When some of my applications installed from market gets new update, I normaly recieve a small market icon in notification bar. For some reason I don't get such notification any more.
Update for AndroZIP application was released just today, and I did not recieve any notification, I can only see "update aviable" when I manualy enter Market > Downloads.
I have been searching if there is any setting that I could have accidentaly turned off, and only setting I could find is the Market > Downloads > Menu > Notifications. It is set to "Notify me when items are updated".
Am I missing some option? Does anyone know the reason and workaround for this bug/something I overlooked?
I'm pretty sure that notifications don't come through as soon as an update is available in the market. I noticed that a couple of my programs had updates available when looking in the market but couldn't be bothered to update them at the time. A few hours later my phone then decided to notify me that there were updates available. I don't think it's too critical to know that there is an application update the second it comes out.
foyrtcw, thank you for your reply.
I agree with you that immediate updates are not cricital. It's just that, each time I recieved a market update notification it was early in the morning, which made me think that market update service is scheduled to check for updates during night. I am probably wrong about that.
I did not manualy update AndroZIP this morning, and I will leave it that way to see what will happen. Update notification will most likely show up.
Edit: Got my notification finally. Thanks for help.

I have the Market setup to show me when updates are available and I have pretty much most of my apps set to allow auto-update.
The only notifications I ever get are when I reboot my phone (not just shutdown as I have quick boot on, but a full reboot) Then the market comes up and will tell me if there are updates, otherwise I get nothing. And it seems that none of my app's auto update either, when I do open the Market and there are updates for the ones I have selected to auto-update they require a manual update.
Any solution to this?

apps that say (manual update) have changed there permissions since the last version.. thats why a manual update is required, so you can review its permisssions.

That answers that one then, thanks for that.
As for the rest, is there some sort of sync profile I may have disabled which is stopping the Market from checking for updates do you know, or is it just the Market app which is actually rubbish.

its always been the same as you for me, even on my old desire, i think the market only checks for updates on boot
As the subject says. I get notifications to say there's updates for 2 of my apps. But then in the My Apps list in the market, none of the apps have any indicator to to say they can be updated. I've opened each app's info screen and none appear to have updates (or if they do, there's nothing to signify it).
Anyone else?
I get that as well, usually after a few hours the button appears for you to update, but also I get certain apps that want to update but its the same update from last time, weird.

I was getting that and discovered 2 apps in the "not installed" section of the 'my apps' page in the market that when clicked on had a option to 'update' instead of install and one of them was google maps. Haven't had that happen since so go check that page.
For a week or so now, my GNex has been popping up "available app updates" notifications at least once a day. This wouldn't be too unusual, but when I click the notification to go to MyApps in the market, I never seem to see all the updates.
If the notification says there are 5 available updates, then I click through to MyApps and find 3 updates available.
If the notification says there are 3 available updates, then I find 1
And if the notification says there are 2, I don't see any at all.
Seems like there are two apps on my phone that are either causing update notifications to appear when there is no actual update to install, or they have updates available, but I can't see them in the market for some reason. In either case, I have no idea how to figure out which apps are causing the problem.
There can often be problems with having multiple Gmail accounts. You get a notification for the update from an account other than your primary Gmail (but then you click into the Market and its your main Gmail acct). Not sure how to fix it, but it is mildly annoying.
If not, you can try wiping data out of the Market and re-entering your credentials.
Well if it helps I was also noticing that as well but like you said I went to market and nothing was showing .so for some reason I scrolled through my aps and clicked on google + and when it pulled up it had the update option so I updated and don't remember seeing any after so if by chance you have google+ on your phone check it just a thought cause that is where mine was coming from so far
Usually, you just need to wait for some times
Usually it happens to google apps (maps, google+, etc) so check them and also check your "Not Installed" list cuz sometimes those installed apps that need to be updated show up in that list instead of "Updates" list.
Not sure if its fixable with clearing data for market.
I also had this problem recently with Google+ and had it previously on my Xperia X10 with the facebook app. Possibly a problem with pre-installed apps which are then updated in the market.
Just do a manual install/update of the suspect app and the notifications will go away.
For me it was easy to spot the rogue apps as there was only one at a time causing the problem, so the update notification specifically said there was an update to Google+.

