Help Need help with app updates on Galaxy 551

Guys i'm unable to update Angry Birds Space on my Galaxy 551. Even though i got 90+mb of internal memory, everytime i try to update the app it says insufficient disk space.


App. Size - 27MB


Same happens with a game app 101 games in 1 (22mb appx) . Here the app itself doesn't install quoting the same error as above.

Can somebody help resolve this?????????
 
Welcome aboard. :)

Here are two ways of getting this problem resolved: 1.) move most of the movable apps to the SD card on the device. This can be done by going into settings - applications - downloads. 2.) Install this app and move all (movable apps) to the sd card. http://0vje.qr.ai.

Good luck. Also, you will want to stop by your device's support forum for some cool tips and info on your device.

the stock cache partition of G551 is 20MB. you cant install apps larger than that without rooting

In case you are rooted ,I will tell you the rest of the steps .



The app is a file size of 27mb and already installed on phone.........
Now this error msg. pops up while trying to update.

BTW i am a novice with tech.
What is ROOT? What is its function?
What are its pro's & con's?
Will this reset my phone to stock?
If it wont harm my phone or ruin it pls. let me know how to go about it.

Ok I am sorry .
Rooting is actually a technically advanced process with which allows end-user to have a superior control over a device .
Like Administrator privileges in Windows but much more powerful .
Pros are superior control and access to many other apps .
Cons are ,you need to be on your toes all the time .
It wont Reset your phone to stock
It may harm your phone but it really depends .It is relatively safe .
