Hi all,
I've done my Googling, and I can't find a satisfactory answer to this. I'm looking for a way to bulk toggle all of my apps in the market so that they are all set to auto-update.
At the moment I have to manually set some of these, but going through each app one by one (huge pain!). These problem seems exasperated by changing ROMs and doing a Ti apps backup. I think that Play doesn't set these to auto-update for some reason.
I've tried checking the option in Play settings to Auto-Update by Default, but this doesn't do it. There is no option on Play Website to do this either...which I thought might be possible.
There used to be an app (no longer available) called "Market Autoupdate Bulk Toggle" which seemed like it would do what I wanted, but it's defunct from what I can gather.
Is this possible? Or do I have to do one by one? My phone is rooted so I can use root apps if needed, using JellyTime R12 at the moment.
Thanks.

When you install a new ROM and on its first boot,sign in on your Google account on the first setup..Your apps will be restored with their settings..
Hit the Thanks button if i helped you:laugh:
Thanks for your reply.
I always do that...and it makes no difference for me. Since any new ROM starts with data enabled, I would have thought this worked... but alas no. This is why I need a script or something to check all those auto update flags.

Huh?
The auto update in the market only updates the apps that are currently installed on your phone. And that is only if the developer hasn't changed any of the permissions. If he has, you must manually update the app no matter what.
Titanium backup is the best way that I have found, even though it is still not automatic.

I think I found the answer with help of other xda users. Ti pro has a market preference to set all or individual apps to auto update or not.
Dear forum,
I'm having a strange issue with gmail and I haven't seen any other references on the forum.
About a week ago, Gmail auto-updated in the Play store, and since that time the icon changed to a "postage stamp" with a "G" on it. The application itself is now dark-themed in the conversation list, though the message text background is still white (the dark/light issue makes some of the text difficult to read).
This application is really broken now, and I don't see anyone else complaining about it, so I'm curious why this ended up on my tablet.
I've tried wiping the data and cache and reinstalling google apps -- the old Gmail is restored, but when I reboot the bizarro Gmail comes right back.
Has anyone experienced this? I'm worried about some malicious app update, but I'm not sure where to go from here.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I'm rooted on stock with the latest updates.

I'm afraid I haven't heard of any issue like this.
If you're reinstalling google apps (I'm assuming via flashing through a recovery), are you sure you're using an official / trusted package from a trusted source?
If the G-apps package is from a malicious or untrusted source this may explain why you can't uninstall it correctly and it has that weird type of persistence.
You can always get a trusted version of the G-apps package from the Goo Manager app from the play store (The app is free and without ads!).
I hope this helps in some way. Sorry I can't offer a more direct answer

Are you using a ROM with a dark theme enabled?
Hello
I've just received my Nexus 4 and updated to 4.2.2 and associated it with a Google account however I'm unable to updated all the pre installed apps such as Talk, Google, YouTube, etc. The 'My apps' section doesn't shows any pre installed apps. Does this means I have to go in each and every app page and hit update from there
?
Thanks

It's really a one time thing with each pre-installed app that has an update available in the market. If you go to "Play Store > My Apps > All" they will likely be grouped at the bottom of this list.

Thanks for reply. I did looked into the 'All' list but it shows only the apps that I've installed via Play Store not the apps built in. I clearly remember my GN2 showed updates even for the pre installed when I switched it on for the first time.
So is this a normal behaviour in Nexus devices, and if yes, I'll actually need to open the app's respective page and then hit 'Update' from there?
Thanks
OK I don't know what happened, the updates started to show. Thanks all.

How long did it take before this happened? My wife's new phone isn't offering updates to the pre-installed apps, although if I search for each one individually they have updates available. It's been roughly 24 hours and they still aren't showing up. Thanks.

Roughly, 3 hours. Play Store started showing when I switched to a WiFi connection. I guess, it depends upon the Internet speed.
It's because a auto backup feature. To reinstall previous bought apps etc to your new phone.
It goes away after a little bit

To to settings, scroll down, under "accounts"
Select Google, tap your Google account on top to see what is being synced. You can enable/disable sync for individual items there.

Ok I disabled some syncing stuff for her. Checked Google Services and it says 196MB was used for Background... "View app settings" is greyed out though.
same issue
Hey,
I'm having the same issue, first my phone and service:
Tmobile
Nexus 4 w/ Paranoid Android 3.6 with Franco Kernel 3.4.0
LTE Enabled / LTE Tethering enabled on Firewall
Ok, so within 3 days my phone used 1.62 GB of data that the data usage area in settings attributes to Google Services. I haven't installed any new apps or made any changes.
According to Android, Google Services includes:
Google Contacts Sync
Google Account Manager
Network Location
Google Play Services
Google Services Framework
Google Bookmarks Sync
The only culprits I can think it might be are either Account Manager or Network Location. I turned off Location Access and I'm trying to limit anything syncing on my google accounts. But that hasn't changed over the whole month, I don't know why it would now. I'll keep looking and report back what I find. I downloaded android firewall and i'm downloading My data manager too, to try to obtain more metrics. any help would be appreciated.
Just today, I lost 575MB of data, again to Google Services. It was all background data. Have most of my syncing stuff disabled.
It's trying to pull the 4.3 update, and since your not on stock, it'll fail over and over. After a lot of searching, I found what seems to have fixed it. Get the app Autorun Manager, select advanced mode, go to settings and enable show system entries and enable system app disable. Then scroll down to Google Services Framework. Find and uncheck com.Google.android.gsf.update.systemupdateservices$secretcodereceiver. What a mouthful, but that should end your data drain troubles.

