[Q] HTC Desire C Disable updates for whatsapp and system update - HTC Desire C

I have HTC Desire C and have installed whats-app in it. I have a limited prepaid internet plan. The problem is even after disabling the update option from Google play, it still keeps automatically updating itself each time a new Whats-app release comes.
Also I have disabled android updates from settings menu, but still, once in a month or so a small update gets downloaded automatically, without showing any notice.
I have also installed Android firewall to stop applications from updating itself on my prepaid plan and only update if wi-fi is on. Still the above problem remains.
I bought the phone a few months back and have only installed whatsapp and a few games from google play so no virus problem also.
I don't understand why this is happening. Please help.

Check if your play store is upto date...the latest version is 4.4.21...you can google and download the apk

Ok, I will check the google play version and try to install the latest one. After installing this latest version of Google Play I'll have to wait till the next update of whatsapp, only then will I come to know whether it has stopped updating itself automatically or am I still facing the same problem.
Till then I have to wait and will update you if I get the problem again.

Check Whatsapp See if that has a auto update feature

No, any of the software's that we download doesn't have an auto update option disabling feature in them. I tried to search my phone if by any chance I could find out the auto update file of whatsapp and then delete it, but culdn't find any files.
I would like to know, if we want to see the installation files of any software on our android phone, by connecting it to the computer, how can we do it.

I hope am not duplicating posts ... is there any way one can revert to the old build? The new one 0.4.1.26 is really buggy. Thanks

Are you rooted? If not, then the version of GV which came with your stock ROM is definitely still there. Go to Market and find Google Voice, and it should give you the option to uninstall updates. If you're rooted it may still be there too depending on how you have or haven't modified the phone.
If there is a specific build you want that is newer than the one on your ROM, you may have to hunt for it.
I am rooted. Had disabled the auto update. Flashed with CM 6 and installed froyo apps with it and had the option to uninstall updates. Restored a certain back up from sdcard and that somehow made it pull the update. Now that uninstall updates option is now gone. Will hunt. Thanks.

If you know the release date of the current version, maybe you can try to find a Gapps zip from shortly before that date. Open it up and grab the .apk you want, and replace the one in the system apps directory.

There should be plenty on google. Search 4.0.12
GV 0.4.1.26 -> 0.4.1.12 Downgrade

[Q] New Android Market (2.2.6)

Hi,
I have seen that some people have posted the latest version of the Android Market (2.2.6) as an apk file.
My questions are:
- If it will this work on DHD and correctly overwrite the old Market app and the market update utility ?
- Is installing the app this way legal ?
So anyway I did install it and it works fine.
A much needed upgrade.
I believe you can use this new market .apk file without problems, but I've read that a new official update is cooming soon, so if you doubtful if it's illegal, just wait.
It is working well here. If anyone wants it
Taken from here
Go to Settings>Applications>Mange Applications>Market>Clear Data... then install.
For some reasson I can't update it =(...
Wiped old market installed fine

Uhhh for me it seems to be the other way around :S! The new one loads almost instantly, the old one took a few more seconds.
cud my longer start-up time be related to the fact that i downloaded the apk file from here and installed the update manually ?
Thanks for the post.
Runs perfectly on my DHD. Better than the old version actually. A very welcome market update.

I wiped data after i downloaded and installed the New Market apk File. I still am facing the issue of waiting for the market to launch . Takes Abt 5s and is irritating. Is this normal ?

Maybe the latest version of YouTube is not supported or completely unstable in the stock éclair ROM so I recommend you to search the Web for older version of YouTube in APK file format its totally free!
Because the latest version of YouTube app is needed the Google play services to run. That's maybe the point.
Sorry for my bad English
Thanks if I helped you. Good luck

Youtube problem
Was this fixed? I also have the same problem. I'm using Sky Vega a820L (Korean Android phone), rooted, MIUI rom, and lately after updating my youtube app the thumbnails began not to show anymore and every time i open it it pops with the same error "there was a problem starting up. Please check your network connection and system time."
I have tried the following solutions (see below) but it never worked:
- clear cache
- clear data
- un-install/re-install app
- downloaded different versions (apk file)
please help! :crying::crying::crying:
Had the same problem on the stock version...
- tried to install Youtube for froyo !
- tried different time settings
- Changed DNS
I think the problem is relied to this version and Google servers. Because, sometimes without doing nothing, Youtube works again !!
We can say this issue is solved now :
if it's not relied to time (cause of certificate validity..) or connection problem.
Try to verify these things :
1- Check if you are using any firewall app witch may be blocking Youtube or some of google servers... Allow it
2- Like many mobile geeks, I'm sure you are using an Ad-blocking app like Adaway, disable it to restore original hosts status..
If it solved the issue,
You need to apply new filters again, and edit the hosts file that you can find in /system/etc
And remove any ads server relied to youtube or Google
Google sucks for this ! Good luck

[Q] [HELP] Updating social Camera apps

Hi! First Sorry for my English, ill try to explain myself as best as I can.
I have my phone carrier locked, with Orange Spain, and the didnt released 4.3 yet, so I updated my phone to it changing build.prop and via Sus.
Everything works well, I flashed Centroeuropean 1. But when I tried to install Social Camera apps, I saw that only few were available. Not infoeye nor Defocus.
But Motiongraph and motionshot yes.
So I sideloaded the apks, and they are working, but I have some questions:
Werent all the apps ported to our phones, so the must be availabe in Sony select?
If a update is launched for the sideloaded apks, I will get a notification on update center?
I know that the update center works well, because I alredy updated the album with the new rom, but I have a doubt with the sideloaded apks. (btw, when installed, they requested the "Use update center to check for updates" permission)
Thanks to all!
No need to worry about the checks and controls etc.
You need to go to settings > Security and check box for unknown sources.
After that you can check here for some camera apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646031
Not all of them tho. Most of them can be found in the Play Store

One last question please. My phone is carrier locked, I was only receiving my carrier's updates, and always late, because is Orange.
As I writed, now I installed European 1 stock rom 1272-3352. And I received a update for the album from the update center.This never happened before, because Orange never released an update for the phone, and they are already with the 4.1.2.
Does it mean that im going to receive future updates like a free bought phone? For example, if Sony releases 4.4 (I hope it) ill be able to update when they do the rollout for Europe, or I would stay until my carrier rolls?
Yes It will use the rom data you have installed

Android Auto on rooted HTC M8 with ARHD Rom version 53.1 - Not working

Hi,
I have an m8, and i can't seem to download the app from Google Play, cause apparently it doesn't compatible with my device.
From reading online about i know it's not true. I can only assume it's some how connected to the face that my phone is rooted.
So i wondered how can i still download and install the app ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated as I'm about to get a new car in which i can use the app on it.
that's the rom i'm using -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694917&page=2705
Thank you
Chaim
Well i solved the problem .
Apparently the stupid Play Store decided on it's own that the app is not compatible.
and it's apparently doing so to a lot of other device that are compatable with the app.
So, all i did was to download the app apk from AppMirror.
Although the new version 1.6 didn't work, but when i installed 1.5 the app worked like a charm.
Hope it will help others that want to install to app but can't do so from the Play Store.
Cheers ...
