1020 Battery Indicator Dipped & Recovered After Re...

I've a month old Lumia 1020, among the first few in my country to own the phone during a prelaunch sales.
I've had this battery indicator issue since I've been using the phone, but it only occurs intermittently.
I charge the phone using Qi charger, usually JBL speaker if not the stand.
Right after full charge & removed from the charger, the battery drops very fast until 68% in less than 30min then it stays at that level for as long as I let it idle.
Once I restart the phone, the battery indicator will jump right back to 100%, this puzzles me as I thought something is draining the battery real fast (I was suspecting Skydrive backup but it happens even i didn't enable data/WiFi).
The restart recovery of the battery indicator cleared my doubt on apps draining the battery, no apps were draining it but the indicator was incorrectly shown.
I'm not sure if this is just a bug in Windows Phone, my Lumia 920 doesn't have this issue.
Anyone else has this problem?

doesn't work after monitoring it for 2 weeks with a few soft resets in between.
still happening intermittently, apparently i'm not the only one having this issue as there're a few threads were created but unattended with any response.
seems like a bug in the firmware to me & maybe phone dependant.

3G issues and battery indicator on ios 6.1

Since upgraded to iOS 6.1, I can't seems to use 3G in my iphone4s and iPhone5..No matter how many times I tried to turn off and on the 3G from the setting app, it failed to get 3G. I had to restart my iPhone repeatedly to use 3G.
Also the battery indicator drop drastically after a full recharge. I plug of my iPhone4s and iphone5 from charger and just within few minutes, battery drop to 97%.
I had to switch off my iPhone and turn it back on then only the battery indicator go back to 100%.

Hi shldr2thewheel, thanks. But these issues were what Apple said would be solved...these upgrades always disturbe other itens.
It´s like my last upgrade (to 6.1.2), there wasn´t any note adressed to 3G or Wi-fi connection, but it destroyed them.
I would like to know if someone had the same problem with Internet connection and battery life and afterward upgrade it to iOS 6.1.3 has got rid of them.
I will not upgrade to iOS 6.1.3 with no sure about the improvement. There are many people complaining regarding these same issues after 6.1.3.
Thank you any way.

Battery indicator woes?

So, I have set in my Energy prefs the display of the battery life in the Menu Bar.
I inserted a fully charged NEW battery in the iBook , and the indicator first read 6:10 (time left) then 4:51, then settled on 5:02 time left. What gives?

I would suggest calibrating the battery in your iBook, since it is the iBook's interaction with the battery which enables the accuracy of the battery indicator.
If the battery indicator remains inaccurate after calibration in your iBook, then I would wonder if you have received a faulty battery.

Extreme anomaly with iPod Touch battery indicator

I have a 1st generation iPod Touch running iOS 3.1.3. I never noticed a problem with the battery indicator before. After last night, however, there seemed to be a tremendous (albeit temporary) anomaly with the battery indicator. I googled it, but found that most fluctuations in the battery indicator were random and minor compared to what I saw. Some were due to extreme power draw on the battery. None of what I found matched my rather unusual circumstances.
Here are the cirumstances. I live in a noisy apartment building, so I repeated play a noise track on the iTouch to mask out the noise from other dwellings. The iTouch is docked onto a mini boombox, RCA's RCD175i (http://tinyurl.com/bolurw7), which charges the iTouch as it plays tracks. I also wear earplugs at night, so I crank the RCD175i's volume to be able to hear the noise track (the iTouch's volume is set to max). This solution is only partially effective, but that's not central to my description of the problem.
Last night, I was particularly anxious about getting rest, so I cranked the RCD175i's volume significantly more than usual. I was shocked to find in the morning that the battery indicator showed approximately 20%, even though the charging indicator was showing. I removed the iTouch and plugged it into the Apple white cable that connects to my laptop's USB, hoping to give it a bit of juice before I took off for the day. Nothing much changed by the time I unplugged the iTouch to leave. At the end of the day, however, the battery showed a full charge.
This anomaly does not fit what I found on google because:
• The power draw was no more than usual
• It was far greater than the fluctuations I read about
• It doesn't happen randomly (never happened before)
• It happened when I docked it on the RCD175i and cranked the volume
• I have never jailbroken the iTouch
If I had to make a wild guess as to the problem, I would say that the RCD175i's docking interface is improperly designed, which messes with the RCD175i's charging calibration. Having the volume set high might cause noise to propagate through the dock to the iTouch, maybe degrade recharging voltages/currents being fed to the iTouch, or corrupt feedback signals that control the charging (if any are used). These are all wild guesses because I have no idea how the iTouch's charging system operates.
I'd like to ask anyone:
• for comments on the above speculation and/or solutions
• for other plausible causes and/or solutions
• whether they notice a correlation between battery indicator anomalies and docking the iTouch on 3rd party audio systems
• whether they use the RCD175i specifically and have the same problem with high volume on the RCD175i