I had the same problem last week.
Google + showed an update notification, which wasn't displayed in the Google Market. I noticed that Google + was in the "not installed" list, so I opened it there and manually updated it by clicking on the "update" button on the Google + market page.
Any chance you have auto updates on?
i get this same problem too. vvery often i get notifications saying "4 updates" and really there are only 2 updates. it just happens sometimes for no reason i can see. and no there aren't any manual updates during this time. it's truly some weird bug, or something is getting counted twice either my 2 gmail accounts etc.

Yep, this was the answer. Google Music and Google+ were the culprits, and since they were pre-installed, they weren't in my installed apps list. I had actually checked every single app in my installed list individually, trying to find which ones had the updates. I didn't think to go through the uninstalled list.
I've had this happen from time to time. I fixed it by clearing market data, and then the market showed me the app that needed updating.
I've been getting it too and I think it's been caused by me having apps installed from a different market than what I am usually authorized to install from. ie I'm overseas and I have Google Music etc.
Hello
Since the Nougat update there has been a few noticeable and annoying issues.
So this issue has been bothering me since I have updated to Nougat thru system update a few months ago.
Suddenly the weather widget is not updating to current location and always shows "No Location Available"
I have to manually update the location but than again it goes back to showing "No Location Available"
Another issue is that
I am not receiving Gmail notifications at all and also some other apps I have noticed that their notifications either stopped all together or are very very delayed.
Has these issues not addressed by Google?
I am on Android version 7.0 software 4.28.401.3 -- which I got today only thru system update
Regards
Do you have location services disabled?.. Could be worth checking your google settings.
The weather widget "should" update if you get a location lock with full GPS enabled. If you think you might not be getting a gps lock then run google maps while outdoors (stand on you doorstep or go out to the garden) and wait for it to locate you then refresh the weather app.

Hi, pixel 6 pro here and I am having issues with my apps auto-updating.
1. I went to settings>auto updates at anytime is selected.
2.google play store>app info>battery>unrestricted
3. I have forced stopped>clear data>disabled> reboot>enabled
Nothing is working and I have to click manage apps>update all.
Double-check one of the particular apps that don't auto-update. On the app's page in the Play Store in the upper right corner click the 3-dot menu button. Is "Enable auto update" checked?
I just checked one of my apps at random and it wasn't checked. The app in question, at one time I didn't want it to auto-update because they were making changes I didn't like, and the setting was saved by Google across many phones and I just didn't notice. I may have other apps that I don't have set to auto-update, but I don't think there's a way to explicitly display them all (and not display ones you already have set to auto-update). I just looked at my "Pending downloads" in the Play Store and the first app listed was also set to not auto-update, so I'll just have to remember to go through each app for a while when there are apps listed here. It's definitely showing ones not updated yet that are set to auto-update as well - they just hadn't yet.
Edit: Found 3-4 more apps that were set to not auto-update including one that I don't even particularly remember using, but I might've tried a very long time ago and I definitely only recently reinstalled it. Shame you have to individually go into each one to find out how I have it set.
Went to store now, auto update still not working. I checked three dots for the app and enable auto update was already updated but not updating itself
Does everyone else's auto update apps for the play store work?
Just to be clear, I don't think that apps ever auto-update just as soon as it's available. For an example like you gave, does it go for over 24 hours without auto-updating any apps?
What about the two Play Store settings "App download preference" and " Auto-update apps" below it?

Cool. I assume they don't update immediately in case the developer pulls the update due to bugs. I have no idea what the particular logic is of when it how often is. Hopefully whatever apps are listed available for auto-update tomorrow at the same time aren't necessarily the same apps listed for you now.
You're welcome, looking forward to hearing. You're welcome and your too!
Does not tend to poll these app updates once you're actually plugged in charging and usually on Wi-Fi, but you can set for other networks?
Apps have been Auto updating past 48hrs, as mentioned above takes about 24hrs
Hi, so over the last 48hrs apps have NOT been updating automatically. Can anyone help me with setting to auto update apps in play store?
My apps are automatically update and I don't want to. I only have the settings because I had absolutely no notifications that there are updates available. I had to check manually and it was a nightmare.

I dont think mine ever have to be honest and when i am sorting out phones for elderly relatives they always have about 2 million apps that need updating.
