There is a modified play store app on xda somewhere that disables apps from even checking for updates so there is no automatic d/l's but for the life of me I can find it. I had it on my old d3 that just died but didn't have a backup of it. If u find it b4 I do PLEASE post a link or something

Titanium Backup will do it, but you need the Pro version. ROM Toolbox will also do it.

i have pro, and no it doesnt. its supposed to but it still has the option to update whenever i go into the play store.
you can detach it from the market but it doesnt actually do anything
when you download an app, make sure you do not click the automatic download, and it shouldn't automatically update. IT will ask if you want to, but not do it automatically.
you can also on your phone, slide screen to the "all" page, and right column there is a circle with a dash through (the universal "NO" sign). Click on that and it will remove it from your download history. This may help as well.
:cyclops:
Rom toolbox will also let you break links. I have used it to break apps from Amazon to use after I deleted their app. Maybe that app will work. Never tried it to not update an app.

just to clarify, its not setup to automatically download. in the list or available updates, when you select "update all", this is where the problem is. i want to get it out of that list so i can just use that button. rom toolbox requires pro to break market links and i dont want to buy it just for that.
goldsmitht- what is that second thing you mentioned? ive never seen something like that

He is talking about the "remove from my apps" option on the play store, when your viewing your installed apps you can swipe the screen from right to left and you will see all the apps associated with your Google account. There is a little circle with a dash through it like goldsmitht mentioned, you can touch the circle and remove apps from your Google account. But it won't allow you to do it if the app is installed so you would have to save the apk then uninstall the app, remove it from your account from the play store like goldsmitht mentioned, then side load the apk and you will have the app installed and it won't show up in the play store.

Make sure "unknown sources" is checked in settings>security before installing the apk.

The app store will still detect that app the next time he enters the store and put back in the list

In Titanium Backup, if long-pressing on an app there's an option to Attach to Market. My thinking is that with this option, if I have an app on my phone that was not downloaded from the Market, I could 'attach to market' in order to receive update notifications for the app.
Is this wrong? Because I've attached an app to the market via titanium backup, but it doesn't show under My Apps in the Market.
Thanks for the help/clarification!
Yes, when you buy an app from the market, it comes almost like it's signed or something. There is a verification of it somewhere on the google servers. That's why it tells you download denied. Hope that helps a bit... So all amazon free apps must wait for amazon to update

so to clarify, if i download an app (.apk) and copied it to my sd card, then installed it on my phone and 'attached' it to the market via titanium backup, it won't really do anything? like, this doesn't make the market think i downloaded it from the market?
For paid apps, no... If you attach to market then clear market data and reboot phone, it could show up under your app lost... But if you try and update it... It will tell you update declined... So basically yeah, force attach doesn't really do much in that situation

Besides not loading Google Apps like Google Reader, is there anyway to stop the annoying "Google needs permission" request that are constantly popping up. I keep saying no but "apparently, no doesn't mean no" with Google.

If you go under the System Settings, then under security, uncheck "Verify Apps"
Thanks. I am sure they will still datamine but what I don't know won't hurt me,..LOL.
Hour later...still getting Permission Requested.
You did uncheck the option that "wingcook" posted? Is this happening when you restore apps via tibu or when installing via GPlay?
I know this works for TB. With it unchecked, I don't get any warning from TB or from play store.

Yeppers, I unchecked it. I do tibu. Since it was Google + and Google Reader making the requests and I don't use them, I uninstalled them. Hopefully, problem solved.

According to Engadget, it's from Google, hypothetically to allow users to control their new G+ sign in (afaik, only Tunein Radio has this implemented right now).

And if one wants to remove it???
All it's got in it is:
Google+ sign-in
Google Maps Access
Ads Yes/No.
Doesn't seem to show up anywhere that I can readily delete.

You can hide it from the drawer if your launcher has that feature, but you won't be able to permanently delete it.
It doesn't do much yet, but Google+ universal sign-in was just launched this week and if developers start picking this up and allowing you to sign in to their service using your Google+ account then this is where you will have the ability to revoke app's permissions.
I think they are setting some groundwork to make other changes in managing your Google account from your phone and that we will probably see quite a bit more show up in this app over time. I'm really hoping for a full mobile equivalent to the Dashboard webpage

That makes more sense. Without that explanation, Google Settings just seems like a waste of space.
As with some of you, I do not like the 7.x version of Google Maps. So, I am using a 6.x version of Maps. Using Titanium Backup, I "detached" the Maps app from Market, so when I do a bulk or auto update, the Maps app is not updated. About 1-2 days after I detach Maps from market, using Titanium Backup, I notice that the Maps app shows up again in Market and shows needing to be updated. This has happened several times in the past few weeks.
Not sure what or if I am doing anything wrong.
How can I permanently detach an app from showing up in Market?
What could be causing the app to show up in Market after being detached using Titanium Backup?

I've been experiencing the same thing with the most recent titanium and play store - apps will detach for a day or two but they will still have updates in the "my apps" section.
Interestingly enough, when I get notifications for updates it doesn't mention the detached apps. Haven't figured out a fix yet...

Why not just turn off notifications and auto-updating in the Play Store, rather than trying to detach all your apps? I haven't quite found a time when detaching from the store is a benefit, other than if you share apps with people.

I never auto update for example, for a while I didn't want to update Google Wallet because you had to change your build.prop back and you could screw it up if you had it working. I like getting notified when updates are available for all my other apps, and just hitting "update all" in the Play Store when I have some time to let it update. Unfortunately, since I couldn't detach Wallet, it would always try to update with the rest of my apps whenever I hit "update all". Detaching it from the market would be perfect in this situation

Hi all, since some days (may be one month) when I try to download or update an application from the play store, sometimes it's downloaded/updated twice. For being more clear, when the app is first downloaded and the progress bar is full, Play store re start the download process. It's quiet annoying because my mobile data is eaten by that...
It's very random, sometimes an app do that, sometimes not. It's often graphicals apps (theme, icon pack...), and sometimes other like FKU...
Does anybody other than me have this issue, and also a solution ?

Happens to me also. FKU does it every time. Duolingo just did it as well.
This might help Go in to your settings and then applications go to all and look for the play store and clear cache and data then force stop. Go back to home screen and then open play store and accept the T&C hopefully this will help.

Uninstall playstore download the Latest play store and install then reboot......:angel: fixed for me....
Thanks Marilyn10, I appreciated your suggestion but it worked till Google Play app update, then the issue appears again. So probably it is due to Google Play app update....
