Battery Precentage - Do you keep it on ?

[Hack-My-i]

I'm guessing so he can charge it at Starbucks? Doesn't have a car charger?

i was thinkin the same thing but the one starbucks i went to didnt have outlets lol

I have mine on all the time, it's so much easier to glance at it halfway through the day and see that it's at 85% or something. I can also tell if I'm usually at around the same level consistently.

 

[BLu]

Always on here too, although I look at it FAR too much!

 

[OmariJames]

out of curiousity...what does starbucks have to do with battery percentage?

When I see my battery getting below a certain percentage I look for a starbucks so I can go change my phone. They have tons of outlets there.

Doesn't have a car ( yet ) =] lol.

 

[sheriff]

I don't want a phone I have to turn on and off.....
24/7 for me....always on

 

[Jtshurtleff]

On! I have found that since I know that it is at an exact percent that I can get two days worth of charge! WOOOHOOO!!!

I would if the 3G had it.

Same here, If my 3G had it I'd use it.

 

[amorok]

I wish I had one on my 3G, I use an app for the percentage and I would much rather have it on the top. Why isn't it on everything with 3.1?

 

[Hack-My-i]

U can get it with SBSettings i beleive for you 3G guys

 

[cobra302]

i've got it switched on now. i'm actually quite surpised at how accurate it is!

 

[SaberSerene]

I used to keep it on, but then I started obsessing over every little percentage point so I switched it off.

Same for me I thought it would be cool to have the percentage and I was pissed when it wasn't in 3.0 or 3.1 but honestly I don't have mine on because I don't want to monitor my battery life. Like you I did obsess over it.

 

[spidermanroach]

Can anyone explain why I have the % on my phone? I have a 3g and I'm NOT jailbroken.

 

[SaberSerene]

did you restore from a back up with jailbreak data?

 

[iBenjii]

I do so I can will stay guilty and remind myself not to below 40%

 

[spidermanroach]

I had my phone jb and went back with the mms update. Maybe that is why? The only reason I came back to normal was because it was sluggish. Anybody else have that problem with the jb?

 

[iKittee]

On all the time.

 

[ddulaney14#IM]

I keep it on, but it does cause me to obsess (constantly checking) over the rate that it decreases!

 

[3seven1]

I have it on all the time. I use Battery Control to turn the battery icon off and I only have the percentage displayed. Much cleaner.

 

[darksniper404]

Yeah I leave mine on the percentage is depressing but I always look at the icon for some reassurance.
