Not sure if anyone else had ran into this yet, couldn't find anything with search.
Last weekend I had my a500 all decked out with everything setup and all loaded up with media. That's when I noticed that updates were failing. I couldn't find any logging that told me why it failed. They were failing through both android market and through Amazon appstore. I tried all of the solutions that made sense from what I could find via googling, and nothing worked. At the end, I reset to default and lost everything.
So, I get everything running again and load it up with media, and it happened again. No apps would update nor could I load new ones.
This time, I had kept track of what order I had loaded things and decided to work backwards. First I removed my movies. Then updates started working. What I finally figured out was that 1.2gb of free space, it would not allow me to update apps, at 2.5gb of free space it would. I haven't tested to get the exact number, and I have NO idea what it's seeing that is causing it to stop there.
I will be rooting in the near future and will hope to sort out a bit more of what's going on. I am positive that it's not running out of block devices. The only thing I can figure is that it might have something to do with the way it's allocating the filesystem for the device vs regular storage.
