Changes on the Battery indicator in the 8.5 update

[Robin621k]

It seems Samsung has listened to Feedback about the awful battery pill, in Ui 8.5 you will now be able to turn off the pill and just have the percentage.

Yippee Ki-yay!

Okay that's great to know but me personally it's a no for me cause I don't trust samsung at all

As is your right. I don't want any carrier bloat on my phone.

I like bang for the buck!

Samsung should give a few options in good lock to change states bar icons including battery icons. Current icons are small and bars are barely visible. They need to be slightly bigger and bolder. For example it's hard to see how many bars you have on wifi and mobile network unless you oay really close attention to bars or bring phone close to you face.

That I don't care about, I turn those off with QuickStar. I am using Nova Launcher, status icons are on the pull down. I don't need to see them.

Third party launchers are unnsable garbage for me now specially after that 1 second unresponsiveness after you return to homescreen.

I have not experienced what you are describing. I happen to like the flexibility of having what ever grid I want. I use a 7x10 grid. Transition effects are amazing. No problems with animations

Lolwut? This is long known issue even Nova had to clarify from their end that it can't be fixed.

Try tapping any icon immediately after returning to home screen on any third party launcher and it won't respite until about 1 sec.

Here is the screenshot to explain what am I talking about.

That doesn't bother me at all. I am not a freak over small stuff. I am not one of those that do that ridiculous open and closing of apps rapidly to look for minimum stutter to the animations. No one uses their phone that way.

[AlienX]

M'Kay. But they why are being a freak about Battery icon? 🤦‍♂️

[Robin621k]

There is a difference between animation stutter and not being able to " READ SOMETHING" due to physical limitation.
