Any way to hold an update in Market? - General Questions and Answers

So I noticed that the latest Tweetdeck update disables the ability to post longer than 140 characters. Is there a way to tell market I don't want to update the app? The problem arises in that there are a number of other apps which are due for automatic update. But because of Tweetdeck I'll have to save the apk, uninstall, update all.

I use the 3party app to disable it.
maybe u could try it, download "lidroid tool box" from market, & disable the update notice from Auto Start.

Open the market, Menu > My Apps > Pick the app > look for the check box that says "Allow Automatic Updating" and uncheck it

It's not that it was automatically updating. It's that if there is a list of many apps to be updated, I can't use the update all functionality as the app is in the list that is up for updating. Instead I have to manually choose to update each app.

What bugs me is I have unchecked automatically updating for every application on my tab and it still checks for updates on every start.
"Updates Available" appears every time......yes I know, Don't need them!

ah... yea I dont know what to tell you on that one. maybe find a 3rd party app that allows a little more control over it? I'm sure there's one out there that can do it.

*install Astro
*backup your app (tweetdeck you said? i'll just say that )
*uninstall tweetdeck
*install the backed-up APK
*it will no longer show up in your 'my apps' list.

Return to the Market with me, then I can not download because the connection timeout error.

I have the same problem. After I added a Google Apps account, it automatically added Device Policy app as system/stock app, and now I cannot delete it anymore... Just disable.

i have never used Google Apps Device Policy, so I have nothing in Device Administrators to remove. And I can't remove the app. Why is this now a system app on my phone?
The fix!

don´t allow intall apk sd or market!!!!

Suddenly my optimus 3D dont allow install apk from sd and i can´t download from market, download never end or the install button appear dislable.
Any idea?
Are you a rooted user who has used a task manager to stop some auto running apps? If so you probably need to reset the auto run permissions for the market app.
If not, have you checked that you have the "allow non market apps" option ticked in the phones settings menu under the applications section? This enables installation of apps from places other than the android market.

maybe!!!!

If you didn't change any settings using a task manager then market should be fine but if you want to check you can install an apps manager (I use the gemini app manager which is free on the android market so can only tell you how to do it with this app though it should be the same for most similar software).
Start the app manager and you will see a list of programs that are on your phone, scroll down the list until you see the android market app showing (it will just say "market" and a pic that looks like a green suitcase next to it).
Click on that picture and a menu appears with lots of choices.
Choose the choice that says "configure auto run" and after a few seconds it will show you a screen that has lots of writing on with "on/off" sliders at the right of the screen.
Basically if these are all green then the problem is not the market apps permissions. If any are not green just touch them and they will turn green. When all are green again just hit your phones back button and see if market now works properly.

How to clean list of "Not Installed" apps on Play Store(Market)

Guys, tell me how I can clean list of "Not Installed" apps because I uninstalled these apps long ago and I don't want to see it there.

Unfortunately, you can't.
Amazon's app store has that capability, but google didn't build it into theirs.
That mean when i use the "AUTOMATIC RESTORE" function on my phone, the phone will automatically install "ALL" apps i accepted before?

No, it depends on if you set the backup to restore when setting up the ROM...
If you don't then it would just take you to the Play / Market where you can go to My Apps and install the ones you purchased first before re-installing the others. (The above only applies if you don't back up your apps using Titanium or other such apps).

google need to sort that. it's a major bugbear & such a dumb oversight.

Turn off Google Play's auto app install?

During the day I get bored at work and tend to flash a bunch of ROMs just to see what they're all about. I keep all my apps and data backed up via Titanium Backup but I don't always want to restore them because chances are I'll just be on that ROM for an hour or two.
Google Play always starts installing all my apps right away. Usually I don't have strong 3G signal and back when I was on my Incredible it caused my phone to freak out and boot loop. Can this feature be turned off somewhere? I swear I've looked everywhere and can't find anything. It's SUPER annoying to have a device automatically do something for you without having control...
when you install youre new you have the choice to have a backup if you dissmiss i remenber gp doesn't install app
In Google Play store, go to Settings and you should see an option called 'Auto-update apps' or something similar. Simply uncheck that box and all should be fine.

