what do you want to auto update? I don't think any program will automatically update itself, but if you go into the market and click on "my downloads", it'll show you the programs you have downloaded and if there are updates available for them. Just click on the ones that say "update available" and then click on update.

that was kind of my point. you have to go in and manually do it. Can't imagine it's such a tedious task. Don't know if I'd want that to happen anyway. God forbid an update is buggy or causes problems. if it happened automatically it could create problems.

I can't imagine something like that being high on a priority list of things to add or fix. Too many other things in Android that need to be addressed, like copy/paste from a webpage, pim updates, UI improvements and such.
If I see an update available, I'm going to download it. I am not going to wait, go hunt out the devs website to see what changed, or wait for forum messages describing a new bug with the update.

Might as well do it automatically.
You don't understand how the Android updates work. Under Downloads your apps are listed, and if there are any apps, it will tell you, just like the iPhone app store. Can't be any simpler. Typically the apps will describe what the updates are as well, so you can decide if it's worthwhile to update or not.
I wouldn't want to update an app that works perfectly on my phone, only to get an update that fixes a bug on another phone, and have more lines of code / space taken up on my Android phone.
This is not like Windows / iPhone. An update may not be a good thing for your particular Android phone.

Hahah as Craig already said, he clearly understands...you are the one who misunderstood what he was saying. UNlike the iPhone, there is no update ALL button, or a function to auto update applications. Maybe you wouldn't like to update an app that works perfectly, but there are many many people out there, including myself, that update whenever an update is possible. Even updates that I've heard caused "bugs," for the must part, I've never experienced any decline in usage after an update, and if I do and it isn't fixed in a reasonable amount of time, I'll just get another application to do what I want. So yes, devs face issues, but the consumers inherit these issues. The reality is if we don't like it, or its buggy too often, we won't download it. We'll stay loyal to a dev that we know is working hard on fixing issues, and for that same reason, a lot of people update right away because they trust the dev to fix any issues that might arise. And also, downloading immediately also means helping the dev run their latest versions so you can report any errors.
i totally agree, when an update aval, i dont have the time to go to the dev site and see what he changed, i am doing all the updates and totally wish there was an update all button like on the iphone.

Holy old thread batman.... lol
I would never allow anything to auto update personally. I always watch for the bugs to show up first and see if it's something I can live with before I let anything update.
At least you're using the search feature.

Since getting official FroYo I'm no longer getting notifications for Market app updates, even though this option is checked. I've restarted the phone and I'm still not getting them. They worked fine with Eclair.

And just where did you get this "Official" Froyo ?
You do realize you're on the samsung moment forum complaining about problems on an htc phone right?
Ah. I hadn't noticed when I searched for Market update threads a few days ago. That and there was no specific mention of phone or brands in previous posts.

auto update for android market
Still doesn't change the fact that an auto update would be nice. For me.
