[Q] Is there a way to Always display my battery percentage in the lock screen?

is there an App or Hack for this? I'm always checking my battery and would rather see it on the lock screen than unlocking it first. I mean it shows while charging, it seems like ti should be easy....but what do I know

Widget locker and a battery widget?

Try Battery Status Bar. It's free, has tons of options and puts the accurate % in the notification bar which of course can be seen on the lock screen.

1% Battery Mod / 15 Toggle Mod / Menu Key?

I have these both on my Skyrocket and I'm wondering if they are available for this yet? Standard battery icon with the percent over it, and toggles to turn wifi, Bluetooth stuff like that on and off in the pulldown nav.
Also I know I've seen it somewhere. But a mod to force the menu button to always be in the bottom navigation bar?
I can post a picture if you want to see what I mean.

Power Toggles can pin a toggle bar to the notifications pull down, will also show a percentage icon.

That is great, but it doesn't actually automatically toggle like GPS on or off just takes me to the screen to check or unchecked it myself. And though it does show the percentage, I don't think its 1% and definitely not as clean as if it replaces the stock battery icon on the right side.
Also anything for the menu key?

Have you tried 1tap QuickBar for the navigation bar toggles?

Oh man I'd kill for a menu key that's always on. The 3 dots from up and down kinda menu key!

[Q] What's this icon?

Hi
I was wondering what this icon means in my notification bar?
It is this small dot on the left of my bar and it only appears when I'm watching YouTube videos on full screen. Whenever this shows up the color is slightly weird.

Try shutting down running apps in the Task Manager to see if anything removes it from the Notification Bar.
Also you could try using add on detector from the store.

its your Google Now notifications

When you are watching movies/etc and it dims the notification bar, that symbol appears if you have any notifications.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot! This seems to be it!

[Q] Lock Screen Issues- Status bar

Hollow xda community. I am having an issue with my lock screen. I am running action launcher and the Pacman ROM. My issue is that the status bar clock disappears on the lock screen. I tried running the stock launcher and it still disappears. I've attached screenshots of my issue.

Nice wallpaper.
Do you really need the notification bar clock?
What happens when you pull down the notification shade?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

It's normal. Its because it shows the clock widget on the lockscreen already, so there's no point of showing it in the status bar as well.

Thanks. If I pull the notification shade down the clock appears but then disappears when I pull it back up. I understand that its not really necessary but I end up missing notifications because I think my status bar is empty. I know. Kinda stupid.
Anyways if there's a quick fix I'll be glad. Otherwise I can learn to live with it

Status bar notification doesn't unlock screen

When I receive notifications from certain apps (Facebook and others I forgot) if I pull my status bar down and tap the notification nothing happens. My lock screen just remains on and then shuts off. I don't have a passcode lock or pattern. For example, if I get an email I hit the power button to turn my screen on, pull down my status bar and click the email it will open up to my email. With some apps I tap the notification and nothing happens. Never had this issue before on older Samsung phones.

The times I've seen this happen where when the app that sent the notification was running behind the lock screen. Example would be Wi-Fi tether. I'd pull down the notification and tap the Wi-Fi tether icon and nothing happened. If I was at my home screen it would unlock and go to the tether app. Not sure if you see the same thing.
