google play store - Restrict market updates to WiFi network


In order to save some volume on my data plan, I'd like to limit updates from the market to the times when I'm connected to a WiFi. And as every good geek, I want this to be automated, in other words, if I am connected to a WiFi network, check and install updates from the market (for those apps that I allow to automatically update). Is there a way of doing this?


I'm running Android 2.2 on an HTC Desire. If it helps, I have Tasker installed.


Update: I don't want to change the autosync settings.


Update II: I'm not rooted and am looking for a "stock" solution.




Answer



The new version of the Market app allows you to limit updates to Wi-Fi only, among some other new features, like defaulting all apps to auto-update (if the app supports it).


Android Police has a write-up. (They also have the apk you can download if you don't want to wait.)
