[Q] can´t install and update apps - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

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.

I have already a sd card with 64 gb and at the galaxy s4 you cant move apps to sd. I use folder mount for the data of big games and my navi. I already tried to unistall apps. Time by time a app will install or update and i dont know why..

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!

Store apps on USB storage

I apologise if this a nooby question but I've searched and can't find anything. Is it possible to store the apps on the 16gb usb storage instead of device storage. I don't have a memory card cos i think the 16gb will be ample big enough.
Cheers

What do you mean? All your apps go on a different partition which is 2gb in size. I hope you are not talking about using apps2sd...

Oh rite thanks for clearing it up. Just on my old phone (n97) the device storage was different to the usb storage. If i use up more of the device will the phone run slower? Sorry for the questions just want to try and get the best out of the phone, thanks : )

well, the addiional 11GB of the internal memory is also mounted as "sdcard" (while the actual SD card looks like a standar folder on this partition called "external_sd"), but you won't be able to use it for applications via apps2sd... at least my stock rom doesn't allow this, that works only with the actual SD card.
Either way, the primary 2GB offers plenty of room except if you want to install the whole android market on it.
When I tried to install NavFree I got an error Not enough space.

[Q] Galaxy s2 bootlooping??? (help! only 13 years old,completely novice!!!)

hi guys. can somebody please help me with my issue?
it happens like this, the phone just freezes for a moment and then it moves to the "S" boot screen. when the unlock screen appears and i try to unlock it,it freezes again and then boots. my solution is taking the battery out. yeah,it works for a while(usb and sd card are mounting and usual stuff loading)
,but the widgets arent loading...
and then again, 2 minutes after rebooting, the loop starts again!
here are some possible issues i read about:
A:sd card causing bootlooping,
B:application app2sd pro causing problems.
i really dont know anything about rooting,or kies,or odin (if im correct)
and i dont want to reset my phone.
running stock rom 4.0.3 (with TW) and 325 installed apps.
350mb free storage on phone,2.56 gb of memory on internal sd and external is 339mb. there are about 46 500 files on sd cards in total
please....
HELP!
From recovery menu, wipe your phone and try to open it.
NOTE: This will reset your phone to factory settings.
I guess any method we try to help you with will lose your 300+ apps :O
thanks anyways... my phone just rebooted again
maybe ill try rooting some day when im less scared
hi again. figured it out it was my 4.5 year old sd card that was unreadable...
but i moved it to my old desire and it worked fine.
now its time to hunt for a 16gb sd card
Wait, apps2sd? I used to use that with my Hero, why on earth are you using it now?
I suspect that is the majority of your problem.

why? does the app have some kind of bug?
Newer Android versions (2.2+) have option moving apps to card natively.
So what, apps like adobe flash dont move to sd without app2sd
IF YOU LIKE MY WORK, THANK ME BY THE BUTTON BELOW
Because apps like this aren't designed to sit in sdcard.

The stock settings app does the same, and it dont move apps to your Sd card but to the internal sd.

Out of memory problem.

My s3 is showing out of memory now. I have a 32gbp card with lots of green space and also my internal memory still 400mb remaining. I thought the apps got installed in the phone memory. Am I wrong? Is this 400mb limit?? Pls help . I'm on stock os, non rooted.

Your not wrong, thats why your out of storage space. All your apps are stored on your phone and not on your external 32GB card.
400MBs is all the space you have left on your phone. Try moving some music and pictures onto your 32Gb SDcard.
I know it's low. But when 400mb is available, atleast an app of 5mb or 2mb should get installed na???

Your phone still require some memory to perform other stuff like cache. Try to move your media files to ext sdcard.

Closed, only post in one section, and make sure if its a question that it goes in the Q/A section.

Is it true that Galaxy s3 now does not support installing apps to SD card?

As per title....
Yes. Internal memory got plenty of room to fit many apps. Unless of course if you install many high end games. But you can get the 32gb/64gb version if you so need to play high end games.

Argh drats. My telco here does not have the 64gb version. Is there a workaround to this problem?

The easiest solution is to buy a 16GB one and use that. There is hardly any chance you will use up all the space by installing apps.
If you have an SD card and root, you can install to that too.
If you root it, then you can use the method explained as below :

Try link2sd app... available at play store... except user data.. apk file lib file dalvik cache files are moved to 2nd partition of your sdcard.. also you will be able to use these apps while sdcard connected to PC and if u flash custom roms u will have your apps as soon as you install link2sd app..

[Q] Device Memory - Internal Storage Doesn't Add Up

I noticed that if I add up the size of the files in my device memory, it comes out to be over 16GBs, but I still have more than 1GB of available space. I have attached screenshots of this. Does anyone know how this could be? When i install a large app, the app space goes up but the available space does not go down. I'm on MK2, rooted and running Hyperdrive RLS 14 via SafeStrap.
I don't know if this is the problem but I know my phone will show memory usage for things I have downloaded but already deleted.

I don't think that is the case for me since I know I have downloaded more data than is showing under the Downloads section. But thanks for the response. I usually move the downloads to my external SD card after the download is completed. Speaking of which, I wish there was a way to download directly to the ext SD card.

Often you have files which are linked from one folder to another, so adding things up won't work.
I use the "DiskUsage" app to display what's consuming space.
