Same problem.

Ever since installing Google Play my phone is always screaming INSUFFICIENT STORAGE SPACE and its overheating as well.

Never did that before the update

If it's the same size app, then it's added other files somewhere else because my phone does not work properly anymore. It was perfect before this update.

Not sure what to advise ACH... do you know if other Optimus V people have been having the same problem?
 
Have you tried to delete the cache from the Google play app in settings/applications/manage applications?
Have you deleted all app cache and internet browsing history, etc with a cache cleaner from the market?
Go into your browser and select settings and clear HTML cache, cache, history, form data, cookies (clearing this will make you have to log in to all you favorite sites all over again), passwords, location access, etc.

Are you rooted? If so, I'll move you to the All Things Root sub-forum. There is a simple script fix that can be run in a terminal emulator.

I've been having a problem where when i try to download an application, it says 'Error processing Purchase'. The app is free though. I'm rooted and I'm wondering if there is a script fix that would fix my issue. Thanks!
 
That would be a question better asked in the All Things Root sub-forum, right?
 
You don't need all your apps to always be installed, Installed apps, even when they are moved to your sd card, they still use a small chunk of internal phone memory. This internal memory usage adds up when you have a ton of 'installed' apps, until there is a low internal memory, too low to handle any extra tempoary caches that build up.
I keep most of my downladed apps uninstalled, backed up to the memory sd card. Using a 16 gb card leaves me lots of space, and backup with 'Android Assistant+18', there are other apps that do backup. This keeps the Optimus V's limited memory clear enough so I don't have low memory problems. And when I want to use an app, I can just 'restore' it, and when I'm done using that app, I uninstall it again. This method keeps 'annoying' apps that always respawn, or turn themselves on again after force stopping them, from using the phone's memory/data unnecessarily.
P.S. "File Manager" is a very good free app that also backs up. Dolphin browser now has an anti-virus add -on thats as good as anything I've used/seen.

12/16/2012: I would also suggest getting these free apps from the Playstore. Android Assistant+18 by Aaron, File Manager by Rhmsoft, Clean Master, and if your device is rooted, DroidWall.

Android Assistant has a lot of useful tools including an app backup and app to SD card utility.

File Manager is a very good app with no time limit like some other free file managers have.

DroidWall (for rooted devices only) is a nice little 'firewall' app that does not have any 'permissions. It lets you "whitelist/deny" internet access for any installed app. Works great! Especially useful for people who have limited data plans.

Clean Master cleans up caches and old unused data from your device.

I had the same problem. Called Google Play tech support. They wanted me to remove my Google account from the phone and add it again. I tried that, but I got a popup saying the only way to remove the account was to do a factory reset. Being rooted, I couldn't do that. So I just told the guy my situation with being rooted and modded, and that was the end of it.

Then I realized what I had done that probably caused it. I had to send in for a refurbished phone. I restored a nandroid backup to the new phone.

Whatever caused the problem for you , a fresh install of your ROM will fix it.
 
App Tyrant when first opened up will backup all your apps/.apk's to the sd card. Then any time you download an app it will automatically back it up.

It saves it in the .apk form. This way you can have all the apps you want. The ones you don't use that often/or every blue moon, you can just install from App Tyrant when ever you need it.

If you download and install an update to an app and it makes the app run terrible then go back to App Tyrant and re-install the old .apk.
It saves all downloaded .apk's. You have to personally delete an .apk to lose it

For non rooted user's this is almost the same as Titanium Backup is for Rooted User's.

This is a must have for anybody that likes to have a lot of apps.

For people with the "error processing purchase" just delete the app data for "GoogleServicesFramework" and everything should be fine. I had this problem for a few days and this is the only thing that I could come up with that permanently fixed the issue.
