Does "Autoupdate" on Android's app work correctly?


Recommended Posts

I try to set all my Android applications to autoupdate when there is update avaliable but as soon as I look in My Apps there are a bunch with a Update avaliable and they are checked with the "Automatically update" tick. On the other hand, sometimes my Android does autoupdate apps randomly (which is exactly what I want)

Whats "wrong"?

It doesn't check for updates that often. I think it's like once a week.

It also checks after a reboot. But yea, the auto update feature needs improving, or at least give us some options to make it work better

I'm wanting the exact opposite, Google Maps keeps updating by itself and haven't found a way to disable it. It doesn't have a automatically update checkbox unlike other apps. :pinch:

Sure? Does when I look at it in Market -> My Apps.

AppBrain could be used in the time being if you wanted to check for updates more frequently.

On a related note, be sure to Star my Global "Allow automatic updates" preference for Market feature request ;)

I'd raise a Push updates to phone / enhance Market update preferences Issue too though if it don't already exist.

On my Droid Incredible, it does. I've seen it on Froyo and Gingerbread...

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
