When I bought the TD2, I liked a lot the fancy calculator it includes: Its nice design was a nice upgrade from the cheap-looking WM one.
However, I soon realized that it missed one important function: The percent (%). It lacks many other useful functions of course (just like the WM one does), but the % function is a must-have in my opinion.
It is a pity that due to this problem I will have to switch to the miserable WM calculator again... Does anybody know of a way to add the % functionality in the TF3D calc? Otherwise, any other nice touch calculator that you might suggest, that has all the essential stuff without being overkill (and over-size in MBs)?
I never understood why anyone would use the percent button?!..if you can just type x.yz (z.B. 0.42 for 42%) instead?
So they removed it to save space, i guess.
It is very fast and useful when you want to add and subtract percentage. Otherwise, you have to do the all the math...
E.g. if you want to subtract 27.55% from 5,340 you have to do:
Step 1: 5,340 X 0.2755 = 1,471.17
Step 2: 5,340 - 1,471.17 = 3,868.83
...instead of just typing 5,340 - 27.55% and getting the same result...
Believe me, if you need to do many percentage calculations, this is much, much more convenient.

um, what?

1-.2755=x5340=
13 characters only. I am not sure a % button would have saved you any effort there. ok, the landscapr view is good

Agreed, you can do it with 13 characters... But since you are meticulous, let me point out that the % way is still shorter as it is 12 characters (5340-27.55%=)...!
Anyway, the essence in this thread is flomet's contribution regarding the advanced landscape mode. Well done, mate!
As with a lot of such questions on this forum...

Well, great deal with turning, didn't know that.
BUT: 200+10%= 200.10 ????
How do I calculate to add 10% to a number???
When you use the percentage function in any calculator, it works like this:
X <operator> Y% = X <operator> (X*Y%),
where <operator> xan be + or -.
In simple words when you type 30 + 10% it means 30 + (30 * 10%) = 30 + 3 = 33. Another example could be 1000 - 20% which is 1000 - (1000 * 20%) = 800.
And so on...

So far for the theory.
I'd be glad if this worked on my TD2. It does not. When I press 200 + 10% the TD2 calculates 200.10!
(And 200 * 10% + doesn't work either)
So how do I use the %-button on the TD2?

WTF??? You are absolutely right after all... The TF3D calc actually does NOT support adding and subtracting percentages... I just tried it myself.
Therefore, the only solutions are (a) to use decimals (e.g. instead of +10% use * 1.1), or (b) use the parentheses that are also provided in the calc.

You can install 1CalcLite.
This freeware includes a working %key.

i am using an o2 xda2s and when i use the default calculater .i want to achieve this " suppose if i multiply 200 by 2% i get this figure that is 4 but now what i would like to do is when i multiply 200 by 2% and hit + and then = i should get 204 which i dont get on the screen i guess this default calc...... cant do this .so what are ur sugesstions
silly question.....dumb answer.....
you want to add 2% to 100 ??? that's simple...just multiply 100*1,02
you want to add 15,34% to 57 ??? simpler....just multiply 57*1,1534
duhhhh!!!!

The default is correct, it is 4 if you want 204 then it is 200+2%. Try it you will get 204 without having to hit equal.
Hi, I recently purchased HD2 and found one interesting thing with calculator. First - it das not have percent button in portrait mode. Second in landscape mode it does have it but if you do 100-20% you get answer 99.8. Is there some other calculator which would solve these two problems on HD2?

maybe you should try 100%-20%, as 20% is 0.2
This was discussed some weeks ago. The HTC calculator acts like Excel and the Google search bar in treating the % function as an immediate "divide by 100" button whereas most actual calculators (and faithful emulators) treat the % function as "divide by 100 then multiply that result by the previously-entered number." Effectively, the calculators imply "of the previous number" when using the % key.
Let's look at your question again using 150 as the first number:
So, 150 - 20% to HTC, Excel, and Google is 150 - (20/100) = 149.8
While 150 - 20% to a calculator is (150 - (20/100 * 150) = 120