I've unchecked that box, it only pertains to using the apps once they've installed. Even with this box unchecked Play still starts to install everything upon first booting into my new ROM

There should be a prompt once you try to connect your device to your Google account.

Just had to deal with this off a clean install. None of the fixes here worked, but I was able to stop all the app downloads by just opening the play store as soon as it booted and just cancel the downloads. It never tried to re-download them again.

After a fresh new rom installed, to avoid auto restore apps from google play:
Go to settings, “backup & restore” and uncheck “backup my data”. < way from AOSP rom.
Or just don't sign into your Google account after you flash a ROM if you just want to check it out. Easiest solution right there.
i think it would help if you turned off auto sync in settings
deactive autoupdate in every app in play store.

These are the sort of results using the search function, dear moderators. A quality search function here. I was just looking for a method to disable Google Play Services auto-update. Hm, never mind. Just forget my post.

[APP][4.3 & 4.4 KitKat] App Ops eXtended

App Ops eXtended is a launcher for the 4.3 AND 4.4 App Ops activity, as well as an installer for a more advanced version of App Ops with added features:
- search for apps
- filter out disabled apps
- sorting alphabetically
- batch grant/revoke OPs (permissions)
- ability to automatically deny permissions chosen by you on new app installs
- optional persistent notification to show revoked permissions for the current foreground app
App Ops X is a recompiled version of Android 4.3's App Ops which we've made available to Kit Kat now too.
We're going to improve on it and add new features, so please, if there's anything you'd like to see just let us know! Also if you have any problems with it, please send us a description along with your ROM. Thanks!

Can you add the option to take away ability from apps to connect to the internet, or to write to the USB storage, or to read the phone status and identity? That's what I would call extended app ops

Don't these apps work by listing ALL the permissions that an individual app can access ? So if it can't access the internet or GPS or or or it won't give the option to denied ?

App Ops lists some, not all permissions. Look at chrome, it doesn't say that it has any network permissions, neither write storage, but if you look at them in Settings->apps you can see it does.

Gotcha I never really looked at apps like chrome , I really only use it for games and shady apps downloaded from the internet . I agree finding a way to show all permissions would be great
Many thanks!! I was waiting for kit Kat version.

Yep, working on the INTERNET permission right now. App Ops eXtended uses the same AppOpsManager as the native app, which doesn't support it, so it's a bit more work, but we're getting there!
Looks nice !
If I may, once App Ops X is installed, the button still says Install App Ops X Maybe you could change it to "Launch App Ops X"
That's done, along with a few other features:
- notification that shows revoked permissions to the current foreground app
- batch grant/revoke a permission to all apps that requested it at once
- rules - automatically disallow permissions of your choosing to newly installed apps (like READ CONTACTS)
Don't see wake lock option in X version
First thanks for make this great app available on Kitkat platform.
I'm not sure if the following bug might be related to my phone only:
When trying the Native AppOps, all works fine and I see the "wake lock" option.
However when I try the AppOps X, I'm unable to see the option for "wake lock". I had granted superuser access to the app and phone is rooted. I'm on Kitkat (Build from CM 11). Phone is a Samsung S2 I9100.
If nobody is having this issue, then I would guess it's something with my OS or phone.

This is cool! Can you also present the apps sorted by name ? The standard app ops show the apps in random order, so it's hard to find a specific app you are looking for, if it falls under a section with a lot of apps.

Thanks for that! It is actually a bug on our side which we'll try to get fixed by the next version! Feel free to suggest any improvements if you have an ideas too!

They are actually sorted so that the app which most recently used that OP is shown first. We'll try to add a sort option by the next version too though!

In App Ops X on the upper right side there's a "settings" button, and there on the unlocked version the first option is for turning off the notification. If you haven't unlocked (purchased) though and you see notifications from App Ops X then that's a bug which we'll try to fix ASAP.
Yeh I have upgraded, but still get notifications, even if unchecked in settings

My main concern is the device ID. is there anyway to stop apps from gaining access to that? Seems like a good app so far. Nice job

There isn't any way through the AppOpsManager as of yet. Even so, the device ID now isn't as unique as it used to be, since it's software generated as opposed to hardware. I'm still looking into it to confirm that it's so, but the most of the internet tells that it is.
