Android :: Is There Way To Watch For Updates To Apps Not Installed?
May 12, 2010
There are several apps that I have tried out and for various reasons the app didn't suit my needs so I uninstalled the app. Some of these apps were very close to what I was looking for so it is possible that a future upgrade to the app would make the app useful for my needs. In these cases, it would be nice to be able to have a list of these apps and get notified when an update is available. Is there a way to get notified of or monitor updates to an app that is not installed? I realize that I could just leave all these apps installed even though I wouldn't use them and then I would get update notifications through the marketplace, but that is just a waste of space and clutters the app drawer.

I'm new to Android. What happens when there are updates available to apps that I've installed from the market, and the pre-installed apps? Do I have to update it manually, and how? Or do they get updated automatically? I read that a new version of Google Maps is out, but I don't know how to update. My version does not display driving directions.

When I install an app via apk file (because let's say the app is not yet available in Play but the apk was leaked), will I be able to get updates through Play once it has arrived there? Or will I have to reinstall the app from the Play Store and loose all app-related data (for example game states...)?

I created a signed apk. I uploaded it to marketplace as usual. I also installed a copy of it on a device directly, perhaps as an email attachment.If I upload an updated version of the app to the marketplace, will the device be notified that a new version of the app exists on marketplace? Or does that update-alert system depend on the app being originally installed through marketplace?

I have recently purchased an unlocked HTC Desire. As you may or may not know, here in Australia the only carrier of the Desire is Telstra. However I use 3 mobile so that's the reason I purchased an unlocked device.
My problem is that my phone has about a dozen or more apps which are installed by Telstra and uninstallable. Most of them are 100% useless because I'm not even on their network and I'd like them out of my applications list.
I've had a read around and I saw something about being able to remove them by deleting the file and then uninstalling them using a command prompt program.
Would anyone please be able to give me detailed instructions on how to do this because I'm not sure how to find the system/apps folder and I'm also not sure on how to get the command prompt thing to work.

What apps are you all using to watch TV shows online. I got TV.com from the market but it's only certain broadcasting stations such as CBS. Are there any other out there for the HTC Droid Eris for NBC and ABC stations?

Has anyone noticed that when you install an application manually vs a downloaded one from the market it doesn't update when a newer version comes out?

I've done a bit of searching but haven't really turned up much.
Basically I just want to know if there's any apps available that will allow me to watch video files on my Desire over my home WiFi network.

I have recently updated about 10 apps manually that I already had on my G1, since I saw them relisted in the market (again) but higher up on the "by date" tab.This system is horrid.If a user has an app and a new release comes online it should not only notify the user it should offer to auto update and the first screen that pops up should be a release notes screen so we know why it was updated and what to look for.Another more minor annoyance is that devs seems to lose track of download counts and comments in new vers. This is much more minor, but useful to both the community and the device.If anyone from Android peeks in here, hopefully this makes a list of suggested improvements.

If I store some user settings and information in shared preferences in my android apps, and then I update the app in the Market, will those settings be erased when the app updates?

Pretty pissed off by the youtube app in X10.
Sound is always late by about 0.3s.
Its a real turn off to see the mouth move first, then hear the sound.
Is there any other apps which I can watch youtube in high quality, without facing this sound problem?
Or is there another better apps out there?

I have some pre-installed applications on my G1 (IM, HiDialer, some Chinese appplications etc.) But i cannot uninstall them. It just says: uninstall not succesful. I read some other topics about this and there werent many answers. Only thing some people reply is just: get rooted. What if I am rooted? Then how do I uninstall them?

I am working on an app that will be shipped on some phones. I have been thinking about how to update them once a new version is ready. How that would work for a pre-installed app? As an initial thought I think I could pop up a message letting the user know there is a new version ready, but if I could avoid unnecessary request to the server it would be better. If a google engineer comes across this please give me a hint as you do this for Google Maps.

How can I get the version information of the current installed apps on my phone. if I do : Package Manager packageManager = getPackageManager(); List<PackageInfo> packs = package Manager. getInstalledPackages(0); int size = packs.size(); apps += " Total apps = "+ size+" "; for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) { PackageInfo p = packs.get(i); apps += "App name: " + p.applicationInfo.loadLabel(packageManager).toString(); apps += "Package name: " + p.packageName; apps += "Version name: " + p.versionName; apps += ""; } tv.setText ("Installed apps:"+apps); I get all the apps currently installed. I wasn't able to figure out how to extract their correspondent version information.

Recently, I had to factory reset my Droid X running Froyo. I had downloaded some nice apps. But, when I restored my data, my apps were gone. Is there a list my downloaded apps stored someplace? Perhaps I missed a setting to do this.

I have a HTC desire with Froyo 2.2, I'm not sure whether this is a Froyo issue but some of the apps I install are not visible in my all apps view, when I go to the market screen it says that they are installed and I can open them from there but they do not appear as a widget or app anywhere on my phone. The latest app to not install properly is the droid comic viewer, again I can use it from the market screen but can't find it anywhere else on the phone.

I'm wondering if it is possible to uninstall a couple applications that came pre-installed on my Droid.
Apps such as Footprints and MOffice are just a waste of space and could do w/o.

I have a situation like this. I have a "A" app which shows on home screen. When I click this "A" app, It will show many other apps which installed or will be installed on the device. ut the problem is I only want to show these apps through the "A" app only.Is it possible?? If installing and hiding icons not possible, I can dynamically download these apps from my own cloud and load them at the request.
Can anyone please guide me some ideas or something?'m so lost here and just no clue at all how to start!

I put a few apps on my micro sd card (via phone mounted to pc over usb) then I opened astro and installed them on the phone. Apps work fine; but I can't update them? All it will let me do is buy them...? WTC?
The apps are 1)Beautiful Widgets 2)Office Suite 3)Switch Pro Widget
Phone: VZW HTC Incredible
Anyone know what the problem is? These apps all show update available but when I go into the market to let the apps get updated it won't let me; all it will let me do is buy...?
