Number off is utterly useless.
It's actually very easy to have the number off and still get full functionality.
I just made a 100 page booklet that shows each battery level graphic alongside the percentage, so when I want to check my battery level, I just pull out the book and flip back and forth until I find the right icon, and bam! I know my exact battery level in less than 5 minutes.
counterpoint: these numbers are guesswork anyway. why pretend, you just want to know that it's not red
I more want a guesstimate of when my phone will be red, so if anything a second timer next to my clock would be best.
...or a number that i can tune my own instincts to
I suggest wingding font
Counter counter point: I want to know whether it's at 90%, 75%, 60% or 45% without counting pixels
Can you not just glance and see approximately? Can't think visually, must convert to numerical?
Yes, I must have the exact number. I need some certainty in the chaos of this universe.
Yes, if I give the screen a lil' kiss with my eyelids I can probably see that the icon has 8 pixels in height instead of 11.
That is not what I would call a "glance" though; I can, however, just glance and see approximately, by looking at the first digit of the number.
Why glance and see approximately when you can glance and see exactly?
Okay, give me an actual voltage reading, why not?
Unironically yes please, I'd root my phone for this
Battery Monitor - Available on F-Droid does exactly that, without having to root the phone.
Right now my battery is 87%, 3.984V, and 99.3⁰F
