Has anyone used this beta version of the speedtest.net app? This is different from the one in the marketplace. I checked it out and works well, plus it has the interface that the iphone version of the app has.
Also, the site says that its optimized for thunderbolt lte speeds. And it seems to appear that way. My upload speeds now read somewhere between 4-8mbps instead of the outrageous 35mbps+.
This IS a beta btw. full details at the link.

Lets see if it the same for all other devices too
Thank you. These speeds seem a bit more believable.
Well, this will be disappointing for some people out there.

No disappointment here, still getting 40mb up
Finally! Works pretty damn close to tethered results!
Man, thanks for this! About time we got the nicer interface for this app.
Cool! nice link
Thanks for that man. Way more accurate.

I haven't downloaded this beta, but for the last two weeks or so, the app from the market has been giving me correct LTE upspeeds.
It still has the problem with the L.A. server. It even gave me a full system reboot.
Doesn't work at all. Showing sub 1 Mbps for upload and download.

same speed when I tried hotspot to laptop or run the desktop version of speedtest.net on thunderbolt.
I see no difference between running the old app or the beta. I ran 5 with the old app, avg around 23 down and 5 up and got the same results with the beta. I do like the new interface though, so I guess its a win.
speed test for the La server is broken

Changes seem to have been geared towards fixing the FC issues on some phones. The game doesn't FC during startup on my Evo anymore, but it seems it FCs on other phones now (according to the comments in the market).

Enough already. Just release the full version!! I've got 3 stars on almost all of the levels. I need more levels!!!!
I can't even get the damned thing installed on my EVO lol. After the update, it failed to install successfully and I can't figure out wtf happened.
I don't know about everyone else but when I tried to download Angry Birds off the market it couldn't find it so I googled it and found the apk.

It runs kind of slow on my hero CM6, like the lite beta, but it still works. This is the full version and it is pretty fun imo.

You cant post apps that you did not have permission to post on here. And considering the full version is paid, that would be a ware. Please take down the link.
Um... No it doesn't cost money, its ad supported. Therefore I would Imagine Rovio would like it on as many smart phones as possible.

My Girlfriend has been harassing me about this game every since i let her play it on my evo (worst mistake i could've done) I installed it via apk as it wont show on the market for her phone? But the graphics are all off it doesnt show some of the things like certain rocks, wooden boards etc..... I was wondering was there anything I could do to fix this now she is running latest stock rom. Should i flash it and if so what rom would allow her to play the game correctly? Or do i need a special version or am i s.o.l?

CM6.1 with the latest CFS uncapped kernel. I'd say it runs more than 10 fps, probably closer to 20. By no means is it as smooth as it is on the iphone/ipod or the EVO, but it's FAR better than it was prior to the update.

Weird, I'm running CM6.1 with the latest CFS uncapped kernel, and I'm getting maybe 5 fps. I wonder what the difference is? Are you using JIT?

I currently do have JIT enabled. Even before I enabled it, and was running one of the CM6 nightlies, i was getting better than 10fps. Maybe 5 or 10fps at the worst moments, but the game for me has ALWAYS been slightly choppy, I'd say around 20ish fps at best, closer to 15 usually. It seems to be running right around 20-23fps right now, don't know if there's a way to test it.
EDIT: to clear this up, prior to the update, when I couldn't see textures, it seemed to run slower than it does with textures/full animation.

Great, thank you
Same, really slow on my side too.
Uninstall and go back to earlier version. Pray that the update is discretionary and not forced. I doubt it will be any faster and it surely won't get any prettier

If anyone finds this app too complex, do try my other app I've developed to address this issue. It has nearly all the same features though very easy to use. Here is the xda link:

Was the first app I bought for my new Galaxy SII. Crazy amount of features.
+1 for sync! PLEEEEEEASE!!!!
Edit: Nevermind.
Love this POWERFUL app. But love to have the following changes in the upcoming version.
1. Memorize the settings selection in Extra. E.g. "from" and "to" language for Google Translate, Currency converter.
2. Sorted list for Currency. (e.g. ANG > BHD > VEF ...etc). It's quite hard to find the currency I am looking for the current implementation.
Just downloaded it, very nice app, seems to have LOADS of functionality.
Thank you very much
Glad you guys like it. Yes still lots of work to do with it

Shame on me.
2 weeks ago I've seen on the Google's homepage "Nexus S a pure Google experience" I clicked and long story short I decided to buy (for $0 of course, the 'only for today' strategy got me..) a Nexus S... at first I was very very very Happy... Frontal camera, video calls with skype, google videos, Gingerbread, NETFLIX (!!!)...
I wasn't really thrilled about the size of the screen... sensibly smaller than the Inspire although the resolution was the same, and the colors... the nexus' screen's colors are kinda yellowish...
I was so happy about the new features though that I've ALMOST sold my Inspire! Then right before selling it my Nexus fully charged during the night dies in my pocket at 4 in the afternoon... A sign from god... I started noticing the abnormal battery consumption and I open my eyes..
Long story short... I m now selling my Nexus S and keeping my Inspire... Using the Inspire after 2 weeks feels like a million dollars.. but now I really miss google videos and netflix!
Does anybody know how to get them on Inspire?? Apparently neither of them are compatible.... BS i say...
Netflix works fine on the latest Gingerbread update for Inspire. I don't know about google videos.

yea - no disagreement here.
And just realized I missed your question about the stability of the GB update - I hadn't heard anything about it being unstable. I'm currently running virtuous unity v 1.33 (GB 2.3.4), which is in Beta, and seems incredibly stable to me. There are other GB ROMs that have been out for a WHILE that are also incredibly stable. If you're already running stock rooted, then you have root and guessing you're s-off, why not flash a custom GB ROM?
Oh no i meant the OFFICIAL one... I tried various roms and the only one I feel confortable with on the Inspire is the stock with sense and stock radio... So when I heard about the official GB update I was very happy... instead it's full of major bugs.. shame.
I will wait till they fix the update and somebody cooks the original rom... I'm not really a Sense fan but it performs very well on their devices...