Oooooooooh, now I understand : ) Thanks for clarifying that. I've been using Power Calc from the Omnia 2. I can't get it to auto rotate, but it has a button to switch between portrait and landscape so it is no biggie. Best of all, the percentage button is present in portrait and scientific views, and it functions like a normal calculator. there's a cab file somewhere on XDA if you search. If I can find it I'll post a link in due course.
Okay, I can't find Power Calc on XDA because I'm useless at searching, but there's a link to a cab file here: www.modaco.com/content/i8000-omnia-ii-gsm-rom-discussion/298414/cabs-repository/
Thanks for explanation and link. will try that after work.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.scurvypig.barbellLoader
v1.1
Added a 15 lbs disc.
By request, added the one repetition max (1RM) calculator.
Moved the "Settings" button to the action bar.
Minor bug fixes.
v1.2
Complete redesign and rewrite for improved performance and features.
Optional paid version with additional features and no ads.
v1.4
Added a Journal (Barbell Loader Pro).
--------
v1.3
Updated to ActionBarSherlock 4.0.1
Corrected an error when changing screen orientation.
Anyone who leg presses on a regular basis (like me) will love this app! I'm regularly guessing what weight in using. Being able to calculate my 1rm on the fly helps a ton if I decide I want to max out that day.
Not sure if it was in the OP, but can I convert kg to lbs?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Yes you can. You can enter a weight to be calculated in kg or lbs, and it'll return the result in whatever mode (kg, lbs, or mixed) you happen to be in.
Changing the mode means restricting the available discs that will be used for calculations. Additionally, you can set whether discs are ever available under preferences. For example, my gym lacks 55 lbs and 15 lbs plates, so I turn those off. The same goes for some of the change kg plates.

That toggle with certainly help when inputting the plates I used that workout.

Love the idea, but I bought the pro version, locked the plates I don't have access to , then entered 135lbs which including the 45lbs bar should be 2 45lbs plates, it will not give me this no matter what I do.. It keeps changing my weight to 131.5 lbs and gives me for plates, no 45lbs, 2x25lbs, 2x10lbs and 2x5lbs... I tried changing the barbell weight to 45lbs as well and it wouldn't stick. I'll wait until this gets sorted out before buying and before recommending it.
EDIT ****Never mind, Sorted it out after seeing the preferences, turns out I was not in the right section when changing the barbell weight******
Really? I just did what you suggested in "Mixed" mode. I disabled the collars and locked the "25 kg" and "55 lbs" discs, calculated for 135 lbs, and received the exact value ("61.29 kg / 135 lbs").
Did you change the default bar weight (in Preferences, wrench from the dashboard) to 45 lbs? Most people assume that the standard bar is 45 lbs, but it is really 20 kg / 44.09 lbs. If you use spring collars, I'd suggest changing the default bar weight to 45 lbs and just leaving collars turned off.
If you'd like, I can make a video demonstrating what I did. Let me know.

Thanks but as my edit states on my post now it's all sorted. I didn't see the preferences. I have recommended the app on my gym website
Great! I expect to see a number of 15 minute cancellations (developer's joke). Let me know if you'd like to see any changes or additional features.
EDIT: Wow, it looks like it isn't a joke. Three 15-minute cancellations, that's 50% of the users haha
Love the app so far. I lift using kilo bumper plates at home, but sometimes I end up at the gym which has lb plates. Makes converting a cinch.
My only suggestion would be to allow the user to select a stand Olympic bar (45lb/20kg) as the bar. I guess you can just add on another 20kg plate if you want to act as the "bar", but it would still be nice.
You can! From the main dashboard screen, select the wrench at the top right (Holo's icon for preferences). From within there you can disable discs, change the barbell and collar weights, and more.
realy good idea actually . gettin gain of 5 lbs+ every month , realizing plateaus have been reached and switching up your routine to overcome are a must .
where is the 1.5 and 2.5 plates though
They exist! Click the wrench from the main screen (that's the preference icon for ICS), scroll to the bottom. There's 1.25 lbs, 2.5 lbs, 5 lbs, 0.25 kg, 0.5 kg, 1 kg, 1.25 kg, 1.5 kg, and 2 kg change discs.

Calculator
Calculator is focused on extending the traditional 4 function calculator, keeping its simplicity while still adding features used in higher level math. It uses the original Android calculator as a base.
The project was started by me in June 2012 and by October 2012 it was accepted into CyanogenMod. Since then, users of the app have helped greatly in cleaning up the ui, improving the matrix features, and translating the app into all the languages currently available. Without them, this app would be nowhere near as polished as it's become.
Because the app is intended as a full replacement, it's recommended that you hide your default calculator by either disabling it (v4.1+) or using a custom launcher. Otherwise, the similar app names may prove confusing.
Calculator has the following features and more:
-Basic arithmetic
-Trigonometry
-Complex numbers
-Graphs for X,Y functions
-Matrices
-Hexadecimal and Binary support
-Widget for lockscreen and launcher
-History of previous calculations
-Themeing support
The app is completely open source and the source can be downloaded at: https://github.com/Xlythe/android_packages_apps_Calculator/tree/ics
Note: The pictures below are old and from the beta test. Check out the market link for more current pictures.

