OR,<br>
A list of "valid" versions that are allowed to work, IF the
version does not show as "valid" then a pop-up tells the user
that he/she must upgrade.<br><br>
Of course an Internet connection is required, but in this case that would
always be the case!<br><br>

If it has internet then the app can check a remote config to determine if
there is a new version available and force the user to upgrade
it.<br><br>

<dd>The last time I had a comparable issue, APRSdroid was flooding the
IS<br>
<dd>network with position packets under some obscure conditions. It
was<br>
<dd>reported on this list in April 2012 as a flooding problem with
my<br>
<dd>client, but the description was not sufficient for a proper
cause<br>
<dd>analysis.<br><br>
<dd>It took over a year, until August 2013, for another person to give
me<br>
<dd>the right hint, so I was able to triangulate the issue as an
off-by-one<br>
<dd>problem when approaching the fast speed setting when using
SmartBeaconing.<br><br>
<dd>Another two weeks later, I released APRSdroid 1.2.3, which fixed
the<br>
<dd>issue, but still is not used by 5% of the user base.<br><br>
