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.
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?
Type....
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.

I’m just curious how many recourses dose HTC spend to make a **** out of simple calculator? Does any body know how to bring old WM calculator back?
You can install 1CalcLite.
This freeware includes a working %key.

But the calculator of td2 seems doesn't work in this way, or am I wrong?
No, it doesn't unfortunately.... Check some posts above, I have already mentioned it...
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.
I want the Calculator on the Samsung Galaxy S III. Can I get this App without having to Root, (and where). If Rooting is the only way, is there an App that has the Samsung Galaxy S III Calculator?
Currently, I have the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX, {XT912}; with Ice Cream Sandwich, (Android 4.0.4).
However, what I really liked about this Calculator was that I could be at Sam's Club and spot 48 AA Batteries on Sale for $14.97,and then Later be at Wal-Mart and see they were selling 40 AA Batteries for $11.97. Is this a Good Buy? I'd Check my Calculator History, and yep, the batteries at Wal-Mart are 0.29925 cents each and the Batteriest at Sam's Club were .311875 cents each. So the batteries at Wal-Mart are Cheaper per Battery, but less in Quanity.
I really like this Calculator, and I've tried and tried and tried to find a replacement for it on Play Store and I found one that is just about as good, (the History is not in Color like the Samsung Galaxy S III is). That one is the "Calculator Mem Pro".
Try "RealCalc Pro"
Works really well; outside of the typical functions it has a good unit converter, which I use frequently. You can also set the history to save up to the last 50 results.

