Hi there,
I'm running cyanogenmod 11 on my s3 and I'm having difficulty updating/installing whatsapp. I had whatsapp installed and was told I needed to update the app otherwise it'd stop working. I didn't update in time and sure enough it stopped working. I tried to update the app to continue using it but it said I had insufficient storage available. I've got plenty of storage space on both my SD (internal) and external cards and I've checked every partition and there's lots of space. The issue does not seem to relate to lack of space.
Since then I've tried everything to get it working, first uninstalling the app and reinstalling, deleting everything manually through root explorer, then wiping the cache and davik cache, odexing all my apps and then removing all the odex files through lucky patcher. Nothings worked. Unfortunately it doesn't let me use lucky patcher troubleshoot which I've heard works. Everytime I press on troubleshoot in lucky patcher it says I need to update busybox and install supersu, which I've done plenty of times to no avail.
Please can anyone help out. I'm fearing that I'm going to have to restore everything. If anyone knows how to get the troubleshoot in lucky patcher working or just fix my whatsapp issue all together that'd be great. Thanks!
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks.

Did you do a hard reset?

Not yet. I'm trying to avoid that if possible because I'm currently abroad and away from my computer. A hard reset would put me back onto stock wouldn't it? Is there any other solution out there?

Hello,
Got the 'apps stuck on installing' problem with the Market on new 2.1 firmware. I've read in other posts that it's possible to fix this by clearing the Market cache and data. However, on the X10 it's only possible to clear the Market cache and this doesn't seem to fix it.
Anyone found another way to fix (because I stupidly uninstalled the 'stuck' apps from the Apps Management settings menu and now I can't reinstall them )?
Generally enjoying 2.1, though (Angry Birds! )
Thanks!
I had this happen last week with a number of apps (all stuck at "Installing") at once. There was no option to cancel, and rebooting didn't help. Eventually, I just re-flashed my firmware (and added JIT to boot).
Knock on wood... so far so good.
errase all data of google, restart. click on market put ur data , must be fix it. thats wut i did

I tried deleting the Google account from within 'Settings->Accounts & Sync' but the X10 told me that other apps were using this account and the only way to remove it was to factory reset the phone. How did you erase all your Google data?

I was really hoping not to have to do that - it's taken a while to get the X10 running something like I want it after the 2.1 update
Download the apk from somewhere else of the thing you installed thats stuck and install it. That restarted the one I accidentally uninstalled while updating it
In my case fixed with reflashing, nothing else was helpful

Have you rooted your X10? If so, make sure ou install and use Titanium Backup. If you keep your backups up-to-date, re-flashing is a minor inconvenience as you can restore (almost) everything to the way it was.
No, I've not rooted it. Generally I just use the phone and apps and don't try to do anything too techy with it. Is it still worth rooting (apart from to use Titanium Backup?)
Hi all
I've recently updated my A101 to 2.3.20 and now its constantly complaining about having low device storage desipite the fact that I've cleared 30 Meg and have very few apps installed. Consequently I can't install any apps.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
cheers,
Toyface
1) Reset your Archos and install 2.3.20 once again.
2) If that doesnt work, contact Archos.
3) Wait until Urukdroid 1.0 (should be released in 1-2 weeks)
Hope i could help you
Thanks for the help, I might just have to do that, I could set up swap whilsts I'm at it, I'll play with it later to see if there's anything that might trigger it, trying to install read it later is not happening for me you see.
Now just need to find some none root backup apps...

I googled a long time and found this app:
http://market.android.com/details?id=tw.nicky.AppBackupReinstall
I think it dont need root... you have to test it^^
Ps.: Pushing "Thanks" dont hurt
I've sent you a thanks through.
The infamous appbackup by Nicky Cho, I've been using it a long time on my phone it doesn't save data or anything just the apk, great for sending apps from your phone to the tab that you can't get.

Hey guys,
Starting today I have been having a problem with the Market and it saying it doesn't have enough memory to install something. For example the Flash update released today. I try to update and it fails saying it doesn't have enough memory. If I look at free space I have like 2gb free on the phone. I can still download other applications bigger than the update, but it isn't letting me update. I have tried clearing market cache etc. I had the same problem when Fring released an update the day before yesterday. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still couldn't/cant get it to even reinstall. Is their anything you guys might recommend?
Also I have been having a problem with the contacts application. I click on a contact and it says contact not found, or something to that effect. It is like it looses all my contacts and a little bit later they work fine(usually after a restart).
Just seems like I am having lots of problems at the moment. Is their any suggestions for an easy fix? Can I just reflash rom only, and if I were to do that would I loose all my applications etc?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Blaine

