I have a HTC M8 running Lollypop.
Recently, one of my most-used apps got an update that is horrible, it completely changed the UI for the worst, is buggy, and removes many features. I couldn't stand it and downgraded back to the previous version.
Problem is, now the update appears in Google Play, and if I hit "Update All" it will try to update it again. Is there any to exclude just this one app from the Update All button, and allow all my other apps to keep getting updated?
Note that I am NOT talking about Auto-Update, which every single attempt to Google about this brought up. I am talking about manually being able to hit Update All but excluding specific apps from being updated that way.
Titanium Backup has a function "Detach user & system apps from Market". I've never used it but it may be what you're looking for.

Is there somewhere I need to switch on notifications for application updates as they become available? Had this on my htc magic without changing any settings, and the hero manual mentions it, but at the moment they only way I find out about available updates is by going to the downloaded apps list.
i have same problem
same issue, its really weird
I have same issue, on both stock 2.73 ROM and Modaco 2.9. The 'show updates for installed applications' is selected but nothing is ever shown. If I go into 'My Downloads' there's often quite a few need updating....
maybe its a problem with the roms ur using try updating or using a stock rom
i always thought that this is the way it should be. i never got any notifications about updates for market apps.
I have a stock ROM and I do not get notfications of updates even though it's turned on.
Same here, no notifications. Perhaps this is a feature that will work with the new market version?
We might have to check with phones running the 1.6 update, that one has the new market right? See if that gives any notifications.
Lets face it,sometimes updating an app makes it worse. I try to read recent reviews before updating just in case an update screws something up. In those cases I'll try to skip those updates. Which makes it really annoying when I have 25 apps needing updates and I want to skip 3 of them.
Maybe I'm missing something, but the only ways I see to update apps in the market is to update one at a time or to update all. No way to select only those I want to update and do the batch. To make it worse,updating individual also requires accepting permissions....again
Ever since the market was updated from the white and green style (don't know version #), I don't see any way to update an app without selecting it and going through the permissions screen. In the old versions, you could long press and select update right from the 'my apps' screen, which it would then update in the background. So you could move through a list of 25 apps needing update and select as many as you wanted to update without the permissions screen, just the long press on each. But now, your only way to update them without accepting permissions again is to "update all". But I don't want to update all!! Just most of them. Grr.
Am I stupid and missing something? Any way to select most of a list and update a batch but not all?
I tried to Google this but just kept getting results about what phones have what Rom updates and how to update apps.
The recent updates to the Trillian app are pretty terrible, I and many others are choosing to stick with the older version. Problem is I have many apps installed on this phone. Thanks to that update I am no longer able to hit "UpdatecAll" as I do not want the Trillian app to update, so I am forced to manually open the page for each app that has an update and update them one-by-one. A very annoying and tedious processes, especially since if I wait so much as a week there can be up to 20 updates to install.
Is there any way I can somehow block this one app from being updated or put it on a no update lust or something?
I don't like to have my apps auto-update.
Is there really no way to do this?
I would really like to know this too...
Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to stop a specific applicaiton from updating. (that is not the disable automatic updates and manually update)
Some applications are frequently updated, and eventually you can reach a point where you have many programs wanting to update, and then 1 or 2 programs which you never want to update because the developer decided to remove a feature for no reason, or made a change that breaks compatibility with some devices.
Overall, I would like to be able to use the "Update All" button without having to worry about it updating the 1 or 2 applications that I never want updated.
When you press the update all button, it opens a popup saying that you disabled updated for certain app. It then asks if you still want to update it or skip it. Not automatic, but does the job

The latest update of Google Photos and Swift Keyboard apps simply no longer works on my device. The apps don't even appear on screen (open) at all. This only with the updated versions of these apps. I press the app icon and it flashes but fails to open and display the app. I've done all the reset/rewind/remove and install again/clear cache bla bla bla but nothing works.
The only way the Google photo app works is if I "delete it" (of course Photos is a system app so I can't actually remove it but return it back to factory version of the app... Then it works. but then it demands to be updated. Which is a problem and a bad thing to do (it means I am forced to keep an app old-dated since that Huawei can't allow me to use the latest (safest) version. As soon as I update the factory version to the latest version the problem returns. The other app that refuses to open (Swift Keyboards) cannot even be reverted back to factory version. So I am simply unable to use that app at all (in any version) and I am simply forced to use other keyboard apps.
This problem has never ever happened to me before. Now all of a sudden 2 apps don't even open?
What on earth is going on? Why are the latest updates of (at least these two) apps incompatible with the device?
Long story short, I'm stuck with apps that I neither can open/use, nor can remove.
That is extremely bad and annoying.
