I want to stay on the older gmail app but the damn thing keeps updating to a newer version even though I don't have the auto update box checked.

Menu, settings, applications, Gmail, click un-install updates

Thanks for trying to help bro, but I already knew that & it didn't solve the problem I was trying to fix.
It doesn't matter now as I found a work around that I actually like better than the original setup so it doesn't matter.

I just flashed Cog 2.3b6 and when i try to download an app it tells me that it will start but they never do... Anyone with this problem?
Yep. Problem here. Not sure why.

Its a problem on googles side. A lot of people on different roms are having an issue

I was running on Cog 2.3b2 and never had this problem.
For some reason it started working again, let's hope it's stays that way.
I've tried 3 different roms thinking it was the rom
Go into settings, applications, manage applications, go to market and uninstall updates. That should fix the problem.

I'll give this a shot tomorrow morning and post results. I did "update all" to a bunch of apps and it effectively uninstalled them. Now I gotta figure out which ones they were. Kinda had this problem on Cog 2.4.1, but really bad on 2.3b6. Makes sense if it is an app issue.
It's definitely a server-side outage apparently: http://www.androidcentral.com/late-night-market-woes-youre-not-alone
ok... it didn't stayed working... it keeps coming and going... sometimes they download and sometime they just crash...
What's the downside of uninstalling the Market Updates?
because u are using the same android id a as everyone else with that rom. Change your android id back to your original id. Its been posted before, just research forums on how to find chane and restore android id
Reverting the Market updates worked for me. I got 4 or 5 FCs in a row without it actually updating anything (just uninstalling it) and when I removed the Market updates it worked perfectly the first time.
Gtalk
Just log into Gtalk and it should work. YOu gotta be logged into Gtalk for it to work. This isn't like 100% true, sometimes it may be logged in but the app isn't running or whatever.
BUT, if the market doesnt download apps, log into Gtalk, and then it should work
Stop the download and then re -start it. Works for me

Hey guys,
Having recently restored the factory settings of my 2.3.4 stock I lost updates to some google apps (for example, I'm now looking at the old Google Music app).
Weird thing is that I had new updates notification but when I enter the market there's nothing to be updated on the list of my installed apps.
1 day has gone by and still no updates...
Am I missing some magic trick here ?
If you go to the Market to the corresponding apps, what does it say?
Does it claim that they are updated and give you an Open/Uninstall option or does it give you an Install option ?

what a n00b I am lol! yep when i get into the corresponding app I have the Update button to click so I guess that will sort it out! Will try at home when I'm in WiFi! Hopefully that's all there is to it
Good to hear, then it's probably just that.

yep I managed to update them from their own application profile on the market! Still can't find Google Music but it's not a biggie, didn't like it all that much anyway...

It is because Google apps send update notifications in batches. You can always update by going to the app page directly before you receive the notification.

I have a unique issue after upgrading to ICS on my HTC sensation. Whenever I search a address on my browser and click on the address for directions, it opens up the google maps on my browser rather than the "Maps" app on my phone.
This is really annoying as I want to use the navigation tool through my google maps app. It used to be okay before ICS.
Any help or ideas will be really appreciated.
Try clearing the default settings.

I have already tried it but didn't help. I have checked the settings on my default HTC browser and maps both.
whats that an offical upgrade or a root update on here, if it is official try a system reset, if it is from a rom on here, email the author who created it and they maybe able to help, when i had problem either on a rooted and unrooted phone, the system factory restore always solved the problem, just remember to backup all your settings for your app before you do it, as once you do that there is not way back, until someone going to tell me other wise i hope i could help
Right, I'm a PowerAMP pro user, but with a pretty old phone. The latest app is working but it's slow and sometimes lags. The poweramp site also offers the old 1.4 version which works right for me. Now, all is fine and dandy but I;m a bit annoyed by the app always showing up there to be updated. So I searched for a method to detach the app from the market and learnt that the bug has been solved long ago and apps can't be detached. So I tried changing the app's signature, of course with no luck, my android dev skills being close to absolute zero.
So I ask you, is there any way to do this? I am not pirating the app, so don't worry
I'm also trying to convince the developer to make an unsigned version of the app specifically for old timers like me, but with no success until now..
Just use LBE Privacy guard and freeze internet connection permission for this particular app..
So it will not connect to net and not telling you that new version is available..
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

If it doesnt need to connect to the internet for anything else you could use droidwall to block it from accessing the playstore
If your rooted you could use blackmart to download the app and never have to update it
Or see the updates notifications saying there's an update

I know Titanium Backup can detach apps, though I am not sure if it is available in the free version. However, I do recommend the paid version of Titanium Backup anyway.

I have never been able to make that function actually work and I've tried with several apps that I don't want updates for.

On a related note, is there a way to remove apps from the "My Apps"list? It is really annoying to have to scroll through a list of apps containing tons of apps that you may have tried for a while and then uninstalled when you need to reinstall something. And why is the "My Apps" list in random order and not alphabetical?

As far as I know (and after some quick Googling), there is no way to remove any apps from the giant "My Apps" list. However, I use the Appbrain android market replacement, and it lets you customize your lists and sort them better. You can remove devices from view though.

Thanks, I will definitely look into that and continue to research the issue as well. If I find any other solutions, I won't hesitate to post an update.

Hey everyone I figured out a workaround for the whole Facebook forcing you to use Messenger app. This is for Android only so sorry iOS...
Go to Settings > Security and check Unknown Sources.
This is important because you need to download the apps from the web.
**BTW in case something bad happens to your devices which I'm almost positive nothing will I'm not responsible.**
Okay now delete your Facebook app.
Then go here: http://facebook.en.uptodown.com/android/old
And go all the way down to the bottom of the screen and download the oldest version of Facebook. Install it and sign in.
Now keep installing every version of Facebook from the bottom up and make sure just to click on the messages tab to make sure it works on every version of Facebook. This will let you keep the messaging option in the default app for the newest version! When an update is available I recommend you update from the website rather than the Play Store. Haven't tried it yet because there isn't an update and I don't know if it will still work.
Hope this is useful! Good luck

thanks. Im gonna try that because it really bugs me when they do that. Right now Im focusing on figuring out how to keep my sync settings for my google account from changing on their own all the time. Its driving me mad.
Thanks! I'm sure my friends will be glad to hear this!

I just use Messenger. I've been using it for as long as I've had a smartphone. I'm not afraid of the permissions. Samsung's stock SMS app requires all the same permissions as Messenger and more.
