Sometimes when you are installing an application, an error pops up, saying that you cannot install apps Android in the default folder. Let’s figure out why this error pops up and how to get rid of problem when you are unable to install apps from app store on Android.
First method how to fix “Unable to install apps” bug:
- Turn off your phone
- Remove the SD card
- Then reinsert it
- Turn on the gadget
If the problem persists and you are still unable to install apps Android, you can try another method.
For instance, if you are unable to install application because the phone stopped reading SD-card, try reboot your phone, if it does not help – format the memory card.
Perhaps the reason of the error “Unable to install app in the default folder” lies in the lack of memory, this means that your phone does not have enough available memory (in internal memory or on the SD-card) and that is why it is unable to install app from Play store.
To find out the amount of free memory: go to “Settings” – “Memory”. In the “Available” the amount of memory that is available at the moment will be displayed.
To free memory, you can either delete the applications you don’t need or move them to the SD-card or the internal memory of the phone, depending on where you need to free up space.
For stable operation of applications and to guarantee that in the future this error when you cannot install from app store will no longer appear, you need at least 300 MB of free memory.
