6. HP-10B Plus (business), HP-12C (financial; is still being manufactured (since 1981)) and HP-15C (advanced scientific)

I elaborate on these three calculator models in the same chapter because they are emulated by very similar, commercial emulators by Lygea Calculators. They are self-standing applications meaning you won't need to hunt for / download ROM images.

These emulators are as follows:

Pocket 10B SE Business Calculator 2.0; ($19.95) (WM6 VGA screenshot)

Pocket 12C SE Financial Calculator 1.61; $23.95 (WM6 VGA screenshot)

Pocket 15C SE Scientific Calculator 1.22; $20.95; WM6 VGA screenshot:

Using and the compatibility / features of these three emulators are pretty similar. For example, all of them support the Landscape orientation (example of the 10B emulator HERE) and use hi-res on VGA devices and, generally, look “cool”.

Note that all these emulators store their resolution-dependent resource DLL’s into \Windows, which isn’t the best news for users of some non-native WM5 models updated to WM5; for example, the HP iPAQ hx4700. Unfortunately, relocating these files to the app’s home directory won’t work (haven’t tested the same with relocating to another directory on the System Path - it might work).

Smartphone compliance-wise, the hacked (EXE + DLL’s in \Windows) version, unfortunately, doesn’t display the three bottom icons for going further (and clicking around won’t help either). That is, while you can enter the reg. number (with a cursor emulator like SPHelper), you just can’t go further. This means no (hackable) Smartphone compliance.

6.1 Pocket BizCalc by Odyssey Computing, Inc. 4.0.09

The 12C is also emulated by Pocket BizCalc by Odyssey Computing, Inc. It’s pretty OK and considerably cheaper ($14.95) (but much uglier, non-Landscape-compliant and not making advantage of hi-res resolutions) than the Lygea emulator.

Note that Michu’s Emupage only lists the H/PC and the Palm-size PC versions. You won’t want to get any of them: the H/PC version has major screen rendering problems (for example, the original LCD screen is invisible; see THIS and THIS if interested) and the latter is MIPS / SH3-only; that is, it won’t work on ARM devices, meaning any PPC2k2+ Pocket PC’s manufactured in the last 5-6 years.

Also see HPC:Factor’s review HERE if interested.

Smartphone compatbility-wise, after manually extracting and transferring the pbizcalc.exe file to the QVGA smartphone, it’s more or less usable. However, the right and the bottom side of the GUI will be hidden. This, unfortunately, means the multiply, addition, substraction, division and addition operations (along with some more advanced memory operations) won’t be available to “click” via a cursor emulator like SPHelper. (Screenshot HERE)
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
7. HP-10B II (Business; Wiki stub)

A similar (but definitely weaker – see below!) calculator, Moravia Advanced Financial Calculator 1.0 (direct Emupage download link; can’t be found on PenReader’s homepage any more), is available (but, given that PenReader doesn’t seem to support it any more, it’s rather dubious whether it’s worth paying for).

As can be seen, this calculator is definitely inferior to the original one – just compare the functionality it offers to that of the original (see the buttons in the screenshot above and those of the originals at the MyCalcDB page. It’s not a 10B emulator either (see the original page HERE).

Smartphone compliance-wise, if you extract the one and only EXE file from the original CAB file, it’ll run flawlessly on QVGA models in Portrait mode as can be seen in the following screenshot (just press the Action button when you’re shown the license agreement to get rid of it):

Unfortunately, you must use a cursor emulator even for inputting numbers – the numeric keys won’t work. And, of course, don’t expect compatibility with traditional 176*220 Smartphones either because of the skin size (screenshot).

8. What next?

This is the second instalment in my thorough article series on Windows Mobile calculators, the one on Texas Instruments calculators being the first. I'll soon publish the third instalment on native (non-emulator) Windows Mobile titles. Stay tuned :)

screen goes black randomly

This usually happens when I'm reading my Pocket app, the screen just randomly goes black. It's still responsive to touch though because i can still hear unlock screen sounds when i swipe my screen on places where i remember the positions of apps are. A reboot fixes it but it still happens when i read something on Pocket. Any ideas what the problem most likely is? I did a clean install of the rom but problem persists.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2943498:
That's a big problem with CM 12.1 on mako and v500 ATM. The reason is unclear. Since FlexOS is based on CM 12.1 it has the same problem.

Has become my daily driver

Loving this rom, it has as the title say become my daily driver.

For folks suffering with the blank screen, I had tried all the various "solutions" to no avail. After further reading it appears this is a kernel bug introduced by CM 12.1. Luckily this rom (and probably many others) works perfectly well with a pre CM 12.1 kernel. I'm using RedKernel V 15 with no apparent issues. Spread the word :D
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Igor_Oliveira:
Images

I tested it and it's fluid, but the camera this "strange" because it does not use the entire screen and the image of bootlogo also doesn't take up the entire screen (but initialization is amazing! very fast!!)

And when you don't have any recent apps appears the logo of rom, found it ugly.

Do I have to flash SuperSU in order to have root on this ROM? Or does it offer built-in root access?
[General Questions and Answers] Aramir:
Hello,

I've got a wiko cink slim B (a french micromax clone).

And I can't get the camera to work with ROMS (others than the stock ROM of course). Whenever I try to use the camera, I got this message "Can't connect to Camera". I tried different applications, but non worked out.

I already did some minor development for Android system, but I need your advice/help on this guys.

