Problem getting battery percentage in status bar

[paulgj]

Is there a way to get the battery percentage to display as a stand alone icon in the status bar rather than as a number inside the battery icon?

Whenever I enable the option to show the percentage it shows up inside the battery icon which is harder to see. I thought the default behavior of Pie was to show it as a separate number.

Thanks!

Not familiar with Nokia but check in settings of the battery ?

Thanks, the only option within the Battery settings just turns on and off the percentage within the battery icon.

I can ask some of my team members see if they can help.

that would be great. From what I can gather It seems that options normal behavior on Android Pie is to turn on and off the percentage as a separate icon on the taskbar.

I asked some team members looks like Motorola and Nokia follow this way in the battery icon the percentage .

hmmmm, interesting. Thank you for checking that out. I figured with the Android One phones it would be completely stock for the most part.

Your welcome, yeah I thought the same , I checked my pixel 3xl and 2xl and the percentage is separate from battery icon .

This battery percentage issue has been bugging me since I got the phone six months ago. There's no way round the problem I'm afraid.

When you pull down from the top the percentage shows next to the battery I on on my phone.

Yes it does, but you can't get it to stay there. When it's set to show inside the battery icon, you just can't read it. Stupid idea.

I fully agree!

On the BlackBerry 10 and Blackberry Android phones you could just swipe up on the home screen and the battery percentage would appear at the top of the screen but would not stay either.

Look at it this way. At least on the Nokia 7.1 you can still see the percentage inside the battery icon.

The problem is that without having a notification light if I turn off the phone to charge it, I have no idea when it's full because there is no extra display unless you gently press the power button, only then will you see where you're at in terms of the charge.

Regarding keeping an eye on the battery charge level while charging, you can monitor the charge level if you have the ambient display set to always be on during charging.

Thank you for the reply. Even when the phone is off?

I just also noticed that the battery status (percentage) also shows up at the bottom of the locked screen as well...

Battery widget reborn or accubattery from the store will accomplish what you want.

Is there any way to remove the Nokia battery icon from the bar? I looked but couldn't find it.

 

[unclefunbuckets]

I have my own I like to use. It wasted the space since there are 2 there.
