Recently NYCMate app creators broke ties with their partner and as a result had to roll back to an older (crappier) version of their app. They promise to build it back up, bigger and better, but for the time being I'm happier with the old product.
I'm a big fan of the "Update All" feature in the market, but if I'm not going to update NYCMate, I'm forced to update every app one-by-one like the old days. Is there a way to have the market ignore updates for one app, and still be able to Update All?
This is for the Android market if I didn't make that clear.

I have a question about updating market apps.
I have maybe 50 or so apps installed. Some days I have like 8 or 9 updates available. Why do I have to download and install one update at a time. Takes like 20 minutes to do all of them. Why isnt there a feature to "update all" like my iphone had. It seems trivial, but it's a major help after having to update 10 apps at a time every 2-3 days.
Thing is with iphone, their apps are done so much better, there's rarely even updates for them, the update all function is barely needed. With android there's updates almost every day with some apps.
Few things.
1. Froyo is getting the update all button. Its definitely needed, although it takes about 10s to start all the installs for 5 apps, I have no idea how it takes you 20 minutes.
2. As an iPhone developer, the reason why there aren't updates that quickly, is because apple sits there and reviews every single update. Even if you were to submit one, it takes over a week for it to get pushed into the app store. The android market has basically instant updates for developers, so they can send little fixes much quicker.
I want to start the Market Updater but since it is a system app I am not sure of how to force start it or if there is an app for this, there are many apps for stopping other apps but none that I know for starting them. My phone is not rooted.
Yesterday when the market was updated I kept deleting it because I was not sure what was going on, I was not given a notice that there was an update or was ever asked if I wanted to update. The new markets icon was not the same and since I am always quick to think something unfamiliar is a virus I kept uninstalling it and eventually took out the battery and restarted my phone (I know I am weird). NE Ways I looked it up on the net and confirmed that there was indeed a new market released and now I want it back so that is the reason for this question.
Please do NOT post or link to the apk, I want to get it through the Market Update app.

search and download in the market named "Startup Manager", once you've open it, you will have three tabs. Go to the 3rd tab labeled "Custom". from that tab you can add an application that you want to start on startup..
hope it helps if i understood your problem correctly..
In a previous thread I posted a question about Voice Search which was eventually resolved once I updated to the latest version. Going thru the apps on my Phone I found the following stock to be older than what is available on the market:
1) Google Maps
2) Facebook
3) Voice Search.
and
AT&T Code Scanner (But the update fails with a message about invalid package sign).
I have auto sync on and background data as well but the update was never shown as available and had to got thru most stock apps and verify I have the latest; have you guys seen something like this? If you haven't, check and update the above apps.
Having same issue
I haven't seen a single app update for last 7~8 days.
I used to have a rooted Evo and it was typical to have 1~2 apps that had updates on a daily basis.
Does AT&T have power to restrict updates?

I got an update to Floating Image today. I think it's just that the popular apps in the Android Market are becoming more mature and stable and don't need as many updates as they used to.
Found the same apps had updates available from Market on my Inspire within the first few days after upgrading (picked up on Feb 13th at local AT&T Store). I figured it was the situation of these apps being installed in the factory, then boxed and shipped to stores before updates were available.
I have the apk pack for the old style no picture box market. I have ran it on my phone a lot but Market soon updates itself to the new one which I hate.
Is there any way to stop it updating itself ?
Yes, use TI Backup the freeze the update process (marketupdater).
Nice one thanks
I just opened up the Play store and saw the "We've changed a few things..." message. Change is a tough sell for me, especially because I am a firm believer of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Anyway, I actually like the new layout and all, but I noticed that this new version has at least one change that will have me rolling back to the old one.
Unless I missed it somewhere, we no longer have the option to pick and choose which of our apps get automatically updated.
Bummer.
Now, we have 3 options that get applied to ALL the downloaded apps on your device: Auto-Update Apps, Do Not Auto-Update Apps, or Only Update Apps on Wi-Fi.
I'm hoping someone will call me a n00b and tell me where I can change this setting for individual apps.
Otherwise, this sucks and I'm reinstalling the previous version.
Thanks in advance, HOPEFULLY.

Well I am in even worse state now. I have two Androids (well actually three) in any case I managed my apps form my browser. It allowed me to select which apps go on which device and to uninstall apps that way as well. With the new setup I have no idea how to do that any more. If I click on "my apps" it shows all apps with no indication on which device or any option to uninstall the app. I hope I am missing something or that Google fixes this.
Cheers,
Hans
