None of these seem to work for me. On the lockscreen the numerical battery will display, but on any other screen regardless of whether or not I have an app open, I see the battery % draw but instantly get overwritten, and I can't figure out why.

Any help? I thought it may have something to do with the free memory display, but that didn't get me anywhere either.

Its so much easier. Except he didnt mention that you have to use a plist editor (which can be found on google), you have to add it under the <string>iPhone</string> thing, and also, you need to respring after, which, if you don´t have SBSettings, can be done by clicking and then undoing anything in winterboard. Then go to settings, general, usage, and turn it on. THANKS GIBAR.

Am I the only one who thinks the % icon actually looks badass? <.< >.>

KillerChris1213, you are an idiot. Re-read the posts.

Use gibars walkthrough, Its so much easier.

It's not easier, it still requires you to copy the PLIST file to your computer, edit it using a PLIST editor and then recopy it back to your iPhone.

I do agree GiBars method was better because it allows you to enable or disable the numeric battery through the iPhone Settings -> General ->Usuage menus. No argument there, but easier nope.

Except he didnt mention that you have to use a plist editor (which can be found on google),

Yes, I did, if you can read. In my first post in the thread, I included a PLIST editor attachment and instructions on how to use it.

5. Run Pledit.exe and open com.apple.springboard.plist
6. Add the following key to under <key>capabilities</key>

<key>SBShowBatteryLevel</key>
<true/>

Pretty straight forward.

I posted instructions to Gibar's post because the location he specified for M68AP.plist file was wrong, it was not in /System/Library/CoreServices/. It was located in /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app. He also did not specify where in M68AP.plist to add the <STRINGS>.

I attempted to make instructions for Gibar method of enabling the numeric battery easier so the average person could use it. I stole no credit from him

Giabar's mod allows you to enable or disable the numeric battery using the Settings-> General-> Usuage ->Battery Percentage [ON / OFF] menus on your iPhone 3G. Below are instructions that on how to do this:

I did not attach a PLIST editor in this post because I posted one in the very first post.

I did post instructions for re-springing which can be done using WinSCP terminal commands

killall SpringBoard

Giabar, this is not directed at you. I liked your method of enabling the numeric battery better than mine. It is directed at KillerChris1213 who after 2 posts either can not read or comprehend.

Modmyi is supposed to be a forum where others help others, not a place where idiots attack people's post, especially when they don't bother to read the entire post. Offer constructive critism or go somewhere else.

I don't have memoryinfo installed, but yes I have noticed this problem. I have SysInfoPlus (Cydia) installed and it reports a different battery percentage number than the actual battery percent number.

ok is there a fix for this

also

if I use the cydia app "show battery percentage" with the repo source [iphone.org.hk], thats to show

when i have that on in settings,general,usage, battery percentage, when its on, and i check sbsettings/extras & options, the numeric battery is on in sbsettings to and if i turn it off there it will turn of in show battery percentage settings too

but in the other cydya app

asBattery when its on in settings, it is off in sbettings


but asBattery is 3% off as well

the only accurate one is "show battery percentage" but that turns on sbsettings option to

so i donk know


how can I fix the one you posted so its accurate?
