I see some people have enabled battery percent number display on the status line.
How is that being done?
Thanks.

In system settings, power saver, scroll down. The option should be there.
Settings -> Power saver -> and check "Battery percentage" ( it is one before last option).
Thanks, I found it.
It's an odd place in the set up to put that option.
I also was just wondering this.. thx plenty for sharing.. seems I could have found that by tinkering with my phone a bit

Hi there,
I have a question about the battery notification's. In particular the % on with the notification's are given. i can't seem to find the settings window on the device. i found some thing's online suggesting that the settings are hidden on this device. so i thought is there a way of un-hiding there settings, and maybe more that are hidden.
I am very confused as to what you mean here?

The phone gives an notification when battery is low. this is done at about 40% or something. i would like to lower that to something like 10%, there is no settings for this. and of what i read online, the settings for that should be hidden. i am looking of a way to unhide it.
Ahhh. Are you sure its 40%. I get alerts on mine at 15% and I have done nothing to edit the alerts

Sounds like he means the power saving threshold...
If someone can describe the message accurately, I'll see if I can disable it
"Connect to a plug socket to change device and exit unused application in Task manager. Continued usage while charging may prevent efficient charging" That is the msg i get. and i do not want to disable it i just want to change the threshold, but the settings of that seems to be hidden.
You know, in the Settings/Power you could set Economy/Power Saver mode. All that is gone in ICS. As if the battery life isnt already bad .... Any alternatives?
HTC hid them.
Try the free ap called hidden settings
good luck

Thanks man. Much appreciated. I think their so called reasons for hiding sound bullish. Confusing the end user? Really? If it confuses people that much, then dont go into the power saver menu...or get an iphone... :/ .......Right

You can also use Minimalistic Text to create a widget that links to the power saving settings. Unfortunately the settings don't work as my wifi would never turn back on after waking the phone, I had to constantly restart my wifi everytime I picked up the phone. And the settings there are minimal, not like before where you had more choices. I had to reverse all the settings then uninstalled the app, it never helped save any battery at all.

Those settings only take effect when the battery drops below some (unknown) per cent. At least, that is my understanding.
Yea, I don't see an area where I can set a percentage to which power saver options activate... What gives HTC? Stupid to get rid of that feature even if I never really needed to use it tell now.

Speaking of power saving, does anyone else notice that since ICS, the backlight does not return to normal brightness after exiting camera application? You have to turn the screen off via the top button then back on to return to normal brightness.

I find the low power warning comes when the battery drops to 14%
Supposedly this is when the hidden power saving settings get implemented.
Yes, it would be nice to be able to change the 14% to be some other value, perhaps 30%

Yeah, I had mine set to 20% before the update. This hidden menu doesnt even have the option to set exactly when the power saver settings kick in...........No....I will never move to iphone. Not in a million years. But come on Android, stop downgrading your OS for cripes sake..geeez
I seem to have lost Power Saving mode after updating to ICS. Can anyone help or have any suggestions?
The power saver modes are hidden somewhere unreachable in ICS. This means you don't have access to them. I think in some custom Roms you can get them back, but I'm not sure.

I did install this App. It did not change any settings when my battery got low. Is there a way to enable the settings at a certain battery percentage?

ICS removed Power Savings, and this is true, the app allows you to changed power related settings but not when it will turn on or how to turn on 'power saving mode'

I noticed Leedroid Tweaks has a save power toggle in quick settings, but it's not automatic.
Also, I wonder if Tasker had the ability to activate power saver mode.

So if they removed the Power Savings option in ICS, is it just assumed that it's essentially obsolete as a whole?
I can't seem to find a way to know how much screen time I use in a day. Does anyone have any suggestions to find this out? Thanks

Install betterbatterystats, it cannot give you the info for the time before it is installed. It's best to install it, charge your phone, and then use your phone fully until low battery and check out the stats.
Go to phone settings-battery then scroll to screen, tap it and it will give screen on time.

1. Follow this thread and enable full display: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-hide-navigation-bar-status-bar-app-t3509747
2. Enable force long display in svc menu
3. download fingerprint quick action in playstore to use fingerprint as back and home button
4. if you want more control, download button mapper in playstore, assign volume down button hold for recents, and volume up button hold for toggle notification
sadly battery drain is an issue
enjoying full screen is the best, i wish phone manufactures enable some buttons at the back, imagine a near bezel less display fully utilized

Oh man more people should be trying this, looks wayyyyyyy better. I strongly recommend you leave the status bar . However just try to hide every thing, then leave the status bar and hide navigation bar only, u'll see what I really mean

very well jugdement there, so I've been only using it for 3-4 hours this morning (in cluding standby time), android system takes up to 4% (normally its around 5-6% at the end of the day). I'll however keep this hidden navigation bar till the end of the day. I'll update soon
So there you go, it does drain some serious battery there. Very sad :crying:

Have you tried pie control instead of fingerprint control? It still leaves the whole screen for displaying content.

Does it have home button?
OK it has. Settings user interface is a bit awkward at first.
What do use to make navigation bar disappear?

I know it sounds crazy but it wasn't a default settings :angel:
Will look about adb for immersive mode when I have time.
Did you solve the battery drain some people experienced?
Hey you should link to the non payed app version for people to try first...

Nothing noticeable but its only been a day since I enabled it.
And most people know that "pro" means there's a free version because they understand got play stores work but note taken

I immediately put everything back to normal haha. Well if you are OK with battery drain, you should forever have it that way cause the screen is just so pleasant to stare at
I have tried the Nexus P thread way to hide the navigation bar (except for YouTube and whatsapp) and then use xda LMT 2.8 pie app and it is working great for me, without extra drain as of today.
I turned each app into 18:9.
