I HATE the newest battery icon. 

The old one was so much better. I hate the little pill thing. Not because I cant read it, but mostly because it looks almost exactly like Apple's phones. I switched over to Samsung/android so I could get the new (now old) battery icon. I loved the old battery. It was so much better. Why did Samsung change it anyway? It doesn't make sense. Its STUPID. I miss the old one. Please BRING IT BACK!!

Sorry, but it looks like the old battery icon is gone for good. If you can't read the icon in the corner, it's recommended to add the battery widget to your home screen so you can see your battery percentage.

Sorry to read you switched over just for the battery's Percentage Icon, as I won't have gone that far-  But I can understand your preference because the older version somehow made the upward glance more accurate? I think because the second digit was not transparent which I still find annoyingly noticeable. However, I won't lose sleep over it as something else is bound to replace it in the near future.

Nah, the font you have going doesn't look good with the new battery but the previous batter icon was outdated and ugly

Sorry, but the new one just looks much better and has a more modern appeal to it. The old one however still looks great for older versions as it fits their general design

I agree! The new icon is terrible and hard to see.
I think they should develop a color coded icon... Green=full - Amber=half - Red=low or let us customize our own icon to our liking through goodlock.
