Sammy Galaxy S3 - Insufficient Internal Memory Error

linux-howto

http://forums.androidcentral.com – 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. :-( This is a 2 month old work phone, so rooting is out of the question. That said, frustration is great. This seems to be a wide spread problem across multiple versions of Android OS. Any and all help would be appreciated. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Sammy Galaxy S3 - Insufficient Internal Memory Error

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.

App update problem 27 weeks 4 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

Hi, I have a weird problem with my S2 running samsung stock ICS 4.0.3. i have been using sgs2 for over a year now and whenever my free internal storage goes below 2.5GB i move the apps to SD card. But now No. of apps in SDcard has hit the Android limit so i simply delete the Apps. But off late that is not freeing up my internal memory.

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.

Hi all, I have been using Android phone for years. Previosly I owned a HTC Sensation XL. I have no problem of moving the apps between internal phone memory & SD storage. This week just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S4.

I bought a pay as you go Android phone from Wal-Mart for about $130 and the be completely honest I want to throw the thing into the wall.

Not sure if it's the phone itself or the just the operating system. My biggest issue is the fact that when the phone attempts to download new apps or update existing apps it says I have no storage.

Hi

New to the forums and I'm sure this question has been asked loads of times so my apologies. I did trek back a few pages but couldn't find an exact answer, or it was too technical for me to understand!

I'm having a problem on my phone where I'm updating the standard apps (Maps etc) but it says I'm out of memory. As it's the basic apps it seems to be an internal memory issue.

I am having problem installing anything in to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 , the internal memory is completely free (16GB) , also the device 2GB memory is free , I've replaced the default SD card with a new 16GB SD card, but i couldn't be able to install anything instead of lot of free space.

Any one no what is the issue ?

P.S: the SD card is working properly, i factory reset the device alre

I bought an app called Sleepy Jack in the Android Market for 10 cents and it installed into my phone when it was on sale in December. I did a factory reset on my phone because I was running out of internal memory and couldn't free anymore memory deleting cache, apps, history, and messages.
