Automate Force Update - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hi everybody
I use a phone as timekeeper with this application:
"Marcatempo Plus" https://play.google.com /store /apps /details?id=com.valeprog.prova
The phone is always on and the app is always running.
How can i say to the phone to close the app, upsate it from the play store and then open it again?
Is there a way?
For opening it and keep it open I use autostart and stay.
Thanks for the answer
Enrico

Auto-end list?

What exactly is the purpose of adding apps to the Auto-End list? I've added IM, VZ Navigator, Voicemail (since I use Google Voice) and a few others, but whenever I open Task Manager those apps are still open and I have to end them manually.

I do believe it automatically terminates those programs/processes after a certain amount of time after the screen shuts off. But when you turn the screen back on, the processes restart.
Is there a way to keep those apps closed permanently? Also, is there a way to stop it from opening Verizon Media Manager every time I plug in the phone? Or do I just have to wait for root to remove those apps?

The Verizon Media Manager is opened through the drivers installed on your computer. I believe there may be a thread on that somewhere on XDA.
As far as permanently keeping those processes closed, we might have to wait for root to come in order to do that.

You can disable the Verizon Media Manager launch by right-clicking the little blue Motorola icon in the notification area on your computer and then selecting "Do Nothing" form the launch when phone is connected options.

How to avoid play store update for an app

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.

Google Music - Always ON - HELP

I have recently noticed that "Google Music" is always running when I check Active Application via Task manager.
Even if I End it manually it gets on again automatically even when I have not used this particular app.
I am on official latest JB and I have done things like restart phone and manually stopping it from application, but all in vain.
Plz Help

Cmon u mean everybody have same problem and they all install sum app frm store to circumvent it - Not possible.
There has to to be sum normal fix within phone - Maybe sum more ppl can chime in
Its a google app like play store and maps. It will always run in the background. There is a way, root your phone, delete the apk from system app so that it becomes a normal app and use greenify to hibernate the app. So far tested on maps, google music, google search and google plus. Apps were hibernated when not using and able to launch like a normal app.
Tried on play store and play services. End up in a laggy phone and hangs till i did a restore. So stay out of these 2 app.

Sideload apps disappear

Have a Galaxy Gear, non-root.. default launcher
sideloaded 2 different calculator apps and they both disappear shortly (for sure after a watch reboot, but it might in fact disappear even earlier)
i saw some post telling to backup and restore after.. is there any easier way to make sure all sideload app stays there?
Notice that Gear Manager -> Application does not show any sideload app.. is that the reason?
thanks
Your sideloaded non-gear certified apps will disappear once you open Gear Manager. Gear manager does not support non-Gear certified apps.
If you need Gear Manager to adjust some settings, then Just set whatever you need in Gear Manager, back out. Then restart your Gear.
All your sideloaded apps will remain in the launcher as long as you don't open Gear Manager.
This needs to be a sticky, too many people ask the same question in a day.
Why don't people use search these days?
Unbelieveable bug! Open gear manager and the non approved apps disappear! Wtf!

Thanks.. sorry.. I did search but didn't find the answer .. thanks for telling me the "feature" of Gear manager.. I hope someone can come out with a permanent solution.. honest.. Gear really don't have enough app.. and missed some key app (like calculator)...I wouldn't want to sideload if they have the "basic" one on their store.
thanks

Question install blocking app

hello,
are its possbile and how to install on galaxy watch an app that blocking with password a specific app like in google play?
i mean, in google paly there is a few app to install that protect to not open specific applications.
are its possible?
for example, i want to blocking the browser of Samsung that or will be unable to install it, or blocking it with a password,
someone know the best way how to do it?
many thank on advance.
Best you can do is disable and hide it.
hello,
many thanks for your reply.
what you mean to block and hide, the play store app?
if yes, after time its will be able to unhide it.
are you know an option to protect with a password?
many thanks again.
No, the browser is pre-installed by Samsung. You can go into the HOME SCREEN settings (press on an empty space on one of the home screens and select settings). There you will find HIDE APPS ON HOME AND APPS SCREEN. On that menu, you can hide any of the apps so they do not show on the phone. If you ever want to use them, then just un-hide them.