This totally made me LOL. Thanks for starting work on this. It's about time someone improve upon the stock calculator (which is just an embarrassment in its stock state for a utility on a smartphone of all things).
I'll keep a watch out for this
wow. looks promising so far, cant wait to see where this app goes
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.........u literally saved me from carrying my Clucky TI-84 calculator
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
Seems to work (only tested the Stock Functions)
One thing that dont work:
on Stock Google Calculator youre able to drop down the Panel to see your last functions you did .
(sry english isnt my main language so its kinda hard to explain what i mean exacly)
If you dont know what i mean, ill try to send you some screens tomorrow
I think I know what you mean, but some pictures would be very helpful. [: If I broke it, I can fix it this weekend.
To Everyone:
Which is less confusing? Having an X and a Y key or having an X and a Y= key?
hi nice looking app, however is it possible to show the last few calcuations (history mode)? looking for something simliar to the default windows 7 calculator.
That's what blutlust is asking about too [: I think I may have broken it because I remember it being there before. I'll try to fix it tomorrow or Saturday.
ill send you the screens in a message because i didnt post enough to implent them in this post.
to your question about the x - y key :
if the button give you the solution of the equalation, then x = would be better
You meant like that? I don't remember that in the CM9 app. Is that someone elses mod?
Either way, I can add it to this one too now that I know what it looks like.
-------------
About the Y, Y= thing. Actually, I'll ask this. How many of you couldn't figure out how to graph?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yeah i meant like this, i posted on the Screens.
This is the Stock Calculator on Samsung Galaxy S 2 , just the color are modified to fit the ICS Theme
About the Graphs, they arent necessary for me at work, but functions like sin,cos,hex,bin,dez are important.
1.1's been released. It's almost entirely focused on matrices.
Change Log:
-Cross and dot product
-Matrices scroll downwards instead of left and right
-Spacing added between panels in Tablet mode
-Small tweaks to the matrix popup
I'll focus on a pull-down for history next. And blutlust, you want buttons to turn the answer into Hexadecimal or Binary?
Edit:
Does anyone know of an open source project for pull-downs like the notification bar? Or an app that uses them?
Yeah, this Buttons would be Nice for Sure
(only if you want to do this)
I dont remember any Opensource Project with this dropdown menü, but if it helps, ill send you my Calculator Apk, so you can take a look.
Sure, that'd be great. It would let me play with it and see how its done. [:
I added logic for turning the answer into Hex and Bin so it'll be in the next release.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Ill send you a PM with download Link for Calculator.
One more Suggestion/Tipp :
Is it only possible to show the answer in bin & hex or is it possible to calculate in bin & hex
For example : 0001+000e =000f or
0000 0010 + 0000 0001 + 0000 0001 = 0000 0100
Thx btw for Hex and Bin implementation
Alright, I'll have to add a toggle: Hex, Bin, Dec, as well as A, B, C, D, E, and F buttons. Otherwise I won't know if 10+10 equals 20 or 100.
The apk won't install on my Nexus 7 so I'm going to see if I can't flash it in recovery.

Hopefully Samsung didnt play around on this apk for the Calculator
Thats the only i thing why i think, the apk wont install on your Nexus.
If the Trick with flashing dont work, i dont know any other Calculator who support/got a Drop-Down History :|
Gah, I've been silent for a while, sorry. I found a few bugs in my Hex app and felt obligated to fix them. So that and work have been eating up my time. The ETA for the next update will probably be Sunday or Monday since birthdays are lazy days and mine's tomorrow.
The plan for the next release is:
New panel for containing A,B,C,D,E,F,Hex,Dec,Bin
The plan for the release after next is:
Settings page with option to turn off panels
History pulldown (I hope. Haven't figured out how to do this yet)
Thanks for the support and advice / feature requests are all welcome! (Doesn't mean I'll actually do it, but hey, definitely welcome!)
Then, have a nice Party tomorrow and take the time you need
Good things take time to work flawless :thumbup:
Alright, there's a page for Hexadecimals in the code. I at least got that far. I didn't finish the logic for switching into Hexadecimal or Binary though (it's maybe 50% complete). Ah well, ya'll get an update on Tuesday or Wednesday.
To make up for it, here are some pictures:
I was making some calculations and noticed that the % key does not work right. Try a simple calculation like 100 - 30% and the calculator returns 99.7 instead of 70. What does yours do? I've got a Verizon S7.
yes because 100 minus 30 percent is 100 minus 0.30...which is 99.7. that's not how you do percent calculations. you have to do 100 times 30 percent, take the answer, and do 100 minus that. I've never once in my life done a percentage calculation the way you're trying lol
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk
The thing is, with any other calculators, including the one from the S6, S5 and other manufacturers (even Google calculator, iPhone's, Windows), it calculates the % of the value before it, ie. 100 - 5% = 100 - (5% of 100) = 95. I know that mathematically, 100 - 5% = 99.95, but the purpose of the % was to make quick calculations (accounting, taxes, etc).
Maybe related to this? http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...led-no-longer-uses-floating-point-arithmetic/
Every other calculator I've used has done the 100 - 30% = 70, so that's why I questioned the S7 calculator. Google will give the same (70) answer if you type in the above problem.
Don't you mean 100 (%) -30% = 70%. You were just subtracting 70% from 100( not a hundred percent). Or a 100 what?
