Basically what the title says it would be nice to have the option to see at a glance the battery percentage in numbers ,instead of having just an icon of the connected device with bullets indicating the percentage and the full text percentage hidden in the gnome Bluetooth menu .

i'm using a custom shell theme , whitsur gtk theme

Greetings and thank you for this great extension,

I'm using version 5 right now, and every time I lock my laptop and then unlock, the extension crashes. Here's the error it shows from Extension Manager. I am on Fedora 39 Gnome 45.3 on Wayland. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

All bluetooth devices are duplicated on the QuickSettings BT section:

Gnome 46
ArchLinux

As per title,

Had to set both Experimental and KernelExperimental to true in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf to get this to work.
On Debian Trixie.

I'm not sure if this is the Gnome bug, bluez bug or extension bug.
But I will report it.

My headphones are automatically connected, but it shows as disconnected in Gnome settings & as a result, extension mirrors this status too.
However, it still shows battery percent of the headphone, as a proof that headphones are actually connected.

Fedora Silverblue 39
Gnome 45.5
Extension v14

When I manually connect the headphones, I don't have this issue. So this only happens when headphones are automatically connected.

May I ask if the author can provide a Windows version? Currently, your UI design is the most perfect.

How to read Apple levels - need to parse manufacturer_data

I have created a version compatible with GNOME 42 -44.
It is under the branch GNOME43-44 https://github.com/maniacx/Bluetooth-Battery-Meter/tree/GNOME42-44

Kindly give feedback here, if extension extension works or has some issues/bugs, so that I can submit it for review at Gnome extension website.

To install run ./install.sh.

Don;t know how to install? Read this post #13 (comment)

I have tested it briefy on running Gnome 43 and 44 on Live iso, But cannot test for long as I do not have GNOME43 or GNOME44 as my daily distro. Any help in testing would be appreciated.
Thank you.

So, today I accidentally opened Gnome's power manager with my phones connected and was surprised to know that Gnome's settings report the charges of connected bluetooth devices - moreover, connected phones! I've never seen that done anywhere else, especially with a 2009 dumbphone. So I poked around for a bit and figured out that these devices are (roughly) reported by UPower. Seeing the charge of your phone over Bluetooth could be useful if you're not able to install KDE Connect on it.

P.S. Also, maybe, some kind of device class or MAC based blacklist would be useful for those who do not want to see said charge?

Hello

I have sony wf-c700n

On android phone it shows case charge level and also charge level for left and right headphone

Is it possible on linux?

Hi and thank you for this extension!

I recently started to use Battery Health Charging and one article about the Bluetooth Battery Meter extension popped the other days. I was previously using the Bluetooth Quick Connect extension, which kinda does the same thing, but yours is more up to date and will probably be maintained for a longer time.

It seems, at least on my side, that I have a display issue when the device's battery is 100%. This happens with/without the Large Text accessibility feature.

With Large Text on:

With Large Text off:

I changed the css width to 2.6em, and it seems to work, but not sure if that's the proper fix:

.bbm-label-percentage {
  width: 2.6em;
}

Maybe different distros use different UI fonts and this issue appears only on some of them... A general solution would be nice.

I have a Logitech mouse that this extension has in the past shown the battery level for. It does not seem to be showing it any more.

I am using Fedora 40 which includes GNOME 46 and is fully up-to-date.

Here's what the Bluetooth quick-settings menu looks like currently:

It used to show the battery level for that exact same mouse. It no longer does (obviously).

Here's the About info for the extension:

First of all, i love this extension, thank you for providing it.

After reading that you created a backport for Gnome43-44, i wonder if you could create a backport for Gnome 42.9. This is the current version used in latest Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, which is, by far, the most used distribution and version around.
This would also enable me to use it on a few work-related notebooks :)

I tried to run that branch, but if fails, so i suppose its probably not compatible at all.

Thx

Thank you.

Expected Behavior:
When Bluetooth is disabled, the battery percentage for connected devices should no longer be displayed.

Actual Behavior:
After disabling Bluetooth, the battery percentage for previously connected devices remains displayed.

Operating System: Fedora 40
Desktop Environment: Gnome 46
