So the OTA update bumps Maps up to 3.4. So after the update, why am I getting the update notification from Market?
Anyone figure this out yet? May be an irrelevant question, but I'm curious.
I think they were two separate updates in terms of features. The OTA maps update was just the addition of pinch to zoom. The market maps update added some other random features [i don't remember exactly which but my friend with an MT3G got the same update through market with the same random features but no pinch to zoom]. idk. Long story short, I installed both, and didn't notice any significant changes from the market update.

I love how the iPhone does it it... by showing a number next to the application updates icon showing you how many and which apps can be updated. A simple click or two and your app is fully updated.
Will Android be able to do something similar? I don't see anything currently on notifying us of updates in the OS. There is a downloaded section in the android store that shows which apps you have downloaded and installed. I guess in here it could say "Update Avalble" next to an app that has been updated?
I really hope this feature is already there or will be added ASAP. There's going to be a tone of software hitting the store soon and most devs will probably release updates every 1-2 weeks. Right now, I don't think it's even possible to see what version of some apps you have installed.
So far what I encounter is that once I open and application and an update is available it asks if I want to download the new version. No so sure about the OTA build update...
Actually, it's quite annoying, for the apps I've had that are updated the update box pops up every minute or so until I hit update. This is only for marketplace apps.
My point is, don't worry. If you have an app that needs an update you're gonna know.
That's good news. I'm glad they thought of this. It's one of the things I disliked about WM. I'd have to open each app and check the version number, and then visit the devs website to see if there's a newer version available. I really like that I can now spend more time working (or playing) and less time checking on things like the latest updates.
That would be pretty annoying to have it pop up every minute or so... hopefully they'll fix that in one of the next updates. But if it were me I'd just update it right away so it wouldn't effect me.
What apps do you guys have giving you update notifications?
I had the following apps for the past 2 days that had updates but Android never notified me of the new updates:
QuickPedia
ShopSavvy
FatSecret
I had to visit the marketplace and scan for apps be newest release. If I clicked on one of my installed apps and there was a newer release it would have an "Install" link instead of the normal "Open" link.
are not coming through all the time. Sometime I get notified of updates but most of the time I have to go Downloads and check for updated apps.
Not sure if something breaking it or if it's a known glitch. I can only find some old threads about the subject (prior to 2.0) so I'm wondering if anyone experiencing the same issue.
My N1 is still stock and not rooted or anything.
I've noticed this too, i usually have like 2+ updates when i check in downloads but i never get notifications. I'm new to android so i thought that was normal or something
I take it you've set it (Market App) to notify you when there are new updates?
I have but the notifications are not coming through when there are updates.
Welcome to Google's Android Market. Sometimes you get 'em, most times you don't. Been that way since day 1.
Thanks for letting us know.
The update is in the market. The version number is different and if you update from the leaked version it dosen't seem to do anything. I uninstalled updates, then then updated and it seemed to do the trick.
Check out my review in the link below!
Thanks for the heads up!
Erm.... ok.
Head up cos hundreds of other apps probably got updated today too.
He's probably referring to the update process.
This version still does not give an option to disable 'direct dial'.
Maybe google slept enough with verizon to receive some evil influence.
Did anyone else notice their market automatically update? I just went on & there were some noticeable changes.
For one, you can now automatically update apps as well as update all with the click of a button. If you click on an app, there is now a related tab.
I knew a couple of those features would come with froyo but I thought the related tab was gingerbread exclusive.

As soon as I burned my phone with DK28 last Friday I noticed these changes as well. Much nicer now IMHO.
I flashed to DK28 a few days ago saw the Market updates for 2.2.1. Then I decided to flash back via ODIN (which after learning how to use is my new best friend) to DI18 and I had the regular ole' 2.1 Market. The next day I have the new and improved Market with the Allow Automatic Updates and Related tab. At first I though I did something wrong. But after further research I found out that a lot of phones are getting this update. www.coolsmartphone.com where I found the article and was relieved.
A while ago, I got a notification for an updated market app, so I installed it. It had comments separated, and an auto-update feature, and it worked fine, for a while. It started getting stuck on the download, so I removed the update. I liked it because of the auto-update. I had to hard-reset a couple of weeks ago, and I thought I'd get the notification again, but it didn't happen, then all of the sudden, the new market app is there, and it has the related tab. I was surprised because it didn't ask me to install it, it was just there.
Did anyone else get a notification to install the newest one, or was it just magically pushed to our phones? I like the new market app, but it disturbs me that it was there without my approval.
I'm on a rooted stock DI18 btw.
It was just there for me. No notification of any kind. I'm on Stock Di-18 never been rooted.

We also have a market widget like the 2.2 widget for us 2.1 users....although it doesnt work properly because it doesnt show any info like the froyo version does.
[Just got the Update this morning on my AT&T S10+ in Settings/ Software Update. 1489Mb download and took it a While to install & Restart. Running Smooth!!!
Any significant improvements or updates? I have AT&T as well, but froze the update as for now so I am still on One Ui 2.0
Does the update allow side swipe gestures with 3rd party launchers?
I updated ,but one of the camera can't work.
A camera not working is a bug. Good thing I have the OTA update frozen or else I would be mad that I updated.
