I downloaded a LOT of apps since purchasing my MyTouch...do i really have to do anything to update these progs or is there an autoupdate somewhere?
You should get auto notifications when there's an update for the apps you have installed. Then you chose to install or not.

I sometimes get notified that multiple apps have updates. Is it possible to batch update apps? ASTRO allows you to batch select apps for backup but not for update (unless I am missing something).
I would absolutely love this feature as well. When the OTA 1.1 update came out with update notification, I was hoping the dev for aTrack Dog would add this type of function to his software.
However... If someone did develop this type of software, I would be wary of using it after the issue with the Dev for PowerManager using bait-and-switch tactics to change his software from free, unlimited use, to a 3-day trial. I would hate to have my apps suddenly stop working because they're now trial software, or because of a bug that presented itself in a recent update which I might have read about in the comments when updating manually.
Of course the best way to add this feature is the way ASTRO app backup works. You click on each app or click the checkbox for all apps. To bad it only backups the apps.
i've been searching around for answers. there are a lot of questions similar to mine, yet no one conclusive and simple answer.
i want to achieve two things :
1. for those with auto updates, i want them to just install directly without me having to click update at all.
2. for those that require manual update, why can't they install automatically even though i've already checked "enable auto updates"? I want these to be automatically available too.
some might say i would want to review the changes before updating it. for my case, i don't really case - i prefer to stick to the latest version, even if there's bugs/new quirks etc.
thanks!
Tick "allow automatic updating" for all the installed apps in palystore
And then go to playstore settings>auto update apps
hi,
somehow it doesn't work for certain apps even if i check auto-update. for instance, ASTRO file manager always gets updated manually instead of auto.
any idea what's happening?
Apps require a manual upgrade if their permissions change so requiring hitting accept is security related. (At least this is my understanding, feel free to correct me)
i guess thats correct.. i have seen that the apps mainly comes up as manual updates are when more permissions are added..

there is another app-specific option for disabling auto update. It means, even when auto updates are enabled, they will ask for permission! This helps not updating big games! To check that, go to the app on play store, hit the menu (hardware touch), check if Auto update is ticked! :good:

Yes that's correct. The manuel update is needed for new permissions and for the apps you have install through a explorer
How do you stop apps from checking the market for updates and how can apps that have been installed on my phone just stop working and force you to update?

I use Autorun Manager and uncheck most receivers for apps that connects for upgrades or looks for advertisements. Also uncheck those that tries to last on memory even when you kill them.
But if you are saying about Google Play updates, look for version that upgrades only when wifi is on, or set apps for manual updates.
Hope this helps.
Hi
The latest google search crash on my rom, so I don't want to update it from play store, but I don't know how to disable the update for the apps that I want. I tried to detach from market with titanium but still wants to update it.
any idea?
if you go to Google Play, select the app, there is check box that can disable automatically updating. You'll still get a push notification of the update, but you can clear it and won't show up till a reboot.
There is setting within Google Play to change autoupdate for all apps too.

No, that's not that I wanted to ask.
I have auto-updates disabled, but when I go to "my apps", play store shows all my apps that needs to be updated, if I click the update button, all of them starts the update, I want to play store don't show that app so it will never update.
Right now I need to update all of them, then look to search and then cancel that one.
Its just like he said on the new play store auto update is under options on the particular app screen if you uncheck that that app wont update on you..i know dor a fact because i have a few apps set that way...wallet in particular because the new play store auto set everything to auto update and screwed mtly wallet up for a bit and i had to find the auto uodate option.
I don't know of any other way. You may want to try to side load the application. I know the apps I side load, which are not available in the US, don't update the usual way. Some I was to get when you could still use MarketEnable and other similar apps. This has been my experience with NFL Game Pass, BBC iPlayer, etc. They don't show up having an update. I have to go to all apps in the my application list, and manually check all app, and manually update those apps that show an update is available.
I'm not saying it'll work. It's just might do what you're seeking.
Also, TB did an update and had something about delinking. You may want to give it another try.
Personally, I had a few apps I didn't want to update. I would either update the apps I wanted one by one. Otherwise, when I hit update all, I would just hit the one I didn't, and hit stop update. Hopefully, the app wasn't the first to be updated.
After the last firmware update (10.3.1.A.0.244) I've noticed that phone tried to autoupdate all apps installed by me. I am not sure if it has anything to do with firmware update itself or was it turned on before, but does anyone know where can I turn that 'feature' off? I wouldn't like to loose flash support on Firefox when it unexpectedly updates.
Play Store -Settings - Auto-Update apps - Do not auto-update apps, done.
