Is there a way to get a percentage number along with the battery icon?
There is a free widget available in the market which does exactly what u assked for.
Just search for "battery percentage"
Sorry, I wasn't clear, I want it up where the current battery icon is, not a widget.
I use battery indicator, it's free from the market and though it doen't show the percentage on top of the battery icon, it shows it to the left of the notification bar so it's always there no matter in what screen you are and occupies no desktop space.
Also, it shows some very useful, very well integrated info in the notification area when you pull it down including how long it's been unplugged, bettery health, temp and voltage.
In case it was any concern, it hasn't affected my battery life at all (i can still get about 3 days on mid-light use)
Hope u like it!!
Use the battery monitor already built in that goes into the notification bar.
Then bring the bar down and the percentage is there.
i've been trying out quite a bunch of modded roms for the past week, and I think I came accross one which indeed had percentage written in the small green battery icon at the top-right corner next to the time. Maybe try out the r1 cyanogen port from modaco.
Most modded roms use some kind of ugly donut icon, which isn't more precise than the stock battery looking icon.
However, i'm not actually sure if having percentage written in the icon changes much : i suppose there must be an equal number of pictures, whatever battery indicator design you choose.

Yep, I tried but could not see the percentage..?
When you create a new contact with the same name as a contact that already exists, you should be notified of it and asked if you want to merge the contacts.
Surely I'm not the only one that thinks this would be helpful.
Yes defininitetaly

Another possible tweak
What about this? When you plug in your phone, the background goes to full brightness. Or is that bad for the battery?

or... use auto-brightness? ?? I dont understand why you need full brightness, just slide the notification bar...
Auto-brightness is good, but if battery consumption isn't an issue, why not go to full? It looks nicer IMO.
Hi everybody
I have an android lg g2 lollipop But I have a clock problem ... For example, I put in standby (clicks the button that is alimetation behind the lg g2) my phone has time 10.00 but after half an hour, for example when I want to watch earlier in my phone ... I find that the clock shows 10.00 and then again after a second or two it shows me 10.30. it is as if the clock is not instantaneous. I tried to disables Auto clock tick ... then I tried manual clock .. Enable and disable auto time zone ... But no change. However. When for example I am about to listen to music, and I put my phone in standby mode, and after fifteen minutes I want to see the clock .. Well this time it is instantaneous. I have never installed a custom ROM or ROOTE my phone
I TRIED HARD RESET
When the battery charger is plugged , I can not find this problem

I noticed it when I was 100% stock too. It's how it is on the g2 and there is no way of 'fixing' it as it's obviously a battery saving feature.

you mean that it is to save battery power, the clock is not instantaneous?
* for me either 100% or any battery level I suffer from this problem?
you have lollipop or kitkat?

Yes, that is what I mean. The phone shuts off background processes when the screen shuts off to save battery. Every phone does it, but it happens to be more noticeable on the g2. Unless you root, there is no way of even trying to fix it.
I'm on lollipop btw.

Are you sure if just root my phone ,the problem is solved ? Did you try this method ?
Rooting just gives you access to the filesystem. From there you can modify the rom to what you need. Just rooting will not fix your problem. If I were you, I would leave it alone since you can do more harm than good.
Why don't you try to disable all the stock apps you don't need? It might help since it would bump the clock app up the queue of background processes to restart on screen on. To do that you go to settings>apps>all apps and disable each app that you don't use. Some can't be disabled.

if you disable clock with myandroidtools.. the service.. or stop clock from starting up during boot, if you use greenify app and hibernate clock, or if you use amplify and select clock or alarm something related to clock makes it like that.. when i dont mess with clock anymore then my clock its ok... do you mean the one on top of status bar? casue i talk about the ones in the widgets or lock screen.

Is there any way to show current battery status on the second screen when phone is in standby?
I hope theirs a way to add it, hate having to unlock phone to check battery percentage
Yes this is driving me nuts as well....would love to see the battery percentage on second screen and not just the battery icon.
I agree. Wish there was a way to display %

I found a work around of sorts for this. It's not perfect but, it works decent. You'll need to get the free app called "Battery Mix" from the Google Play Store.
After install, go into the app settings (icon style wheel (top right)->settings button will appear underneath). The very first setting at the top will be for the Notification Icon. It will say: "Remaining battery icon displayed in the status bar". Make sure this is checked. Then choose an icon style to appear in the status bar if you haven't already. I prefer the Round Rectangle one, personally.
Keep in mind, if you have a lot of uncleard notifications, it may not show in the second screen until you do so.
This app also has a very nice battery alarm feature that allows the app to notify you by notification and sound (even vibration and your phone LEDs) when your phone reaches or drops to certain charge level percentages. This is very handy to remind you to either plug in the charger, or unplug to prevent overcharging. All the best! LGman
One would think that after 8 years in the wild, Android would allow you to have JUST the battery percentage on the status bar. We can't even hide the stock icon without the help of an app or root. Sad really.

