That's Numberwang

Number on

I'm gonna make a thread asking, "what is a food you know?" so everyone can reply "homt dog" and I can get lots of notifications

Let's have a vote. I'll make two replies, please DOWNVOTE the one you agree with. The option with the most downvotes wins.

(I'm using downvotes instead of upvotes to make it obvious there's no karma manipulation involved)

Number only, get out of here with superfluous symbols. I don't need The Status Bar: Illustrated Edition.

Without the number on, i keep letting my phone die because i dont realize its on 1% and i should really charge it

Lithium ion batteries cannot super accurately report their own charge so the percentage isn't necessarily digit accurate.

I am also usually just making sure it'll get me to a place I can charge it when I actually need to worry about charge. That doesn't usually require like the difference between say 33% and 26% for me.

I just need to be able to see if I've got like a fifth of battery left or less / more.

Admitedly also with the ADHD if there's a percentage I fixate on it for no reason so it's less annoying for me to have it off.

Same with the battery level in my e-bike. 👀 I know it'll get me to work and back as it always does but not constantly fixating on the remaining battery is impossible.

I remember when I switched from a Samsung phone to one of the first pixel phones years ago and being so angry that it did not have an option to add the number. I think the only way back then ended up being in the developer options. That phone somehow just ended up getting into a boot loop only like 4 months after getting it and they didnt respect the warranty. It was provided by work so I didnt care that much since no real loss to me, but ill never forget that impression it left on me and ill never get another pixel or google phone ever again.

Back in the good old days, the number was next to the battery, and it was bigger. Then they updated the software and shrunk the number down to fit it in the battery.

Number off, it's peaceful.

Funny how they're like "we all" about something that is probably 50/50 or not even that.

I didn't even know there was a number off setting

I'd rather have the percentage on and with slightly larger digits, because at more than a feet away from the phone screen hard to tell how much battery charge is left without the percentage.

A lot of people like to do extra work to ignore hard realities.

I wish the number was clearly visible. That’s all I want. The numbers are usually too hard to see for me.

Default is the best

• No number
• Number appears while peeking notifications
• Full notification shade shows until hh:mm

As someone who used to be a fully crowded status bar (clock with seconds, network traffic indicator and all) guy…

No numbers. It's chill, I don't need to know if it's at 60% or 62% every time I look at it.

I don't use my phone as much now anyway and it's more like a household item to me.
