IPhone :: Battery Meter Misleading
Apr 6, 2010
Sorry if this has been addressed already; I did a quick search and didn’t find an answer to my problem. Feel free to point me to the relevant thread if I missed it.We have two iPhones, and both are now experiencing the same problem. The battery meter shows that the battery is fully charged, but then all of a sudden the phone complains that it’s out of charge and dies. While the battery doesn’t last quite as long as it used to, it still seems to last a couple of days (for my normal usage) between charges. It just doesn’t give notice that the charge is going down, which is a problem if we’re not paying attention.
Is anyone else having this problem? Both our phones are doing the same thing now. Any fixes? Is this a sign that our batteries are dying?

just jailbroke today with Spirit on my 3GS 3.13. My battery will show an amount like 89 then jump up to 98. What is going on here? If I shut it off it will go back down then jump right back up.

In the past few days I've noticed my battery has been on 100% alot lately. I was thinking that I just have a great battery until it started dying for no reason. I thought I had a full charge. Now I realize that even though the meter says 100%, I really don't know how much battery life I have left. I have drained the battery and then recharged fully, rebooted, and it didn't seem to change anything. When draining the battery, I noticed that when it went into the shutdown process, A quick look at the battey meter showed that it said it was at 1% before it shut down. The battery life is fine I think. It will go for a long time before dying but it never leaves 100%.

Just wondering if anyone else notices that when they first turn on (power up) their 3GS the battery meter reads really low, like below 20% sometimes, but then after 5 seconds or so will correct and read what it actually is, i.e. 50%.I thought this may be due to jailbreaking but after restoring it still happens. It will even occur first thing in the morning after I have just fully charged my phone but the discrepancy between the initial read and the actual read seems to grow throughout the day. For instance this morning the difference was only 6% where as right now it is 22% (shows 28% then goes to 50%).
I am going to run the phone until it dies today and then try fully charging it to see if that solves it. Any other suggestions/recommendations are welcome.

My battery meter has been on 25% now for nearly half a day. Even when i restart my Berry its still the same. Is that an accurate reading? Its brand new and still on its first charge.

This happened to me a few times now now. A couple of weeks ago and yesterday. Both times I was using the network connection as wifi was not available. I used the repair feature within pc companion, but it happened again last night. It should be noted that the phone was fully charged, turned off, turned on during my lunch break and in use for only approx 20 mins.

Nokia Battery Meter for S60v5 is missing from Nokia Store, there is one Qt version for Symbian^3 devices. So a new update is coming or it has been permanently withdrawn? My device is X6 16GB.

The battery monitor on my Zoom seems to be stuck at 100%. I have been using it for a couple of hours and it is still showing a full charge. Currently in JB. Anyone else experienced this?

It's happened to me a couple times now. I just got this 9700 and it doesn't even warn me the battery is low, it actually has a bar or two in the battery icon and it just completely dies, so I have to plug it in to the USB and wait 5 minutes for it to start up, THEN it says it has a low battery. The phone has a generic wall charger.

Used the new Moto Turbo Charger (Quick Charge 2.0) charger with success on my M8 when it was Sense.Now I've converted it to a GPE edition, and 2 of the 3 times I've used the charger since, the battery meter becomes stuck during/after the charge. Once at 64%, once at 80%. Restarting the phone gets it working again.
So I'm thinking the battery has become uncalibrated? Would draining it to 0%, then charging it non stop to 100% be away to fix this?One site said wipe the cache partition and Dalvik cache. Another suggested something with both volume keys that wipes the battery memory.

This question may apply to lithium cell phone batteries in general, or at least to more than one phone.I just got a used VX4400 with two batteries. One of them goes dead very quickly, then recharges very quickly, then goes dead again very quickly, so I think I can assume it's toast, unless someone has some advanced tricks for reconditioning it.
The other battery shows some life, but after a few minutes of calling after a full recharge, the number of bars quickly goes down to one. But then if I leave it idle for a while, it goes back up to 3 bars. I've tried this a few times without recharging, and it keep bouncing between one and three bars.Is there a way to recalibrate the battery meter, or is this a sign that the battery is bad? Or does this phone just have a funky battery meter?

The battery meter on my Curve 9300 shows the incorrect levels, it could be showing that the battery is half full then the handheld will just shut off, I pull out the battery plug it back in then when it reboots it'll show that it only has 1/2 a bar left then die. I have nothing but Messages, Home and Phone running in the background.

random restarts - the first month i had my electrify, it would only restart itself once a week or so. now within the last couple of weeks its jumped up to around 5 times a day. i kept track of variables as the restarts happened, and it does it at any battery level and during anything im doing, such as text, pandora, Internet, in-call. my first guess is that is in app that constantly runs in the background, and i was wondering if any more experianced users could tell me where and what to look for.

Hey, my battery meter (the stock ICS one) is stuck at 90%.Did a 7 hour trip yestereday with several phone calls and when I went to system, battery it showed 90% after like 12 hours off the charger, including a hour of phone calls and I know that's not right. The phone calls do not show up as taking any power. This morning after several reboots still shows 90%.

The color of all contacts, the file, and the send button is blue, leading one to believe they are sending files via iMessage (free) vs. MMS (not free).

Kudos to the designer who made the Full Screen Battery Meter you get when you plug it in using the wall charger after it has shut down due to depleted battery. I don't know if this has always been there or if you also get it if you plug it in to your computer after a full discharge or when you plug it in to the wall charger after you power off (without depleting the battery fully). But it sure is a nice touch - a really smooth animated battery meter that fills the entire screen for the little over an hour that it takes to charge from 0% to 100%. Well done, Team MotoACTV

had my SGS2 for just a couple of days. I want to use the phone as a basic light meter for office and photographic purposes. However... having downloaded a couple of apps from the google play store I can only get 3 values what ever the lighting condition - either 10, 100 or 1000 lux - not a lot of use. By contract my son's �60 Huawei Blaze gives accurate readings to 0.1 lux

Why does it change from blue to white/gray sometimes? Whats the difference? I've noticed so far that blue is good and data might not work if it's gray.

I have already read enough of this great forum post, I hope in the future to helpbeginners like me, one day we had to IOS (formerly had a Galaxy S2) and now we are more than comfortable with my 4s!I have the cell phone constantly charging, either in the Dock, when I go to bed, Through The cable in my university (when I'm in class or on the computer in the Library), this because the phone if consuming battery (I have the iOS 5.0.1) and hate running out of battery (no phone) when I'm away from home.Then the doubt (I've already searched in many forums) is whether this is detrimental tothe battery of the phone, or simply when the iPhone detects that is loaded, just stops receiving load and nothing happens:

My iphone 4s battery was dead, so I replaced a battery bought over internet. Now when I charge the phone ( using usb cable plugged to the power outlet on the wall) on right top corner it displays "battery is charged" (battery icon with a plug) but % of charge remains at 5%.

So I returned my iPhone 4 yesterday and got shamefully put down by apple with the white announcement lol. But regardless. My 3GS has terrible battery life. Like really bad. I've barely used it today from 10am and it's at 40 percent and that's literally mostly asleep. My question is , is there any way to salvage a bad battery? By using a specific charge cycle to maybe boost it up a bit? I just need a temporary fix while I use this phone.
