Apps won't autoupdate

[Arelunde]

Update All does not work either. Good job moto...

Worked just fine for me... downloads all at the same time with one click.

I must be doing something wrong

YOU NEED TO LEAVE THE MARKET OPEN. do not use the back arrow to leave the market. press the home button so that the market stays open

What could I be doing wrong? I now have WiFi Trailer with an update. Have auto update checked. Used the Home key to leave the Market about 90 minutes ago. Still no update.

What could I be missing?

I dunno, but i find it annoying that even though i have "Allow automatic updating" checked for every app, i don't get any notification that apps have a waiting update, nor do the apps update themselves. I understand that some have to be updated manually, but it still puzzles me that the rest don't automatically update when an update is available.

It will only auto-update the next time, when you initially check auto-update, you will have to do that one manually, but the next ones will be automatic.

That could explain things

It will only auto-update the next time, when you initially check auto-update, you will have to do that one manually, but the next ones will be automatic.

I thought I had Google Maps checked prior to the update. It's possible that it is not autoupdatable, as someone suggested earlier. But its listing has an autoupdate option and there is nothing that I could find saying it must be updated manually.

The other two apps were both checked after the update was announced, so that could have been their problem.

Are you certain that pre-checking autoupdate prior to the update announcement is required? Is it documented somewhere? And why wouldn't that work with Google Maps (i.e., even if that is the way autoupdating works, do I still have a problem on my phone as indicated by GM not autoupdating?).

Thanks for the input.

Google Maps requires manual updates because it's still in Beta as I mentioned on the first page.

Just discovered (quite by accident after doing a clean install of 2.2) that the secret to auto updating is ...

AFTER you download the app, go back to My Downloads in the Market. You have to click EACH app that's installed on your X and there will be an option to check a box to authorize auto-updating!!

It's not available until AFTER the app is downloaded.
