I had the previous version of that calculator. It had a blue/green vacuum tube display which required 4AA batteries. My father picked it up duty-free in Hong Kong in about 1972.
Oh, the glory days of Japanese-made electronics. That stuff lasted forever.
Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons.

Well, yes I was until uni. days 😉 - you had to declare use of calculator on A-level exam papers I recall.
Never got round to learning how to use this however 🤣
I still have my trig and log tables book from my O-level maths. Happier times ✌️😛
We were actually using 8 (possibly 12) figure log tables for calculating angles when setting out curves etc using theodolites
.... Then there were the AP3270 sight reduction tables for working on sextant calculations, sailing offshore in the years before GPS ... Happy days indeed 🤓
Here's a chronologically gifted digital calculator.........
Current Eon Next customer, ex EDF, Zog and Symbio. Don't think dual fuel saves money and don't like smart meters. Chronologically Gifted. If I offend let me know by private message, but I’ll continue to express my opinions nonetheless.
@WizzyWigg - I seriously reckon it's probably some missing/deprecated functionality in the graphing in older Android (you're V.8 I think?)
The app won't load from Google Play Store onto my 2013 Nexus7 tablet since it thinks it's obsolete, running V.6 - however I've upgraded its firmware to LineageOS, running Android V.11, and by side-loading the E.On apk it runs perfectly on the (obsolete) tablet and shows the new-style graphs 👍
@WizzyWigg Another thought following on from the discussion in the other thread - I wonder if when you download/use the app for the first time it sets a flag based on the version of the OS you're using (since we're using identical versions of the app itself).
It quite probably has different paths through the logic depending on the OS version - this would explain why I never see the disappearing graphs on my v14 phone, and also would explain why when I back up my v14 version and load it on my v11 tablet I get the functionality of the v14 (as it has the v14 flag set).
The app definitely checks what OS version it's running under, since when an update is due on the tablet it stops functioning because it keeps nagging me to do the update but won't let me because it thinks my tablet is obsolete - hence the need to side-load the apk from the phone version
Evening @geoffers I think that after a week or so the app must get bored and when it does the graph display works fine. Except for the daily view. As I previously mentioned I have 5 apps, it's only the Next app that has a problem (every update). 🙃 😂
Now here's a recent first. Today's update to version 1.12.3482 hasn't removed the new graph display. 😁 In fact I've now got the ability to see yearly usage and not just monthly and weekly. 😁 The only downside is the values in the yearly view for 2023 are totally inaccurate. 🙃