1. MARKET.....try clearing data/cache in menu/settings/apps/manage apps/all/market then reboot and open Market.....should help
2. The contacts issue is pretty strange...do you sync using Google or a Backup Assistant?
Yes you can reboot recovery, wipe cache and in advanced wipe dalvik cache and reflash the ROM your on...it will rewrite system/ and your apps/data will be left as is
ALSO, try a different ROM....I have personally run all teh Froyo ROMs and currently run BAMF Stripped v1.7 with no issues at all.....
Hello!
I cannot update any installed app from Google Play Store.
After the download has finished, the installation fails with this error:
Insufficient memory available
Checking the memory from settings, I get this overview:
Internal memory
Total 2GB
Available 196MB
Internal memory SD
Total 12GB
Available 8GB
When I start an installation of a new app, there's no error of insufficient memory.
My conclusion is, this cannot be a memory leak.
However, the main question is:
Why are any updates from Google Play Store failing?
THX
-Reflash the rom with a fullwipe..
- or you flash the wrong gapps, search for official gapps
But you should ask this in the right thread like Q&A or in cyanogenmod thread.

next time before you post something use GOOGLE its already solved only search...I think lucky patcher have solution for that
Actually I used Google search for a solution of this issue.
Unfortunately I didn't find one that explains the root cause of the problem and provides the suitable solution for it.
In my opinion it's insufficient to follow the approach of wiping the flash and reinstalling the image + apps.
Nobody can guarantee that this approach would actually resolve the problem and not only heal it for the moment after the reinstallation.
Therefore I would prefer to understand the root cause.
You mentioned that "lucky patcher" has a solution for that... is this solution available in the forum here? Is "lucky patcher" the user name?

1) go to data/app folder and see if u have any .ODEX file pertained to those app/apps which r giving u trouble in update vide store's and delete the same, and then try updating.
2)also u can clear DATA/CACHE of 'playstore' and 'Google service framework' then reboot ur phone and then try.

Alternative 1 is the solution here. It has always been problems with those darn .odex files when it comes to the "insufficient storage" in google play.

There are no *.odex files in /data/app.
The Cache of Google Play Store and Google Service Framework is allocating very little memory (see screenshots attached).

Thanks! Option 2 took care of me.
If there are no *.odex files on the device and the cache is close to empty, what else can cause this error message?

Even if cache is close to empty, still wipe it. Also wipe the data of those apps and then reboot your phone.
I fixed the problem by flashing new image and reinsallation of all app using Titanium Backup tool.
A bit too late, but maybe helpful for someone else. I had this problem in the past, too. It turned out, that the (buggy) kernel filling up the space with logs. After installing a newer rom I never had the problem again..

There' s no need to reflash...
Just empty the logs on your android, it will free up to 300mb aprox. then, problem solved. The logs will be generated again for the things that matter, but i assume you have never emptied your logs.

I don't think there's just one solution to this. For me, I had to clear out the matching app-lib folders to fix it.
/data/app-lib/

If you want to avail this feature to move apps data to sd card you need to root the phone(Use kingo app for rooting) and install gl2sd app from playstore.
This app will copy the huge data of bigger games and few apps to sd card. That way you will be able to free up lots of space. You can then install many heavy data games on your phone and enjoy.
But yes you have to root the phone first. If you're afraid of warranty, then don't worry you can make the status back to official and get the warranty back. There a tool called triangle away to do that. So, if you want to have this feature then root. Go ahead and try if needed and enjoy. Cheers ! ! !:good:
Let me know if any issues.

Out of Space : Unable to install some apps
Hi everyone!
Pardon me, I'm just new here, I signed up bcoz I'm losing hope now.
I'm having issue installing "some" apps on my phone. (some are installing)
Search and tried TS steps found online to no success.
TS steps done:
Restarted the phone
Clear Cache on the recovery mode
Clear cache on each application through setting>application manager
Clear cache using android assistant
Tried the MMI code *#9900# and deleted dumpstate/logcat
Deleted the "mysterious large file" .thumbdata
Checked and deleted some odex files
Checked and deleted files under android/data
Installed Lucky patcher (no troubleshooting option)
Unable to install logcat
Unable to search appslib or app-lib
Phone information:
Galaxy grand quattro
Not rooted, stock ROM
phone memory : 1.74GB/ 5GB
SD card 1.5GB/ 32GB
Running process (under applct'n manager): 662MB used, 219MB free
RAM status : 568MB/845MB
I can just reset my phone to factory default but that's just avoiding the problem, I would like to resolve the root cause of the problem. (without rooting the phone)
I believe that we can resolved this issue.
Thank you in advance.

First of all make your phone rooted (then only you can delete modify files) use odin to flah CWM recovery and install superSU with CWM, some apk need root access ( like lucky patcher, root explorer) then use root explorer and go to sdcard/andriod /data and delete only the files which are not working and then try to install them it will work.
Here is the link to rooting :
