"Show Battery %" has disappeared! (iPod Touch 4G)

In iOS 4, you could show your Battery% in the Settings -> General -> Usage tab.

But it's not showing up as an option anymore on my iPod Touch 4G with iOS 5 installed.

Did they move it somewhere else?

Or take it out completely?


NOTE: It was there right after I updated to iOS 5. I then did a device "RESET" to clear all the personal data back to the Factory Default setup, and the % disappeared from the Top Bar and it's no longer showing up as an option in the Settings menu.

Currently running iOS version 5.0 (9A334)

Go to settings > general > usage and you will see it there. Just click it to on and you will see it.

Apple has implemented battery percentage for iPod Touch users? Wow. Before iOS 5, iPod Touch's didn't have that functionality.

I had it on iOS 4.3.5 today before I updated my iPod Touch 4g to iOS 5 this afternoon.

There is no longer a toggle for it on my iPod. In the Usage menu, all it shows is storage space on the HDD. There is no option to show the battery % now on my iPod Touch 4G in the Usage menu.

See the above post, just do a reset - hold the sleep button and the home button for ten seconds, until the device resets itself. Let it reboot and try again.

I have never seen the battery % on the iPod Touch. It's been on the iPhone since at least iOS 4.1
