App to check for app updates? - HTC Sensation

I used to use app updater notifier to check whether I have updates for my app I have installed. However it has been removed from the market and doesn't work anymore.
So is there an app that does this? We all have gotten apks from different places and its not easy keeping them up to date. Using app updater notifier made it easier.
I wonder if google have removed all of the apps like this...

So you're asking how to keep track of updates for your pirated / downloaded from other places, apps ? The market does a good job at it...

aTrackDog tracks apps

I second ATrackDog, that's what I've always used.

Never heard of atrackdog! Works a treat!

Could be so, or it could be non market apps like n64oid

Hmm, I have an app update but doesn't show in atrackdog...
I turn off the track from market it shows the updates BUT says I have updates that show the lower versions of my apps as 'new'.

aTrackDog is old and stupid.
Use AppBrain.

You can try appbrain , it looks for update also but this is only a feature , the main thing about this app is another .
http://www.appbrain.com/

You can easily perform a check-in with the dial pad. That will let you know if there are updates.
Just type the number that the letter is on:
*#*#2432546#*#* (I think that's the way to type checkin with the numbers, not looking at a dial pad)
It's better than using an app that takes up resources, and it's very quick.
Hope this helps

Apps compatability

I'm trying to install the Official Cineworld App but I am unable to even see the App because it is not compatible with my Sensation.
Does anyone know why and if there is a way around this?
I thought as long as you had Android all Apps should be compatible.

this may be due to qhd resolution of sensation.
Try this method
Download Spare Parts from android market.
Go into the application, if compatibility mode is checked, uncheck it and recheck it. And Reboot it
If its unchecked, check it and reboot.
See if it works

[Q] list of installed apps and games

Hi, I am going to flash the new DFT freedom ROM later today to my HTC Mozart. is there an app that allows me to list all currently installed apps and games so i can easily search them later? the Zune purchase history doesn't really help as i don't have most of these apps installed anymore.
regards
Localhorst86
I agree... such thing would really be useful. I also need such a thing also for my ipad!
I bump this question to know if TODAY something similar would exist ...
So : is there any app than can list all currently installed app on the device ?
There is an app called "reinstaller" in the marketplace. It however does not list installed application but a list of all apps ever "purchased".

Stop apps from autolaunch

I have like couple of apps like skyri that even when i close it with task manager it autolauch a second after, is there any way to stop these apps from autolaunch so i can start them manually.......... im using cm7.1.0.......thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yes, there is. Uninstall them. Or learn how Android works, and what's the difference between apps and services, and don't log in to services that are running constantly by design. And stop using task manager.
From Nexus One forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678205
So task manager.is not good and.what about thsmese apps ir services running contansly , soery but im new to android
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Please read the thread I've pointed you to.
Apps that have services - need those services. How exactly do you expect Skype to react to incoming calls, if it's not running? And if you don't want it running for some reason - log out of it.
If you see something and don't know why it's this way - don't touch it until you know.
Yeah i get what u mean , let say like this app skyri, how would u know if it use services or not????
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Read the app description.
If it is something that needs to be running constantly - like wallpaper, messenger, something that syncs with internet, widget with changing data, or anything like it - then it needs.
If it doesn't - then it doesn't.
If you think it doesn't and it does - either leave it as is or uninstall.
Cool i get it thanks for the help

New Market (3.4.4) Problems

Anyone else having nothing show up in their "My Apps" list? So frustrating. I had this problem with the previous Market update, but fixed it by using Titanium Backup to detach all Market links to apps not downloaded from the Market (i.e. apps from Amazon, System apps, side-loaded, etc.). This got all of my apps to reappear before. Now it doesn't work. Anyone have a solution? This sucks. I can't see what apps need updating now.

I believe I just read the solution was to simply clear data and cache in manage applications
If that doesn't fix for ya go ahead and fix permissions in recovery.
After doing those and if you have no success try uninstalling updates or installing an earlier version. If you need one let me know

I am fortunate enough to not have this problem. Although I first updated my market to the new style through a leaked apk.
What about you guys?

