I remember there was a good app that did the updating to all your apps - rather then having to do them manually one at a time. But I can't remember what it was called and can't find it...
Can anyone tell me what it is plz.
a track dog?
i think "my market" claims to do automatic updates, i think it didn't work for me. didn't like the app anyway, so i didn't extensively test it.
I don't think there is an app that does this?
I use atrackdog which obviously lets you know of updates when they're out.
It's still useful if you install apps from the SD as the Market won't realise these are installed.
I have ssked the developers if they could add an option to set scheduled updates.

I sometimes get notified that multiple apps have updates. Is it possible to batch update apps? ASTRO allows you to batch select apps for backup but not for update (unless I am missing something).
I would absolutely love this feature as well. When the OTA 1.1 update came out with update notification, I was hoping the dev for aTrack Dog would add this type of function to his software.
However... If someone did develop this type of software, I would be wary of using it after the issue with the Dev for PowerManager using bait-and-switch tactics to change his software from free, unlimited use, to a 3-day trial. I would hate to have my apps suddenly stop working because they're now trial software, or because of a bug that presented itself in a recent update which I might have read about in the comments when updating manually.
Of course the best way to add this feature is the way ASTRO app backup works. You click on each app or click the checkbox for all apps. To bad it only backups the apps.
Hello,
I am using aTrackDog and all works fine.
I just have the problem that it shows me sometime that there is an update for an installed app (e.g. "Finance" from Google - I have 1.0 & aTrackDog says there is 1.1 or Netcounter should be 0.7.1 or SnapPhoto 1.2.7 instead of 1.2.6) but when I go to this app at the Market there is no update available?!
What is going wrong here?
Any idea would be great, thanx in advance!
The problem with the way atrackdog works is that it relies on reports from G1 phones to update its database of apps and versions. Say an application developer releases a testing version of his app to a friend to give him feedback before publicly releasing it. If that friend uses atrackdog, then everyone else's copy of atrackdog will show there's an update available before it even hits the market.
Later versions of atrackdog allow application developers to flag applications as "testing versions" and they show up as green text in the app list. Still, not all devs participate in that part of atrackdog.
ok - I understand
Thank you for the explanation
Since updating to 1.5, is anyone elses atrackdog showing stock apps?? Mine is showing everything from googleapps to setup wizard & even the gmail app. I have set them to not check for newer versions, I was just curious if I am the only one. There's 16 stock apps all together in the list
@Beast84 ........ mine does the same, shows all the stock apps too! (Haykuro 1.5)

Not too big a deal. I was just curious if I was the only one
Yep no pay apps on the market not even if I scan a QR code wont let me see it any ideas on how to fix this...?
Google has not opened the Paid apps market to the whole world but only to a limited number of countries. It's annoying, I know.
If you still would like to see and purchase the paid apps, you must root your phone first and then install the application called Market Enabler and it will make some changes to fool Big G that you're from US on Tmobile networks and eventually open up the app store.
Theres still an other option. Find paid apps through other means, purchase through the developer's own site so they give you an .apk installer for manual installation. This method is the only option left if you don't want to root your phone like me.

Carty..

"Long Press" the provider you want to fake. Make sure you have the latest beta version from the developers googlecode home page.
IS it possible to update all apps at once on the N1? I've looked but can't find a way. maually updating each app is somewhat annoying.
No, if updating apps from the market.
And seriously, this is something that needs fixed. It can be quite annoying trying to update 15 applications one by one at work (I work for T-Mobile)
However, on my N1, I flash it so often that I seldom see an update available for an app.
I am the same. I use atrackdog to search for updates.

Atrackdog is by far the best app for this...
So in perusing my apps in the Play Store the other day, I noticed an app called SystemUpdates by chondong. I've never installed this app and there is no option to uninstall it.
It was created and forced into my phone on June 15.
I don't buy for one second that this is a system update app as the phone had the ability to search for and receive OTA updates prior to this being installed. The only description in English says "Update update the internal system of the application" (yes, it says update twice).
This is a Chinese phone and I'm very skeptical of what this app is.
Permissions are intrusive as well; see screenshots.
Any thoughts on this? Reading the feedback on the app, I'm not the only one concerned about this and it appears it doesn't only apply to ZTE, but other Chinese phones as well.
Let's keep this thread alive until someone can answer...
I just noticed the same app on my Axon A1R. One difference though - mine says it is produced by ZZte.
I have no idea when the app was installed (for sure less than 3 weeks ago - I know I went though all my apps because I was having WiFi issues and wanted to make sure it wasn't caused by a random app I'd downloaded). There is no way to uninstall it. I managed to disable it - but that just made the 'System updates' section disappear in the Settings>About Phone menu.
I'm starting to think that installing a mod OS published by some random person might be safer than using the Google approved, ZTE modified and FIDO distributed OS.

It looks to me that you need to do a factory reset, and discontinue installing non-play store apps.
If you did indeed get it from the Play Store, then report it to Google, so it won't be there anymore.
But I find it really hard to believe it came from the Play Store, as Google does a lot of testing of new apps.
