Can't disable "Application updates available" notifications

**technocop** · 02-27-2013, 03:25 AM

This is driving me mad - since I reset my phone a few weeks ago, I get "Application updates available" notifications every day at 8:50am.

I cannot switch them off. I have disabled notifications in Google Play -> Settings -> Notifications, yet I still get them every day at the same time.

I am running Android 2.3.5 on a HTC Desire S, with HTC Sense Version 3.0

Any suggestions? help appreciated!

The point is I want to switch off the notification. I pretty much ALWAYS have apps that need updating, and I want to switch the notification off.

Does anyone have any idea why this option won't switch off? Or even how to change the scheduled check time?

The setting you've already changed is the only relevant setting that I'm aware of. Perhaps try signing out of your Google account on the phone and then signing back in, or clearing the data for the Play Store app. Either action should fully refresh the Play Store app's data regarding your apps, and it may help the issue. No guarantees though.
