Hi all. I'm new, first of all my compliments for this community and the forum. I've just a question: how are notified updates of default apps like gmail, youtube, gmaps and so on? For example I find out new updates only by searching the apps in the market. Aren't default apps updated automatically? How can I find out new updates for them? Thank you for attention
Yeah they should update automatically; they always have for me.

But also for gmail and gmaps?? I had to open market and check out for every default apps. After this it has started to advise me for updates. But for example what about the music default applications? or the navigations' one? Where can I look for updates? Or will they update when new android's system will be released? I'm not sure to be clear.
Any idea?

Hi guys,
I have the automatic updates box checked on all several of my apps. However when i check my downloads in the market once again i see some which have updates available.
How long does it take for the auto updates to kick in. could it be that restoring apps using Titanium have an effect on this?
Thank you!

No hands on with Froyo but I believe that auto updates are still being finalized ... I think there waiting for the implementation of no auto update if the used services change. .. for example if an apparently decided to add full internet connectivity when it didn't need it before. .. I'm sure you would want the option to disagree in that case

I also have update issue for new apps? WTF anybody. Also I find less apps like ringo, more icons though can't find the pro versions.
Market enabler screwed up my time & did not help. Also my market does not find those pro version & other various apps I've had previously installed. WTF ANYBODY

Hey guys,
Having recently restored the factory settings of my 2.3.4 stock I lost updates to some google apps (for example, I'm now looking at the old Google Music app).
Weird thing is that I had new updates notification but when I enter the market there's nothing to be updated on the list of my installed apps.
1 day has gone by and still no updates...
Am I missing some magic trick here ?
If you go to the Market to the corresponding apps, what does it say?
Does it claim that they are updated and give you an Open/Uninstall option or does it give you an Install option ?

what a n00b I am lol! yep when i get into the corresponding app I have the Update button to click so I guess that will sort it out! Will try at home when I'm in WiFi! Hopefully that's all there is to it
Good to hear, then it's probably just that.

yep I managed to update them from their own application profile on the market! Still can't find Google Music but it's not a biggie, didn't like it all that much anyway...

It is because Google apps send update notifications in batches. You can always update by going to the app page directly before you receive the notification.

Hi guys,
I flashed the 4.0.4 ROM for GSM (ported, not official), and no bug found.
but when I connect wifi, google start to sync app to my 9023.
the question is, it syncs lots of removed apps to my phone! some apps i tried before but removed later. and it dident sync some apps I really installed (never removed).
I googled it and found no answer
I have a root i9023GT with stock ics 4.0.3 before.
any idea? what will you do after flashing new ROM?
thanks in advance.
...what will you do when flashing new ROMs?
In market settings, uncheck auto install of updates.
In phone settings there's an entry to backup and restore your settings, wifi-passwords etc - disable that as well.
Thing is, those backups are a nice idea. Problem is Google saves everything, but doesn't let you delete old stuff. Whenever I use this feature I get settings restored from when I played with android on my old Xperia x1. And no, there's no solution for it now - had some lengthy mail-exchange with Google's support about it. Result: they're sorry and understand my problem. But...
Edit:
You can also try logging in to market on your PC and see if you can uninstall some old apps from there - don't bet on it though.
Hey, I don't have it with my nexus s on pics 4.0.4, but I do have a bug: if you look at running apps, they will all say 0.00B, except for settings. But I think its something of your personal settings..
Greetzz, Jojoost

thanks, I do like google backup very much, for I dont want to install every app when i have new ROM.
I googled it before i post but find a google group without answer.
I login to android market on PC but it seems there is no way to uninstall an app in it, only to install!
Is there a way to ignore updates of certain apps?
There's 4 apps that I absolutely do not want to update because the updates suck. But everytime I open the Play Store there the updates are there begging me to install them. It annoys me. Is there a way to tell Play Store not to remind me about these updates?
do you mean notification if so you are running jellybean right when a notification pops up long press it that should take you to info for app that sends the notification and from there you can tell the app not to send notifications

Hi,
I can see nothing in the settings to change that.
It could be an annoying bug like the fact that you cannot get rid of old apps in your "My Apps" list that you no longer use...

No not so much apps I no longer use. But apps I use regularly but don't want to update.
For example I use Go Keyboard. I love it. Use it everyday. But the last update changed something I don't like so I don't want to update it. I'm happy with the version I have.
It just annoys me that everytime I go to the Play Store and look for updates to other apps, the Go Keyboard is begging me to download it.
Hey everyone I figured out a workaround for the whole Facebook forcing you to use Messenger app. This is for Android only so sorry iOS...
Go to Settings > Security and check Unknown Sources.
This is important because you need to download the apps from the web.
**BTW in case something bad happens to your devices which I'm almost positive nothing will I'm not responsible.**
Okay now delete your Facebook app.
Then go here: http://facebook.en.uptodown.com/android/old
And go all the way down to the bottom of the screen and download the oldest version of Facebook. Install it and sign in.
Now keep installing every version of Facebook from the bottom up and make sure just to click on the messages tab to make sure it works on every version of Facebook. This will let you keep the messaging option in the default app for the newest version! When an update is available I recommend you update from the website rather than the Play Store. Haven't tried it yet because there isn't an update and I don't know if it will still work.
Hope this is useful! Good luck

thanks. Im gonna try that because it really bugs me when they do that. Right now Im focusing on figuring out how to keep my sync settings for my google account from changing on their own all the time. Its driving me mad.
Thanks! I'm sure my friends will be glad to hear this!

I just use Messenger. I've been using it for as long as I've had a smartphone. I'm not afraid of the permissions. Samsung's stock SMS app requires all the same permissions as Messenger and more.
