On. Always numbers on.
Always on.
I must know precisely how anxious to be.
I literally have just the number
Both, although I probably dont need the icon
I need an icon to show what the percentage refers to, i dont need an icon to visualize what that percentage means.
I had no idea you could turn the number off nor that anyone would want to
That’s Numberwang
Nunber gang. That said it doesn’t change a lot for me. If I had a bar and it looked half full I’d be charging same as if the nunber read 55%
Lithium ion batteries cannot super accurately report their own charge so the percentage isn’t necessarily digit accurate.
I am also usually just making sure it’ll get me to a place I can charge it when I actually need to worry about charge. That doesn’t usually require like the difference between say 33% and 26% for me.
I just need to be able to see if I’ve got like a fifth of battery left or less / more.
Admitedly also with the ADHD if there’s a percentage I fixate on it for no reason so it’s less annoying for me to have it off.
Same with the battery level in my e-bike. 👀 I know it’ll get me to work and back as it always does but not constantly fixating on the remaining battery is impossible.
I remember when I switched from a Samsung phone to one of the first pixel phones years ago and being so angry that it did not have an option to add the number. I think the only way back then ended up being in the developer options. That phone somehow just ended up getting into a boot loop only like 4 months after getting it and they didnt respect the warranty. It was provided by work so I didnt care that much since no real loss to me, but ill never forget that impression it left on me and ill never get another pixel or google phone ever again.
What are you talking about big dog?!? Do you work for Apple? Everything you’re saying is wrong, but why?
Wow, I actually can’t stand the number. It gives me anxiety.
I wish the number was clearly visible. That’s all I want. The numbers are usually too hard to see for me.
Change your display scaling in the Developer Options in Android. “Minimum width” or “Smallest width” is the number you want to adjust. Decrease number to increase scaling, increase to decrease until you’re happy and everything is legible.
I don’t want anything else bigger except that number. And when the percentage is on top of the battery symbol it’s really hard to see when the numbers and background are different colors. My brain finds it difficult to process.
I’d rather have the percentage on and with slightly larger digits, because at more than a feet away from the phone screen hard to tell how much battery charge is left without the percentage.
On because of accuracy and its the default
Estimating the state of charge on a lithium battery is extremely complicated and difficult. And they stopped showing the numbers earlier because they didn’t want you to see how inaccurate they were.
Nowadays, the models are better and more sophisticated, but the tradition continues.
