ITs a great idea, but if Im charging my earbuds across the room, how can I see if they’re fully charged or not. Makes this useless. Also my phone already displays the battery percent. I don’t nbeed redundant displays for that.
IR would be great for this to work on a watch too, so that I can check on my phone or tablet or earbuds from my watch which is the device I charge least.
I also found that if you use a launcher like Go Launcher this widget will not go on the screen. Too bad Samsung won’t let me customize the phone like I want and can with a launcher.
My only complaint is that we can’t turn off the phone bubble. I don’t need to display my phone battery as it already shows in the top right corner, I wish I could turn it off and just keep my earbuds battery level.
I like the new battery widget on my S22 Ultra. It detects my Watch 5 Pro and Buds2 Prod, but it doesn’t detect my Tab S8+ SM-X800, which would gave been nice. Perhaps the Tab S8+ needs to be running UI 5.1 as well? Still on 5.0.

ALmost there but needs the kinks worked out.
Thanks for sharing your perspective.

Totally agree with you. 🙂

Yes, you must be using OneUI 5.1 to get access to this widget.
