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).

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.

Few questions which I couldn't find using the search option
1-When I turn the phone to landscape and vice versa, the screen blurs just before auto rotating, is this a feature?
2-How can I see the battery percentage e.g 90% on top bar rather then that tiny battery icon?
Thanks a bunch!

I know it's an animation, but the texts and the whole screen blurs out for a second before auto rotating. Can you check it on your phone?
Yes, my second option was downloading battery app, but seems like Android settings only show tiny battery icon.
Thanks for the reply, appreciate it

Yes, it's supposed to blur out before rotating. And the HTC Desire isn't like that.
Download BatteryTime Lite and configure the widget to notification bar. Then you'll have it.
Thanks for speedy replies. You guys rock! is their any option or code to check call life timer? every phone has it
not that I know of buddy
Call life timer? Is that another power option? If so then battery time lite will tell you that amongst other bits of other information.

How is that done? The only option I can see in the settings is to pick your phone model....I'm new to android so I might be overlooking something obvious
Download it from the market mate, then long-press on a blank area of the homescreen > widgets > Batterytime Lite
Connect to the internet using WiFi or 3G. There's a gray bar with a small white triangle pointing upwards at the bottom of your screen, drag it up and you'll see a list of applications (apps for short). Now look for an app called "Market", tap that.
When it opens up, you'll see things to download, initially categorised by Paid Apps (which you have to pay of course) and Free Apps. If you look at the top-right corner of the screen, you should see a magnifying glass, tap that. Here you can search for BatteryTime Lite. You can just search for "Battery" and it'll give you loads more options.
Tap the ones you are interested in, you'll then see a button to install or buy at the bottom. Try the free ones first. To uninstall I usually go back to Market, select the "Downloads" button (same row as "Paid Apps" and "Free Apps" button when you have just loaded up Market), then tap your installed App, and you'll have the Uninstall button.
This is just one of the simpler way to uninstall, there are other ways though.
Hope that helps.
Tons of apps you can try for free, have fun.
Cheers - i'm fine with downloading, uninstalling & putting widgets on the home screen but is there a way of placing battery time lite onto the actual notification bar?
Not sure about BatteryTime Lite, but Battery Status has the option to place a battery indicator icon on the Notification Bar.
I've been thinking about this... and having had my handset for 2 weeks now.. and having had the same problems with the battery not last a full working day (if I leave for work at 6am and don't get back till 6..) I, like probably many of us.. became quite obsessed with it.. and wanted to know how many percent the battery had dropped during each half hour... we don't need to know this... we really don't.. all we really care about is.. will my phone still have juice in it when I get home at the end of the day.. and if you want to monitor the phones usage, install juice plotter.. then review it's data at the end of the day.. try it when your spending the day at home and don't need to worry about it running out.. I did that today..
Let the battery run flat over night and charged it this morning..
full charge at 1130 this morning.
9.5 hours later... 76% remaining... after some moderate use throughout the day..
I will become less obsessed when I don't have an issue any more.!!
ditto the recommendation for Battery Status Pro - it's free and works like a charm
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..?
So afaik there is no root yet for Sprint, but will this be needed to change the taskbar icons, such as the battery to show percentages and stuff like 3minit battery mod and stuff?
Thanks!

So I just got home from Sprint with my LG V20, and one thing that I'm trying to figure out is how to make the battery into a percentage instead of that old school CM style battery icon..?? I had a Note 5 and have had android since it first came out but I can't find this setting anywhere..
Thanks!

FYI if you want a percent on the second screen Batterybot was recommended by another xda member (sorry don't recall username). It works well except when you have too many statuses showing on the second screen it gets bumped from view once and a while.

I use battery widget reborn (free) for the same purpose on the second screen, However, it's always the first notification on the notification panel and the second screen when the main screen is off. I first used it on my G5 so I would always see my battery life on the always on display. It's also highly customizable with the look of the notification pull down menu, showing up to 10 toggles, and also the ability to show the battery chart without having to open the app.

Just wondering if there is Any way to show battery percentage inside the battery bar on new stock Nougat?
The only thing I am missing on this new firmware. I used to use the app Battery Percent Enabler but it does not work anymore... I also tried to long press the gear icon on the notification pull down to unlock the new settings but that does not work on ATT.
Thanks!

Thanks, but I am asking to add the percentage inside the battery icon so it does not take up all they room in the notification bar.

How much room does two(sometimes three) digits and a percentage symbol really take up?

More than I would like or I would not have posted this thread in the first place ?
I don't think there is an option for that, maybe in the future a rom will integrate it
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"?

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.
