Low Storage Warning when Updating

[DLong4]

FWIW, I was getting the storage error last night, too. Not sure if this fixed the issue, but I went into Settings/Storage and removed the SD card within settings, then shut down the phone and physically removed the SD card. I still got the storage error, but after what seemed like the 12th retry, the download started. Then I got the 0x802etc error right after the download finished and the installation started. Reboot, retry, and then it went well. I tried to keep the phone awake all through the download, not sure if that helped, too.

The newest OS is really fast, and very easy on the battery.

I am also having this issue. I have tried to soft reset and remove/add my home wifi network(this started on my work/school wifi).

I've reset my lumia 950xl and bingo download works and it's seams faster then before. Hope that I will nit required to reset every time an update cones out

Seeing the same here. Low memory errors only using <8gb. Plus, phone's getting hot for no apparent reason.

Almost feel like I bought a cheap hoverboard...

...and not for nothin, but isn't this the type of thing you'd think "Fast Ring" and "Slow Ring" users would've experienced and reported, and gotten fixed before releasing to the masses (all 1.7% of us)?

Also, FWIW, I'm on AT&T...

I tried the update again this morning ... and success. Not sure what that was about.

I wasn't doing hard resets or restores. Worse case scenario, this phone was going back.

A lot of posts in the Microsoft Community forums about this. The moderators are still trying to track down the issue. But, I'd say just let the phone rest to the next day and try again. Eventually it will install.

I got the low storage notice while updating, as well. Fortunately, third time was the charm...was able to update without a hard reset this morning. Keep swinging, eventually it will go through...

I may have found a workaround for the update issue: enable developer mode. That did the trick for me!

Just tried it - no joy. When checking for updates the phone keeps saying, "Your device is up to date. Last checked: Today, 10:28am" Even rebooted after enabling Dev Mode and still nuthin'.

Update - My phone eventually got a pop up saying that the sim settings had changed and it needed a reboot. I rebooted and the phone sat at 0% for a bit longer till it almost drained my battery completely. I plugged it in and left it while working and when I came back it started downloading and I had no more heat issues

this worked for me! I factory reset, hard reset.. messed with wifi.. nothing worked. As soon as i enabled developer mode it jumped from 0% to 27%.

Having the same issue. Entered dev mode but no luck. It also seems to prevent other store updates from being applied.

Please take a look at Jason's (from Microsoft) post on page 27 of this thread:

Apparently Microsoft is aware of this issue and is looking into it.

Mine was doing the same thing when I first got it and also wouldn't update any of my apps. I did a hard reset and all my apps updated, 10586.29 started downloading, and my phone didn't get hot anymore. Weird bug...

 

[John Frey]

I have done 3 hard resets with no luck. might it be that im waiting too long after the reset to start the update?

 

[Patrick Elms]

After getting all these same errors on my 950 yesterday, I let it rest overnight, did a soft reset (want to avoid hard reset if possible), and retried the update, which ran successfully. It took 45 minutes and the phone did get hot, but everything seems to be working fine now.

Hope MS learns from this and the next update goes much more smoothly.

 

[Dangermouse7]

Also got an error code the first time I tried downloading the update. The code was 0x8024a206 if that's any help?

I got this same error as well

Edit: I ended up doing a factory reset and restore from Onedrive then went to bed. woke up in the morning and the update and all the store apps were installed.

Same error, due to issues syncing with the Band, I was wanting to avoid doing a reset on the phone.
As previously suggested, I enabled Developer Mode. Update is currently downloading for me.

Got the same problem. Let the phone be for a couple of hours in the mode "something went wrong, we'll will try later... " Then after a soft restart, everything went all fine, update took maybe 30 minutes with no problems att all.

Same issue. Sporadic warnings even though loads of space, phone went from full charge to dead in about 4 hours, being uncomfortably warm most of the time. Lumiahelp on twitter advised me to hard reset, that went wrong somehow and I've now got a phone with almost nothing in the apps list, no home screen, and when I try and access settings, it tells me I've not got the app to do that. Extremely frustrating. Just be careful if thinking of hard resetting your phone that you don't leave it in the same useless state mine is in.

If you haven't already fixed it, had that happen to me and used the volume button combo to hard reset again without going to settings and then phone has worked great since.

On topic: Had same "issue" 0% a while, hottest phones been (phone is never hot for me except during this update), and low storage notification... Even though got notification I just left the phone alone and it installed fine on its own after like 45 min.
