Battery pill

Very disappointed that the ugly and almost universally hated battery pill is still here.

Agreed, it still is awful!

Not a good look!

I've learned over time that Robin621k can be counted on for excellent advice.

I once took issue with you about the contact info on the lock screen. You were absolutely correct. Contact info only shows when extend unlock turns off.

Also, the QuickStar (and Home Up) plugin is not functional in the beta. so their might be an update that allows changes to that (fingers crossed). It does seem a little larger though, but the contrast is eye breaking for me!

What don't you like about it? I personally prefer it to what we had on older OneUI versions.

I think it's ugly, apparently you like it. That doesn't mean either one of us is wrong. I feel the pill is redundant. Just show us the percentage in numerals.

I always forget that most Goodlock modules don't work in beta. It's jarring when you're used to having them employed

I like the pill because I don't always have my eyeglasses nearby and can easily tell by looking at the pill more often than the numbers.

When you can't read it, it's a problem. Considering Samsung's user base tends to skew older, the battery pill shouldn't have been designed by someone who doesn't wear reading glasses.

How much did I hate it, I removed it with QuickStar and put a battery widget on Homescreen and found a great 3rd party app to a widget on my Lockscreen and AOD that is legible!

I just wanna customize it at this point with a good lock module

You should read the main members board. It is almost universally disliked.

Samsung needs to remember that at least in the US who their customer base are.
They skew older.
