Prob in Volume indicator

[manikantan]

I have made an application that traces the current volume set in the handset. Wen i ported the device onto NOKIA 5200 or N73. It seems to give incorrect values.Is it an inbuilt bug ?

Hi,

Please provide more information. What kind of values are you getting? What is the minimum and maximum volume value for each device?

Hi there,
On my NOKIA 5200, I get values 55/100. On another phone( N73), i get 5/9 ~= 55 %.

Wat can be the reason fa such a wrong value ?

It sounds like the platform differences,...

If 9 is the MAX and 0 the MIN then you have 0-100% for S60
If 100 is the MAX and 0 the MIN then you have 0-100% for S40

It looks like the two ports are inconsistent, and really there's nothing to do but work around this for now. The N73 was the first S60 v3 device to get Flash Lite, there are other minor bugs like TimeZone for example. You have to multiply the timezone by -1 to get the right value.

It's possible to determine the device and work around the bugs by using the FSCommand function.

status = fscommand2("GetDevice", "device");

In the above the "device" becomes a variable containing the device which should relate to the N73. status returns 0 for supported and -1 for unsupported.

You may also was to use this in combination with the following to get a more accurate picture.

status = fscommand2("GetPlatform", "platform");

I've observed this difference between s60 and series 40 on other devices, 6290 (s60), gives values 0 -9 and 5300 (series 40) gives values 0 - 100.

If you do the division in both cases the proportions are the same so go with percentages.
