Updating APK's not from Android Market??? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

when you download apk's/games from the internet and not from the android market... how do u update the game if future updates become available? it doesnt show up in the my app's list in the Android market?

It depends on the app itself: some have auto updaters, others require you to download a new version by hand.

how do u know if it has auto updater??

and also, does turning on auto update in the android market update the ones that u didnt get from it also?

nah, some of them are lol
anyway i dont have the 3.3 or the newest version of the android market for some reason

Try aTrackDog (market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.aTrackDog) It will find out what apps need updating, but you will have to search for the apk yourself.

They won't auto update then, but you should support developers rather than stealing their apps

like setcpu? free on here but won't update in the market?

How to update installed apps

I searched but could not find a specific thread.
How do i update my installed apps? also is there a way to update them at once rather than one by one?
What apps? Apps you downloaded from market?
If so, open market.. go to downloads.. and it should tell you if there are updates for your apps or not.

I use appbrain to sync my apps, but will only offer you updates from the market. What apps do you mean, can you give an example?

[Q] Is there a 'market enabler' for the new market?

Hi, so I have Market Enabler installed and for some reason it doesn't seem to work on the new market. Also, cf3d's 'open market' seem to have no effect either.
Is something broken? Anyone knows of a market enabler that works with the new market? Thank you!
We need a market enabler that works with 3.0.27
It will be made, its just a matter of time. Im very interested in this too, I had to rollback to the old market because of this.

I'm very interested too!
I got it!
Download the attached file.
You will find Market 2.3.6 (april 2011) and follow the instructions file.
Now I return to this version of Market which is fully compatible with Market Enabler!
Tested in a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
Yes we know it works with the old market. What we need is a market enabler for the 3.0.27 version of the market.

You should be able to get free apps. Only problems with market enabler is actually buying apps. So, roll back and reupdate or something.

The app seems to be working, it gives green mark and everything,
But when I search for the blocked apps such as google maps and most other google's inc, it doesn't find (which it was found-able when the old market)

I also tried the Flamingo's advice, but also no changing the search results.

Did you clear all data / cache? for Market? then emulate on boot a new provider and reboot. I am using it ever since the new market was released and it works.
Cheers.

Did the same on a Optimus 2x and it didn't work.
I had to uninstall the market update and MarketAccess works as advertised.
Cheers!
This thread should probably be in the general section rather than under SGS II.
I am also using the old market but instead of using an APK I simply uninstalled the update for market from 'manage applications' to go to the old market. Also had to uninstall the market updater system app using Titanium otherwise it updates automatically. Very irritating.
+1 for a solution for the new market since I have to do this every time I change ROMs (which is often). However, the new market is ugly as anything. The waste of screen real estate is appalling!

it was as per my inside sources rolled out in the US today,,,
not sure on other parts of the world.....
I opened market earlier today and it gave me the Terms and Conditions prompt again, but this time for Google Play. But no update on the market app itself. I wonder if they start pushing it to my region, would I need to go back to stock to get it?
installed it, nothing changed on the UI, only the icon

I've downloaded the .apk from androidcommunity.com whose filename is vending-2 for some reason. Anyway, I have attached it, but personally haven't installed it & probably won't do until I get a better idea of how it functions with a 2G connection.

Why..?! :/ dont understand why did they change it...
Wooo Hooo sent from my little Acie.
I installed it, just looks nice, but I regret that I did. Before, I was able to download paid applications (by turning back to old market versions and then using a warez application which I cant mention here), but now I can't go back to old versions, and neither I cant uninstall google play. Sucks. But I can download free apps and updates of my paid apps.
Same here Transformed it self

I have been waiting to see what it automatically does. So far just license agreement. Everything else the same no offer of update even. Tbh I'm not interested in upgrading so long as Market still works.
no issue with the market 3.4.4 here, paid and free
i cant access to my google play store it always says authentication required.....
