Stopping Maps from updating. no auto updates option. - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I downgraded google maps to the last non sucky version.
However, in Google Play there is no option to to un-check "automatic updates"
I need the rest of my apps to update automatically as i alpha/beta test other apps.
Anyone know a way to manually exclude a certain app from updating?
thanks!

If you're rooted and have titanium, you can break the market link with titanium backup.

Just selecting "Update over Wifi only" solved most of my auto-update troubles.

Google maps listed as not installed?

Does anyone's Google map appeared uninstalled in the android market? It keeps listing Google maps as an app not installed at the bottom of "my app" list. I reinstall it on my device each time, but every so often it reappear at the bottom the list as uninstall.
I've got this too -- also have it with the YouTube app.
I'm not sweating it, it'll probably get fixed in a subsequent OTA.
In "Market ", mine constantly shows as "downloading ".

Go to settings -> applications -> manage -> and clear data from market. Don't download youtube from the market because it's not the honeycomb optimized version (atleast wasnt for me)

Having the same problem. I've already tried the "clear data" approach, but it still does it. Not worried about it though because both apps work just fine for me, but it does need to be fixed.

Already did unfortunately. I think there was a youtube app right? that was somewhat honeycomb optimized? how do i get that back?
Its likely that the preinstalled versions do not exist on the market yet. It doesn't detect the newer version so it shows you maps since you probably have it installed on another device. Just don't worry about it. Once the first honeycomb maps update is out, it will fix itself.

I get this too, it does not bother me that it shows as not installed, even when i tell it to install it again, what gets me is that it keeps on giveing me that market icon that tells me there is an update or something else.

Automatically check auto-update in Play Market for all apps

Hi all,
I've done my Googling, and I can't find a satisfactory answer to this. I'm looking for a way to bulk toggle all of my apps in the market so that they are all set to auto-update.
At the moment I have to manually set some of these, but going through each app one by one (huge pain!). These problem seems exasperated by changing ROMs and doing a Ti apps backup. I think that Play doesn't set these to auto-update for some reason.
I've tried checking the option in Play settings to Auto-Update by Default, but this doesn't do it. There is no option on Play Website to do this either...which I thought might be possible.
There used to be an app (no longer available) called "Market Autoupdate Bulk Toggle" which seemed like it would do what I wanted, but it's defunct from what I can gather.
Is this possible? Or do I have to do one by one? My phone is rooted so I can use root apps if needed, using JellyTime R12 at the moment.
Thanks.

When you install a new ROM and on its first boot,sign in on your Google account on the first setup..Your apps will be restored with their settings..
Hit the Thanks button if i helped you:laugh:
Thanks for your reply.
I always do that...and it makes no difference for me. Since any new ROM starts with data enabled, I would have thought this worked... but alas no. This is why I need a script or something to check all those auto update flags.

Huh?
The auto update in the market only updates the apps that are currently installed on your phone. And that is only if the developer hasn't changed any of the permissions. If he has, you must manually update the app no matter what.
Titanium backup is the best way that I have found, even though it is still not automatic.

I think I found the answer with help of other xda users. Ti pro has a market preference to set all or individual apps to auto update or not.

Any way to auto update all apps?

I now have some 41 updates for my apps. Any way to auto-update these all at once?

[Q] Not able to update pre installed apps

Hello
I've just received my Nexus 4 and updated to 4.2.2 and associated it with a Google account however I'm unable to updated all the pre installed apps such as Talk, Google, YouTube, etc. The 'My apps' section doesn't shows any pre installed apps. Does this means I have to go in each and every app page and hit update from there
?
Thanks

It's really a one time thing with each pre-installed app that has an update available in the market. If you go to "Play Store > My Apps > All" they will likely be grouped at the bottom of this list.

Thanks for reply. I did looked into the 'All' list but it shows only the apps that I've installed via Play Store not the apps built in. I clearly remember my GN2 showed updates even for the pre installed when I switched it on for the first time.
So is this a normal behaviour in Nexus devices, and if yes, I'll actually need to open the app's respective page and then hit 'Update' from there?
Thanks
OK I don't know what happened, the updates started to show. Thanks all.

How long did it take before this happened? My wife's new phone isn't offering updates to the pre-installed apps, although if I search for each one individually they have updates available. It's been roughly 24 hours and they still aren't showing up. Thanks.

Roughly, 3 hours. Play Store started showing when I switched to a WiFi connection. I guess, it depends upon the Internet speed.
It's because a auto backup feature. To reinstall previous bought apps etc to your new phone.
It goes away after a little bit

Apps won't appear in the updates tab of the Play Store

Hi guys.
I thought it was strange not having updates for a while on the Store, so today I checked with a friend of mine and I saw that he had a lot of updates this morning, same apps that I use on my phone.
So I checked manually if there was any updates, but I had no items in the list:
As you can see, my list is completely empty (it says "No update avaible" or whatever... in italian), so I manually searched for an updated app. I tried Instagram and:
The app can be updated... how odd ("Aggiorna" is the italian for "Update"). So I've updated it and it appeared in the list of the up-to-date apps right after.
I erased the data of every single Google app, Google Play Services too, but I had no results.
How can I fix this? It's a pretty annoying thing.
Hi,
Did you use microG?
I have the same behavior with microG.
Or maybe you've restored apps with something like Titanium?
Once you updated the app on play store, future updates for this particular app will be shown on the update tab.
You made all the proper actions to try solving it, I guess.
In Titanium Backup, there's an option for linking apps to the Play Store. Maybe it can help.
