Very Strange Calculation! - Motorola Photon 4G

Using the stock Android calculator, if I enter 0.87 - 0.58, the answer is obviously 0.29. However, if I enter x.87 - x.58 where "x" is any number greater than "7", the answer I get is 0.2899999.
What's up with that?
Btw, I'm running the 2.3.5. Hybrid ROM in case that makes a difference.

You just made me play with my calculator for five minutes. Well played.

Ha! Getting laid has never been a problem. LoL
I just stumbled upon this calculation error.

I'm running stock 2.3.5 and always get .29.
e.g. 8.87 - 8.58 = 0.29
40,000.87 - 40,000.58 = 0.29
tried about 5 other integer portions (both small and large), all same result.
Assuming you're not just joking, there is something wrong with your ROM.

No, I am not joking. Maybe this issue was fixed in 2.3.5?
The plot thickens as I get 0.2899999 for 8.87-8.87 but I get 0.2900000 for 40,000.87-40,000.58.

FWIW, my wife's EVO 3D with 2.3.4 also always reports .29.
I still suspect your ROM.

It won't work unless you flash one of the froyo roms on here. Just like Flash, the new Gmail, Adobe Air, etc., it's only available for 2.2
has that been confirmed, or is that an assumption? some of the "2.2-only" apps have worked just fine on 2.1, while others do not.

Yeah, so what's the big deal about 2.2 then?
I see so many people just saying to wait and give Samsung all the time they need to complete it.
But, Samsung is 2-3 months and counting behind HTC and Motorola for delivering 2.2. It's really getting to the point where it's not acceptable. How did they fall so far behind with a phone that's shipped 5 million units?!

Ok, I may be barking at the wind here but, is there a way to flash the required components thru fast boot commands (I am not sure if this can be done on the Flyer like it can on the Dell Streak 5) where you would use fast boot commands to flash the individual extracted components, base rom, recovery, radio, etc similar to adb. (since there is currently no proper method for US BB WiFi Flyers to revert to GB)

Has Verizon or Moto replaced your phone?

I have had many lengthy discussions over the last few weeks with verizon customer support. My intent has been to have them swap my ICS upgraded razr maxx for an non upgraded one. I have not had any luck.
Have you? What tactics/facts supported your needs for the swap? The phone is non functional for my needs now, but verizon wont seem to agree with me.

People need to realize that with you cannot go back to GB from ICS IF you updated your phone with an ICS version >= .8x. Once you have flashed that, you are forever on ICS. This is due to a new bootloader being put onto the RAZR. There is no going back to GB once you've update to ICS version .8x or greater.
Go to one of those used cell shops, they can do it usually, it's how they fix bricked phones, they usually have the Dev software required to do it

Having to use a widget to switch to 3g after every reboot with only 3 clicks is far from locking onto a particular data connection.
By the sounds of it you purchased your phone with the ics upgrade on it (being you've never used the gingerbread keyboard), so you really wouldn't understand how wonderful this phone use to be.

First, I've owned the phone since it was released.
Second, If clicking a widget and finding a better alternative to the mediocre stock keyboard is too much trouble to you, then I realize trying to help you is fruitless. Good luck in your quest to get Verizon to give you a new phone because you want the Gingerbread keyboard back, can't figure out how to get Flash working, and don't want to use a widget to disable 4G.

First: You expect me to believe you have no experience with the RAZR GB keyboard if you've owned it since its release?
Second: Are you truly claiming that you have the ability to stream embedded flash videos, off of websites, with your DROID RAZR on the stock Verizon ICS release? If so, you have one unique RAZR, as you'd be the only one with the ability to do so.. Adobe Flash streams do not work on our phone with the update... visit the Google Play store and read the RAZR comments on Adobe... It's broken.
Third: If you are the type of consumer that is comfortable with needing to adapt and use alternative methods to use your purchased products as they are intended and advertised, then you are of a unique breed.
I appreciate and expect merchandise to operate as advertised.. I like the items I purchase to remain fully functional.
I haven't even mentioned the issues with the battery, but I'm sure you'd disagree there is anything wrong with cutting down the life of a battery by 40%.. Got an app for that?
Now you battery doesn't work either. ....Keep going. You're almost up to a legitimate reason for a new phone.

Did I say it didn't work? Or did I say it wasn't working as it was before the update?
He probably likes alternative keyboards so wouldn't touch stock, i hate swipe and like the stock ics keyboard.
My friend uses better kb or w/e, there are a few ppl that claim to have flash working on some websites.
And on stock ics my phone chewed through battery.
So root it and use a different cpu governor which will fix it. Custom roms will eventually (they might already) have a 3/4g toggle.
Motorola's ics updates are mostly fine, you should have read the problems ppl were having.
So you can't complain
Nothing isn't perfect, and i wouldn't expect stock to be as good as this, if flash worked fine, this would be one of the few phones i'd recommend to anyone AND it will not require they come see me to "set there phone up"

Curious about this as well. Most people have a hunch it's a radio firmware update, so if anyone sees improved signal/call quality I'd be very interested to know.
User Harold Goldner on Droid-Life had an interesting point.
If you are one of the more than 95% who run stock, it can't hurt. It's too small to be bloatware. My guess is it's an hboot update and a radio fix (and that's purely speculative). The Official ICS update was v. 3.14.605.12 so this is a tiny increment. The Global leak radio/firmware was 2.22.10.0801r, 12.22.10.0803r, so this radio firmware version number is actually lower. For those of us running S-OFF, custom ROMs and the global leaked firmware, probably nothing of interest here. Certainly not worth RUUing back to stock to "check it out."

Huh, never really noticed those things but I haven't been stock in a long time. My wife's Rezound is stock other than I updated her's to the global RUU and haven't had those troubles with her's either.
HTC, to the best of my knowledge, didn't upgrade any of their phones with an S3 processor to Sense 4+. Having run Sense 4 ROMs, and those are almost always full of tweaks, I can't really say that any improvements were a result of the higher version or the tweaks baked in. In either case, I guess I prefer the overall look and feel of 3.6 and always end up back on Ineff Deus.
To each his own.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
That's what I use too. All 7 of the rezound I've had have all done the same things. Stock or not.
I'd be willing to bet, considering their recent deal with Apple and the fact that the DInc2 is also getting a minor update, that it's going to be the removal of the app preferences garbage and maybe some small bug fixes.

Got the update. Nothing big to note so far. It did cause HTC Sense to become the default launcher again over ADW. It also seemed to break scrolling wallpapers in adw? Had a large wallpaper and adw would slowly scroll through it as I changed screens. Now no matter what I do, it is 1 screen size worth and just black space after it. So as I scroll through screens I get more and more black background. odd.
Does anyone have the real details of what this patch was supposed to do, fix, or prepare for?
