Hi I have a hudl 2 and I can't find a setting that will allow me to display my battery level as a percentage next to my battery icon, can anyone help?

Thanks

Is there not an option to display it in your battery settings? Click on battery and scroll to the botom where all the apps that are using the battery are listed, is there no tick box?

You cannot (easily) natively display battery percent on kitkat.

You can get it displayed but involves some advance mods using a PC - see

http://nexus7.wonderhowto.com/how-to...ablet-0149770/

Even then, the % is shown in white in the black used portion of the battery which means you cant see it until batter is discharged to about 50%.

However, it is simply much easier to use a third party app from google playstore.
"battery percent enabler" works on kitkat,

I am have no problem being told I am wrong but my info is based on the URL I provide, and my experience. Certainly on my kitkat devices i cannot set the battery %.

However just to say I am wrong but no explanation is pointless so please elaborate and tell me why?

on my tab s (running 4.4.2) you just go to: settings, general, battery and tick the box! from memory my hudl 1,2, tab 4, s4 & note 4 were all very similar. - even when i tried one of the pieces of cr@p from Ideal world it was very similar.

Clearly - this is not standard across all devices.
