Add battery percentage on top bar and lock screen.

you can suggest that in the feedback app/hub

 

[Branislav Bril]

I did already.

 

[Maurizio Troso]

I did already.

You can add a % tile via free 3rd part app

 

[Branislav Bril]

Yea but that live tile don't show right percentage.

Yea but that live tile don't show right percentage.

It's due to security closed o.s., % updates every 15 mins for all batt apps

 

[Branislav Bril]

Yea I noticed that. So there is no way to see actually % of the battery at glance screen?

 

[Kenny Mc]

Yes, simply download and install "My battery Lite" then select it on lockscreen customization options

 

[Branislav Bril]

Thanks for advice but battery percentage update every 15 min like on other apps so its useless.

I don't see the need for such up to the minute accuracy. As long as I have a general idea how much battery I have left, I'm good to go.

Why? How much does your battery drop in 15 minutes?

Mine was taking hours, sometimes not even updating overnight. I de-installed it (the one just called "Battery"), figured best-case it was just doing more harm than good.
For whatever reason, I just like the "at a glance" percentage, more than the battery gauge. I like the gauge too, but want to have a percentage app; every 15 minutes would be just fine, if mine did that. I'm on a 950XL, if anyone's wondering.
On 8.1 it worked perfectly, seemed like it was always correct, or at least as correct as a really recent reading, and didn't seem to affect my battery life either. Sure wish they could get this fixed on 10.

No, nice suggestion, give a feedback

 

[PGrey]

No, nice suggestion, give a feedback

Seconded, although I'd like to see it on the main screen too, like in 8.1.
I don't use Glance right now, it's insanely battery-intensive, unless you have it on the 30-second setting, and even then, it seemed to be nuking my battery on a regular basis.

Are you sure? I got Glance forever and I got 1 - 2 % standby draining! Check Battery app lists, wich is the culprit

Which phone you got

 

[PGrey]

950XL.
This is more or less how my phone fared. I have to admit, I turned it off probably around the 200's, haven't tried it since.

For those who need to see the percentage, how about just checking the top bar for the battery %? Just swipe down, take note and swipe back up/lock screen

 

[Branislav Bril]

Tnx for advice it's works good.

Yep, that's exactly what I've been doing, since moving from 8.1.
It's not a bad way to do it, but it's one more swipe, after unlocking, or whatever. I wish MS would fix whatever the issue is with having a tile update; 15 minutes would be great, anything for at-a-glance-percentage.
I finally uninstalled my "Battery" app, which had been so dependable, on .318, since it was often saying things like 47%, when it was 100% for several hours, and sometimes 99%, when it was down say at 38%. Yes, I had it background enabled, just like on 8.1, but it never seemed to get a time-slice, unless I opened, or maybe once or twice a day, otherwise. Sometimes it would sit, same number, all day long.
I think it's all my math/CS/physics background, something like "it's somewhere between 1/2-maybe-3/4" bugs me. It's good for a fast glance, but annoying otherwise, IMHO ;-]
