If you're poking along riding up a long hill at 5 mph ( or less ) you have to wonder how accurately the app ( via the satellite signal ) is going to be able to triangulate the calculation for your speed ( seeing that many times it has a problem just trying to track you period. I think that all of this just goes with the limitations of consumer electronics. I think when NASA tracks objects in space they are likely using more sophisticated technology.
Anyway, I do have Trimble Outdoor Navigator on my android. It does tracking and has stats for avg.speed, trip time and such. It wasn't free though and I really haven't used it enough to know whether or not it is accurate. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Sadly you might have to just use a standard bike computer as I'm sure there are some that will include both total trip time and total moving time. I love the android stuff but I'm not giving up my bike computer because it's just too useful of a tool.
Good luck, I hope you find something that works.
I will look into Trimble. Don't mind paying a few $$$. Regards bike computer, I have 7 bikes and they already all have various different computers!
