insufficient storage available error?

[fghazi]

I have exactly the same problem, I supposedly have a 32Gb device (supposedly because android have a very funny way of displaying it), there is less than 25 Mb of data usage, and the free memory shows as 16 Gb. But I still get the "Insufficient Storage.." message.

Obviously there is a fundamental issue here, I just can't see why the developers at android cannot simply fix the issue, rather than give the users the runaround, to find workarounds.

The fix should be very simple to find, there must be a line of code which looks for the available storage, what ever its looking at is wrong, fix it and the issue goes away.

If I clear my 'Cached Data" will it close or erase all of the browser tabs that I currently have opened?

FYI, for me...the Google Play Store will not let me do a multiple app update if I have 500 MB or less left, memory wise.

If a cache clear gets it up to over 600 MB free or so, it works fine.

I have very little as far as media on this phone.

So I'm having an issue with my Moto G, when trying to install apps I get an "insufficient storage available" error despite the fact I have 500MB+ free and the apps I'm trying to install are all at most 50MB. After Google searching a lot I discovered it was a common problem among android phones with 4.2.2 and up (sidenote, my device is 4.3) and usually is related to the phone trying to install onto the internal memory before the external. Now the problem here is, the Moto G only has internal memory, so none of the fixes I've found such as changing the boot order round so that it installs to the external first, will help in my case.

I'm completely stumped and any help would be appreciated!
