WOW thats odd! I see what you are saying.  have you relogged back onto the market to see if an additional update was there?  I did last night and there was another one. I am guessing the developer hd to do a quick fix (ironic timing since your post).   

Also, what happens when you uninstall and roll back to a backup copy before the updates?

Better yet, what happens if you uninstall then reinstall direct from the market again?

[Ann154]

I will try uninstalling and reinstall later. I need to export all of my test results out of the application first. I don't change servers often so I probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it.

[RicoLX]

Yup, after seeing that white blank space where a scrolling list of server location should appear was an eyeopener. Anxious to see what the cause is and what resolves it. You are exporting your test results? You are keeping a running log of your speed tests? Ive been deleting them... I guess i should start saving/archiving them. thanks!

How are you exporting the log?  I can only see an email option (one by one)?

[Ann154]

Speedtest.net responded quickly to my email and and have notified me that a bug fix will be released on the Market shortly.

[Ann154]

In the results tab, press menu and then export results to csv and email. It only grabs the top 100 results so if you have more you have to export the first 100, delete those 100 and export the next 100.

Rinse and repeat...

Yes I have started keeping a running excel file with my results. Both to see the differences in speeds vs connection and a chance to learn how to work with Office 2007 at home.

WOW! Talk about CLOUT! Somebody got some serious " pull" who I know, im not naming names! Please let me know when the modification hits the market! I too, will download the Android154 initiated update!

"Rinse and Repeat", haha, I likes! I will do just that right now!

[Ann154]

I think it is available now Speedtest.net 2.0.5 version.

[RicoLX]

Great, Anndroid154! I am going to go give it a go! I cant wait to see your screenshots where its working for you!

[RicoLX]

Anndroid154! i see the updaet on the market as we speak (well, type).. I just read a very recent review whre someone is asking why so many updates... lol, i sent my review to follow up with saying i know someone who... and the developer followup was prompt, and accurate.    lemme know when you see my review on the product in the market!  

[RicoLX]

hmmm, looks like a 'rollback' to a prior copy of the app. i guess they pulled what ever update they made to it yesterday and placed a prior version out there to fix what your device revealed. let me know if whats out there now workes on your phone. hmmmm.

[Ann154]

I don't see your review yet.

[RicoLX]

Hmmm, i wonder if online reviews gets posted later than reviews submited from the device? Let me log back on and see (ive downloaded from the computer this time instead of my phone). do you see a comment from an "alex" as recent as today asking why so many app updates?

[Ann154]

"Data Thief" Alex?

[RicoLX]

Yep, the rascal... no wait! Data Thief Alex is not me! lol, i posted after he did to  say i know somone who prompted the recent modification. u see it yet?

Rico wanted me to post a great screenshot/screen capture app, so here it is. This is the one I use, and it works great. It's so incredibly simple to just tap the virtual camera lens on the upper left hand corner of my phone than to try and figure out how to to do it manually on my phone pressing the Home and Back buttons numerous times and failing miserably.

Here it is, everyone - Shortcut Screen Capture Free: https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.tomorrowkey.android.screencaptureshortcutfree&hl=en

[RicoLX]

Cool app WB! I will give this app a try muself! Soumds really nice!

Hi KittySmurf! Whats the first app? What does it do and do you have that link (hehe, got my interest by name alone).

Live Profile:

Ive  been looking for an app that will change certain settings throughout the day so that , say, during business hours, my phone will use a basic 'ringtone' like a simple office phone ringer instead of some of the "cheezy" ringtones i have (hehe)   and if i am in a meeting at a particluar time same time each day, like the profile to go silent, etc.

I am using Sound Manager (I see Anndroid154 has it too)  but it only adjusts the volume controls on a scheduled basis (but not profile driven to include ringtones, etc).

Mr. Number:

Does this app block calls that are "unknown"  or displayed "Private"?

[RicoLX]

For the Database-type-geeks (like me!)

M E M E N T O

This is a portable database right on your android device! You can create multible databasees to store personal information such as collectibles, purchases , inventories, web links, even MP3! Collections and Ringtones.

You can set a password for  each database for protection!

I recently set up a custom database to track my Ringtones. I name the database, add fields, set the data types for each, even.  Entered my records including attaching the ringtone mp3 to each record entry.  Added a comment field and a auto datetimestamp when i created the ringtone and a date field that autofills when the record was entered to the database.

You can be very creative if you are the database kind. I plan to build a SpeedTest database, set up the approprioate fields to keep a log of my speed tests ! (inspired by none other than Anndroid154!!!)

Check it out:

[Ann154]

That application looks interesting and I will keep it in mind if I ever need something like it.

This application also looks intriguing. I wish there was a free version, but the price isn't too bad.

[RicoLX]

Youll be amazed at what a portable database can do. I have been looking for a way to do batch imports, or export comma or tab delimited columns but I guess cant have everything. This database app does just about what you would need for its compact portable size!

I have seen Spelling Bee flash across my Market Widget on the home screen! Nice. I too wish it was free.

[RicoLX]

I was online looking for a number to a company (not AT&T) and came across a site that had exactly what in needed!  I saw where they had an app advertised on their site but never checked it out in the Android Market until now.

GetHuman

Description:

This app provide a quick way to look up phone numbers and other shortcuts to get you to a person for companies you may have to reach! If

Cuts a lot of searching online for numbers, or being placed "on hold" for hours (sometimes even cut off) while someone transfers you from department to department.  This app may have the number you need and cuts out the wait.

Has shortcut codes to put you in touch with a real person (no more automated menu options to select over and over and..)

                  

Email and mailing info also available . 

Not bad for a free app!

Hey WB! how did that sticky-note widget work on your home screen?

[RicoLX]

I wonder whats a good data usage app in the market? I have the unlimited plan but want to see my daily usage just to compare to what att will be reporting in months to come, now that theyve thrown in a new twist around our necks to squeeze the unlimited plan out of our grabby hands.

Any suggestions?

Hey Anndroid154, have you checked into this Notification Bar Changer App yet?  Whats your recommendations?

(love that droid life site.. the splash colors on the main screen reminds me of 'chocolate covered cherries...mmm)

[RicoLX]

Thanks Anndroid154 for recommending this app!  I have been looking for an app that lets me crop  section or capture the entire web page in a browser!  You are a genius!!!

DOLPHIN SCREEN CUT

(require having Dolphin HD Browser installed)

[RicoLX]

Ann(droid154) :

How do you like the Elixir App that you've installed and briefly commented on a few months ago ( See Message #62 )?  Does this app track data usage per app such as, say, if i used "Twitter" (which do do not) for a certain period, would Elixir track the amount of data used when this app is activated?  Or is this mainly a resource to track battery usage ?

The screenshots for this app look like it would be something useful that I would like to use. I'll look for this in the Android Market.
