Quick ? on Battery Percent
I must have stumbled upon this before, but can't find it now despite a search of this forum as well as google for "battery percent display" and just "battery percent". One of my Pocket Edges displays a percentage of battery remaining in the top right corner, and one does not. I've also scanned through all the settings utilities and widgets. How do I get my new Edge to display the battery percent?

You know, I don't think I have ever seen a Setting for this. That's strange. However, try downloading a small widget called Battery Widget and put it on your home screen and see what it displays. It's a pretty cool widget.

Thanks! That's not the same one I have on "PE1" but this totally works. In fact, I think I like this one better. The graphic is cute.

It's simple, but nice. I like this better than the icon in the Notification area anyway because it displays the battery percentage remaining. Briefly touch it for a few more surprises. Last edited by obsessed2; 11-27-2011 at 06:12 PM. |

I downloaded the app and installed it, but I don't see it anywhere. What am I missing?

It's not an App. It's a Widget. However, many Apps have Widgets. There are a couple of ways to add a Widget to one of the 5 desktop screens. First, LONG press (press and hold) on any blank space on any of the PEs 5 screens. You should receive a pop-up that says Add to Home Screen. Select Widgets and then select Battery Widget. OR Press MENU on the Tablet. Select Add (+). Select Widgets and then select Battery Widget. Once Battery Widget is on your desktop, touch it to quickly access useful info about your battery as well as options to help conserve it. Last edited by obsessed2; 11-29-2011 at 05:36 PM. |

No problem. Battery Widget is among the most useful widgets out there. I really like to be able to see the percentage of battery remaining with a simple glance. |
