Undocumented 1.1.1 Features

[woode]

OK, I stand corrected. MOST other calculators don't do it that way.

Maybe not: The real-life TI-89 on my desk says: 2+2*10 = 22. Real-life TI-36X on my brother's desk says: 2+2*10 = 22.

Timmyboy, the double-tap-shift to caps-lock option isn't new to 1.1.1. It's an option in Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Enable Caps Lock.

The automatic Shift in SMS and some Safari forms was also pre-1.1.1. When you are in certain text fields, the keyboard notices that you are at the beginning and helpfully puts on the Shift, because you're about to start typing a sentence. It doesn't do this on properly formed HTML password fields in Safari, nor should it. It seems some HTML text input types confuse the keyboard, and it sometimes doesn't turn on Shift. I noticed this, but I haven't spent any time trying to figure out what triggers the auto-shift of the keyboard.

Ryanide, the keyclick sounds are a setting in Settings -> Sounds -> Keyboard Clicks. Also pre-1.1.1.

I noticed that when I flip the silent/ringer switch on the side while phone is asleep, the screen no longer comes on to show the status icon.

Any chance they will add the ability to rotate pictures? If a photo comes in not oriented correctly, you can keep spinning the phone around trying to view it.

Mine has done that since 1.0, FYI.

while using the keyboard if you hold some keys (o, e, etc...) you get a pop-up menu for accents and alts.

I love this. And it's a great feature to add in time for European launch dates.

If you use RPN, the operators are evaluated in the order entered, with 45 as the result.

No, if you calculate 6 + 3 * 5 using RPN you get 21 if you:
- put 6 on the stack (6 ENTER) [Stack contains: 6]
- then you enter 3 and 5 and multiply them (3 ENTER 5 *). [Stack contains: 6 15],
- Finally you press + to add these numbers [Stack now contains: 21].
So, you would type "6 3 5 * +" in RPN.

If on the other hand you want to calculate (6 + 3) * 5, you type "6 3 + 5 *" to get 45.

Thanks, mate. I've posted it in the right forum now.
