Long story short.....
The old android market (green and white) ran awesomely and took up very little space on my phone (Desire)
The new android market (grey) keeps crashing runs sluggish, only works through VPN and takes up about 10 times as much space.

Is there a way to stop it from constantly trying to upgrade itself on a non-rooted phone ?

Apart from the annoyance of having to go into my settings and uninstall the new market and flash 11 each time I want to use the market, it's also updating itself when I'm out and about and its eating into my data allowance :(

I tried deleting the market updater.apk but I don't have the permissions, all I can do is force stop it and then stay well away from the market and hope for the best.

As I say, I need a permanent solution for a non-rooted phone..... I hope there is one !!

Cheers
