Is it just me or does everyone have a black bar in signal stats? When you click battery in menu and then click the graph why is the phone signal bar black? It used to be green and change colors with varying reception on GB

Hey guys, I've cooked about 10 ROMs so far and they've all worked perfectly but I have a problem in the top right hand corner of the screen. In all the ROMs that I have cooked there were always two battery indicators. The battery indicators have percentages of the power left in the battery. I find this very annoying since I'm more a fan of having just the mini-dialog-clock and the "original" battery indicator (battery shaped with 3 vertical dash marks). The htc task manager also doesn't work because of this. I've always removed the "batti" app from the packages folder and it still doesn't help. I've been using Alex's kaiser kitchen if that is any help. All and any help is appreciated. Thanks.

do you have quickmenu in your rom?

Yep did that but there's still a diff battery indicator with a percentage on top of it. How do I just get the "stock" one?

delete all the battery indicators from your packages folder, because for some reason they get included even if you dont want them to
Today is my first day with more or less normal usage pattern with the Captivate. I've been watching the battery on the status bar with interest. Decided to look at charge level through Settings > About Phone > Status, and while the status bar graphic looks to show a battery at ~80-85% capacity, the actual number was 62%. Sure would be nice to have a better depiction of the situation on the status bar...
Same here. Looks like mine is at least 50% in the taskbar but is "actually" 29%. Is there a way to revert to the default android taskbar?
Really, someone needs to write an app for these phones that does away with the battery graphic and just shows you the percent number (Like they do on the iphones).
Cant believe nobody has done this for android yet.
Battery Snap at market does this pretty well

This gives you a widget, which is decent. But on the iphone in the upper corner, there is no silly batter graphic, it shows you a number percentage(i.e. 82%), that way you know exactly how much battery life is left.
Battery Status Indicator in the marketplace seems to work. There are a bunch of other ones, none that I have found that actually replace the stock battery icon. It just displays another battery icon with the % in the status bar.
it is the same issue with my nexus one, the battery icon looks like 80% left and the status screen shows 60ish%. it must be an android os issue. the funny thing is that the x10a i had seemed to show a much better representation of actual life left. i used to use my battery status from the market and it would just show the % of life left all the time in the top left corner of the status bar
Yep, I've noticed the same. I think that the battery indicater doesn't change untill after you reach the threshold for state... So it doesn't show two bars missing until you hit 59/60%. its very annoying.
One of my coworkers had an app that places a percent indicater in the notification bar... Ill be looking into getting that.

I think the battery icon is only showing 4 or 5 stages of battery life, and it's very underhanded because it shows more than what it actually has.
a full battery is > 75%
slight sliver is 74% - 50%
orange is 49% - 25%
red is < 25%
I would love to have the icon replaced with something more accurate.
Is everyone else's Stock Battery Indicator ridiculous inaccurate? I'm at 42% battery life currently (widget/spare parts) and the stock indicator shows a level around 65-75%.

it's not 'inaccurate' samsung has set it like that. but if you want to tweak it, try search around.

Ah, correction, rather than inaccurate it just rounds up generously.

Yea, that's common. They don't have very many level drops.
If anyone finds an app that can overlay a % (or replace it with a %) on top of the STOCK ICON, that'd be awesome. There's some that add an additional icon but I don't want that, that's just stupid to have two battery icons...
Also if anyone finds an app that can overlay a dBm signal in place of the signal strength meters that'd be awesome, too.

Yes, I was wanting a NEW battery gauge, one that shows the percentage, not the ridiculous stock icon thats off by a mile. Also, I'm with you I dont want two battery icons up there. I guess its harder than I think it should be to create an app that does that.
I'd assume since it's the TouchWiz UI that something specific to the Captivate would have to change the icon... That's my assumption anyway, I'm not a developer.

You guys might want to try System Info Widget in the Market. Pretty good and definitely accurate.
What annoys me is that Samsung has the numerical info in the about screen, so why not just create a toggle so we can go from bar to numeric....
I think they pulled an Apple and wanted the bars to always look bigger.
I installed Battery Widget (the one with over 250K downloads)... Best thing for now...
I noticed the same thing right away... Not sure if they thought users would miss this but its a little misleading..
Battery status widget works for me.

It also depends on which ROM you are running. In CM 10.1 for example you can change the battery color settings.
i have dual boot right now, stock and cm 10.1 but i never changed the color icon, some days ago the tablet went really hot, i think i damaged something

Hello everyone, it's days that I try, in vain, to activate battery percentage display. In menù settings and in particular in the "status bar" section, I can not find any option to do this.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance.
I read that is coming in the next update most likely. How true? no idea but I'm sure it's coming soon.

Well that's even better. Awesome!
Hopefully this will be like the OnePlus 5 after launch. There was like 2 or 3 updates in the first 10 days or something. Bug fixes and feature add-ins
I'm using the Xposed module GravityBox to get the percentage.
Use accubattery and you will get battery percentage on left side
OP should switch to circle battery icon. Best of both worlds not much space taken up while still actually being useful by showing the percentage in the center of the circle. Probably will never happen.

You can install this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bhanu.powerbar
It can add batter percentage and also adds a a bar you can then in the phone setting hide the battery icon if you just want the percentage.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of this as it makes the damn number so small you can't read if it's a 6 or an 8 or even a 9 sometimes. The standard 100% with the symbol is needed for certain. They can still add in the percentage in the whatever icon for the ones that like it but the standard number with the % is a must I feel.
I usually have the percentagem with no icon, that's perfect for me. It doesn't had any more space and it was already in Oxygen OS, not sure why they removed it.
Lets see what they do on the next update.
battery percentage is way more important that icon,
also they can easily can add slim icon to save some space.

No, it's horrible.
I hope they will set option circle battery icon with procentage inside circle. Would not take more space and % would be there...
Heh...I didn't even know that you could have the percentage WITHOUT the icon....
Good stuff.
Do you know how to set this double sim status icon?
