Hi All,
I searched but didn't see this here.
How do we get % for battery on the Verizon S III? By this I mean like 100%, 95%, etc up on the green battery. I remember seeing it on the Sprint S III I went to look at and I thought I saw something in Settings about it.
Did VZ remove it or did I just not see it? I believe I looked through all settings.
Also can we get shortcuts on the lock screen (like Camera and phone) if we use a Pattern lock?
I am not rooted or anything. Is it possible to get both above without rooting or modifying?
Thanks all!!

Just wondering, did anyone else notice that when you try going to max brightness (from settings->display) it only goes to 99%? And if you try going to 100% with widgets, the screen gets brighter all the way till 99% and then when it hits 100 it gets a lot dimmer
Anyone else noticed this? Or is this bug specific to my poor unrooted X10a ?
I went to the Setting -> Display and Un-check Auto but I did not get the % scale, it just a scroll bar without any number in it, but it went all the way up and down as well. Maybe depends on the firmware in the phone...

Yea you can't see the number over there.. you need a widget for that. But if you slide it to the maximum possible, and then look at the number in a widget(I've tried 4 so far, so its not a widget problem) it says 99%, if you make that 100 through the widget, it dims.
I guess SE knew this and made the max brightness 99%?
Yea it happens to me too. I use Quick settings and when I slide to 100%, it dims. But it's not really a big deal cuz I set my phone at 18-20%. Saves a lot of battery
same here ...
100% is just like 10%
Yes i noticed that to! I was looking for a widget to controll backlight, found one that looked pretty and got a bit sad couse i thought it was faulty for not working correct so i uninstalled it. Nice to know the reason for why things not work

Hey everyone,
The root is working fantastically. The only issue is that my Honeycomb Launcher always displays a full charging battery in the lower right corner, regardless of the state of my tablet. Is there anything I can do about this? I'd love to actually see how much battery is left.

First thing that I would do is to restart the Nook and see if you get a different reading (the problem may be with the app not updating it's reading). Next, I would install another battery monitoring app to see if the problem is with the launcher or with the nook.

I guess I also forgot to mention this is onlty on the home screen where the honeycomb battery icon is displayed. In all appear and stuff the nooks battery meter is displayed and it shows the charge. Restarting didn't change anything

Haha, well I managed to get it to work by figuring out that by sliding my finger up or down on the homescreen it'll actually display or hide the stock notification bar which shows the accurate battery life
does anyone have issues with the HCL force closing a lot? I have my go launcher ex set up looking kinda similar to HCL. I would much rather have HCL though
Hey everyone,
I just got an AT&T pebble blue galaxy s3 to replace my Atrix 4g. Everything is great except the atrix had the ability for the screen to never time out and samsung seems to not have that feature. When I look at the screen timeout settings it goes from 15 seconds to 10 minutes but there is no "never time out" option. Any solution to this?
I commute about an hour to work and its annoying to have to tap the display every few songs so the screen stays on so I can swipe to the next song in spotify. The phone is not rooted but I'll root if necessary. It would also take a lot of convincing to get me to flash a new rom. Thanks.
I don't think the Samsung Galaxy S III has that option built-in, unfortunately, but it seems like this app can do pretty much what you want to do: http://www.appbrain.com/app/screen-on/gr.androiddev.ScreenOn
Try a program called Battery Booster avaliable from the market. Go into settings, click the little clock icon and click the never button. Your screen will stay on forever. There are other time settings as well. I use it. It's great.
install extended controls from market and add "always screen on toggle" to your homescreen. enable/disable it whenever you want

Note that you are in the wrong forum. This is for the international i9300, not the US-versions.
The App 'Keep Screen On' in the market does exactly what you are looking for.
All three of these apps are great, thanks so much everyone
Hey, since the new update, the battery indicator in the nitificationbar is not updating / refreshing anymore, id does just always show a full battery, even when there is only like 40% left.
If i restart the phone it will set to the batterylife that is left, for example if i reset at 3/4 of the bettery it will show that but not refresh anymore till i reset again.
Factory reset and so on does not help, seems like a big software issue with the phone here.
if i go to options battery, it will show the right %tage in the options menue.
Also, they said in the patchnotes, that they now implemented a % of the battery in the notificationbar, but there is literally no option to enable that, any idead on where to search for that?
Or nay app recomendations that could help me out here?

It's working on mine. It is always set to % , no option to turn off.
I updated by using full time flashed with sp flash. Did you do it with OTA?

Yes, it made an update in the middle of the night when it got releasen, funny thing is, i turned auto updates off and nearly got late for work, because my phone is also my alarm clock and since it made it´s update on it´s own it reset and needet my passcode to restart.
Nevermind, i usually make a factory reset after an update and most problems are gone by now, for example the multitask bug, it is still there but not all the time and usually only when apps havent been open for a few minutes or from what i´ve seen, it just loasd alot of apps into the RAM and as soon as the 3,9gb are full it just closes all of them, instead of just making enough space and killing the first few that you have had open. I hope they fix that in the next update, but still it is way better than before.
BUt back to the topic. Since the Update, the battery indicator on the right top has a different style but as i mentioned just stays white and shows a full battery all the time, with no option to change it to % like the update log was mentioning.
Before the update it also had no % in the bar but when you moved the bar down there at leas was a % shown, now just a full battery symbol all the time.
But i tried a few different apps now an one just put in % in the battery icon now and also updates : itßs called Battery Percent Enabler, i tried 5 different ones, they did not work, but this just works fine, it is accurate with the battery indicator in the menu.
But i´ll guess i will try and root may phone sooner or later and then i will just flash the newest rom on it anyways.
Just wanted to know if i´m the problem and i just couldent find the menu to activate it, if it was a generell software problem or if it is just a bug since the update.
An other question, do you also have the frontfacing camera but since the update?
People in the umidigi forum and on reddit post about it en mass, i first thought it was a crack in the camera lens but since the update i have it too and people are having it too since the update.
https://ibb.co/RgXSpNJ
Its just one of the pictures of another f1 user since the update, mine has this weird line right in the middle of the camera, but i cant find a crack in the glass or the lense and since it only happened to people since the update do you think they messed something up in the cam software?
I also found a few that state the frontcam is not working at all since the update.

Literally the same issue battery indicator only shows the battery life when first booted, rebooted, or charging. Otherwise the battery does not move. had to install widget off of playstore. Also no percentage on/off even though when you type it in the settings search bar it shows it but redirects you to battery and we'll you guessesd it not there... hope patch comes out soon....

Hi, as i already troubleshooted and also kinda fixed it, just get the app i wrote in the first comment and everything should be good.
the only other thing that would help now is to re install the lastest update, since you messed something up while doing so.
or you can just install the app that i told you about.
Many of these little bugs or tweaks would be easily solved if we had an official and working GravityBox for Pie. Shame.

Hey google not responding with screen off or locked?
Tried enabling in the settings, still only works when phone is active?.
I have same problem ... It works only on lock screen, not when screen is black. So for example if I have accident and cannot move my arms, then I cannot use assistant to call for help, because I need to push power button (or double tap screen) first . This is very sad, just imagine how many people dieded because they could not call for help .
LOL, im sure it will get fixed, glad its just not me.
Did they remove the BOOST charge option for you to?

I never heard of boost option what is that ..
In charge setting there was an option called BOOST MODE, i was getting 18 min charge with it on, now its 21-22 mins, not a big difference really, just wondered where it went.

Lolxx.. This is too much
LOL, yeah it probably will not get fixed for a while if ever, its a satey net issue.
God dam annoying though.
A neat workaround is if you have a smartwatch, it still works on that.
