IPhone 5 says fully charged, even though its only at 34%?

My original iPhone 5 charger broke. An internal wire had split, so I purchased a new charger. It was working fine (from flat battery to 34%) and then it stopped and showed the fully charged icon (the little plug image inside the battery in the top right). I did a hard reset and tried a different plug socket, but to no avail. Unfortunately, I don't have another charger to try it on. So I was hoping you guys can help me out with some suggestions. Thank you :)

Where did you get the 'new charger'? Is it an Apple charger, or 3rd party?
The obvious advice is to try a different charger. Plug it into the USB on your computer. Try to charge it from there.
If it doesn't work with a known good charger, make an appointment at the genius bar and get it serviced. It's still under warranty (as was the original charger that you replaced).

    From System Preferences/Help:
    Reset your login password using your Apple ID
    Before you can use your Apple ID to reset your login password, make sure that FileVault isn’t enabled on your computer.
    Also make sure that an Apple ID is associated with your user account, and that an administrator has given you permission to reset your own password using an Apple ID. For more information, see this help topic:
    Associate Apple IDs with your user account
    Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
    In the login window, click the question mark in the password field, and then click the arrow in the dialog that appears.
    Enter an Apple ID and password, and then click Reset Password.
    I don't know if it works.

  • My iphone time keeps messing up even though its on "set automatically" and i dont know how to fix it

    my iphone 5cs' time keeps messing up even though its set to "set automatically" the time doesnt change and i have no idea how to fix it. any help please?

    I'm having the EXACT same problem! I have a great wifi connection and it all started right after I updated it.
    I took it to the AT&T store and all they said that they could do for it was a "soft restart" which is where you hold down the lock button and the home button UNTIL you see the apple logo. And I did this like 4 times and it still messes up. When I turn it off and turn it on its fine for a few minutes but it slowly starts messing up again.
    And I'm also having several glitches. Like when I just received a text message when my phone was locked I slid it and put in my pass code then it like turned off and turned on my phone. And sometimes the messages that I send disappear from my side even though I sent them. If I turn it off then back on it's there. And also sometimes when I text a person and hit send it like backs me out of the messaging system(it still sends the message right then)  and back to the home screen.
    I called 1-800-myiphone and the lady did a "soft restart" which they call a "hard restart" and it worked for like 35 minutes and then it messed up again. And my iCloud isn't backing up my stuff so it's not like I can just completely reset my phone.

  • Iphone 4 keeps turning off even though its battery shows 100%

    My iphone keeps turning off although the battery is 100%. I cant turn it on because it shows that my iphone does not have any battery left. When i plug it in the computer/charge it, it turns on and shows 100%. It has never happened to me before and it just randomly had this problem today. Please help.

    This is most likely faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

  • My hardrive just got diagnosed as 'faulty' even though its only 1year8months old!!! I had adobe bridge installed on the computer with many picture files that included raw images. How can I get these raw files back after computer died?

    computer did not start up one day. it was a white screen
    took it to a mac bar and they said the diagnosis was a faulty hard drive
    I had backed up most of my images ( i am a photographer)
    had not backed up atleast 6 files full of raw images!!!!
    they suggested sending it to a data recovery specialist which would cost around $500!
    I am not getting the answers I need on how, why, or what is going to be recovered or if raw picture files will be able to be saved.
    Not sure what to do next because I dont have loads of extra money laying around to pay for something that should have not occured in the first place if I was actually sold a good computer.
    payed $1095 for this imac and it only lasted just under 2 years. I feel cheated and scammed! Has any one else gone through this same thing?? what did you do?

    If it is only 20 months old it is still covered by the 3-year Applecare.
    You did take out Applecare didn't you?
    I had backed up most of my images ( i am a photographer)
    had not backed up atleast 6 files full of raw images!!!!
    Why did you, as a photographer, not make several backups, not just one or a partial one, of your material?

  • How can we tell if the iphone is already fully charged in ios7? Even if its 100% the thunderbolt icon is still displayed. Not like in ios 6 that we will know when to unplug the charger because there is an indicator.

    How can we tell if the iphone is already fully charged in ios7? Even if its 100% the thunderbolt icon is still displayed. Not like in ios 6 that we will know when to unplug the charger because there is an indicator.

    For those who seem unfamiliar with what is being asked:
    On iOS 6 and older, just because the phone reached 100%, didn't mean it was Fully Charged. The way you could tell was the lightning bolt symbol that indicated the device was charging would change to an outlet plug when the device was not only 100%, but also stopped accepting further charge. This symbol switch would occur anywhere from 5-15 minutes after the device already was displaying 100%.
    Now, on iOS 7, while it still reaches 100% with that same lightning bolt charge symbol, during the 100% point, it never switches to the plug symbol to indicate the charge period is totally finished.
    Can anyone confirm if there is a way to see this charge completion in iOS 7 since it appears that there is no longer a symbol for it? Is there any indication that Apple may have changed the charging display so that now it only displays 100% when it would have previously displayed that plug symbol?

  • Why does I'm IPad say fully charged when its not its 92% should I get it looked at by a professional ?

    My IPad is at 92% and I plug it in and it says fully charged but its not. Should I get it looked at ?

    The battery meter is really just an estimate
    However, you can calibrate it
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    some thing is runnng in the back ground. Or your email is struck. Deleted all emails and reboot phone and add them one by one. Or your sim cards has problem. Replace sim card. If nothing works drain battery then recharge battery to 100% full charge.
