Heres how to display battery percentage in Android 4.4 KitKat | Don’t you sometimes wish you could see exactly how much percentage of your battery juice is left on your Android smartphone? When the battery drops to critical levels every percentage point makes a difference, but unfortunately by default you cannot see the battery percentage on Android. Luckily, changing that is not too complicated, and it’s something that Google is already working on, so chances are this will likely become much easier in future Android versions. The simpler way is via the Battery Percentage for KitKat app Right now, the battery percentage fix is confirmed to work with the newest Android 4.4 KitKat devices only. There are two ways to do it. The first one is the simpler one - you just go on Google Play and download the Battery Percentage for KitKat app by kroegerama (it’s free). You don’t even need to start the app after that - you’ll have battery percentage right away. What this app does is basically expose the battery percentage that Google has encoded in Android, and interestingly, it will only show after your battery drops below 50%. It makes sense for most people that won’t really care about exact battery percentage levels until their phone starts crossing a certain critical threshold. It’s worth mentioning that the percentage will stay even if you uninstall the app afterwards, and if you want to revert to just the battery icon, you have to open the app and disable the checkbox. The end result is right below, and so is a download link for the app:
