Managing your downloads
After you’ve downloaded and installed an application, you can rate it, view it in a list
with your other downloaded applications, configure it to update itself automatically,
and so on.
View your downloaded applications
You can view a list of the applications you’ve downloaded from Android Market, and
use the list for a number of purposes.
S On the Android Market home screen, press Menu and touch My apps.
In the list of the free and paid applications that opens, you can touch one to rate it,
uninstall it, request a refund, and so on.
Set whether an application is updated automatically
Applications you download from Market are not set to update automatically by default;
applications that came with your phone are. But you can change that setting for either

application updates are available” on page 348).
1 On the Android Market home screen, press Menu and touch My apps.
2 Touch an application.
3 Check or uncheck Allow automatic updating.
Respond to a notification that application updates are available
You receive notification whenever a new version of an application is available (unless
you disable update notifications; see “Set whether you’re notified about updated
applications” on page 349). Responding to notifications in general is described in
“Managing notifications” on page 29.
If an application is set to update automatically, and the application has not changed
the permissions it requires, the notification informs you after the update is
downloaded and installed (see “Set whether an application is updated automatically”
on page 348).
If the application is not set to update automatically, or if the update changes the
permissions it requires, you’re notified you have updates available. Touching the
notification opens the Downloads screen in Market. Each application you’ve
