Its little bit weird.....Maybe game download data on external sd.....Sorry mate i dont know how to help you
no solution on this problem? me need help too. same problem with me, 2.6 MB free and move to SD by App Manager, not work too.
It might be an issue with you installing it externally. Also, have you tried getting that's actual sd card data and installing manually on your device's internal sd card?

This app is not compatible, you have to modimy built.prop file.
Incase anybody is still curious about this issue, I solved mine by moving the SD data folder. To a alternate location i.e SD/Gameloft. I then proceeded to install the game without the no space error. Then moved the SD data back to it's desired location SD/Gameloft/Games.
Working for me:good:

Please help with storage problems

Hey guys,
I'm having a weird thing happen with my internal storage on my phone.
I'm using stock XWLP7 firmware.
When I try and install an app it says I haven't got enough space, it tells me to delete 1.6gb (I'm trying to install a large Gameloft game)
Sure enough I look in settings-storage and I only have around 700mb available, but I should have ALOT more...... Where has it all gone?
I'm totally stumped and would be very great full for some help.
Here's a screen shot to explain my issue.
If I deduct the used memory from my total 11.49gb I should have 9.8gb spare! It tells me I only have 745mb available, does anyone know where it's gone? lol
Or why this happens?
Thank you guys!

Your screenshot is not displaying.
However you can move some big apps to SD
Thank you for your reply Jokesy!
I'm aware I can move apps to SD, but I would like to find out why my storage is all messed up.......
It just doesn't make any sense....
If anyone knows how to fix it and maybe get back my 9gb of storage I will be very greatful

Get app called sd maid and go through each section clearing stuff.
If you got cwm, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions and reboot.
Thats all i can offer, it may work!?
IRONY = XDA app, buggy and doesn't work properly!
Mod Edit - do not advocate warez
Thank you for your advice
I already have pro version if SD maid and regularly go through each section deleting stuff.
I also regularly wipe cache and dalvik cache. Probably do them both almost every other day!
Fix permissions whenever I install an app and I also zipalign all my apps.
So I don't really know what's going on..... It's really puzzling me.

The free storage displayed by the system usually only reflects the sdcards partition status, while the low space warning is probably talking about your /data/ partition.

Apps won't install

Hi all, I searched but I couldn't find an answer to why it won't install any app when the internal memory is under 500mb?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Hi there, I think that has got something to do with memory needed for storing messages, call logs, cache, passwords and things like that mate. If you have an external memory card, then i would advice having any music and photos on there. Plus try clearing your browser cache, deleting any downloads you dont need anymore.
Hope this helped.

Sorry buddy... I have no other option. Let me try to search as well... I will let you know as soon I will know it... Anyways... how much memory do you have left in internal sd card?...
I have around 410mb left.
It's not a big problem as I'm uploading to dropbox and plan to buy 32gb card next week but I wanted to know why is it like that and if there is a fix just in case .

Which ROM have you got?
You need about 1GB, because the apps are bigger, when they are unpacked (Installed) and they need to store their data somewhere, don't they
Try deleting some bloatware apps, or some apps you don't use and try dowloading again ^^

[Q] can´t install and update apps

Hello i´m from germany so my english isn´t so good and i hope you understand my problem. Since a few days i can´t update apps because i become a error report which says no more space but i have 2 GB internal memory free?. 2 or 3 days later i can´t install new apps too. I have the stock rom 4.2.2 with root, TWRP and Hacker Kernel. I hope you can help me.. I also tried to install a custom rom but i don´t find a rom that is better then stock and at custom rom my wifi can´t be enabled.
Help...
Nobody have an idea?
Google Play is only supposed to prevent you from downloading apps when you have 200MB of internal storage or fewer. However, I've seen this same problem at other random numbers like 400MB. Unfortunately, I've never seen the problem as high as 1.4 GB.
Although you aren't supposed to have this problem, you can definitely try freeing up space and seeing if the problem persists. If you have 3GB of free internal space and you still cannot download apps, there is a problem with Play. If the problem goes away, I would recommend buying an SD card where you can keep most of your data, and you will still be able to update your apps.

In your screenshot, it looks like 4.7GB is being taken up by media. If that is your internal SD, try moving the media to your 64GB SD. See if updates work then.

The only way to solve the problem you are having would be to isolate it. If you clear up some memory and apps start updating, you know that your phone has a limit of 2GB. In that case, always keep over 2GB free and try to move more data to SD. (I still don't understand how Whatsapp takes so much memory) If apps don't update after you clear the space, you know that Google Play isn't working the way its supposed to, and should probably contact support on their end.
Sorry I wasn't of too much help for you. Good luck!

Use link2sd, setup correctly it gives you virtually unlimited app space.