And it's not as if they can't, Samsung proved that with their Note 7 where an update changed the battery icon to green
Persistent notification icon + a tasker task that'll only keep the notification active during screen lock will work. It'll take approximately 13 hours to get it to work properly and not bug out, but once you go through that arduous process for a negligible improvement you'll feel satisfied.
But seriously - this is the only way I can see you getting it done. I'm annoyed that the goddamned STOCK clock app won't show a timer on the 2nd screen, which is such an oversight it kills me.
Well, you could just install nova launcher and hide notifications bar and ta daaaa. Time, signal, and battery w/ percentage in 2nd screen. Your welcome. Lol.

Doesn't work for me. My second screen shows signal, time, and battery icon. And now I can't control my second window, ta daaaa.
i've been trying to find a way to do this as well. glad to see i'm not alone. i thought maybe an xposed module would do it..
It isn't perfect, but I did make a Tasker flasher for the 2nd screen that displays the current battery % every 10 seconds. Instructions on how to get it into Tasker are in the first post (the instructions are for a different ticker, but they apply to all of them).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=69401641
In that topic, I also have a new text message (done) and a missed call (possibly WIP) flasher too.

I'm confused, I can always get battery percentage to appear on the status bar of all my android phones. It's just unchecked in battery settings.
This thread was about putting it on the second screen which I don't believe is more than 2 years (still plenty of time though).
The second screen is useless to me. They should make it E-Ink or OLED, saves battery.
I rather have a notification light. Unless i'm using it wrong?

This small little app works for me.

You missed the keywords "just the percentage" as in.. hide the battery icon and only have percentage showing... Without the use of an app or root. And it was a generalized statement pertaining to either the main screen or the second.

If you do that then you can't scroll the second screen anymore. At least in my version of Nova.

Yeah. Your right. That's why I disabled it.
Second screen was a brilliant idea. But they came so short on modifications.
Without using any app.
Is there a native way to accomplish this mod, seem to remember this being fairly common in the days before xposed etc. While I have gotten the percent to show, it appears next to the batt icon.
I am not looking for apps or ways of accomplishing this via things from the play store, so please do not suggest them.
EDIT: to be clear i am not looking for the current way OOS places the percent in the statusbar. I am looking for a way to have the percent WITHIN the battery icon.
I have figured it out using Minit as suggested in this thread, but looking for a cleaner way since Minit is not as nice as the stock icons + only skins after boot completes.
Only way i know of in OOS is with 3minit battery mod
Settings > Status Bar > "Show Battery Percentage"?

Was also looking for it, but there is no stock option that would achieve that (I am aware of).

He wants to have the battery percentage inside the battery icon. Your solution just puts it next to the icon.

That is correct, I have percent enabled right now, but its such a waste of real estate in the statusbar.

I will look into 3minit, have you been successful in getting this running on your OP5?
Wow, that was pretty easy... Got 3minit running well. Some small padding issues in the statusbar... anyone know what may be causing. It appears the stock OOS battery icons didnt hide/change to 0.0dip, I hid them with the stock functionality.
Issue is the 3minit battery icon is a little too close to the clock....
thoughts?
Here is s a screenshot of how it currently looks, would like some advice how to fix that slight padding issue next to the clock

I have an OP3 but sucessfull used it, yes. Its working on all devices afaik. You just need to do some editing in your OPSystemUI.apk. everything else is explained in the main 3minit thread. If you need help editing the xml file the correct way, you can pm me, i still have example xml from OP3, should be the same as OP5.
Edit: nevermind, you already got it working. The icon being too close to the clock is something i also noticed. You cant change that, except trying out other icons.
You can just switch off the battery icon and display text only, I never understood the icon anyway, not accurate at all.

I like the icon + text. Would actually be fine with just text, but dont want the '%' label...
hmm, wonder where that info is stored
