Battery percentage display on the 5G iPod touch?

[tonyr6]

I am getting sick of every freaking tweak requiring a stupid jailbreak. Battery percentage is something I should be able to enable.

Other than that I LOVE!!!! My IPT5G

Mute would not helpful anyway. I can still hear music playing when the volume is all the way down.

I read about the whole backup thing. How do you get the battery percent backup, though? JAILBREAK.

This is one of those inexplicable things Apple occasionally does.

There's absolutely no reason to not have battery percentage available on the iPod touch, yet they went out of their way to disable it.

Do they want people to not panic when they see the percentage going down very quickly? back in the iPod Touch 1g, 2g, 3g days I could see this, but battery life issues are pretty much gone in the last two generations.

So I don't get it.

I understand when it comes to the earlier iPods, but with the 5G, why is there no battery percentage? It makes no ****ing sense.

That is what I never understood! Why can't the iPod touch have that? At first I thought it was a "slow hardware" problem However the iPod touch 5 has the power of the 4S!? so why not put it on?

Here is one little trick you can do. Go to settings and set it so triple clicking the home button turns on voiceover, then whenever you want to check the battery triple click the home button and tap the battery icon, it will say the percentage. Triple click again to turn it off.
