http://androidforums.com – I had my Huawei Activa for about four months now and on Monday it said there would be an important enhancement for it, as it was installing the update it said FOTA error so i took it to a Metro PCS and all they did was a factory reset and it didn't reset anything at all. So today I noticed that i needed to update some apps so I removed some apps so i could update them. Now every time I try to update them it says insufficient space when i have enough space on my SD card in internal storage. (General)

Stories similar to General Can't Update of Download Apps

I've been using my phone for about 5 months but recently I faced a problem with the internal storage of my phone. I have a total space of 1.97GB for my internal storage, apps used up 601MB and it says I only have 216MB available. Adding up the apps and available spaces, I should have about 1GB left. I don't know where it go and I can't update my apps now due to the insufficient space.

Support Upgrade to ICS 36 weeks 3 days ago

Am I correct in thinking that to have a hassle free upgrade from Version 2.3.X to ICS you should do a factory reset prior to downloading the update then another factory reset after you've downloaded the update?

Also can you still update OTA after doing the first factory reset?

Is it better to update OTA rather than use Kies?

Hi there, earlier today I was downloading the update for sims freeplay, when I got an error telling me I had insufficient space on my sd card. I thought this was odd because I had recently moved it to my phone's storage because it has way more space. So I looked, and my sd card which had barely anything on it now shows 102mbs left out of 1.84gbs.

Problems 3 Fold 7 weeks 3 days ago

I had this thing within 500MB of the internal capacity less than a month after purchasing it.

I've limped it along until now. It has gotten to where it will not update apps due to insufficient space. Things I've noted: It will NEVER compute internal storage space Under Settings/Storage. Perpetually says calculating. It will not Delete my apps.

App update problem 27 weeks 5 days ago

I am running just a stock rom 4.0.4 with HTC sense 4.1 on top.

Currently when I try to update any of my existing apps e.g Ebay it downloads the file but then when installing it says insufficient storage and aborts.

In terms of storage I have 1.52gb internal and 21.94gb phone storage so plenty free.

This doesnt seem to affect downloading new apps.

Thanks for any help or pointers you can

I have a serious problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3. I can't update some of my existing apps or download new (some) new apps. Plenty of storage available as far as I can tell, but I get an 'Insufficient internal memory' message. I am not exactly a techie but I emptied (app) cache (1 tap cleaner) and uninstalled a few seldomly used apps to free up space. No luck.

I tried to update an app today and the play store was giving me an insufficient storage error message. Clearly this shouldn't be the case as I have several gigs free on the phone.

Okay so the official update is out for all my friends and I want it too, but I'm rooted. Any help? I know that I can unroot and then install the update, but if I unroot, do I lose all my apps? What happens to all my root apps? Do those disappear?

I might be proved wrong yet, since it's only been 24 hours but.... Despite reading all the info about backing up and factory reset before updating I couldn't be bothered so just went ahead with the OTA update. I've been putting it off for a couple of months now due to all the horror stories I've been seeing on this forum re bricking and all the glitches and problems post update. I decided to g
