Same as old app?
Has the old break speed app been bought by Predator? Or is this somehow a better app that they have developed on their own?

mine is working on a Motorola, android
yes, it's now the predator break speed app. it updated automatically at least 6 mos ago.
Mine is also crashing on a GS4 using a 4.4.2 rom
I contacted Break Speed but haven't heard back.

I noticed that if there is a lot of background noise like music or loud talking.. it will throw it off............. I come to that assumption when it said I was breaking at 50mph lol
I consistently break between 24-27mph. and that was on my iPhone. I don't know if it would be the same reading using my new Galaxy S4..

29mph working fine galaxy s4
I also sent them an email and they replied back last night and are looking in to it. At least I know now is not just my phone.
Have you done the latest update?
IT IS BUY IT!!!
I range between 17 and 21 mph. Consitently 19 and 20s. Highest 37mph with absolutly no noise in the room on a 9ft table 8ball rack and made the 8 on that break along with 3 more balls.

Used the app yesterday and it worked perfectly for 4 hours straight on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Working on it...
Hey gang,
There is apparently an issue with 4.4 (KitKat) updates that prevents Break Speed from working.
I know this to be a problem for the Galaxy S4 and the Nexus 5. If there is a device running KitKat that actually works with the app, I'd like to know about it.
There are a lot of rumblings about this bug in KitKat, but I don't think anybody filed a formal bug report yet. I'll do this, but I will still need to find a workaround for the bug. I've been at it for a few hours last night and no luck, but I'm sure I'll find something that will get it working. As soon as I do, I'll publish the update.
Tech details for the curious:
When initializing audio on Android, you have to specify the audio format and the memory buffer size. It's important to make sure this buffer isn't too small, so they provide a system call for asking the audio system what the minimum buffer size is for any given audio format. This call is crashing. I've debugged into the Android code and it is crashing in the Android OS. This crash causes the recording thread to die, but the app keeps running. When you stop the recording, all hell breaks loose because there isn't a recording thread to stop. *crash*

This is the same Break Speed app. We have a cross-promotional deal with Predator, so we re-skinned the app with their art assets and updated the Android app to include the same features that had been in the iOS version for some time.
It works the exact same as the original version.
Thanks for the quick replies to the emails and for posting here! Thats what I call great support! Hopefully the solution will come soon so we can keep having fun with it :thumbup:
Speaking of re-skinned!
Have a few options for displaying the speed besides a big white number would
add a lot of visual appeal. Imagine something like your avatar (a car-type round speedometer).
Yeah, or have a back-end database that just saves speed so you can take your current break and compare it to the rest of the world that has used the app.
This is actually a very useful thread, I'm happy to see the creators actually reading and posting replies. I have been using the app for a few months now and am very happy with the way it performs.
However I to have an issue that I haven't been able to get around. Every time that I try to post my speed to Facebook I get a message that the token has changed and that the page is no longer available. As a result it never gets posted.
How do we fix that, any help would be greatly appreciated. And, yes it's worth the $5.00
