Anybody encounter this issue?
I checked the internal and external memory card, both still have more than 40% of free space.
anybody can help me?
Your phone memory is prob really low, maybe under 9mg or something like that
You might need to unistall some programs from the phone and on to your memory card instead
yes, it happens when your internal memory is less. uninstall some files on the internal memory. it happened with me after i installed lot of gameloft games...they install on device.
maybe you can try installing youtube on your storage card. the cab can be found in m.youtube.com/app
I get this alot too, go to file manager, windows, youtube, menu, edit, select all, back to menu, delete. And also go to Opera, and clear the cache
delete cache files in applications/album and google maps cache..also install the new gmaps 4.x version on the sd card and uninstall the older version on the internal memory..........it helped me and now i have 50 MB free space
[Q] The Play Store gives me this error message when I try to install certain apps: "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card." What can I do to install those apps?
[A] *After receiving the error message*
1) Go to your phone's Settings > Storage
2) Unmount SD Card (your external SD card)
3) Download/install from the app(s) from the Store again
4) Go back to Settings > Storage - then Mount your SD card again (or reboot)
5) Enjoy the app(s)
Background: I thought I was encountering some compatibility issue because the Note 3 was newly released and I had just acquired mine. I had also received the error when trying to update one of my apps. It is still not clear to me why it occurred and this is the only solution that fixed it for me.
Could be SD going bad, check LOST.DIR for any files, if anything there, it is already getting corrupted.
Checked, nothing in LOST.DIR

This totally worked for me! Still trying to get to the root of the problem though...
Have the same problem - removed mSD and Rebooted to get it fixed
This just showed up , and i formated my sd but it fixed nothing . After re mounting it , the problem was still there . I removed it completely and then rebooted . The problem is gone , but could the problem come from the sd ?
Not working for me can't install greenify donate pack from play store

Sounds to me like a ROM problem. I started experiencing that problem today when I install NV ROM for M8
The play store is an annoying piece of ******. I can install everything except Zooper Pro (RPC:S-3 error). Thus forcing me to use a cracked apk, simply because nothing else works!
Anyway, as for your errors. Tried deleting the data and cache on the Play Store and Google Play Services? Do you have enough space available?
sollution 2
here is some more info
it seems like it should be easy to fix fo google :/

Same problem. I've noticed the problem isn't the sd card, because i've changed it and could not install certain apps anyway.
I guess it's a rom problem. I'm on Blekota S5 v10 now, that's causing this issue. Yesterday I've flashed my rom stock backup, and every thing was ok.
Although if you are rooted first
1.)Unmount SD Card
2.)Download Link2SD it will requires root get it on play store for free
3.)Download your favorite app that get some errors
4.)Mount SD Card
5.)Put the app from external to SD using Link2SD
6.)Profit
Works
Thanks for the answer!
Just Backup and Format

Hi There... The problem with Unmounting and Mounting the SD Card is that since I have my music saved on my SD Card I have to choose a New Ringtone and all my Alarm tones all over again each time I do that... So I backed up all my Music to my Phones Memory, Formatted the SD Card and Voila... Now I don't have to keep Unmounting and Mounting the SD Card every time I want to update an App... more so I only had to go through the hassle of choosing the music once after the format... Hope this helps
I have a HTC HD 2 running Android 4.1.2 (Jellybean). I used this guide to set the 'micro sd' slot as the place for storing apps. After doing this, I was able to move all my existing apps to the SD card which was not possible before. I would like to mention that the internal phone memory is 25 MB on my HD 2.
Now, whenever I go to Google Play to download a new app, the downloads with sizes above 25 MB are not completing successfully.Also, there are some downloads which compete as they are under 15 MB but I get the 'insufficient storage available' error when trying to install them (e.g. TuneIn app). Thus I am unable to get new apps as the phone memory remaining is around 20 MB.
Can anyone help me out? How to select the storage card as the default place for installation a new app from the Google Play store? I have already checked via 'adb shell pm get-install-location' that my default drive is '2'.
Thanks
Hello,
I have a rooted Galaxy Tab A (2016) with S Pen 10.1. SM-P580. Running 6.0.1.
I have a couple of issues I can't get past.
First problem :
Whenever I restart my tablet there are a few changes that always occur. They are :
- Screen timeout goes back to the default 15 seconds (although I have it changed to 2 minutes)
- Keyboard goes back to the default one (from my chosen SwiftKey to Samsung keyboard)
- In "notification access" everything goes to "off"
- In "Accessibility" and "Services" everything goes to "off". Each time I need to manually turn them back on, one by one.
It can be quite annoying to always have to change everything back at each reboot. And it's not only on reboot, it also happens if I leave the tablet on for a few days.
Does anyone know what to do, to make my preferences stay??
Second problem (more importantly) :
I can't find an application that would make the SD card the default storage (this option does not exist in the tablet itself).
As it is now, if I want to download music or movies I can't. Because with the 16GB (and almost full) internal memory it's not enough.
Anytime an application has been updated it goes automatically to the internal storage so I have to keep moving them back manually to the SD card, if not the rest won't update since not enough space.....
I have 1,3 GB left of free space on internal storage and 97GB on SD card.
So I have a fancy tablet and a big SD card but can't download anything!
I have tried a few SD applications but they just don't do the job. And some of them don't even recognise that I have a SD card.
Does anyone know of an SD card application that would do the basic work of :
- Make SD card default storage.
- Be able to move applications to and from SD card.
- Automatically move recently downloaded apps to SD card.
I would be most grateful for any help I can get!
Thank you!
Id say your issue is your data partition has somehow become corrupted. I suggest backing up what you need, factory reset and reinstall the stock firmware.
For more storage you could use adoptable storage.
Hi everyone, I just updated my mcu (provided by the seller) and it wipe out all of my apps and setting. I re-downloaded the apps but some was failed to run. After the update I noticed there's portable storage on my system even though I did not hook up any sd card/usb on it. The reason for some apps failed to run is because every downloaded apps all goes straight into the portable storage instead of the internal ones. Appreciated if any of you could help me find a solution for this issue as the seller is hopeless.
Thank you in advance.
