How to Enable Battery Percentage Indicator in iPhone 3G/iPhone 2G running iPhone OS 3.0
How to Enable Battery Percentage Indicator in iPhone 3G/iPhone 2G running iPhone OS 3.0
When we had described some of the 100 new features in iPhone OS 3.0, we had mentioned that users will get the option to see the remaining battery power in percentage. But when iPhone OS 3.0 was released, we found out that this feature was strangely available only to iPhone...

Erm, I have a 3G and mine has shown the percentage from the moment I updated to 3.0.
-
I also have a 3G and it has shown the percentage since the update to 3.0.
-
Did you guys enable it using SBSettings before upgrading to iPhone OS 3.0? As that could be the reason it's available after the upgrade.
-
I already know it and was working before 3.0
oh well thank you -
Got a 2g and i been did this since last month
-
Mine didn't have after updating to fw3.
I never activated SBS.
Anyways thanks for this helpful tip. -
I know people with new 3GS phones that don't have numerical battery enabled.
My 3G was jailbroken within a month of getting it last year. I used Bossprefs to enable the numerical battery. Very very simple to do.
I left my phone jailbroken, and when I upgraded to 3.0, the numerical battery was there before I re-jailbroke it.
There is a major difference between the pre 3.0 and 3.0 versions. The pre 3.0 version featured the standard battery that when touched would convert to a number. After getting 3.0, the battery would remain there AND the number would be to the left of it with a NEW % sign that wasn't on pre 3.0.

finally.! thanks!
-
worked perfectly.!
-
Oh... that might explain it... Ya I had my phone jailbroken and enabled via SBSettings before i upgraded to 3.0.
-
yea but i restored it. the partition was wiped. there is NO way that could be it.
-
this is bs. I have a non jalikbroken iphone on 3.0 and have the bat percentage on it. It wasnt working til i synced it after a restore but is perfect. No jailbreaking or applications involved
-
Had u jailbroken your iPhone and enabled it using SBSettings prior to upgrading to iPhone OS 3.0?
That could be the reason.
-
works great
-
Battery percentage worked on my 3G as soon as
I upgraded to 3.0...and I only jailbroke a week later.
In reponse to above replies...How could a previous jailbreak have any effect
on a freshly installed OS?
That makes no sense to me. -
used the asBattery works just fine :) thanks
-
It's simple. It somehow saves the settings. Dont believe me? Use the JB App "Categories" and put all your apps in it. Restore your phone, JB it again, and your apps will be missing! The only way to get them back is if you didnt have poof in the Category as well and you have to "unhide" all the apps. The phone restores the setting. think about it. It's jailbroken, you back it up, you update, you restore... It's only purely reasonable that the JB settings prior to an update are restored in the files as well. Hah, think before you talk people.
-
;-) true.
-
If you restored from back up then yes it could have. The back up saves tons of settings including jb stuff.
-
Restoring doesn't wipe the partion or delete anything. It's all still on your phone. The only way to wipe out anything is go to settings, general, reset, and erase all content. This takes a few hours.
-
You can also enable It through Carrier...plus you can change your carrier name like MIM
-
I prefer the old way. I liked how I could touch the battery and it would change back and forth, but not be stuck with both.
-
Finally I've realized why it is not for iPhone 2G.
Actually "asBattery" works fine on iPhone 2G if "ActivateMMS2G" hasn't been installed.
"asBattery" works with a file "M68AP.plist", but the application "ActivateMMS2G" also has to use it. With installed "ActivateMMS2G", "asBattery" installation will be failed & the iPhone will be freeze if you try to restart the OS.
iPhone 3G doesn't have this problem because it comes with native MMS function, you will never need to install "ActivateMMS2G".
So the conclusion is:
iPhone 2G users can only enable either MMS function or numeric battery indicator, but not both of them at the same time in this case. -
i already had mms activated n afta installin asbattery on my 2g iphone it wint boot any ideas
-
the asbattery doesn't work on 2G,when I restart my phone it got stuck at the apple logo.End up I've to restore my phone.
-

-

-

-

-
