How Do I Stop Resources from Being Updated Automatically on My Android Tablet

My immediate problem is an "Unknown Error Occurred Opening Resource" error when I try to open a new version of the NET Bible resource. But because I suspect a broader issue, I will begin with some context.

A significant part of my Logos usage is on an admittedly old Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition: splitting the screen is convenient for having the Scripture (in Logos) right next to sermon notes that I am taking (in Evernote). This has worked well for years, and since the tablet still works well, I have not wanted to pay to replace it. But I learned today that, because the tablet has Android 5.1, I can no longer update the Logos app. Though that is a little frustrating, I recognizing that developers have challenges given Google's relentless pace of Android changes.

Earlier this week, I tried to use the NET Bible, which I frequently consult for its useful notes. I noticed that a new version of the resource had just downloaded automatically. When I tried to switch from ESV to the NET Bible, I got the error "Unknown Error Occurred Opening Resource." I have tried restarting Logos, restarting the tablet, and downloading a new copy of the resource (in case it was corrupted). I am still getting the same error.

An older post here suggests that this error indicates an incompatibility between the resource and the engine in the app. Thus, I infer that I am getting the error because the new NET Bible resource requires a new version of the Logos app, which I cannot get. If that is not so--if there is a way to solve the problem with using the NET Bible--I would like to know.

But if I am correct, I want to make sure that no other resources are downloaded to my tablet automatically. I do not want this problem to repeat with other resources that are working on my tablet today. I have looked for an option to stop automatic download of resources. I have seen a forum post saying that such an option was being added to the Android app, but I cannot find it. Can anyone point me to where I can set that?

    Brent, we're not ignoring your query ... just don't know the answer.

    I use both the current version of the app, and last year's version.

    The latter has manual updating on the home page ... I never select it, though it shows how many resources have an update. 

    The current version got re-worked. I don't see any way to control updating.

    A few years back, there was a similar issue ... the app accepting an unqualified download (which they fixed). Not sure about your experience. Hopefully someone else will know.

    Thank you, Denise.

    I just found the Logos app version on my tablet, and it is 8.10.1. Does that mean that I posted in the wrong forum? Should I have posted in the Logos 8 Mobile App forum?

    Sorry, I missed your query!

    I suppose re-posting might be a good idea (L8 mobile app). Normally, Alabama does outfield for mobile; nothing gets past him!

    The name of this sub-forum might be a bit misleading. I think it meant 'old-forum', not 'older-versions'. I see both.
