any way to get a battery % on the icon?

got used to this with my iphone. nice to know just where you stand without eyeballing a 20pixel icon.

Is it possible? without going into settings of course.

good call. I actually went with this one

Battery Level for WP8 | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

the other said it doesn't always update?

In any case, this seems real good. Id rather not use a tile on my homescreen, but itll work. It also shows up on the lock screen which is great.
