...so tests can be done even if librespeed.org is unreachable

Hi there

I know I'm probably doing something stupid but for the life of me I cannot get the server working on my own custom version of this software.

I have the normal web version working just fine (dantecampbell.org/speedtest)
But I cannot get the android app to use that as a server, these are my servers settings in the android app:
{
"name":"mytestserver",
"server":"http://dantecampbell.org/speedtest",
"dlURL":"backend/garbage.php",
"ulURL":"backend/empty.php",
"pingURL":"backend/empty.php",
"getIpURL":"backend/getIP.php"
}

Please if any of you see something obvious I am missing help me.

Hi all ..can u tech me how to add more server for test? Thanks

Please take the program source code to GitLab.

When you open the app you get this error message:
Configuration error: Failed to load server list
And the app is unusable.

The librespeed.org website is also unusable with this message:
No servers available

Currently, this repository contains two things:

1. the core package which provides an interface to execute speedtests
2. an Android application template that uses this interface

I suggest that you separate these two things into two separate repositories. One for the speedtest library and one for the android app template.

This would give the following advantages:

• It would be easier to use the library (core package), not only in android apps but also in any java app
• It would offer the possibility to publish the speedtest library to maven
• It would make the licensing clearer. You could for example publish the library under LGPL and the application template under MIT license
• It would make it easier to contribute to the projects

A good alternative to multiple repositories could also be multiple branches inside one repository.

Current UX is that after completing your first speed test and clicking "New test", you're then booted to the home screen which then is "Selecting servers" for a few seconds again, and then it picks a new server for you.

A few changes could be made here:

• It doesn't need to be "Selecting servers" for the second (or third, or fourth, etc) time in the same session. Remember what servers exist for at least the duration the app is open (but ideally it'd only be required to check again after say 24 hours).
• Remember the server that was selected for the first test. For the second test it automatically picked a server for me which was several countries away when I had already tested with a server in my own country.
• Show a table for the last few tests made (date/time column, server selected, then the speed values).

Can one help me please to resolve this issue .

I would like to pull the latest .apk directly from github using Obtainium. In order to do this, the latest released .apk would have to be listed under Releases. Would this be possible or is there another way to get the latest .apk directly from github?

Mbps is sometimes Megabyte and sometimes megabit. What does it mean?

I would like it there for example:

• metadata description
• about/settings
• when I click on Mbps, I would like it to swap with the other unit.

How does it relate to MBps? (1000/1024 based)

is it possible to record a video teaching us how to configure the template and create the app? i tried all the ways via android studio and i have many errors in java

Excuse me, I would like to ask you a question, yours is a single data source speed measurement, if I need multiple data sources to download speed measurement, what do I need to do

I have free ipv6 connection provided by hurricane provider (swedish), my ipv4 from my local provider (russia). Ping and speed may (hehehe) vary depend on connection.

Currently I seem unable to do so.
The only way is to use the "Share" feature...
... but doing so just provides a URL w the results,
not the actual results themselves.

Purpose:
I want to store the results data locally.
(esp my external internet IP address)

p.s.
Thank you for this app!
It seems to be the only opensource app i can find (at least in fdroid-compatible repos) that shows my external IP address.

When a test has already started and you maybe want to switch servers or just cancel the speed test, it would be very convenient to have an Abort button, like on the website.

Please implement/show an Abort button when a test is in progress.

Hi,
Would be possible to implement the option to test multiple times and extract statistics after loop is complete?
This could be interesting when testing own server and/or network.
Thank you

Hi ..may I know speedtestconfig.json how to put server list? Have Example?

When I tried the App in two cell phones, I got high ping delays, low download speed and extremely low upload speed.

From one cell phone to Helsinki:

ping 290ms
jitter 253ms
download 7.65 Mbps
upload 0.72 Mpps

From Emulator to Helsinki (computer running the emulator is connected to the same router as the cell phone)

ping 133ms
jitter 1.32ms
download 41.4 Mpbs
upload 35.0 Mbps

Measuring my internet speed using from the cell phone to Google, using chrome in the cell phone)

latency 9ms
download 39.9 Mbps
upload 28.3 Mbps

Measuring my internet speed using from computer to Google, using chrome in the computer

latency 9ms
download 89.9 Mbps
upload 52.5 Mbps

So, results using the app are always slower then using Chrome, but in the cell phone the effect is much stronger.

It is too inefficient for the server operator to send a pull request for each new LibreSpeed server.
There are several Librespeed servers in my country, but none of them are listed in the app.

...on purpose, right?

FYI I fixed it for F-Droid: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/commit/4a019d767c22722fc8ede78fb5b6d927d26d0a78#10eff4d8b13f8b4a6d6a94aaa0e7de205dd67b12

Hello,
I implemented my speedtest in the android app and when i ckick start then come 'An error occuredd'.

Could you please add an option to specify your own server?

What do you think about adding GPS location as an option when using telemetry on the servers? I think adding GPS location would be possible by using the telemetry_extra advanced parameter (https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest/blob/master/doc.md about half way down the page) to add it to the tests. Could be made so that the option to include GPS as a boolean setting if used when customizing the template. This would be a great help vs. geolocation via IP address.

Thank you for your work on this project and consideration on this proposed feature.

Currently, when we open the application at night, we get flashed by white background...

It would be useful to have system theme by default or dark theme in options somewhere.

Currently the app does not check if the backends are working. The web-version does that, would be nice if the android app would do that too.

Please add support for icon shape

Whenever the app auto-selects its server, it choses one in Germany, even though I am in the UK and there is a UK server in the list. (I am not using a VPN.)

Thank you for your software. I have version 'demo-1.2.3' (which is the 'suggested' build). I am using a phone running Android 12.

When you should open an issue:

• You want a feature added
• You found a bug (for instance, a parameter not being parsed correctly, or the test not working on a system that should be supported)
• Suggestions for improving a feature
• You want to discuss a design choice or want to know more about something regarding the test

When you should NOT open an issue:

• If you need troubleshooting. Contact me at [email protected].

If you open an issue:

• Try to describe your problem/suggestion thoroughly
• For a bug report, I need to know about your server (OS, server, configuration, network, ...) as well as your client (Model and OS at least). Post screenshots if necessary.

After many test data comparisons, in the same device and the same network environment, the download and upload values of web page speed measurement are higher than Android. Why?
Web page refers to librespeed speedtest HTML.

Could you add support for adaptive icons?
