[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
I agree that the Hero roms are stable enough for daily use provided that you make certain adjustments, but in regards to the LED and bluetooth I don't think they will be perfect for a long time. The LED will hopefully come soon since Twisted reported getting them to work. But I don't understand why we don't have fully working LED's like that was announce last week. Perhaps it was an accidental fix that couldn't be recreated? Perhaps it was a fluke? Who knows. What I do know is that the LED's still need work even after it was reported to have a fix. As for bluetooth... as far as I know and read it could only be initialized by manual command lines and not from the settings app. Even IF there is a fix... will it be full bluetooth (A2DP) or just enough to pair and use a headset?

The fact that the BT and LED's for Hero builds tend to work with MT3G and not the G1 tells me that it's hardware related and not so much in code or scripts. So if fixes to the LED and BT are developed and perfected then how will the MT3G work after flashed a ROM with these patches included? Will they conflict? Will we need different ROMs for different phones? I'm not trying to be negative or pessimistic but I'm just not seeing full fixes for these issues to be ready, available and implemented this week or next. Maybe in a month or two... but that's as far as my optimisism takes me. But I hope that I'm wrong.

Why is Blackstone (HTC Touch HD) more expensive than Topaz (HTC Touch Diamond2) - the latter being a much newer model? The only differences I noticed is that Topaz has smaller screen (but same resolution) and smaller capacity battery. In general which device would you prefer Blackstone or Topaz and why? I'm leaning towards buying Topaz as it's newer, smaller, lighter AND cheaper, but maybe I'm missing something about Blackstone? Thank you for your comments!
[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
Not only does the Touch HD have a MUCH larger screen and a larger battery. But it also has a dedicated headphone jack. It's also a big thinner (check at phonearena). HD has a louder speaker (I think).

I think the devices have same pricing. But I also think Touch HD is a much better choice.

Regarding to the sound quallity, I need SRS WOW HD for my diamond more than air now.

I tried installing the SRS_WOW_121,but it didn't work no matter which rom I used,it made sounds,but ,the volume could not be adjusted,even when I use silent mode,it still made a maximum sound.

And I also tried tuning the Audio Booster,but the sound was not so good,and it would made your ears tired easily,when I turn it off,the sound of WMP is much better.But I need more bass and treble and more stereo effect if possible,because I'm using Sennheiser MX760 for music,I don't want to waste it,that why I need the SRS rom more than air now!!

Anyone can suggest one rom with the SRS WOW HD? I do really appreciated!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chinmay007:
i have used SRSWOW with almost all the ROM. the headfones which u r using have a 3.5 mm jack. It depends on the connector which you are using for the quality of the music. most of the connectors / convertors for mini usb to 3.5mm jack, are not good. if not tried then use original HTC connector, and also try the original iPhone headfones. U will see the difference.

Hi

Finally my mini-s died :( so went for something without the sider (the sider died).

Just got an iMate 8502 Ultimate from expansys (uk) for £100. so far we're getting on ok.

But it came shipped with some odd 'Telstra Business' applications built in it. Has anyone experience with this phone and maybe tried generic flashing it? with some rom that some clever person has cooked up.

Go to the Imate website and download the WM 6.1 WWE ROM. It will get rid of most of the Telstra applications except for the image on boot up. I am sure you could remove that as well somehow if you really wanted but at least the applications would be history. The 6.1 ROM is much more stable, I have installed about 20 apps and not once have I needed to reboot due to lock up.

There are other advantages to 6.1 such as SHDC support, I have a 16 GB micro SD card installed and it works ok.

Good afternoon, folks

I was relatively happy with my i-mate ultimate 8502 till I dropped it and the display broke.

As I'm against buying new stuff if you can at a reasonable price fix something, I'm asking if anybody is willing to sell almost altrusistically a display or even the whole phone? We could do it through the normal channels (paypal, google, ebay,whatever). Or in person, I'me based in Spain.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vangrieg:
Well, I'm not sure what you mean by "light" but I use my own remake of panosha's Black Pearl in which EzInput and Opera are installed as cabs and therefore can be easily removed. Most OEM programs are removed at all (I prefer to install software so that I can upgrade or replace it without reflashing the whole ROM).

