooted firmware which will allow you to get OTA

Scratch that then. I think I will just return the phone.
I just do not get why I have so much space taken on the internal storage. I have checked every app which I moved to the SD card and it shows sd card app and it sd card data for example Asphalt and Real Racing
Only the stock apps/bloat are using internal storage space.

Try moving apps to sd. Without rooting Samsung should letnyou move some of the apps to sd. Also, move everything you have, including pictures from whatsapp and whatever to SD in order to free up more internal space, since only on it can apps be installed.

"I only have Facebook and Messanger". It's like you said i have 2 apps worth almost 1GB.
Use alternative for those 2, use facebook via browser.
If you really love those apps than install facebook with messanger built in by Zonik to save space

But there is no move to sd in the option. that's why if ever i want to root my j5 in the most easiest way if possible only.. the rom of my phone is only 8gb :'( i just only remember my friend said that if my phone is rooted i can install a certain app to help me transfer all the apps that keeping my internal mem low.. and disable all bloatware.. that i don't really know..

That app no longer can be used on marshmallow. It did work on lollipop. Btw some apps are ok to be moved on stock samsung rom. Just go into settings>apps>storage section of app>change storage>internal/sd
