After a preliminary version of BBM [BlackBerry Messenger] Android escaped in nature (see our previous story here), BlackBerry took nearly a month to restart the deployment of this application. But the company has released a new update of the application for official Android in a matter of days. This is very good news for some handset owners because the notes indicate that you one of the main reasons for support for additional devices Android update. So if you could not flee BBM before, it is now possible. The other reason mentioned is to provide fixes and performance improvements. We did not observe any bug, but we stumbled upon an Android operating system error when we try to install the update. It is the error "insufficient storage available".

The fact that BlackBerry has released the update so quickly indicates how seriously it is taking the establishment of BBM as leading social messaging in the mobile world.

We have already reported here that BBM was downloaded by 10 million users within 24 hours. But users of Android and the iPhone.

Looking for in Google Play today [28 October 2013], GoMo News could see that 10 million Android users have already downloaded BBM only. It could be anywhere between 10 m and 50 m downloads.

Now that 'insufficient storage available' error showed that Android. There are some very complex cures for this but we can offer a very simple. Kill some applications.

By default, for some reason, Android (this seems to still apply in our loan 4.1 Android phone Jelly Bean) wants to install apps on the phone's internal memory.

And being a big fan of the application, we've loads. So it is not good - as we thought at the beginning - merely accessory an external larger memory capacity (microSD) card. Android continues to insist on installing them in internal memory chips.

It is even when we went to the 'Setup' inside Android menu and select the option of storage. And he assured that (external) SD card is selected as the default writing drive.

So we find a very enlightening publication in JbNote site here that describes four possible outputs.

Three of them require 'rooting' Android device that GoMo News always warned here is only for brave people.

The fourth 'fix' require the use of Java and we will try to see that you one!

Meanwhile, we can only suggest that if you get insufficient storage available message kills some of the previously installed applications that you use never or almost never.

At least it allowed update customer BBM!

Indeed, we agree with Marc Willmore here that will install the Cache Cleaner app available free from Google Play, also help to free up some space.

However, would install that application when you've run out of space for apps?
