I have a Motorola Xoom Wifi that for some reason stopped updating automatically the apps i have installed. If i want to update my apps, i have to go into the market and go to the "my app" tab in order to see what updates are available so i can install them. I've had this issue for quite some time, but haven't had the luck to isolate it so I'm deciding to put it here for all of you to see and comment on it.
Troubleshooting done:
1-reconfigure all settings and preferences involving updates (this includes apps settings)
2-uninstall and reinstall all apps
3-clear all cache and app data
Not sure if this could be the exact cause, but i have my eye on it 'cause i've noticed that the automatic updates stop a while after doing my first backup with Titanium Backup. If i decide to restore the factory settings and recreate all my data and apps, everything's fine, but if i do a titanium backup, i won't receive any more automatic updates.
Have titanium restore market links. Long press the restored app and tell it to restore market link. That should help.

At some point my Nexus S (stock unrooted 2.3.2) stopped notifying me of updates for installed apps. I've checked that it's set to do this (even turned notifications off then on again).
Any suggestions to get this working again?
Thanks...
It's always a hit or miss with me. Mostly a miss.

you can go into Titanium Backup
Market
then select the option to wipe data for market
then it will work again
just make sure you have market set to notify you of updates
if you don't have TI, you can go via Settings > Manage Applications
and select market, then delete data
Hi folks,
With the backup & restore function turned on, the Market automatically restores ALL of the applications I have ever installed using my associated Gmail account. I have been downloading applications using this account since 2010 and I have a large collection of applications, many of which I do not need, which are restored every time by the Market. What I want to know is how I can permanently uninstall or disable these apps from restoring. I want to restore only a select few of my apps, and not all. I have explored the different settings of the Market and I unfortunately could not come up with a solution to this problem. Hopefully someone here knows the answer to this problem.
may someone kindly help out.
Since I flash my phone alot, I had that happen to me. Now what I do is UNCHECK the backup and restore option in settings. If that don't work, then back up your apps, etc, and do a factory reset. Go through the welcome setup and when it comes to the part where it asks if you want to backup and restore then uncheck it.
Before you do the factory reset though, clear your market history and cache, first.
Hope this helps.
My phone is rooted, on jellybean (CyanogenMod 10). I always do a fresh wipe on my phone before installing a new rom and kernel. The weird issue I come across is sometimes after you finish the first setup steps, all the apps start restoring by themselves in Google Play, but other times I have to download System Tuner and restore all the apps I backed up. A few times also after wiping my phone and setting it up again, the apps complete settings were backed up and the login information is already filled out and my preferred settings.
Bump.
There's a feature built-in (available in the settings) where the apps & settings are backed up to Google's servers. I'm not sure exactly how much data is backed up, but, obviously, sideloaded apps & their data are not backed up. Personally, I've never flashed a new ROM & had my stuff magically restored before my eyes, but I suspect that if you waited long enough, the restore would take place.
The closest I've had is when I did a dirty flash & didn't clear my dalvik cache. Strange things can happen, then.
Yes in Google play there is a setting to restore apps automatically. For some reason it is intermittent on when it chooses to work. If your looking for a way to backup and restore your apps I would use titanium backup. It works great.

Settings -> Backup and reset
Backup my data -> Backup now.
There are 5 checks:
1. Auto backup - on
2. Clock - on
3. Messages - on
4. Phone - on
5. Settings - on
When I press the button to backup these, all are getting saved, except Settings.
It goes up to 75% and it says Backup failed.
Anyone else getting the same results ?
Same for me at 84%
Does anyone have a solution for this ?

Happened to me today, first time I used my Samsung account to backup. Everything work but settings stopped at 80% and then got a message "backup failed"
Are you guys all using the stock launcher? I didn't try it before but I am running Nova for the past couple of days. I will switch back to stock and try again and update here.
I get a home screen notification that says a network error occurred. But that sounds bogus and unlikely.
Update: nope didn't make any difference using the stock launcher.
Same. 83% then backup failed.
Tried doing a backup using Smart Switch on my PC. It started the backup then a message popped up on the phone saying "Unfortunately the backup restore has stopped". Pressed OK and Smart Switch continued the backup, and completed at 100%. Only issues were S Planner, Videos and Applications were excluded "because there is no data on the device." Also, Memo failed to backup due to an "error", and the note says "Unable to proceed with data backup."
So, a bit of a mixed bag of succeeded, excluded, and failed. The one that seems most significant looks like Applications didn't get backed up.
Somebody who matters should complain to Samsung
Backup works on my Tab S2 T813. Phone settings might be the problem. This works because it has no phone.
I was getting the same Settings backup failure, but thought perhaps it was related to having some apps disabled with EZ Disabler. Enabled everything and the backup completed successfully. Disabled unwanted apps again and the backup failed. So, for now looks like it's related to disabling apps. Anyone else?
(Note: I still got errors when trying to use the Smart Switch backup on my PC even with apps enabled, so no joy there.)
I don't have a disabler but I did disable some crap in settings. I wonder what it could be.
my disabled progs are
com.facebook.appmanager
Facebook
Google App
Hangouts
Instagram
S. Health
S. Voice App
WhatsApp
I will try enabling the S. crap and see if it works.
That's it! When I enabled S. Health and S. Voice App it worked. Sounds pretty bogus to me but there we have it.
Thanks for your comments. Can you check if you have the same issue and if it works for you?
I turned all the permissions and notifications for these two off so they can't do anything but the backup still works ok.
Fixed! Thank you @samnada
One more update. Smart Switch was failing to backup my contacts and applications. Talked to Samsung Support, eventually got resolution for both.
For contacts run the Contacts app, More > Settings > Contact to display, select Device. Mine was originally set to All contacts. In Smart Switch go to More > Preferences > Backup items, select only Contacts and re-run. Contact backup worked.
Did the same for Applications, in Smart Switch, More > Preferences > Backup items, select Applications only. Backup worked. For some reason if all the items are selected the application backup said there was no data, and no apps were backed up. Selecting it by itself backed up all applications. They've supposedly submitted a bug report, so may be fixed some day.
Hi,
been a Titanium user for a long time and usually it works like a charm.
But now I am stuck.
Re-installed LOS 16 (20191018) with formatted data/system/cache after a hosed OTA on my OP3T.
Now TiBu has issues with about 30% of the backups (for example YouTube, Locus, Okuna).
None of the three methods under TB > Menu > Preferences > App processing mode work.
When doing interactive, I get the message "App not installed" from the installer after the installer seemed to have done its job.
The other two methods just lead to a hanging TiBu at the app in question.
Using app only (without data) restore will not work either.
As two thirds of the restores work, me thinks all the prerequisites (Magisk, USB debugging, storage access) are ok.
Looking at threads with similar issues, I do not find anything that I did not already check;-(
Looking at the log I see one thong that sticks out, a message about missing splits for the package to be installed.
any ideas?
thx

Ok, some more tidbits.
Re-installling the phone leads to exactly the same apps having problems.
Workaround: Install the apps from the play-store and then load their data from TiBu.
A PITA, but better then doing all the setup again.
But wait.. No account data was restored. Just to make sure, I repeated the restore of the accounts in TiBu after the app installation.
None of my accounts have been restored.
A bit frustrating...
cheers

Same issues and I want to give up on TiBu completely. Wanted to know if anyone has an alternative to it. I do see a few options on play store but wanted to know people's opinion from experience.
