Turn off the battery percentage?

**mark1914** · 12-07-2010, 11:29 AM

I don't know if I have OCD now or what but that battery percentage meter on my iphone freaks me out. When it drops to even 80% I run to charge it. My phone does have battery drain but that meter is making me paranoid. How do I turn it off?
I have a jailbroken/unlocked 3g running 3.1.3

I don't have that on/off toggle when I go to settings-usage. I unlocked mine with ultrasnow.

yup lol

Went to Cydia then packages. Nothing about battery meter or percentages. Let's see there's something Terminal, Erica Utilities, T-Mobile Postpaid

Masybe erica

**mark1914** · 12-07-2010, 12:22 PM

So erase Erica utilities?

**Cowboy** · 12-07-2010, 12:23 PM

yes or just go into erica and turn battery percentage off

If you've got a 3G, then the battery percentage was added by some jailbroken means, whether that was your jailbreak tool itself or something else, since the toggle in Settings doesn't appear unless you're on a 3GS or greater. It could be as simple as SBSettings - swipe, tap More, tap System Options, check if "Numeric Battery" is enabled. If so, disable it. Probably requires a respring to take effect.

If you have it installed, swipe the status bar left or right to open the menu. If it's not installed then my instructions won't help you.

Sadly, I dont have it installed. I swiped the status bar both ways and nothing. Dang.