I'm beginning to notice a pattern. When I plug it in to the laptop USB port or to the boombox iPod dock, the battery charge indicator shows about 20%. I never noticed that before. When I remove the iPod Touch from the connection, after some (yet undetermined) time, it may go back to 100%.
This seems like a recent behavioural quirk, along with another quirk that seems to have come up at around the same time. Whenever I plug the iPod Touch into the laptop USB port, I get an autoplay window coming up, which I just banish. However, it is strange that this has never happened before this strange turn in behaviour with the iPod Touch.

Lumia 521 battery indicator after a turn off

hi
i got a nokia lumia 521 a month ago , today i was with costumer support " t-mobile" and they asked me to turn of the phone pull the battery and take the sim card out , so i did , then they asked me to put everything back and turn it on so i did. but..... the phone didnt come up , by hitting / holding the power button , so i thought maybe my battery was very low when i turned it off , so i plugged my usb charger to the phone , now the phone does the following
when i plug the usb to the phone , the phone vibrates then goes to NOKIA then straight to the battery indicator with little red and a flashing on/off charging indicator , when i unplug the usb cable the phone turn off.
is there a trick to fix that ?
thanks

Found the problem(S)
Like people on the other website, the issue is the copper piece on the batteryis not contacting with the phone. That's why the battery icon shows only when its plugged in and nothing at all when its not plugged in. All the complaints I read on the internet has just one problem. It just happens I got two on this phone.........
1) I had to use a tiny needle to bend the copper piece out to ensure its making contact with the phone
2) after I bent the copper piece, the battery is still not contacting right, (you can't really tell by looking at it, I was just trying everything people were saying on the web. I spent hours on it and I got it !!!) I had to cut a business card to slide it underneath the battery. (2 business card thick). If u have same problem, u should try one card thick first.
Now the back cover feels like its swelling cuz of the business cards, but comparing to a $600+ phone, this $99 phone I can do everything I need it to, I can deal with that. Just wish I could have found the problem(s) sooner.
Hope this will help people with the same problem
Hey, this really helps, after looking for arkane solutions, I just add a piece of bend paper under the batery and it works... notice something,, the batery used to hace a plastic strip por pulling out.. this plastic strip got unglued so i removed, i see this plastic strip thinkness is needed for the wire copper piece to make contact... terrible design.
thanks for the advice.

Battery indicator stuck at 96% after first load

Hey,
I just bought MBP 13" mid 2012 (MD101D/A). I unboxed it, started it without pluggin in and used it for a while. Then, at some point, I plugged it in and let it just load throughout the night. When I started to actually set it up today, I noticed that the battery indicator shows 96% BUT when you click on it, it says that it's fully loaded. Now I checked coconutbattery and this is what I get:
It lost already 3% after the first loadcycle? I'm afraid the battery may be damaged....
Would love any kind of suggesten what to do with this.
Cheers

Your battery is fine.......You probably didn't notice it when it reached 100% - charger will automatically stop charging when you reach 100% to avoid overcharging your battery.
Once your battery goes down to 95% - charging resumes.

IPod touch incorrect battery indicator?

