How do we manually check for application updates?
The notification popped up that I had applications that could be updated but I cleared it out before updating them. Now I don't have a clue which ones those were. Is there a way to check manually?
Open the market, hit the menu button, select downloads.

Am I the only one having problems with Gmail sync? Is there and app or update to fix that problem?
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant...
I had similar problems. Just clear the application cache from the applications> manage applications menu in settings. You will need to change the filter to see the gmail app first however. This can be done by hitting menu inside manage applications, that part took forever to find out for me the first time .

I couldnt enter to gmail web site, couldnt connect to gtalk, android market didnt work on 3G. I searched the web and found a solution that worked on me. Change the name and apn name of your mobile network APN settings. Dont touch other settings. Just name and apn name. Then restart your phone. Now you should be able to connect to gtalk etc...
I am having this same problem as rustyruss after flashing Bionix Fusion. I couldn't find any reference to it in their forum. I tried deleting the gmail app cache and storage cache (both), but it did not resolve the issue. Has anyone found anything to fix this yet? It's incredibly irritating.
I don't use twitter. what's the easiest way to unintall twitter?
Go through Settings, Applications, find Twitter and then delete it.
there is no active icons that is lit up once i clicked on twitter. still showing taking up .94mb space. data however is 0 mb. does it mean i can't delete it?
If u are on stock rom you can't. You will have to root than using rooted uninstaller remove twitter.

If its a system app that came with your phone theres a chance you may not be able to remove it.
Get titanium backup and remove it with that.

I've already installed again Market and GP 5.3.16 without any result: may I kindly ask Community support?

I think i had it before, wipe cache and data for both playstore and google service framework also uninstall playstore updates. Do a reboot and it was fine.
Unfortunately error 495 is still here... Any other suggestion?

I have had this issue for a long time now. I just used to decide that I'll wait till i get home and download over WiFi (which worked).
But that's not a solution!!!
On my JellyBean One X:
1. Go to Settings
2. In Wireless and Networks, tap on More
3. Select Usage
4. Tap on Menu in top-right corner and make sure Restrict background data is not ticked
5. Also, uncheck Limit mobile data usage (a message appears saying that all background data restrictions will be disabled).
It is the background data restriction that causes this issue (atleast for me).
I had done the whole shabang:
Clear google play cache, data, etc. re-login with Google account, reboot, etc.
But none of those worked.
There won't be a limit setting on data usage anymore... but you could set it again and make sure you don't enable data restriction anywhere else.
Hope this helps!
I have my Google/gmail account synced to my N10. Is there a way to view/edit my contacts? I, for the life of me, cannot find a way to see them, other than the fact an individual contact will appear when entering into a new gmail message. This tells me they are on the tablet, just out of sight, apparently.

Use the people app...I have it in AOKP rom
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
I'm also using aokp, but don't have the people app. Where might I find it? I even searched the Play Store for that before I posted this thread.
Things might be different for you, but when I pull down my toggle bar on the top right corner I can see my username as the first toggle. Clicking on it displays my google contacts and I can edit them as well. This is the case with both my stock 4.2.2 ROM and the AOKP version I use.

Strange. I have my user in there, but no contacts when I click it. I'll have to do some more digging.

What happens when you click on the username? For me, a new window opens with my username in there. As soon as I click on that window my contacts open.

Nothing. It closes the status bar.
You really should have the "people" app. That's the default display name for the icon in your apps list, but it actually loads up an apk called "contacts".
If you don't have this, there could be something wrong with the way GApps are installed on your device. Which GApps package did you install?

I chose through aroma on Mr Robinson's AOKP. Very possible that I missed it. I'll dirty flash tonight.
Edit: I just dirty flashed and made certain that I chose the contacts app in aroma installer. I still do not have the people app. Thinking about a clean flash because it's annoying me.
I've heard of some problems with that new aroma installer. I'm running the same rom, but manually installed all cause I'm still afraid of the installer! No probs here so far, & I run nitro's inverted app package from Eclipse which is still - 2012 something. I just let Play Store update whatever's needed after install or batch restore with TiBu. But that installer I'd bet is the culprit. I think!

Re: Contacts SOLVED
OK. I'm an idiot. If any of you have this problem in the future, I have a fool proof way to fix it:
1. Go into your app drawer and open TiB
2. Scroll through the list until you find the Contacts app.
3. Defrost it, because somewhere along the way it got frozen.
4. Profit.
Thanks to all who tried to help, but you all were wrong and I figured this out all on my own. (Insert sarcasm here).

Hi, I'm not really sure what to do about this screen. I started getting a notification that seems to come from the official app (I long tapped, and checked the notification info), but this "update" apparently needs to be side loaded onto the system instead of installed through the Play Store. Has anyone else gotten this update prompt? I'm not sure what to do here.

i just got that just right now, its very weird...facebook getting hacked???
Now I'm getting a suspicious looking sign in error that is prompting me to sign in with my Google account. Something is definitely spamming me.
i found this on search supposedly explaining it
Facebook pushes Android update to enable silent updates (bypassing the Play Store)
Facebook appears to be doing an end run around the Google by pushing an update to the social network’s open app to Android users today… and the update isn’t coming from the Google Play Store. The Facebook app on your phone downloads the update automatically and then beeps or vibrates incessantly until you install it (or uninstall the app altogether).
So what does the new version of Facebook for Android do?
According to Facebook it lets you change your profile picture using the mobile app, allows you to hide stories and report spam, and start group messages more quickly.
But there’s one other thing the new app does: It allows itself to download future updates without alerting you.
If you look at the permissions required by the app, there’s a new one that says “download files without notification.”
This effectively lets the Facebook app for Android automatically update itself without going through the Google Play Store. It’s not clear exactly why Facebook is taking this step. But once you’re prompted to download the new version of the mobile app the only alternatives appear to be to put up with annoying notifications or remove the Facebook app from your Android device.
