Take the default battery off! Would you guys be able to update it to take the default battery notification off?  That will bring you a worshiper lol great app
I guess you didn't read our first FAQ.  We get this request all the time.  Unfortunately, they only allow us app developers to put something in one area of the Android status bar where notifications are allowed.  They do not allow us to alter, change or remove icons that your phone or device comes with, and that includes the default battery icon.

I just wish you could have the batt lvl in the pull down menu from stat bar, without having to have the icon in the notification area. Mine is getting ridiculously cluttered, it'd be nice to have that option. 5 stars if this happens!
Yes, it would be nice.  However, the status bar numbers in Battery Notifier BT Free and Battery Notifier Pro BT are ongoing notifications, and per Android rules "Ongoing notifications cannot be manually removed from the notification drawer."  We include an option in both versions to not use the number in the status bar and just use the alarms if you wish.  But what you see in the expanded notification area is required if you want to see a battery level number in the status bar.  Beginning with Android 4.1, you will have the option with each app to not display notifications from that individual app even if that feature was not included with the app.  Hitting "Clear" every so often to clear out the "event notifications" you get can also help to keep the notification area from getting "ridiculously cluttered".

Lovely app.  Only improvement would be option to STOP CHARGING when hit battery HI (say 95%). Then it could be used for battery conditioning!!!!
Sorry, but we can't disconnect or stop the power that is applied to your phone or device from the charger.  The Android OS simply doesn't give us the "power" (sorry for the pun) to do that.  The best we can do is notify you when it reaches 95%, and then it's up to you to pull the plug on the charger.

I have set the full battery notification in your app's settings to off, and Quiet Hours is set to all day long, but the full battery notification sound still goes off!  How do I stop it???
Many phones and tablets have their own full and low battery notifications, so that even if you have notifications in Battery Notifier BT Free or Battery Notifier Pro BT set one way, your phone or tablet's notifications may be set the other way.  Read the manual for your device and check to see if it has its own built-in notifications for the battery.  See if it has settings for you to turn the notifications on or off so you can be sure you aren't getting a notification you don't want, or a second notification in addition to the ones that are in Battery Notifier BT Free and Battery Notifier Pro BT.

(Some phones and tablets don't allow you to turn their default notifications off.  If you have one of these devices, send us an e-mail and we'll try to find a solution for you.)


Verizon Galaxy Nexus Works great, well worth the purchase!  The only thing that bugs me a tiny bit is that the blue Roboto ICS color seems a little off, a touch too dark/dim.  Are you using Hex:33B5E5 / R:51 G:181 B:229?
Yes we are.  For more information on why they are dim and somewhat smaller in the status bar on some devices, please see our post on Automatic Shrinking And Dimming.
