My girlfriend bought a used iPhone 4s several months ago, and soon after noticed that the battery indicator didn't reflect the real charge. Sometimes it would switch off at 28%, and other times the battery indicator would go from fully charged to almost nothing in a very short period, without using any battery hungry apps. Even when the indicator seemed to work properly the battery would only last a few hours under regular use.Â
The problem remained after I upgraded the phone to iOS7, so I figured the battery was just on its last legs. However, today she had a brand new battery fitted (probably off-brand, as she had it replaced in a technology market in Bangkok), and the problem persists. The phone switched off when the indicator read 30%. Â
what could be causing an indicator problem that persists with different batteries?
I've got a Nokia N95 with the latest 35.0.002 firmware and a brand new genuine Nokia BL-5F battery. When I first got the battery I cycled it twice to calibrate the gauge as recommended. However, it shows 100% 7 bars until the battery is almost discharged, when it will drop about a bar every 10 minutes until it no longer switches on. This is quite annoying as I don't know how much battery I have left. I'd like it to stop lying to me and drop steadily according to how much charge is left. Also, if I discharge the battery a bit by, say, browing the web so the battery gauge is still showing full and then plug the charger in for a few seconds and unplug it again, it then shows me the true battery level by dropping a couple of bars. However, it will get "stuck" at this level until the charger is connected and disconnected again.It shows full for about two days of heavy usage - WiFi, 3G, GPS and all that, upon when the gauge drops. Is there a way to calibrate it better or should I flash the phone again? Or is the battery faulty?
Since have charging issues with the original cable that came with my phone breaking and getting a new phone my phone has not been accurately showing the battery usage below 60% it just cuts off there. Time wise it seems to be wearing down at a normal rate though. How do I remedy this issue?
The Battery usage graph is way inaccurate. One Day is represented by couple of lines as compared to showing the full chart The start date is 20th March.
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.
Whenever I do a battery pull my battery indication after reinsertion reads 0% and shows the battery as red. My battery indicator before the battery pull will read anywhere from 80% to 50% but after the battery pull the indicator changes to read zero and is shown in red. If I don't charge the phone it will die even though prior to the battery pull the charge was fine at 80% or so...
I'm pulling the battery because of memory shortages. I HAVE replaced the battery and I still get the same problem. Pulling the battery after this happens changes nothing. I've pulled the battery numerous times afterwards and I never get the battery indicator to read what it did before the battery pull. I don't dare pull the battery if I'm not near my charger as the phone will die in a matter of minutes...
My earphones are causing my phone to go haywire...starts skipping music and going to voice all by itself...this happens when i'm working out...any suggestions??
My iphone 5 battery indicator shows a very rapidly draining battery. The other day it showed less than 5% remaining power. I plugged it in, and within two seconds my power level was almost 40%.Â
When the indicator gets too low (it's random -- might be 10%, might be 1%), the phone will power off. Again, if I plug it in, at reboot it will show about 40% power.Â
a new icon appeared to the left of the battery indicator. It's a little white phone with some dots under it. I,be had an iPhone for 6 years and have never had this before.Â
I have iphone 5 ,my battery indicator doesn't get working,when I am charging my iphone it says 4% charging in lock screen and my battery indicator at red level.
And I have charged for more than 2 hours,but the indicator and percentage are still in the same level.But my phone has been charged,since I can use my phone for nearly 1 and half day with that same level.If I restart my phone ,the indicator and percentage are changed .I am weird with this condition.
Because I don't know when will my iphone goes down.
The problem is that my battery indicator stays full all the time. Battery life is OK (2-3 days) but is very annoying cause I don't know the battery level. It pass from max level directly to 1line and shortly the phone switch off.I tried 3 kind of firmwares (including last one 410.21.010), charging phone in different ways, different chargers, hard reset etc. and nothing.The phone is new (2 weeks of use) but no warranty.Any solution?
I have this peculiar problem for the past two months alone...every time i restart my phone - N82 the battery indicator drops by a point...sometimes two...also the indicator is not stable...it shows 4 points remaining but as soon as i turn on gprs it shows battery low!! can some one help...i've been breaking my head for the past 2 months with energy profiler...tried to find out a reason but nothing was making any point...also say after 2 or 3 days of continuous usage there are spikes in the energy consumption corresponding to spikes in cpu usage...but when i restart things are normal.
Normally I charge my battery on my bold 9780 every other day. To my supprise the battery indicator stayed on 100% for 3-4 days until it suddenly closed down while using it, saying battery was low...(not exact message). I charged it to 50% but after a day it is reading 50% still.
I have been using my phone for a few days now. So far it's pretty good. I've only got a few minor problems, but they are annoying me.
1-Battery indicator shows five bars all day, until I turn the phone off and on again and then goes down to three. I did that just now and after a few minutes it went back up to four bars. Is this a common problem?
2-this is for any vodafone users, my vodafone app manager always asks to be updated whenever I go into it, but it's at the latest version. any ideas on how to get it to stop?
My battery Inidcator in the top right of the screen on my nokia e72 is always full and never drops?I installed Ion Battery Timer and it says battery was at 57% after a day or so of usage. but meanwhile the battery indicator says it full?
Ive tried flashing and hard-resetting the phone but nothing changes?
Ive owned the phone since the first of feb this year, and just noticed this now.
My girlfriend has a problem with her blackberry torch. Last night her phone felled out of her bed (20cm.). Well, there wasn't any weird behavior. WASN'T! Because after a few hours her phone displayed "Your battery is low and your phone will turn off", but the indicator in the right corner said it was charged for 60%, After rebooting and a factory reset nothing changed. Sometimes it works for a few minutes, and then it shut down again.
Over the last couple days, my phone will randomly pretend it has ran out of battery at about 55% on the battery indicator.  It seems to be getting stuck in some boot problem after it shuts down where,  after turning it on, it decides to immediatly shut down. To get out of this annoying problem, I have to connect my phone to the charger where it says it has 0%.  The battery life seems to last about 2 hours to 3 hours. And I have tried removing SIM and SD card, but it doesn't seem to matter.
Has anyone else had a problem where the battery notification icon says 100% even when the actual power is much much lower? I noticed this the other day after watching my Slingbox for over an hour, which should drop the battery way down, and it still said 100%. The "My Device" battery page also said 100%. I did a restart, and it instantly went to 47% and then continued to function normally. It's done this several times, and seems to get stuck only at 100%. Also, when in this mode, it won't charge. When I plug it in I get a message "Battery 100% charged
Ever since I initially charged my XOOM the battery indicator shows 100% full, never shows any discharge & just shuts down when the battery is flat with no warning, any ideas, still under warranty.
I notice in some screen shots that people post that they have a Battery Level Indicator. I have seen these on the graphs from settings/about phone/battery usage.I don't have this indicator. The only time I see a battery level is when charging.
I have had my X6 16GB for just over a year on a contract with O2, now I've not really had any problems with it, few bugs etc but nothing major. Recently out of the blue however it's decided it doesn't want to charge, the phone will show the charging indicator when the charger is plugged in however it will not charge the battery, then the battery will completely drain and I can no longer power the phone on.
The phone has a 2 year warranty and has just under a year left so it was sent back to O2 who have just said it is "Beyond economical repair" and sent me a broken phone back which is no use to me at all. I've had Nokia's for as long as I can remember but I'm not really quite sure what I'm to do with this one as at the moment it's a useless paper weight.
I heard that for some phones its possible to have a green led indicator come on when the phone is finished charging. I was wondering if its possible for my 9700 and if so, how can I do that.
