I'm making a new thread, previous was
»[iPhone] iPhone Speedtest plus GEO-TAGGING, question for Justin

Here is the ".app" and provisioning file for the first version but I'll have an update today or tomorrow.

.app zip:
»/getfile/Ok8/a0715b.zip

Provision file:
Please IM me to get the link to the provision file that includes your UUID. The .app is useless without it.

Feedback is welcome, post here is fine, but I wanna queue this up for appstore approval soon!

It will be free. Despite the Wired article about "rags to riches" developers I think the right thing is to start it off as a free app and only create a premium version if it I can prove it is worth it.

if you want to get a look and haven't done so already please contact me with your iphone or itouch UUID .. see other topic for details on how to get that. I'll get it added to the "provisioning file" when I collect a few more to make it worth posting an update.

Of course if you are not _already_ in the provisioning file then please wait until a new one is posted after you send me your UUID.

update: I'm having trouble keeping up with UUIDs

if your UUID is not already on this list, please send it to me. I'll just show the first bit of each that we know about..

7269bff2fe...
0c7a5736c5...
1e1d1abb5e...
c4bef8fc34...
df8608eca8...
a6f159aa5b...

Lets call the version that a few have seen, version 1.0

Don't bother to install 1.0 now, if you have not already, because version 1.1 is coming soon with a host of fixes and enhancements. I'm hoping by the end of this weekend!

When it is ready, it'll come with the provision file for the above list of UUIDs and any more that I get.

thanks

Re: iphone appstore speedtest

I have sent instructions on the current release to

Thinkdiff
BBR_InsUW
tango_bob
bobrk
Nemokrad
Gwellin
HiVolt
DoLeMiTe

there are a few more hex codes in the list above for which I couldn't locate the owners. Please IM me to get the same message as the above group got.

There will be a new release in a couple of days as the current release still has some obvious glitches that are easy to fix but our programmer is taking a break.

Great work. That being said, since the app knows your location, can the available servers be listed in order of distance instead of alphabetical.
The bottom row icons are, well, missing for the history and Help.
The compare results bring you to the main DSLR page.
Is there any way to sort the test results by best or worst.

Once again, great work!

Bob

edit - The Map function in the Test Detail brings me to the general vicinity, but I'm used to seeing the little blue circle.

It will go to some kind of page that shows other results from other people using the program.

Uh, unless I'm mistaken that is the old version. Justin sent two versions, at least I got two, and I'm actually not sure which is the latest. That screen shot is not from the most recent PM. Maybe future versions should have a very noticeable version number somewhere so we can keep track.

I dunno, this is the one I received from Justin via PM on monday (29th). I never used any previous versions as I just recently sent Justin my UDID.

DoLeMiTe My Dixie Wrecked Premium join:2001-01-11 New Kensington, PA ·Comcast	I found a way to repeatably crash the app for me. When I go to run the test and just choose Latency and let it run its course. When I click the Cancel button it just sends me back to the Springboard. I tried this using WiFi and 3G and also restarted the phone to no avail.

I seem to be having serious issues with the accuracy of this app.

When performing the speed test in "All" mode, it reports GPRS as being faster than 3G!

When using 3G in "All" mode it is consistently reporting the download speed as 118Kb/s (approx) and upload speed of 60Kb/s, meanwhile it is reporting GPRS as a download speed of 300Kb/s and upload of 9Kbit/sec.

This is clearly bogus as GPRS can't achieve anywhere near 300Kbit/sec, 30-40Kb/sec is all you could expect on GPRS.

From watching the screen it seems that the download sessions are aborted early when testing GPRS (network issues perhaps ?) but the app is then assuming that the download is complete and calculating the speed based on that with no regard for the fact that less than 1/10 of the download actually completed - a bug.

Also when testing 3G I consistently get 118Kbit down, 60Kbit up in "ALL" mode, even though I know my connection is faster than that. If I do the "Download" only test the speed averages around 860Kb/sec - with peaks as high as 1.7Mbit/sec.

Clearly something wrong here as well with the very low reported speed in "All" mode.

Any ideas anyone ? Great app, but very inaccurate, and I have yet to find an iPhone speed test app that is not wildly inaccurate :-(

Regards
