Hi
I'm looking for a simple app that allows to selectively update multiple apps from Android market at the same time. At the moment I have 15 apps that could be updated but want to update only 10 of them. It's boring and time consuming to click each one and update. I'd like to just select all that I want to update and click "Update selected". Do you know such app?

I've just released a new application onto the Android Market if anyone would like to try it. I really apreciate your feedback !
The application is "Apps to Phone" and the purpose is to simplify the install process on your phone. In other words the appliction will receive messages from androlicious.com and start the install process.
The steps required are:
1. Download & Install "Apps to Phone" application from Android Market
2. Start the application and connect your phone with Androlicious website
3. From the website go to an application details page and click on "Send To Phone"
The application doesn't install anything without user permission, I find this more safe than other solutions even if this requires an extra step.
(The application only works if you have Android 2.2 or later)
Changelog
v1.0
Initial version
Tried this, but it just opens the market with the app you select on the site. I guess Auto-Installer is not working. Any ideas?

For the moment this is the main functionality, is just to simplify the install process so you don't have to search the app from the phone. Just go to a website, browse and send apps to phone.
I'm aware of the auto install (like the app from app brain) ...but that is a "hack" not a solution. Google already released some updates and that solution doesn't work anymore.
The auto feature will be included only if that solution is official and supported by the Android API.
thanks for feedback
Okay nice. One more request, probably a long shot but worth asking. I believe 2.2 introduced C2DM which is what is used by these types of apps. Is it possible to use the C2DM API to push apk files on a PC to a phone and auto-install them?
I believe not. Through C2DM it is recommended to send short messages only, like a notification. The application, based on the message received can perform actions, like downloading files from a URL...
The problem with the auto-install is that you need a special permission for installing packages, but that permission is only available for system apps. For the moment only one solution exists for auto-install, and that is to trick the Google Talk service to start the installation...
Ooh okay. Thanks. Good luck for Androlicious and let us know when auto-install feature becomes available
Hi all. I'm new, first of all my compliments for this community and the forum. I've just a question: how are notified updates of default apps like gmail, youtube, gmaps and so on? For example I find out new updates only by searching the apps in the market. Aren't default apps updated automatically? How can I find out new updates for them? Thank you for attention
Yeah they should update automatically; they always have for me.

But also for gmail and gmaps?? I had to open market and check out for every default apps. After this it has started to advise me for updates. But for example what about the music default applications? or the navigations' one? Where can I look for updates? Or will they update when new android's system will be released? I'm not sure to be clear.
Any idea?

sooo, here's my question, i set an app to allow auto updating, well, when exactly does the market auto update? right now i have a few apps that have an update (not a manual one) but they're just sitting there not updating, so when does the market just update the apps? is there a certain time of day it does it?
This is something I've wondered as well. Couldn't ever find an definitive answer.
The market probably automatically checks for updates once or twice a week. If an update is released before the system's autoupdate feature turns on, there maybe a period of time when your apps are a few days behind.
I figured it was whenever you opened up your market. It usually checks for updates upon opening and downloads them for me.
Hope that helps

maybe press menu while in market and click on my apps. it might depend on which version of market you are using.
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.
After upgrading to latest build the tab to kill background apps after 10 minutes in the ram Manager is gone.. What's the deal with that?
There was a feature in the Smart Manager app under the RAM section called Manage Apps that would let you have the ability to choose to auto stop the apps you choose after 10 minutes. Apparently, this feature was removed with the latest security update.
I believe the app optimization takes the place of the manage app feature.