Yeah, to everyone suggesting clearing the market app cache and/or data, that doesn't work with the latest Market. It worked with the previous Market, but only after unlinking the proper apps with Titanium.
I've tried rolling back to the previous Market, but it keeps auto-updating itself, even with the Market Updater app uninstalled.
Anyone know another way to roll back?

Unfortunately, this version still automatically updated to 3.4.4 in a matter of seconds after loading.
Weird. The market just notified me of 7 apps in need of updating and, when I pulled down the notification shade and tapped the notification, it took me to "My Apps" and I could scroll through them and update, etc. No problem. I left the Market, checked out a few apps, then went back to the market and could still see my apps. Then I rebooted and the problem resurfaced. No way to get back into My Apps.
Yarrrrrrgh! Somebody fix this!
FYI, experiencing this problem with my Samsung ET4G also...

I doubt all of these steps were necessary, but this is exactly what I did, and now I have all of my apps installed with the Market working perfectly.
I used Titanium to back up every app that wasn't originally installed from the Android Market, then uninstalled every one of them through Titanium. Then I went to Settings, Applications, Manage applications, and scrolled down to Market under the All tab and tapped "Uninstall updates." Then I made sure Data and Cache for the Market app were cleared and rebooted.
Then I loaded the Market and went to My Apps. As I expected, they all loaded just fine. Then I opened Titanium, restored the apk and data for all of my non-market apps and made sure they were all detached from the Market by long-pressing each one and choosing "detach." Then I rebooted again, launched the Market (which had already self-updated to 3.4.4) and everything was good.
Hope that helps.
Think you pointed it out right:
=> Restoring apps that were not downloaded using the market, with Titanium, seems to be the source of our problem, if Titanium wants to create links for apps that don't exist on the market, or that don't exist anymore (I have some old wallpapers coming from my HD2 for example, as well as apps to get video-games ROMs, or watch streaming TV series, that used to exist on the market and don't exist anymore. I also have apps from SlideMe market and a few found on the net)
I did the same as you, except that it was not enough, I had to completly wipe, then install a fresh ROM, then restored everything using Titanium, then used Titanium option to remove EVERY link from the market, then manually forced link to the apps comming from the market.
(I had already tried 3 times to go from a fresh ROM after full wipe, restoring apps with titanium was always creating the problem again and again...and your trick was not enough in my case, after uninstalling every app, the problem remained)
Now everything works fine (well, I had to download an update to get "my apps" listed again, at first, nothing was displayed!!)

Will anyone be able to please post up the .apk for it so the rest of us can use it?

I'm getting "not available in your country" even though I'm in the US and it's supposedly available through the Amazon app store. Anyways, if anyone could post the apk that would be great!
here for everyone
brilliant, thank you!!
Strange...I got a Epic 4G Touch and I can't see the app in mt Play Store and when I go to the online Play Store, I get the message that my device is unsupported.
However, I downloaded and installed the app with no issues from the Amazon Store.
Thats because they have disabled google play download for US customers for this app. US customers need to download from Amazon store.
Thanks WingnutStrikesBack for the apk. But it does not seem to install on my galaxy nexus. Anyone else have this issue?
Same Problem
I´m able to install it, but have force close issues everytime i try opening it it.

awesome!
I installed the app, signed up for the service, etc. How do you link pages from your phone browser to it? As far as I can tell the only way is to copy the URL and paste it into Readability which seems like way to many steps. It doesn't even show up in the list of browsers in the "Open with" menu. You need to be able to share the page with the Readability app directly from the browser. It's actually faster to just save the page directly to your SD card to read later. If I'm wrong about steps to adding pages please correct me. This seems like it could be a really useful app but at the moment it needs a ton of work IMO.

u can use the integrated browser too. but it shoudve been showing on the share list as u said, that wouldve makde it a very practical app
Sent from my Red Streak using Tapatalk
I know you can use the integrated browser, but most of the things I would save are links I'd open from Twitter, etc. and since you cant choose it as Open With it's worthless. This app looks nice but that's it. It is very poorly executed.

Does anyone have the app for the updated version that was released yesterday? I believe it is version 1.0.1.