Hi. I tried this. Initially it stopped. But after a few hours it started again. This time my network log app was showing upload too. And the same download manager, drm protected storage and media storage were showing data transfer. What to do? I'm on aokp milestone 2 with franco kernel milestone 3
Tried the Autorun Manager fix
Google Services used up 1.2GB mobile data on my phone in a matter of hours yesterday. I've tried the fix, hope it stops. I've disabled Mobile Data as a failsafe. I also noticed that Google Services' usage on WiFi was 7.5GB in 20 days. Is this normal?
Using the last CM10.1 nightly.

Did you check again using the same app?
I'm having the same problem! I already tried reflashing my rom, and the problem always comes back!
I tried disabling com.Google.android.gsf.update.systemupdateservices $secretcodereceiver Autorun Manager (free version) and the problem still happens.
Any solution?
EDIT:
Installing FOTAKILL, seems to have fixed it *crosses fingers*
Yes I did. It stopped for a while for me too but then started again. And same here. Transferred many GB on WiFi. Now I went back to stock, updated OTA to 4.3 and rooted again. Staying on rooted stock till the 4.3 based releases of AOKP and all come out

So, if I update to CM10.2 (4.3), it should solve this too, right?
Hi there!
I've put together a spreadsheet of apps that are (or so far seem) safe to remove from the Nexus 5. Note that I am running 4.4 KitKat, which has been unlocked with TWRP and rooted. The spreadsheet comes from the combined efforts of hallstevenson's spreadsheet on the Galaxy S3 for Spring (which I adapted and updated for the Verizon version), and referencing MoJo's script for removing Nexus 5 bloatware. I used Titanium Backup to go through and type in the packages and APK names.
CLICK HERE FOR ACCESS TO THE SPREADSHEET [GOOGLE DOCS]
Click the "5.1" tab.
If you have questions, comments, suggestions, concerns, or want to tell me exactly where I'm wrong about something, please leave a comment here! If such a list already exists, I couldn't find it through searching. And if I'm in the wrong category, I apologize; seeing MoJo's script here led me to think this would be the appropriate place.
**UPDATE FOR LOLLIPOP 5.1**
Here are the apps I've personally removed, if anyone is interested (this list changes with each update):
Basic Daydreams
Cloud Print
Downloads
Earth
Email
Exchange Services
Fit
Hindi Input
Korean Input
Google Now Launcher
Pinyin Input
Books
Movies & TV
Newsstand
Text-to-Speech
iWnn IME Japanese input

Updated for Lollipop!
I'm back with an update! You can use the same link above. Note that this time I've added a tab for Android 5.0 Lollipop. (There's also a tab for what I believe is 4.4.4, which I started and didn't finish... Sorry!) Again, I'm on a stock ROM from Google's firmware page, and I used Titanium Backup (v 6.2.0) to go through this list. I had a couple of app updates after flashing the new ROM, so the version numbers might not quite match up. As usual, let me know if there are any issues, or if you've figured out if an app can be removed that I've left blank. If you're going to be adventurous, it's best to freeze an app and test rather than delete it, and make a backup before you delete.
Enjoy!

You deactivated the exchange services, so do you get any emails with auto synchronisation ? Or are the exchange services only for the E-Mail app, which isnt working on L anymore?

Hey, I am a tad bit confused here..
I currently have two Exchange Services.
1) com.google.android.gm.exchange
(ver. 6.5-1520254)
2) com.android.exchange
(ver. 4.4.4-6936)
I'm sure the second one is the one I can delete but was just unsure about the first one.

The first one is the one I have marked as safe to delete. I don't know what the second is, maybe something left over from KitKat? Try freezing them with TitaniumBackup and reboot, see if they give you any issues. If they don't, make backups and remove them.

Okay, I didn't think this would have much to do with it but I am using Slimkat 4.4.4, so I didn't think to look in the 5.0 tab. I shall see what happens when I freeze the other EServices.

Well, generally speaking, you should be looking in the tab for your current Android version. (Or as close as your custom ROM gets.) The list is based on a fresh install of the ROM, so if your apps have updated since, they'll show different version numbers and possibly different locations, too. Something I didn't think to include in my post, sorry!
