Percent symbol not showing in watch battery

Watch Face Studio
1

After a new Wear OS update, the percent symbol on watch battery text is no longer showing on the watch. For example it’s now showing 99 instead of 99%.

What can I do to make the percent symbol to show again?

The % is up to the complication. The WFS has it showing as an exemplar because that is what it used to be. This is very difficult to fix because if you put it in manually and then the Complication gets updated to add the % symbol it will again be wrong.
What I would suggest is below the number put a text box in that has text percentage. But again that may not be a good work around.

Hopefully the complication author will change back to adding the % sign.

Thank you Ron for your reply. Now I just have to replace the % symbol with a bitmap image, and make the battery text to align to the right so it won’t move over the % image symbol.

Great idea, I hadn’t thought of using the bitmap % to block it I’ll make a note of it.

What if I want to do exactly the opposite , is there a way to hide the % sign and just get the number shown ?

The issue is that the WFS exemplar for Short Text, Long Text and Ranged Value complications shows the % sign as the actual complication originally did. A while ago the complication changed and no longer shows the % sign.

Just ignore it in your run window.
Or if you are using BitMap Fonts do not include a bitmap for the % in a custom string setting

The showing or not showing on the Watch is subject to change so I’d personally not use a complication. Instead I’d use my own text box and image or progress bar and text so I’d be sure it was consistent.

I can see now that covering the percent symbol with a bitmap image is useless, because Google Pixel Watch now doesn’t show percentage symbol on the battery but Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 still shows the percentage symbol.

The best solution is to just use tags and create your own display. :slight_smile: I think Battery level is one of those things that most everyone with a smart watch wants to check easily.
