Battery Widget with just the phone percentage

[SuzieS]

Nice that they added widgets where you can display all of your galaxy device power levels. However I just want one for my phone. I can't alter the existing widgets to only show one icon for the phone. The reason I need the widget at all is because I find it hard to read the upper right icon now that the percentage is incorporated into the little battery instead of being displayed off to the side.

The original post's title is about percentages. You responded. Please go dog someone else.

Mine doesn't work like that when I change the settings you show.

It looks like you turned the transparency slider all the way to the right, not to the left.  100% transparency would be to the left.  I am, as you may have noticed, still on OneUI6.1, so some settings might be a little different, but the transparency has always been consistent with total transparency to the left and full solidity to the right.

Transparency does not seem to be working on this widget. I think they have a new widget out there currently that is buggy. If your Transparency works you may have a different version than I do.

Do you want to add the widget because you need to see the battery level?  Do you need to see the battery level to determine when it's time to charge?  If you want to know when it's time to charge, see my post above to set a routine to notify you that the battery is low.  Using a routine also has the advantage of not cluttering up your screen space and you don't have to constant glance at your phone to see the level. Set it and forget it. Interesting that they seem to have designed OneUI7 so you can have a streamlined home screen but fudged the transparency levels.

It does not function currently as I experience the same thing regardless of the transparency setting; it simply remains static. I think once the whole UI 7.0 beta is finalized to be released for the earlier Galaxy/Fold, etc models, then the S25 series will (hopefully) be updated as well. The pill status icon showing the battery level with a white background using black fonts is a big issue with many users. One of the forum leaders here who was part of the beta said that was in the beta frump big time. They need to allow the changing of the contrast or go back to white fonts with no background.

In the meantime, the suggestion to sue the widget isa  good one until this is addressed overall.

If you only want to know when you are at a level where you need to start thinking about finding a charger, you can create a routine to send/read a notification to charge when the battery goes below a certain percent.

So the reasons i want to see the percentage is because I can't easily read the default icon in the top right thet provided. Sure I could create a series of routines to notify me every 5 percentage points or so. But that is a complex solution. I could also magnify the screen when I want to see this value. But again, complex... I was looking for a "glance" type of solution that a widget should provide me. I have the 7.0 version of the one UI by the way. Sounds like I may just have to wait.

So, you want to look at how fast your battery is depleting, rather than just knowing when it was low. Since so many people are complaining about the fact that they can't read the battery percentage, I think that they probably will do something about it eventually. As far as the widget goes, I don't know why they don't have a singular widget as they do for other things. Seems rather silly.  You might be able to accelerate the process of getting either the icon or the widget changed by sending feedback via the support tab of the members app.  This gets right to the attention of the developers, and I think the more "gnats" they have buzzing about it, it will get addressed faster since the developers do not read the forums.