So if you are interested I can share it providing panosha doesn't mind. The problem is that I have no idea what he would think about making modifications of his work public.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Hello and welcome :)

There is indeed a superb dummies guide written by Digital Outcast here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505377

You will need a rom with TF3D 2.5. Take a look in the rom section and decide for yourself which one to go for based on what people have said in the threads. Bare in mind you can always flash another rom if you don't like it anyway...

At the time of writing Miri's Rev7.1 and Dutty's Leo R2 are the only roms with the very latest TF3D 2.5 (sometimes referred to as 2.6 as it has a weather panel and animated weather on the home screen).

Good luck!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] vijaydesor:
Hi,

Have come across a problem with HTC's calculation on the Touch Diamond 2 in connection with percentages.

e.g. 100 + 10% = 110 .... and this is how most ifnot all calculators work out this calculation.

However, on TD2, 100 + 10% = 100.10 :confused:

Is there a awy to fix this issue or do I need to install a third party calculator that does what it's supposed to.

And before you all jump in to say that I can overcome this issue by calculating the solution by changing the problem to 100 x 1.1 ..... that is not the point ;)

Thanks for any help or suggestions
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prdic:
and another way is 100+100*10%=110 :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] vijaydesor:
Thank you :) .... but still doesn't solve the issue.

Might call HTC on Monday - but doubt they'll do anything about it - seems peculiar that in this day and age, you can't rely on a calculator to solve simple and basic calculations without a hitch :eek:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] fisha21:
Hmm, thought I'd test this out on my d2. Turns out my HTC Calculator doesn't even have a percentage button! Oh well...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prdic:
percentage buton is in landscape mode only
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] creutzwald1105:
The calculator refers to "100%=1", so you have to type "100+100*10%=110" or "100*110%=110".

edit: @prdic: sorry overlooked your post.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] keatac:
1% = 1/100 = 0.01

10% = 10/100 = 0.1

100 + 10% = 100.1, is correct.

i belieave what u want is

10% = 0.1, so

100 * 1.1 = 110

just check, My D2 calculator and windows calculator don't have % button also...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] vijaydesor:
I appreciate all your input guys ... but if you get yourselves an ordinary calculator and key in 100 + 10% ..... you will get 110. Now either almost every caculator in the world is wrong but the D2 is coming up with a different solution from every other calc I have used in my life :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tinker2000:
It all actually depends on how your calculator works

Some do 100 +10 % =110 (Casio general)

others, 100 x 10% + = 110 (Casio financial)

I personally dont understand why the htc calculator does what it does, it absolutely useless how it works
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] creutzwald1105:
I typed "100+10%" into my Casio fx-85ES and I'll get "100.1".

Maybe its diferent how the % works in Europe / Asia / America.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prabhat:
Not sure how many of you all have observed... but TD2 calculator doe snot have %.

So if you do calculation 100 + 10 % (the devide symbol, that work like %, the 4th butyonm of first row) you will get 110. Do a test...

100

then +

then 10

the % (devide or %)

you will get 110.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Svennebannan:
first, try the calculator in landscape and you will find %.

second, try 200+50"devide symbol" (as %).. it gives 250, is that right? :confused:

:p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HandySpanner:
Er.. that only appears to work because your starting number is 100 - ie the same as 100%. So 10% of 100 is 10. 20% is 20 etc.. As someone else pointed out, if you change the first number, like to 250 so that 10% is now 25, then it all goes wrong.

Personally, I've always worked out percentages by multiplying by 1.n, where n is the % that you want to add on. So 100 * 1.10 is 110.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tinker2000:
It really does depend on your calculator,.....the FX85ES is scientific.

Out of curiosity what does 100 x 10% give?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] satirik:
why the **** would you need a % key ... you want to get 100 + 10 = 110 then type 100+10 ... if you want to use % number go to school and learn to multiply
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prabhat:
Yes you are right.... I never tried with landscape yet :(.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prabhat:
Yes True.

