I have an EMDOOR EM63 android tablet, I have recently done a factory reset. I have not installed anything to it because every time I try it says "insufficient storage space" please help.
Aw poo. Sorry, but as hiredgun said, that it is strange that after multiple resets you get the same messageI tryed to install your Storage Truth app but I get the same "Insufficient storage" notification and it doesn't let me install it. Do you think that if I root my tablet I might be able to find out what is wrong, and maybe fix it? Also I have heard some talk about side loading apps, maybe that will work.
Rooting is not going to fix this.I tryed to install your Storage Truth app but I get the same "Insufficient storage" notification and it doesn't let me install it.

I have all ready done three factory reset and it has not fixed anything. As for checking with a PC for anything that hasn't been uninstalled, I just did that and there is nothing still on it. I did a test and downloaded nearly 2 GB of music to it, I can see all of the music and listen to it all.
Space where?I'm certainly no expert in this, although I have had my share of "insufficient storage space" issues when there was enough, but if he could put 2g of music in there that pretty much confirms what we are all thinking that he does have the space and somewhere down the line it's the software that's dropping the ball on this right??
P.S. As long as they are free apps, you could try to download them on the PC and pass them over to the tablet and install them like that. A lot of times if my phone says I don't have enough room when I'm trying to install and app I download it and put it on the SD card and it lets me install it from there!
Space where?
Space has to be free in the temp area for the Play Store download and apps are going to install into /data (even if you put a part of them on the internal storage earmarked for media).
If it's the temp area that's hosed, yes putting it in SD card storage (real or simulated) via a pc will bypass that problem.
But if a factory data reset isn't clearing temp storage, you really can't trust what all else it's not clearing out.
And that's a problem.
PS - the Play Store is known to use /cache and /data/dalvik-cache for temp storage.
Factory data reset has to clear those or its useless.
If the device has a bootloader/fastboot mode, then you can try to clean out the worst of it by trying
fastboot erase cache
From a pc.
You misunderstood me.I assume on the actual Phone EarlyMon, as the SD card always has more than enough room. I don't know why it works, but it has for me on more than one occasion when I tried to download an app from the Play Store and the download was interrupted because it said I didn't have enough space. I downloaded it on the PC, passed it to the SD card and was able to install it that way. However, if you don't think this is the solution for everyone I won't suggest it again. As I said I'm far from an expert, but on my behalf I will say that I suggested it because it has worked for me, lol.
@EarlyMon No I was not able to install any apps on it after the factory reset. I mentioned rooting because I thought that maybe I can go in and manually erase the temporary data you mentioned. If I go into the "fastboot mode" and try to erase the cache it just sits there for hours saying it is trying to erase, but it never does anything.
Backup any free app on other working tablet to sd card using Astro File Manager.No I have not tried that. if you could give me some instructions on how to do that that would be great.
