Help Insufficient storage - errrr, no

[kajstring24]

Got an annoying problem with my S2. I'm trying to install & update some apps, but I keep getting an 'insufficient storage' error. When I check my storage I have nearly 1GB available on the device memory and over half on my SD card. I have restarted my phone, uninstalled several apps and cleared the RAM when installing apps, but still no luck.

Can anyone help me?

Try to set default install location to SD card and install some apps to the card (System settings/Storage/Preferred install location).
Are you sure you have 1GB free in install location? It looks like you have 1GB free in internal memory card (which is not used to install apps), see the posts below for better explanation.

I don't have the option to change the location of installed apps.. is this correct on a non-rooted phone?

On your keypad, enter *#9900#
This will bring you to the (hidden) SysDump menu.
Select the "Delete dumpstate/logcat" option.

This clears out all of the unrequired, accumulated dump files.
Pulled back 1Gb for me.....
