I tried to Google this but just kept getting results about what phones have what Rom updates and how to update apps.
The recent updates to the Trillian app are pretty terrible, I and many others are choosing to stick with the older version. Problem is I have many apps installed on this phone. Thanks to that update I am no longer able to hit "UpdatecAll" as I do not want the Trillian app to update, so I am forced to manually open the page for each app that has an update and update them one-by-one. A very annoying and tedious processes, especially since if I wait so much as a week there can be up to 20 updates to install.
Is there any way I can somehow block this one app from being updated or put it on a no update lust or something?
I don't like to have my apps auto-update.
Is there really no way to do this?
I would really like to know this too...

Lets face it,sometimes updating an app makes it worse. I try to read recent reviews before updating just in case an update screws something up. In those cases I'll try to skip those updates. Which makes it really annoying when I have 25 apps needing updates and I want to skip 3 of them.
Maybe I'm missing something, but the only ways I see to update apps in the market is to update one at a time or to update all. No way to select only those I want to update and do the batch. To make it worse,updating individual also requires accepting permissions....again
Ever since the market was updated from the white and green style (don't know version #), I don't see any way to update an app without selecting it and going through the permissions screen. In the old versions, you could long press and select update right from the 'my apps' screen, which it would then update in the background. So you could move through a list of 25 apps needing update and select as many as you wanted to update without the permissions screen, just the long press on each. But now, your only way to update them without accepting permissions again is to "update all". But I don't want to update all!! Just most of them. Grr.
Am I stupid and missing something? Any way to select most of a list and update a batch but not all?
One thing I noticed with the market is it seems to periodically check for updates, but it doesn't seem to check that often. It seems like the Market application waits for a group of apps to get updated at once before it notifies you, or it seems to only check for updates on a certain day where app updates are rolled out onto the Android market (similar to PSN/XBL updates)
Does anyone know how to force the Market application to check for updates to my apps? I was thinking maybe going to the Market app in the system settings and clearing cache/data, but I was wondering if there's some other way to do it.
No settings or tweak I know of to make the Market check at specific intervals, I seem to get updates atleast a few times a week, never really had an issue with it.

Hello
Is there a way to know the history of updates for apps in googleplay?
Auto update of apps i trust is fine as long as i am able to know when they happened eg when troubleshooting new behaviuor
Thx!
You can install and run Trust.
It will log events such as app updates and you can later view when they happened.
Hi Dark3n,
This looks promising, I've installed it and also looking at your other apps.
An update of an app kicked in and it was effectivly recorded. Very good!
Thanks for sharing these apps
Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to stop a specific applicaiton from updating. (that is not the disable automatic updates and manually update)
Some applications are frequently updated, and eventually you can reach a point where you have many programs wanting to update, and then 1 or 2 programs which you never want to update because the developer decided to remove a feature for no reason, or made a change that breaks compatibility with some devices.
Overall, I would like to be able to use the "Update All" button without having to worry about it updating the 1 or 2 applications that I never want updated.
When you press the update all button, it opens a popup saying that you disabled updated for certain app. It then asks if you still want to update it or skip it. Not automatic, but does the job

I have a HTC M8 running Lollypop.
Recently, one of my most-used apps got an update that is horrible, it completely changed the UI for the worst, is buggy, and removes many features. I couldn't stand it and downgraded back to the previous version.
Problem is, now the update appears in Google Play, and if I hit "Update All" it will try to update it again. Is there any to exclude just this one app from the Update All button, and allow all my other apps to keep getting updated?
Note that I am NOT talking about Auto-Update, which every single attempt to Google about this brought up. I am talking about manually being able to hit Update All but excluding specific apps from being updated that way.
Titanium Backup has a function "Detach user & system apps from Market". I've never used it but it may be what you're looking for.
