[Q] Updater app? - HTC Desire S

Anyone help me with this?
There is an app called Updater v 2.3 on my DS. Is that for the Android Market or is it for HTC to detect my software version?
I am asking because I am still on v1.28, was never offered update to 1.47, never mind the forthcoming update.
I half think it arrived with a small update that I did get months ago, that never led to 1.47. But I might be wrong.
If it is NOT for the android market, what happens if I uninstall it or clear the data?
PS
I do not mean the app called Market Updater. This is called Updater, has the android icon and is versioned as 2.3

[Q] Help needed... App not showing in the market

Hello,
I had android 2.1 and purchased one of the navionics (marine charts navigation) and was working great. I upgraded the OS to 2.2 and now I can not even see any navionics apps in the market, I can find them in appbrainer but when I click to go to the market it doesn't find it.
I contacted navionics and they say their app does work on 2.2 and that it might be due to rooting the phone but I checked for the app in another phone that came already with version 2.2 from factory and got the same result...
Any suggestions?
Anybody else using 2.2 can see the navionics apps in the market?
btw the same is happening with the pandora app...
Thank you...

App Updates

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.

[Q] Marketplace won't update apps for Mango

Hi, I updated to official Mango yesterday, but Marketplace seems not to know about it. I'm still stuck with 7.0 apps, which I wasn't offered to update to their Mango versions. I'm not able to install Mango-only apps such as HTC Connected Media, I'm not getting HTC Attentive Phone update etc...
Is there any solution to force Marketplace to offer me Mango apps? THX
Look for the app in the marketplace, and you can update it there.
I hope marketplace will offer it automatically for all together soon, so i don't have to do it one by one.
Thank you, but that's pretty obious. But it's just a workaround, not a real solution, as I expect that auto-updating via Marketplace won't ever work in the future.
I even tried hr, but Zune did not installed my apps back. So I installed them manually and will wait for any updates - if they come or not.
I have the same issue, no notification for app updates are showing up after installing Mango (forced with the disconnect trick). I don't know if it's because of the forcing the update or just a general issue. But I definitely have apps installed that have a Mango version available.
What is also annoying & strange is that the Marketplace is still in French (I'm from Belgium) where it should have been in Dutch for me since Mango was released.
If anyone knows the cause / solution I would be very grateful.
Thanks !

No one is able to install these updates, just wait.
I didn't see any update notifications until I enabled my data service on my phone. Then literally, seconds after. 9 new updates.
This happened while I was on vacation, had wifi on in many places, but when I got back home at the airport, data on. Found a bunch of updates waiting to be installed.
That's a serious problem.

[Q] Android Market Update

Just wondering if anyone knows why the android market hasnt updated itself.
I still have the market with the green top (2.3.4) yet the new market 3.x.x was released months ago.
There were several 3.0.x versions and now the most current release is 3.1.5.
I know that the new version can be installed manually frmo the apk file, but im just wondering why the update hasnt been pushed out to the phone like it has been with most other android handsets.
It seems that none of the HTC phones have had the new market pushed out over the air. As far as I am aware market updates get pushed out direct from google?
Anyone know why Desire S hasnt received it?

It hasn't been updated because HTC are VERY slow on the update side of things as we all know!
Also, the latest version of the market is infact 3.3.11
and it can be found HERE
Just download the apk and run it from your phone. This will update your market to the latest version
I thought market updates don't come frmo the phone manufacturer, but got pushed out direct by google?

well either way whoever is responsible for it hasn't done their job properlly. If you want it just download it from my link and install it yourself
It came preinstalled with my sense 3 update. But I didn't like it. It loaded every page very very slow that I had to uninstall it to get the older one.
I flashed the 2.10.401.5 RUU (Android 2.3.5, sense 3.0) ROM and it didtn actualyl come with the new market. it still had the old green top one. However upon loading the market for the first time, seeing the green top one, then closing the market. It auto updated itself, changed tothe newer style icon on the homescreen, and now has 3.1.5. Strange why it auto updated on this rom, but never did on the 2.3.3 one.
Hi everyone, I'm new to xda here's the link for the Android market 3.3.11 Its working for my desire s. Use qr Droid app to download
I used the old version, temporarily do not want to upgrade it.

[Q] Original market on G2x??

Hello
I am getting sick of Google Play, and I really liked the Android Market. So I tried to install the apk I wanted on my G2x, but I think the 'newer' version of it stinks, too. I like the REALLY old version best, the version on the G1 or Motorola CLIQ MB200, but all I can find (That works) is the new (First file) version. I want the second (File 2) kind of version, but when I use the apk I found, the market crashed about 5 seconds after launching it. I am using the latest stable ver. of CM7 on my G2x. Any help? Thanks!
