App update notification - HTC Sensation

Hi guys...
Since I have had this device I have never received a notification that one of my market apps has a new update available. I always have to manually check. I definitely have notification setting to "on" under the market settings.
What type of experience have you guys had??
Thanks

On stock ROM, I didn't get updates either, only notification AFTER I manually checked.

On stock I've noticed that it won't autocheck at some predetermined interval. However, if I open the market to look for something, it will then notify me that there are updates.
Do you have the auto-update box checked on the apps in the market?

Q? Stop Market from Auto Update Downloaded apps

I noticed this morning (tnt 3.1.2) that some of my apps (like youtube) were updated automatically and then a notice popped up. I did go into market and change "notifications" to "no" but it does not say anything about turning off auto update. Am I missing something.
Thanks
Under Market settings for Notifications, I only have the options to:
1) Notify me
2) Do not notify me
I chose Notify me. I don't get automatic downloads.
On the apps that you do not want to get auto-updates, open them in the market app and make sure that the check box is cleared for "Allow Auto Updates"

That is the ticket! You have been thanked
Thought I'd point out I had a slightly different Market settings screen ('had' is the big word, it changed to be like 'normal' now with only the notifications options in it).
Before, mine had a setting above the notifications setting about Market filtering (I didn't touch it, though, was too busy and just thought I'd see what was there since this is the new Market screen).
It's gone now and can't get it back (I don't know what settings were under it).

Same thing happened to me! The filter was there one moment, and gone the next...
Perhaps a new beta feature not yet ready to be unlocked for all?

How to disable stock HTC message app??

I recently started using Handsent on my T-bolt since swype won't auto space or auto cap in the stock htc message app. Problem is that now everytime I get a text, I get it in both message apps. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to semi-permanently disable the stock message app. Can anybody help me out here?
TIA!
Open messages and hit menu. Uncheck received notification.

Thank you! I kept looking in "manage applications" but wasn't finding what I was looking for. That was too easy...now I just feel stupid.
Thanks for the help.

Facebook Push Notifications

So here's the story, I loaned my friend my phone the other day so he could check his fb account using the regular fb app. He was asking me how to check his notifications and showed me the phone, and when i got the phone I saw that there was an icon like a sign post in the notification bar, so I pulled it down and lo and behold there was a notification for someone commenting on his status a minute ago. I was checking it out and they were PUSH notifications! I thought Facebook had silently updated itself, so when i got my phone back I immediately logged into my account and updated my status to something interesting, but no push notifications even though people were updating. Has anyone else been able to enable push notifications using just the default app?

Mine does it. Have you tried logging out, uninstalling fb completely, downloading a fresh copy... Reinstalling?
Also check your accounts and settings to make sure fb is set up for autosync... May be worth a try...

menu, settings
refresh interval (lowest you can set it to is 30 minutes) and activate notifications.

That works with getting messages, but my friend was getting actual push notifications for every notification he received right as it happened.

Not really cuz I have the phone set to check every hour, yet even when the phone was locked he was getting notifications for everything right as they happened. Seriously this is my second android phone and that's the first time I've ever seen Facebook do that.

I get push notifications right as they happen. All day long. Has been like this since day one. I'm pretty sire its the Facebook for HTC Sense that's doing it. Not the actual Facebook app. Try logging out of your Facebook for HTC Sense account in your settings then logging back in. Like I said, this has been working for me since day one on the stock rom. And still works on every rom I have used since.

Messed around with all my settings and still nothing. This is bugging the he'll out of me cuz all my friend did was log in. I checked the actual website and the "facebook for android " app doesn't show up in the list of allowed apps, any way this could be the cause?

An update for anyone still wanting to get push notifications: I was able to enable them in my phone, but i had to suck up my pride first and log into fb using the IPHONE app. Once you log in you'll get a pop up asking if you want to enable push notifications. Select yes and log out and go back to your sweet beautiful android phone and you will have push the notifications enabled!

[Q] SMS-App changed, but Lockscreen only works with stock app??

Hey Guys!
Because I have the problem, that the stock SMS/MMS app turns long sms directly into mms, I changed the app to smsDroid.
Works fine, I used this app on my Defy before.
But now I face the problem, that the lockscreen will show "New message" as long as I open the message in the stock app... If I open it in smsDroid, only the notification in the notification bar will get away...
How do I solve this problem? It's annoying to open two apps for a sms so that the notification will go away
Hope you guys have an Idea!
Regards,
Muhski
Open stock app
goto settings and turn off the notification..
Hey thanks for the reply!
I already did this, but it only works for the notification in the notification bar...
Whe I get a short message and read it with smsDroid, my lockscreen still shows:
1 unread message
Also the stock app will show 1 unread message in the appliaction menue (little orange "1")...
I'm confused
I've got this issue too, is really annoying I've still not found a way to fix this myself without rooting anyone have any ideas?

Did you try freezing or deleting the stock mms.apk?
Open all your message threads in the stock app to get rid of the "1/xx unread messages" notification at lock screen.
Once it's gone, open Titanium backup and freeze the system app named "Lock screen notifications".
I had the same problem and fixed it like this
I had a problem as i receive message and when i unlock the screen the message becomes read already ........and as soons as screen turn on the notification icons disappears showing that ive read that message....
i simply dellll all the dalvick cache and restarted the phone .........it took time to get stable ...but now its super responsive and stable with no glitches...
if youve deleted some bloatwares or system apps it is necessary for you to delete the dalvick cache for stable performance ....
because deleting the system apps wont delete the cache for that particular app.....that will make phone unstable
I'm not rooted and don't plan to be, there must be an easier easy around this that doesn't need root!

Yes. Root the phone, freeze the app... And unroot once you're done.
What's with the allergy to root? At least it allows you to fix these kinds of issues yourself. If you want something which "works out of the box" and wait months until its works are fixed, grab a Samsung Wave, a Lumia or the like.

Don't advise people to get a wave. Bada is really .... well .... bada
Thanks for tipp with freezing the notification!
But this again is annoying, too, because now I have no notification on the lockscreen ^^
But I think is shouldn't expect too much of Sony making their software working with other software...
Maybe I should get a new lockscreen. Will it fix the problem, too?
I'm not against rooting, but I'd prefer not to,I was rooted before but can't be bothered doing it again if I'm honest! Just want to either integrate/replace the messaging app or stop the notifications!

App Update Notifications disabled but still appearing?

Samsung S3 on 4.3. I've disabled app/game update notifications under the Play -> settings area however I continue to get app/game update notifications. Phone has been restarted a few times and the setting toggled a few times. Maybe I'm being dense here but is there something else I need to to?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah I think that is just the notification when there is an app waiting for you to update, but when you're on wifi it auto updates and notifies you it updated the app. That's my take on it, but I don't know specifically what notification you're getting and never tried to disable that notification

The notifications I'm seeing now are for automatically updated apps while I am on WiFi.
