Market Auto Update

[CuBz]

Hey everyone,
I have alot (and I mean ALOT) of apps on my Xperia, so I get around 5 app updates a day, which is now starting to agitate me because most of them are the same apps everyday needing updates.

Today I heard about an update for the market that includes an auto update feature for installed apps. But I, like many others, do not see this option on the market.

Does anyone have any idea how to get it? or if I can't get it, when can I?

Thanks in Advance

I think it's a 2.2 feature


Market Autoupdate Bulk Toggle - Android app on AppBrain

Hi CuBz

My turn to turn provider i see

Go into the MARKET - select your DOWNLOADS

then if you open each individual app, at the top of the screen

Check Box that says "ALLOW AUTOMATIC UPDATING"

just tick it and away you go

means you can choose which apps to do auto and which to do manual

hehehe

EDIT **unless you meant your market hasn't updated that allows you to do this**

That's what I remember seeing in a screenshot earlier on, but I don't have that option on mine

only thing i can think of is force closing Market and Market updater in your application manager in settings menu - then rebooting phone - possibly taking battery/sim out for 30 seconds first just incase that forces your phone to update your market settings

you rooted or not ?

Ok i'll give that a try now

and yes I am rooted, but have only been rooted for 2 weeks

 

[MrWomble]

and yes I am rooted

Well i don't know what i am talking about but it may be worthwhile if that option doesn't work out for you, seeing if rooted users have that update to the market or not - similarly with non rooted

just a thought - but actually might be logical

i myself am non rooted

Ok well I may do a factory reset. If I can get auto update after doing that, it will be worth it, otherwise I'll be an angry guy lol

EDIT: OK I unrooted, then checked, and it still wasn't there, so I re-rooted

 

[MrWomble]

Take it the reboot of the phone had no effect ?

Nope, neither did the unroot

But I have a backup in progress, and I will be restoring the phone when it's done

Different market accounts updating at different times - though i find that hard to imagine

Go into application manager - then scroll through to findand open MARKET - do you have an option that says UNINSTALL UPDATES

if so try doing that then rebooting

** EDIT **

Just tried that method on mine and it updated the market back automatically within a few minutes - running on wifi

** EDIT AGAIN **

Just noticed there now seems to be smart searching as per normal google website - now you don't have to get the name accurate

I had no option to uninstall it, so I decided to re-install the OS using SEUS.

But halfway through it stopped updating, now I'm stuck with a dead phone, and although SEUS states it can still be updated, it will not update, I am just constantly getting "Please Wait" on SEUS, and on my phone I am just getting an image of a phone with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it,

 

[MrWomble]

UH - OH thats not good - no idea what to suggest after that as i have never rooted/unrooted

Well I've very literate when it comes to this part, so I should have it working again in about 10 minutes

EDIT...

Sorted it, and re-installed software, but still no Auto-Update

 

[MrWomble]

Thats no good - maybe a case of wait and see - might be similar to Sony's updates - goes through certain firmware/basebands first ??

I'm on the same baseband, and network as you lol

Not necessarily - ROSERED is on T-Mob with same firmware update but in the service menu my software version is slightly different to hers

think mine is superior lol esp as i have my camera noises and she doesn't lol

What firmware you on?

 

[MrWomble]

Take a look - decided to screenshot it as it was quicker

 

[CuBz]

Slightly different...

 

[MrWomble]

Same as ROSERED

The ETS and CUSTOMIZATION builds are different - maybe the reason, maybe not, wouldn't surprise me though

Strange. I wonder why that is

 

[MrWomble]

I would assume that you got your phone direct through T-Mobile therefore had all their branding etc

I got mine at Carphone Warehouse - who mainly deals in factory standard unlocked handsets