What directions should I be looking by to make the camera works ? Can I get a more useful error message (using adb relative stuff) ?

I'm currently running on a MiUi rom, will I have to download and recompile the whole system? If yes, where can I get the source code? Will I need the kernel too, because the kernel provided by my phone company seems to be corrupted. I can't extract it... Maybe I'm doing it wrong, here's where I pick the kernel archive http://wikogeek.com/ . Can someone else try to download the kernel (for the Wiko Cink Slim) and extract it please ?

Well that's a lot of questions .... I'm not hoping to get responses for all of it. But at least, anything related to my problem would be nice.

Thanks for reading.

Hey!

Today i would ask you if there any hope, that the Andorid 5.x is coming on my Note 3 in Germany.

Some Users will become the Update, but not my device.

I have the N9005XXUGNG1 and untily today no update to Android 5.

Some users from other countrys have the update and some who use a Vodafon-Branding.

Is it possible that the update coming soon or shout i root my device and update manually?

I'm a noobin this scene, therefore I do not want to lose my warranty or increase the Flashcounter with the root.

I ask the Samsung-Support, but they can't say a releasedate.

Now I'm sad :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Release date as per Samsung they know we dont .

Unbranded firmware there is an opinion that its waiting for the next Google Android update .

Root has nothing at all to do with manually updating and is not required see Sammobile .

Root will void warranty .

Last night I installed a alpha version of xposed onto my phone, it was working fine and modules were working fine up to when I installed xprivacy. It put my phone into a bootloop. After restoring to an earlier version of cyanogenmod, it takes considerably longer to start up and it takes a long time for the network to start. The WiFi says its turning on but it has not for the past 12 hours. Bluetooth works fine and so does mobile data but WiFi never turns on. What I have noticed is when I turn my phone on the baseband version is unknown, and then after a while it returns to normal. Does anyone know how to fix it? I'm currently running cyanogenmod nightly 05/07 but even changed the version nothing happens. Cheers

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smiffy67:
Hi guys new member pestering for help here. I've lurked anonymously for a few years getting valuable info re: phone stuff & even managed a ROM upgrade on a crappy old htc following threads here. . this is my goto forum for anything phone related & has been of great help many times. Huge thanks for that!

However, I've come across a problem on my Galaxy S4 that I can't find info about anywhere, so have decided to bite the bullet & register.

Keeping it as brief as possible, my GTi9505 Galaxy phone registered to Virgin Mobile developed what I believe is a fault shortly after an (official) OTA firmware update. Where previously mobile data (not WiFi) was very fast & the 'H' symbol was more or less constant, after the update bandwidth dropped dramatically (as slow as gprs) & only the 'E' symbol lit.

After several very long phone phone calls to Virgin technical department, they eventually fobbed me of by suggesting that the network towers local to my location were being downgraded. . :ahemB$!: They couldn't however explain why my sim in my girlfriends S4 mini was getting 3g from the same location. So, I stopped paying the bill & was cut off.

I decided to try an EE payg 4g sim in the phone & surprisingly, it works fine apart from the same bandwidth limitation. . still locked to 'Edge' regardless of location. WiFi into home router is fast & works normally. ??

I know how to get into service mode & move around so if anyone has any suggestions of settings that I might be able to check/tweak I'd be extremely grateful.

Hope one of you fine people can help :cool:

Update: I got so p*ssed off trying to figure out how to fix this issue that I installed CyanogenMod 10 which works fine but still showing 'Edge' icon on mobile data in spite of changing connection settings. I expected something as radical as flashing a new OS would solve the problem but it hasn't.

Kind of weird, maybe it's a hardware issue or some part of the underlying firmware that isn't affected by the OS??

Edit to add: opened up the phone & checked antenna contacts & plugs. All seem to be good.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Hmm... Let me think.

Have you tried flashing another software? Since the problem started after the OTA update maybe it should be fixed with a ROM flash?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smiffy67:
Well as I said I've flashed it with Cyanogenmod, I've tried different modems via Odin, checked the hardware (physically replaced LTE antenna/charge port this morning) have even resorted to playing with EFS Professional! I guess I could try to replace the co-axial wire that connects the antenna to the mainboard but realistically, that probably isn't going to fix it.

BTW.. IMEI is valid (matches label) so I don't think thats corrupted or missing but the root\efs folder is empty. Is that normal?

To be honest I'm not really into this phone stuff, I just want my phone to work properly when I need it to & make a few tweaks sometimes. I updated the software as instructed & now the phone doesn't work properly. The only thing I've done wrong, if anything, is refuse to pay for a phone that stopped working after a legitimate update from Samsung. I read somewhere that it's possible that the mainboard can be damaged when upgrading the firmware, that seems crazy to me.

I think I'll just give this up as a bad idea & go get an S5. I don't need the hassle. :(

Any way to change model id with regestry hack? Maybe the same hack that allowed non-Lumia devices to install wp 10 technical preview?
[HTC One M8 for Windows] HD2Owner:
that is not the same. it would have no effect in this case.

modelID is checked by bootloader before flashing. it aborts at 1% with error.

what you want is a signaturecheck/mid/cid unlocked bootloader. and you're not alone.

even if you reverse-engineer the bootloader and patch it, you need a way to get it on the device.

both things are incredibly difficult with wp8 nowadays because of the security measurements.

the previous work i did on wm/wp7 custom roms is not possible for wp8 until that happens.