Thanks...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] JRK-Scope:
The FX Casios are scientific calculators so you have to write EVERYTHING in the top bar right? I am used to the scientific calculator interface anyway. The % thing makes more sense the HTC way I'd say.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] creutzwald1105:
@JRK-Scope: Many of the new Casio FX have a "natural display" and you can type the calculation like you would write it on paper (e.g.fraction bars, radical sign, ...)

On my fx-85ES I get "100.1"

I think it's logical because 100% is 1 and 10% is 0.1. if you want 110% of 100 you have to type 100*110%.

(Please correct me if the mathematical words are incorrect. :rolleyes:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bantimus:
It's treating it as a decimal. 10% = .1 :: 25% = .25

While you're right in that the calculator doesn't do all the math for you, it's really not TOO hard to just add a couple numbers in there, or change the function.

100 + 10% = 100 + 1000% = 110

100 + 25% = 100 + 2500% = 125

100 + 10% = 100 x 1.1 = 110

100 + 25% = 100 x 1.25 = 125

100 - 10% = 100 x .9 = 90

100 - 25% = 100 x .75 = 75

Essentially the calculator is treating the "percentage" as a "value over 100", rather than how you would expect it to work. Awkward? If you're used to "+10%" then yes. I've always used "x1.1", which makes far more sense.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Ouzo:
I think vijaydesor has a point, and I'm glad he raised it; it really bugs me that the % button doesn't work like I'm used to...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jumpdawg:
So. what is 55+25% ? On my desktop, laptop and old Razr phone it is 68.75

On the useless HTC calc, it is 55.25. If I buy something for 20% discount, I want to know what it is with the 20% off. An example would be something such as $694 - 20%, which is $555.20 and not $693.80.

So, the bottom line is if you want to carry around a HTC phone instead of a Samsung, Moto or any other phone, you also need to carry a cheap little calculator in your pocket. LoL !!!

I don't know where you are from but that is how it works here. Always has.

Crazy HTC.... LOL !!!

LoL, this is an item the Chinese people did improve in the Diamniond2 Clones, mine is giving the good result: 200euro -35% = 130 euro for the clone :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] aybarrap1:
I have to agree that this is a weird quirk. What is the point of putting the % key if it is not going to work in an equation such as 68 + 10% = 74.8. When you punch in the % key after the second number (10) it should assume that you are taking 10% of the first number (6.8) and adding it to it. What is the point if I have to assume 10% means 0.1 and have to do my equation long form (68 +(68*10%) or 68+(68*0.1)). It defeats the purpose of even having the key if it assumes the decimal equivalent.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] henryher:
My question is, so what? Why do you want to add 100 + 10% anyway. If you are trying to figure out what 100% + 10% is and you need a calculator for that you have bigger problems than htc and its calculator.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] werdna72:
...and you think that is a helpful response, and worthy of your first post?

I can't believe you really thought the problem being debated was actually about a simple sum given as an example!

Please, think before cluttering the threads with unhelpful postings. Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] MoshPuiu:
It is simple, on a problem like that:

X + Y% = ?

some computers do in fact: X+Y%*X others do X+Y%*1.

For some calculators, when you add a percentage to a number, you have to specify a percentage from WHAT number; if you don't specify what number is referring, it is 1.

Other calculators takes first number, calculates percentage and add it to first number.

Powerful(scientific) calculators give always an answer like 100+10%=100.1 because you must specify 10% from what number else is like 100+10%*1=100.1

I hope I was clear enough...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Wirklich-Avatar:
Just long press Menu, and you will see keyboard. Switch on digital and USE percent symbol as many as you want.

Ive got a few question about my new htc hero so here they are.

1: What apps use internet in the background and does the weather widjet use internet.

2: Do you think 500mb is enough to download lots of apps and surf the web or should i be careful.

3: And if these apps use internet in the background is there a way to turn it off so it only connects to wifi.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenoPhoenix:
Most of the default apps use background internet, email, stocks, weather etc,

Currently I am on 500mb so far but since im at home a lot of the time I mainly use wifi so I'm probably not the best person to answer this question.

If you disable the Mobile Network option, either from the end call menu or the HTC widget, this will stop all data traffic on your phone but you can still use SMS and make and recieve calls. Therefore if you leave wifi enabled and this disabled, they should only use wifi.
