Thankyou for helping is to correct him. When I read his post I cudnt help saying out loud. "What kind of logic is this?"

Lol, you must be on Android 1.6 the only version I never used, from 2.1 to 5.0, bros you have no clue how Apps update, on the play store it shows you the original app size but when you do a space simulation, you will notice it downloaded less than it showed you.
The APP size it shows you is just to warn you of maximum space required for installation.

keep swimming in your liquid ignorance. if u have a multi-window device. open ur root explorer and ur default app updater (mobogenie, playstore and d likes). click on update for one of your large apps, then watch ur cache data size. gimme a feedback of how much was downloaded before the installation prompt shows up. and hope u know u can quickly copy the same downloaded installation (update) file and paste somewhere else before it automatically wipes off after successful installation so u can keep it for a fresh future installation (which i normally do when am too tired to use titanium backup) re-quote me when you are through. cheers

True talk.. . Downloaded one spider man game. It was 40mb when i checked the store. After playibg 2ce, they said i should download the remaining. By the time i knew it, i had spent 350mb and still counting.
I had to end it...

I had it too. I uninstalled the rubbish.

OLADO:


Oga no sir, it doesn't remove previous versions, it simply updates them.

For Example go and check some pre installed apps on ur android eg say Hangout, u cant un install except u av rooted ur device. The only option is to un install updates made to it. When you do that, it takes the app back to the earliest version that came with the phone, same tin wen u update it simply upgrades the version to a newer one and not un install previous version.

Instagram App is almost updated every two weeks, and i must tell u u only add abt btw 2 and 10mb per update to the previous version on ur phone and not installing the whole 20 or 25mb it displays.

I'm talking about 3rd party apps not system apps.
When an update for a 3rd party is released whatever is the size displayed is what your phone downloads, that's been true for me so far.The Instagram app probably came as a system app.
Updating a 3rd party app entails replacing the old version with the new as part of the update process the old version is removed except for the app data . If you want to revert back to the old version uninstall updates is not an option.
Mind you i'm talking about third party apps here.

Nawaoo. If you want to increase the number of rooms in your house from 3 to 5, do you destroy the 3 and build fresh 5?

If you build a 3 bedroom bungalow, and later added 2 more rooms to it, how many rooms will you have. More or less?

Your analogy doesn't apply here.
This is your comment "Updates do not download the whole
package all over again, only the updated contents
are downloaded." to which i'm trying to convey how wrong you are.
If only the updated content is being downloaded then the data downloaded (Not the installed apk) should be smaller since you are not getting the whole package but this is not the case. You can download only the updated content if it's a system app you are updating but if it's a 3rd party app you're getting the whole package.

Thats why i have only about 15HD games and about 126 other APPS on my Android phone.

Are you paid to play?

Zane2point4:


Oga, you are the one that is wrong, I have actually experienced this severally, I wanted to update a navigation app and d former size was 200mb while the new update was arnd 250mb, my subscription was almost out I had like 65mb left and after updating my balance was 5mb left, so ur wrong.

If i may ask what navigation app is that? And what's the make and model of your phone?

What navigation app do you use?

naturefellow:

Playing games is just my little way of entertaining myself when i am bored and less busy.

ITbomb:
My Android is on manual update.
I update it only when I see a significant new features.

Not to introduce a new language support and ask me to update a 40mb app.

WellSaid!

let me just add one last thing, whenever I am updating an app from play store, I see two things....the total size of the file, and the download status in percentage. The update always tells me Download Completed before the status reaches 100%. I dont think it has ever exceeded 20 - 30%.....meaning that only the updated content was downloaded AND added to your existing package. Good day.

Quite the opposite in my case. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Sygic map. S5.

It depends on your device, I use a Nexus 5 with no unnecessary mobile provider bloatware and have over 40 apps that I use (a few games, email, messaging, social media, banking apps) not once have I run out of storage space or memory.

Asphalt 8 my nigga, how far hav yu gone?

temmym4:


Bro. he is right, updating your windows pc is totally different from an android phone. your pc updates the partial files needed to upgrade your old files. your google play app on the phone actually download a fresh installation update (a latest version of d old app). aiit?!

okay can you give an explanation for the observation i made above.

What is this one saying,if you don't know ask,instead of spewing rubbish,when you download an update to an App,you're downloading the who 50Mb eg,not just 10Mb,if you are not sure,don't confuse others with your ignorance..

fool research before posting
