Disable automatic update checking
 

When I catch a WLAN my N900 just gets sooo slow. I found the problem, everyday it tries to check updates for my huge collection of soft from extras (devel/test), I don't need that. Plus with devel stuff i am happy with the version that I have if it causes no problems. Can I disable update checking? Making it only manual from app manager?

Just set the update interval to some impossibly high amount of time and you should no longer get update checks.
