Already replied for the Note 2. I might try on some even older HTC devices if I can find them...

I would certainly add the weight, along with cylinder size(s). As all the fields are in the data, can we add a field selector to the prefs? I would try, but my C coding skills don't even meet the "novice" grade.

My most recent dives were in Sharm el Sheikh (before the holiday was cut short), so was in GMT+2. I downloaded once I got home (GMT), and the locations weren't matched. The log data is from a Sensus, so timezones are an alien concept there (it just tracks seconds since the data was logged).
I really should try a new log file downloading with the "correct" TZ, to check if that is the issue.