I bought and have RealCalc Pro. It's nice and does most all that I'd Expect... However, the History was not in Color like the Samsung Galaxy S III's History. I have found a Great Calculator that I think Motorola will want to consider for their next Stock Calculator. It is called "Calculator Mem Pro", (the Calculator Mem, {not the Pro Version}, with Ads may show Porno Ads).
Calculator Mem Pro Rivals the Samsung Galaxy S III Stock Calculator, and Beats it by a Mile~! Includes the Plus / Minus Change Button, a Percent Button, Parentheses, Plus a History, Memory Plus / Minus, the Colors can be Changed, and as a Super Added Bonus it can also be a Widget~! The History can Copy either the Formula or the Results or Import to the Display, or Copy or Send to Email. Calculator Mem Pro is by far the Best Normal Accounting Calculator that I've found, with RDev Calculator being my 2nd Choice.
I found several other Calculators that were more Specific like Scientific Calculators, (like RealCalc Scientific Calculator / RealCalc Plus) that also had Plus / Minus Change Button, a Percent Button, Parentheses, Plus a History, Memory Plus / Minus, and even had a History, but they are pretty Complex, or Intimidating looking.
* * * * *
I went through about 25-35 Calculators, including...
CalcBuddy
calCOOLator
CalcRT, v.1.3
Calculations, (or Calculations 4.0 Pro)
Calculator 3, v.1.1
*Calculator Memory Pro, v.2.5.2
Calculator, (UtopicSoft)
*Calculator Calzo Free No Ads
*ClickCalc
Cool Calculator
Easy Calculator
handyCalc, v.0.53,
*MobiCalc, v.1.3.8, ~ Dark
My Basic Calculator,
My Calculator, (Stormin Dorman Productions)
Office Calculator Pro, v.3.1.0
*RDev Calculator
RealCalc Scientific Calculator
Seven+ WP7 Calculator,
ShakeCalc
Simple Calculator
StdCalc
*Total Calculator-Paid,
Twin Calculator
*RDev Calculator and Calculator Memory Pro are my Favorites so far, (they have Functionality and Color). RDev has a Built in FUNC Key, where the Default is x+15% , {This percentage can be changed}, Great for Tips, enter the amount and Press FUNC and it will Calculate how much to pay including the Original Cost).
Calculations, (or Calculations 4.0 Pro) has 5 Essential Functions: Advanced Calculator, Currency Converter, Measurement Converter, Mortgage Calculator, and Tip Calculator. Has a New way of selecting that resembles a Great Approach to a Smart Phone App, (rather than make a Calculator Clone App that resembles a Real Hand Held Calculator). However, it's method of Adding kept coming up with different answers than I expected, so it was unuseful to me.
CalcBuddy has the most Realistic Looking Graphic User Interface, (GUI), but it lacks the Plus/Minus Change Sign & the Percent Button, and a Separate Tape History would allow for bigger Text Size, and be more Readable.
My Calculator, (Stormin Dorman Productions) has no History Tape, no Parentheses, but has the Memory +/- Retention, {I sometimes can use the Memory to replace the Parentheses), but great Color GUI. Works Great also~! Nice Design.
Office Calculator Pro, v.3.1.0 really has potential. Very Reliable. Has a History Tape, no Parentheses, but has the Memory +/- Retention but just no Pizazz~!. The Colors are so Pastel, no 3-D Effects, like My Calculator, (Stormin Dorman Productions) or CalcBuddy has. If CalcBuddy & Office Calculator Pro could combine and add the Parentheses, and put some Color on the History Tape this would be a keeper, {or if My Calculator & Office Calculator Pro could combine and add the Parentheses, and put some Color on the History Tape, a great iPhone Clone Calculator would emerge}.
Total Calculator-Paid has the 2nd Best Color History, (Samsung Galaxy S's Stock Calculator is Number One in that Department); but I don't like the Color of the Skin of the Calculator, and you have to go to a 2nd Menu to Access it everytime. It should Combine with Calculator Mem Pro or RDEV Calculator to give us the best of all worlds.
Calculator Calzo Free No Ads is a real Competitor also, it's a new way of doing things, but you get several Screens that can Copy Back & Forth with One Another, (Eliminates the need for Parentheses, and there's no Equal Sign, See it for your self ~ Search for Google Play Store and find "Calculator Calzo Free No Ads").
ClickCalc works well, and has some Color, (looks like a Junior High School Calculator).
MobiCalc (Dark) could almost be my Favorite Calculator if it had some More Color in the Display, (the Expressions and Results and Operators). However, it works Great~!
I like the way RDev Calculator adds, 35 + 3.39 + .77 + 9.01% = 42.69., {Not 39.23}, and I like the Colors and the Haptic Feel, {but the History keeps Clearing when I Exit ~ I wrote them, they'll clear that up}. RDev Calculator could move up into my Number One Spot, bumping Calculator Memory Pro when they get the History Tape worked out, (it only Erases if you Exit, so, just never Exit between Stores. For Example, 48 AA Batteries are $18.48 at one store, but 16 AA's are on sale someplace else for $15.95. Which is a Better Deal, (with the History Tape, I can make that Determination Fast).
I also have to Press Equal after the Additional then Add in the Percent on Calculator Memory Pro to get the same Result, {such as
(35 + 3.39 + .77) = 39.16 + 9.01% = 42.69}. Although the Parentheses are not necessary, unless I was adding Two Different Expressions such as:
(14 x 4) + (14 x 4.5) = 119
Calculator Memory Pro is pretty Awesome, the Display could be Bigger, and sometimes typing aLeft Parentheses... "(" ... doesn't Clear the Previous Equation, {but I wrote them and I'll bet that they'll have that Corrected Soon also}. I just have to remember to press the Clear Button before I start. Typing anything other than the "(" clears the Previous Equation. Really this is my Favorite for right now.
If "My Basis Calculator" could just have a History and put the Percent and Plus/Minus Change Sign Button on the Portrait View this would be an Ideal Smart Phone Calc, as the Haptic Feel is just right; (and as a Bonus, I made my own Colors that I think that they're going to incorporate into their DownLoad).
I want the Key Pad of (Calculator Memory Pro / RDev Calculator) meets (CalcBuddy & My Calculator) and the Tape History of Total Calculator and the Accuracy of Office Calculator Pro. Is that too much to ask? Color My World. Build this Calculator~!
