[Q] So... Anything new on Smart Updates? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Still gotta DL the WHOLE app (eg. a 1GB game update) instead of just the new/replaced files that Google announced will be launched with the JB release.
Smart Update: http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/17/3248874/google-play-store-smart-updates-enabled
Anyone know what going on with that?

I don't know the technical details of the technology, but from what I read about it I assume it only works for changes in the APK. Games often contain a lot of graphic data, which probably renders this technique kinda useless

I'm pretty sure they are already enabled but they still show as if you are downloading the entire file. So there is no way to know when they are put to use and how big the apk diff files are.

Busybox free uses it..and facebook 1.9.9 update too...
With the last updates it was finished within seconds..the download....

Interesting. So how does Google select which apps start using it? Or is it some kinda automated update adding apps to its list for Smart Update support?

Noo the devs of the apps must build it in aka support it

I'm pretty sure that isn't the case. Google automatically enables smart app updates for all (I presume) apps. This was said at the I/O conference that developers didn't need to do anything and personally I haven't seen any new API calls nor manifest lines that I need to add.

FWIW, I updated Dead Trigger the other day and it only downloaded around 500k of updated data... so, yea, it does work for games as well.
Again, it depends on the APK and the changes involved.
Something I noticed the other day: the progress bar on the Play Store was slow, and would cut off somewhere in the middle just before updating. If you want to see the real update progress, look in the notification shade.

I think its an switch that the dev must activate to use it

Yes..u r ri8...notification bar shows correct % of update where as progress bar shows size of kbs downloaded...
See these screen-shots i took..

Yes, I have noticed this also recently. So I guess it was a slow rollout.

I have encountered several updates that use this. I remember Google saying that it is something that will happen automatically and not something that will require any changes on the part of the developers

I know. This question was asked a couple of weeks ago. I see that it working more often these day, so I guess a MOD can lock this up to prevent more replies. Th for the earlier info guy! :good:

I reverted to old market since new market was very laggy on my EDGE network.I cant even migrate to 3G because in my country, 3G oprates at 2100Mhz band which has very poor indoor penetration,so its not worth paying premium price for 3G

Good.
blockbuster 2.4
not worried at all just an observation
The scrolling seems very laggy, also it looks like google is trying to save on the amount of ram the app uses by constantly loading and unloading images which really sucks.
The market would be so much smoother if it just loaded all tabs at once and cached the images

I got it as well and I noticed following difference:
All my music was gone and my phone asked me to synchronise with zune.
Same for my pictures and videos. All was gone; nothing was left on my phone.
//edit: unfortunately I have forgotten to backup my data. Some of the pics I can't get back anymore. What a pity. But honestly, I did not expect that would happen when I just load the updated HTC HUB via Market Place.
What can I say..? Would it be possible to release an update which makes me love my phone more?
P.S. Sorry, I don't like off-topic and since years I am just a member who is following your postings and take benefit of your experience, because I don't like to repeat what 100 other users have said before, but now I am really fed up with this stupid OS on my phone.
Further I thought I could save my first post for something greater than that

It's very unlikely that an app update caused this trouble. I have had these issues several times, but not due to updates (be they simple app or complete OS updates) but due to a hardware failure on my device.
I never heard that update did something like this no matter what OS it is!!!
perhaps the update included tagging location places?
For the first time it shows University at Buffalo as my location
Normally it just showed Buffalo

Just tried it on codename and yeah it's not working at all.
any thoughts as to how to make it work? or any other alternatives, just as good?
I have not find anything better than "Hide it PRO" yet... its not working appropriately on ICS and is frequently crashing, sent couple of taps to Developer and no response yet..
I hope developer fix the issue soon or some one find the equivalent app quickly...
I hope so too because I have ALOT of porn in my gallery all of a sudden.
Huh, I just tried it and it worked for me. I'm running Blue Kuben with FF11 Modem and kernel. I don't believe I'm running the paid version if that makes a difference. I can't think of any reasons why it would work for me and not others. I've never had any issues with Audio Manager and have run all ICS ROMS.
I'm open to any questions, If I can help any.

Alright sorry guys maybe I'm thinking of a different app. I just did a search in the market for Audio Manager and this is what I got. Is this the same hide it pro ya'll are talking about?
Also sorry pdaddy but I'm mobile right now so I can't post a link.
No problem. I found it. Earlier post said there was a paid version. I couldn't find the paid version. LOL

You need to search for your old archive on your internal or sd card and it should work fine I've been using this on my hero EVO and e4gt on ics and gb roms no problem just transferred the archive to new phone and searched for it. If you don't know where the folder is its under programdata/Android/language/.fr/

Just got an SIII w/ ICS and I can get it to hide apps but not launch them from hidden and then can't unhide those apps without uninstalling and reinstalling them. More of a problem for me is that the lock apps function doesn't work. That's what I used all of the time to just lock my other mail, etc. apps so that they would error out.
Bumperooni...
Bumperooni... anyone found a work-around or a fix?
Any word fron Anju on if he is going to port Hide it to ICS?
The program Hide it pro or Audio Manager does not work on ICS. I just upgraded to a S3 and I have had nothing but problems with the program. Is the developer (Anuj Tenani) ever on this forum? Is there going to be any update to the program for ICS? Any information would be appreciated!

This great program must just have issues with ICS. I tried it on my E4GT in every ics ROM and it is horrible. Didn't launch apps and had to uninstall and reinstall. Time to let Devs know. Seems like they don't update this so often at all
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
... just a guess but I'm sure that it has something to do with the fact that the internal "sdcard" and the external. er... "extsdcard" are handled differently with the S3 on ICS and that there is no app2sd function on the S3. I was able to get the GLtoSD app to transfer a couple of my apps to the extsdcard, but Hide It Pro still wouldn't lock or hide those apps after the move... so there are also other issues.

Not sure that I like it. Only 4.3.1 is in the Play Store, not the 4.5 update yet.
I liked the 4.3.1 because it shows me my categories on the left side. This just looks like the phone version and only has the sender/message preview. Lots of white space in landscape mode.

With the advent of the new navigation drawer that can be swiped into view from any screen, a specific tablet version need not exist. This is incredibly clever design by Google. Not to mention the innovative "Swipe to refresh" animation.

Just an FYI everyone, if you are running a HALO enabled rom, you must disable HALO before trying to install this apk. HALO prevents the installation of 3rd party (apps not on the play store). You can re-enable it afterward.

Ok - I don't like it, but I can see your point.
However - have you found a way to not waste all the space recovered by not showing labels and actually display messages? On a Stock N7, I went from >14 messages visible, plus my quick labels selection to a display of <10 messages on the screen, and each message has less of a preview.
If the design is to maximize utility, I would expect to be able to do more, not see less and require more interactions to get anything done.

If you go in to system updates through the settings and check for the update, you have 3 options, No Thanks, Download Later, and Download Now.
If you click No Thanks, the alert goes away. It will even state in the system update app that the last update (on June 30th, 2105) failed.
Download later allows you to choose a time that better suits you.
And of course Download Now, starts the process right now.
Hope this helps.
When i go to system update all i have is update now or later. I don't get the no thanks option.

Yes, waiting to d/load it later today.
From Droid-Life:
An update is rolling out for the LG G4 on Verizon, bringing a few features to owners, but nothing all that special. The software version is labeled as VS98611A.
Included is an enhanced Folio display while a call is taking place, an updated consistency for displaying contacts and non-contacts in the Dialer app, and an enhanced Advanced Calling feature. That’s it.
