[Q] Google Play Store False "Insufficient Storage Available" Message - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Recently, I have been VERY frustrated with my phone as it is not possible to install ANY apps. I am using a Huawei Ascend G510, unrooted, running Android 4.1.1. I heard something about luckypatcher, but I do not have it nor could I find it on Google Play. Google Play keeps saying "Insufficient storage available". I have over 120 megabites of space for apps. I tried cleaning cache and data but it did not help. What's really weird is that I couldn't even install the app with an apk ! What should I do? Is a facory reset needed (I hope not, as I can't even install a backup app...) ?
Thanks,
Matthew Smith

Error downloading apps

I have been having this problem for quite sometime now. I have a Galaxy S Plus running on Android Gingerbread. Whenever I`m trying to download any apps I always get this error:
Update for "App Name"/ could not be downloaded due to an error. (905)
I have googled this problem and found out that I should just clear the cache of Google Play and the data of the Download Manager. I did this and it worked for a while however the problem keeps on coming back. I am already tired of repeating the steps over and over again. Now it`s gone worse, I cannot download anything. The same error keeps on coming up even if I already cleared the cache and data.
I believe I have sufficient space on my phone (phone, USB storage and SD card). Please help me out with my problem! THANK YOU.
its something about your /datadata being low on space.

Uninstall the updates
It seems the error occurs due to the misconfiguration of app settings. You can uninstall the updates, and reboot the phone and your problem will be solved. Source: http://technogiga.com/how-to-solve-error-905-in-android/
just uninstall the google play store update and play services updates :good:

Google Play (Market) Error: 923 and Insufficient Space

Recently did a factory reset, then rooted and unlocked.
Since then I'm getting errors downloading apps. This seems to occur only over the wireless connection, not over Wifi. I have verified that I can access the SD-card and external SD-card. have plenty of available storage space (per Settings/Storage): 2.58 GB app, 8.43 GB internal, 29.06GB SD card. Also have a good data connection per browser/weather app use!
These are the two errors I am seeing when trying to download apps from Google Play:
"App xyz" could not be downloaded due to an error. (923)
Error downloading "App xyz". There is insufficient space on the device.
Searched to find a fix, but couldn't find a good answer. Can anyone help me?
I would flash Th3bill's full wipe @ http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/th3bill/809-2/ then flash your rom.
if that doesn't work, you'll have to go back to stock sbf and see if that fixed it. if OK, root... if OK, unlock. an incremental way to isolate the issue.

Dont do a full wipe just yet... Just go to settings, manage apps, click on play store, click clear data, then reboot. This will probably fix it.

It wasn't enough to clear settings, I had to do the full wipe and installing MIUI 2.6.22 fixed it.
I appreciate your the help!!
I had error 923 on my sgs3 and clearing app data resolved it.

1. under settings/apps go to google store.
2. cache and data reset.
3. update deinstall, and akzept reset to google store basic version !
4. delete googlemail account under accounts&syncronisation.
5. go to google store app, insert googlemail account new.
google store meanwhile has updated to newest version and will keep runing fine again now ! :good:
This can sometimes happen after a fresh install and gapps tries to throw every update it has logged for you at the phone. just retry after installing what sticks. usually sorts it. many phones have this issue

This helped me after using CF- Autoroot by Chainfire, on my nexus 5. Thanks man!
Possible solution
I've ran into error 923 in Google Play.
None of the above worked, and I finally managed to fix it by deleting /data/core/zcore*.zip files (2.5GB in total).
By the looks of permissions on those files, some files could be deleted without root, but not all of them.
this video fixed the problem for me.. while it's "kind of a long video" for the 2 easy steps.. it's just the 2 steps.. 'clear cache' (not sure that helped, really?)
but the 2nd step did help.. I rolled back google play to a 'older'-orginal version.. and that fixed it

Error 498

Ahoj, when I want to install some appliaction (example alchemy) from google play, I get error 498 often. I was studing this error and I don't know, why I'm getting it... I have got enought free space on tablet (317MB) and application have got about 10-max30MB. I cleared cache of google play in application manager, I tried hard reset, factory set, but my problem is still here. Do you some ideas? I browsed forum, and I wasn't found working solution.
Thank you
Tablet: MID model EM86_TC
Andorid ver.: 2.3.3
Do you have some ideas?
I had the same problem! I was told to clear the cache. I brushed. In general, the phone still had a lot of free space, 16 GB. So just had to remove the latest updates Market, as device is already out of date by the application. And then all the downloads, no problem!
Thank you, it's working solution for me, but do you know, how disable updates of Market (google play)? I removed updates, installed app, and after few minutes google play made update and I can't stop it.

[Q] Google Play Store Error: 492

Hi. Tried out 4.4.3 (06_06_2014-21_46_36.) today and it works great! First time rooted and installed from 4.0.28 official! Everything went good.
However, when trying to install a big application (Battlefield Commander) or other (happens on some apps), I get the 492 error. I searched for 14hours for solution, for e.g cleaning data & cache on Google Play Store and Google Framework including Download Manegement but no solution. I tried go into SDE and find a setting to remove cache or repair permissions but can't find any. EDIT: Can't even save screenshots or pictures, or anything. says " external storage is maybe being used ".(I dont have a SD card connected, never had one) Thanks for helping out!
Best regards,

[Q] Google Play Services Error

Pls I seriously need help with my tablet. Sometimes ago, I used the Link2sd app to kink apps to my SD. I linked also the Google play services and my superuser app. When I finished, I then rebooted the device only to find later that the link2sd refused to mount. As a result, all apps I linked refused to display. They just were gray, you can't launch or do anything with them. Most unfortunately, was that the Google play services app and the superuser app could not be found. I could no grant or allow superuser permission for apps any more. I uninstalled the link2sd, rebooted, no way. I cleared data/cache no way of various apps, no way. I tried system reset from seetings, no way and worst now, I can't boot into recovery too to do factory reset. The device won't install apps any more cos the package installer stopped working as well. I cant go to play store or use any app associated with google. Pls I seriously need help. I use the Tecno phantom mini pad also known as tecno p9. Someone pls help. Thanks
