Your phone doesn't check the store for updates very often. Probably only like 1 time a day. But in most cases, that is plenty. So you were just in between the times it was checking for updates.
Once you go to an app though, it's like manually checking for the update, so that's why it showed up then.
Microsoft commented that it was an issue they were working on.
My suggestion is to use an app as SysApp Pusher, add all your apps and check periodically if there are updates with it.
Do you have cellular data, or another always-on Internet connection, enabled? I have heard that if the phone can't connect to the Internet at the scheduled check-for-Store-updates time, it simply skips it. If that time falls at a point when you have limited or no Internet access every day, it will never show waiting updates at all.

I heard that too, but how can I find when is that time? I cant, right?
apps like SysApp Pusher or Update Checker can scan and show you which apps have updates...
in SysApp Pusher you can make list of own apps to check updates... and dont forget make first scan for updates after install SysApp Pusher to retrieve current version info from store

I have an unusual issue with my HD7, i live in a country that doesn't support marketplace but my hotmail account is based in america. I usually can download apps normally but for the past week it tells me "attention required. Tap here." when i do tap i get "Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while." this is after the app goes into downloads and it also happens when i want to update an app. although i can add apps through zune software, so far i only added the 7dialer app and it worked. If anybody has any idea what this is please help, thanks.
Known issue. I believe the work around is to uninstall the app. When you reinstall it, it'll be the latest version. The only bummer is you lose your settings, saves, etc.
i've been searching around for answers. there are a lot of questions similar to mine, yet no one conclusive and simple answer.
i want to achieve two things :
1. for those with auto updates, i want them to just install directly without me having to click update at all.
2. for those that require manual update, why can't they install automatically even though i've already checked "enable auto updates"? I want these to be automatically available too.
some might say i would want to review the changes before updating it. for my case, i don't really case - i prefer to stick to the latest version, even if there's bugs/new quirks etc.
thanks!
Tick "allow automatic updating" for all the installed apps in palystore
And then go to playstore settings>auto update apps
hi,
somehow it doesn't work for certain apps even if i check auto-update. for instance, ASTRO file manager always gets updated manually instead of auto.
any idea what's happening?
Apps require a manual upgrade if their permissions change so requiring hitting accept is security related. (At least this is my understanding, feel free to correct me)
i guess thats correct.. i have seen that the apps mainly comes up as manual updates are when more permissions are added..

there is another app-specific option for disabling auto update. It means, even when auto updates are enabled, they will ask for permission! This helps not updating big games! To check that, go to the app on play store, hit the menu (hardware touch), check if Auto update is ticked! :good:

Yes that's correct. The manuel update is needed for new permissions and for the apps you have install through a explorer
Hi
The latest google search crash on my rom, so I don't want to update it from play store, but I don't know how to disable the update for the apps that I want. I tried to detach from market with titanium but still wants to update it.
any idea?
if you go to Google Play, select the app, there is check box that can disable automatically updating. You'll still get a push notification of the update, but you can clear it and won't show up till a reboot.
There is setting within Google Play to change autoupdate for all apps too.

No, that's not that I wanted to ask.
I have auto-updates disabled, but when I go to "my apps", play store shows all my apps that needs to be updated, if I click the update button, all of them starts the update, I want to play store don't show that app so it will never update.
Right now I need to update all of them, then look to search and then cancel that one.
Its just like he said on the new play store auto update is under options on the particular app screen if you uncheck that that app wont update on you..i know dor a fact because i have a few apps set that way...wallet in particular because the new play store auto set everything to auto update and screwed mtly wallet up for a bit and i had to find the auto uodate option.
I don't know of any other way. You may want to try to side load the application. I know the apps I side load, which are not available in the US, don't update the usual way. Some I was to get when you could still use MarketEnable and other similar apps. This has been my experience with NFL Game Pass, BBC iPlayer, etc. They don't show up having an update. I have to go to all apps in the my application list, and manually check all app, and manually update those apps that show an update is available.
I'm not saying it'll work. It's just might do what you're seeking.
Also, TB did an update and had something about delinking. You may want to give it another try.
Personally, I had a few apps I didn't want to update. I would either update the apps I wanted one by one. Otherwise, when I hit update all, I would just hit the one I didn't, and hit stop update. Hopefully, the app wasn't the first to be updated.

Odd.. I notice these having updates, but they don't get listed in with the available updates in the "My apps" section in Google Play.
If you go to the apps individually in Google Play though, it shows an "update" button (clicking the other apps by this developer link is helpful in finding the others BTW).
This sounds familiar for some system apps, but not others (many Google apps auto-updated when I first activated the phone, even before I could get to the UI to turn off auto-updating). Anyone found a way to actually find -all- apps that have updates?

Oh man I hate the autoupdating, I always turn that off, I like to be in control of that. I don't know why that setting doesnt save when you get a new phone or wipe your device.
The updates may be rolling out in phases. I recipes those updates yesterday afternoon while I was setting g the phone up for the first time.
Restart your phone and you'll get them
XT1097 - AT&T Version. When I go to My Apps in Play Store it only shows an update for an app if I've previously downloaded that app manually. Otherwise I have to search out the app, but when I find it it does show an update available in both the search list and when I click on the app. Example, I had not previously downloaded Hangouts and so it did not show under the update available section or all section under my apps, but when I search "Hangouts" it shows update instead of free in search list, and update and open as options when I click on it.
Finding this weird, I reset the phone and logged into another google account where I had never downloaded any android apps.... and the phone showed exactly zero updates available. Same thing happens whether I check immediately on reset phone (before new version of play store is installed) and after play store has been updated.
I ended up just manually searching through all apps by name, and then every google made and motorola made apps and it found 40 total updates (up from 13 from my first account, and zero with my second account)
Any idea whats going on here? Shouldn't all apps that have updates available show under my apps whether I have ever manually downloaded them or not?
So let me reduce my question then: if an android phone comes pre installed with an app that your google account has never downloaded, should the phone show an update for that app under my apps without manually searching?

Yes, it should... BUT... It seems that all of moto's apps are strangely exempt from that rule.
