Not sufficient phone storage?

[Stang68]

Hey everyone,

Just got my Charge and have been installing my apps from my Droid X and I noticed some did not install. When I go to install them from the Market the installation fails because of "Insufficient storage space". What the heck? My phone storage shows 328mb still left. Any ideas?

No issues here... but dang... how many apps are you downloading?

Try moving some over to the SD card .

Yeah, I've been moving to the SD card all day, trying to install stuff. I miss the 8gbs of internal app storage on my Droid X!

Is there a setting to automatically download apps to SD card? Seems this would solve the issue.

did you perviously load a seperate kernel, then go back to stock or something?

Are there any downfalls of putting your apps on the micro sd card?

Breaks widget functionality and slows the speed of the app down..no benefit really

All I did was root and then restore my apps from my X onto the Charge using Titanium Backup. I'm thinking maybe the issue lies in there...

what option did you hit when you were trying to restore?

Batch restore of all apps and apps data. I de-selected some that I thought would be Moto specific.

I want to avoid a wipe but I may have to...

I know the batch feature is more efficient, but I think the restoration from TB might be the culprit. I've found that although slower, I have had much more success installing from the market and then restoring the data from TB.

At any rate...good luck and let us know how you fare!

That is the biggest problem of the Charge out of 2GB you only get 1.04GB out of the box. If you root, and rip out the bloatware and other junk you can get up to about 1.5-1.7GB. Still its a joke what Samsung put in it.

Ok, so it wasn't the actual storage on the phone that was taken up. When I used Titanium Backup, some apps were not properly installed leaving a "com.AppNameHere.app" APK on the phone. This would make it so whenever I tried to install an app with that com.APK left over, it would say "No space available", even though there was. Problem solved!

yeah if i took my biggest app, i would have to install it 600 times to fill the internal storage
