update center 2.3.0.A.0.7 hide app´s updates issue

martinmrmus — Thu, 27 Nov 2014 08:36:27 GMT

Hi. Can someone tell me, how can I hide unwanted app´s updates like movies, movie creator etc.? In app there is no possibility to do it like it used to be in previous version of app (JB 4.3 and lower). Even if I turn off (ban) app in settings menu and it no longer shows in menu the update center still notifies me about updates.

Update Centre not hiding updates on 4.4.4

Hello,

In the previous version of the Update Centre (the one on 4.4.2) we were able to hide updates. It looks like on the newer version (the one linked to 4.4.4) we have lost that option. Is there any option to get back the functionality? Maybe downgrading the Update Centre app?

Quite frankly, the only Sony app i do care about is the Walkman... and even that one without gapless has marginal interest..

Best regards!

from todays "great" xperia care:

Agent Lisbeth: How may assist you today?

martin mrmus: how can i hide unwanter apps updates like movie creator, movies etc from showing in update center?

martin mrmus: in previous version there was possibility

martin mrmus: now i can find none

martin mrmus: Even if I turn off (ban) app in settings menu and it no longer shows in menu the update center still notifies me about updates.

Agent Lisbeth: I will be more than glad to help you with your inquiry.

martin mrmus: version of update center 2.3.0.A.0.7

Agent Lisbeth: In this case, you can disabled the updates for the app but you cannot hide them.

Agent Lisbeth: If you don't want to see the updates for the app, you can disable them.

martin mrmus: but there is still notification icon about update and it´s annoying

martin mrmus: as i wrote :Even if I turn off (disable) app in settings menu the update center still notifies me about updates.

Agent Lisbeth: Ok.

Agent Lisbeth: Let me check this information for you.

martin mrmus: ok wait

Agent Lisbeth: You can go to Google Play Store when you open the app you will see three little lines one on top of the other, tap on it and it will give you the option of settings, you can unchecked the updates notifications.

martin mrmus: not that

martin mrmus: i mean notification from update center (app from sony)

Agent Lisbeth: In this case, the notification from the update center cannot be removed, you will need to perform the update to make it go away if not you won't be able to remove it.

Agent Lisbeth: I apologize for the issues this may cause.

Agent Lisbeth: Is there anything else than I can help you with.

martin mrmus: so updates are forced. or i can watch annoying notifications. nice

Agent Lisbeth: I really apologize for this.

martin mrmus: can u fix this? some apps like album or walkman are great, but other movies, movie creator are unnecessary

Agent Lisbeth: You want to remove them?

martin mrmus: sure, on market are meny better movie players than yours

martin mrmus: and movie creator is unnecessary for me at all

Agent Lisbeth: In this case you can disable or uninstall the app you want on your device, there are a few that cannot be removed but they can be disable.

Agent Lisbeth: You can perform this by going on Settings>App>All and select the app you want to disable or uninstall.

martin mrmus: and thats what im talking about, i cannot delele them (system apps) and even if i disable them update center still notifies me about updates even they are disabled.

Agent Lisbeth: I really apologize but this are the options you have, there's nothing else we can do regarding this. This are features from the device that we cannot removed.

Agent Lisbeth: I apologize for the issues this may cause you.

martin mrmus: thanks:D

martin mrmus: have a nice day

Agent Lisbeth: Thank you for choosing Sony Xperia™. I'm happy I could help. Have a great day! If you require more information please visit our Support Forum at http://talk.sonymobile.com/community/support

This Sony movie creator app is pretty much aggressive as in Internet Explorer in earliest version of Microsoft Windows. You don't want them in your system but you don't have other choice . You can't disable them (

After updating my Z1 Compact (4.4.4) to build. 157, I am sure that the Update Center doesn't get the new updates for Walkman and Album apps.