I've had my iTouch for almost 2 years, and last year I realized that the battery indicator is incorrect. if i use my ipod 2 hours straight the battery would be competely drained and it'd turn off. but if i turn it on in 15 mins the battery would be up to 40% . plus when im using it i notice that the battery bar goes down quickly but if i leave it, it increases. its obvious that the indicator is incorrect and i think this is some sort of malfunction because almost all of my friends have the same problem, is there anyway i could fix this WITHOUT replacing my battery?
Thanks in advance :)

You have two separate issues.
Inaccuracy of the indicator, and the fact that it indicator rises to a higher level after you leave it turned off.
The battery runs down after just two hours.
1. Are we to assume that when you mention the percentage figure, you are approximating, because as lllaass has mentioned, the iPod does not have a percentage indicator? Any such indication will be from an App, and it should not be regarded as accurate. Even the Apple indicator is just that - an indication.
Regardless of that, to understand why the indicator is higher after leaving the iPod turned off for a while, imagine you go for a fast run. Eventually, you will run out of puff and stop running. At that point, you need to rest for a while, after which you will be able to run a bit further. Eventually, you will have to stop once again, until you recover your breath. Each time you start running again, you will run less distance before running out of energy. A battery is just like that. You use it, it runs out of energy. You turn the iPod off and the therefore stop using the battery and it will recover - a bit. When you start using the battery once again, it will not be long before it runs down again. Eventually, it will have no energy left - until you feed it.
So that behaviour from your battery is normal.
2. The length of time you use the iPod (and battery) before it runs down. You haven't mentioned whether you fully charged the battery before deciding that two hours was its maximum run time. So the obvious question is: did you fully charge it before running this experiment? If not, the result is of no use at all.
However, even if you fully charge the battery and then assess it's running time, it really depends on what you are doing and how the iPod is set.
If you're playing an online game (so the screen is permanently on and you are using the Wi-Fi connection all the time), that will run the battery down much faster than if you start some music (that's on the iPod) playing, and then let the screen turn off while it plays. In other words, having the screen on will drain the battery at a faster rate.
Even if you are simply playing music, if you have the screen on while listening, either because you have set the "screen off" time for a long period, or because you listen to the music while you browse your other music, or browse online etc. etc., then once again, that will run the battery down at a much faster rate.
If you only part-charge the battery before using it again, it will not last as long as if you fully charge it.

Battery indicator inconsistent

Hi, my iPod classic's battery indicators on main screen and standby screen show differently. On the main screen it seems to be always full.
Is there any fix for this?

Even though you have reinstalled the software, don't be surprised if you see the same problem again. That's because the battery indicator is just that - an indicator (or indication) of..., not an accurate measure.
How you use the iPod will affect the battery indicator significantly. Suppose you are looking through the iPod's menus while it's playing (and therefore the backlight is on), after a while the battery will indicate a lower level than previously. If you then let the backlight turn off but allow the iPod to continue playing, then after another while ( ) if you check the battery indicator, you may find it is higher than when you last looked.
This is because the battery has "recovered some of its energy", a bit like humans recovering their breath after running.
One thing I will suggest, reduce the backlight time to the minimum you require so that you can look at the screen. Although I have my Classic set for longer, I reduced my 30Gb video to 2 seconds because its battery is not as long-lasting as the Classic.

Battery health decreased rapidly after charging problems.

Hy a few weeks ago the health of my mid 2010 MacBook Pro was still 79% which is normal since it has more than 1000 cycles.
Then following incident happened:
My battery was almost discharged, 30% or so, so I connected it to the AC power. After a while I wanted to see how much it was charged but the indicator in the corner still indicated the same 30% or so, only when I disconnected it it changed to something in the 80% range. I used my computer for a while like that and I noticed that the battery indicator was not chaning. Only when I connected or disconnected the AC power did it update.
I decided to reboot the machine and this solved the problem. I recently noticed however that my battery health now dropped to 63% which seems very much in a short period of time.
I know that normally charger will deliver less current to the battery when it is near 80% in order to prevent overcharging and maintain battery life as much as possible. I wonder however if the drastic decrease could be because of the power management thinking that the battery was only partly charged and thus delivering to much current to an almost full battery? If this is the case do you think that Apple would intervene for the costs of a new battery? I know I would have had to replace it sooner rather than later but this does change a lot I think. My computer is not in warranty anymore and I don't want to pay 49€ for one intervention. There are also no official Apple stores in Belgium and the authorised resellers really don't offer the same service.

sweex,
since your battery has over 1000 cycles and has 79% of its original full charge capacity remaining, Apple considers your battery “consumed”; they will not intervene for the cost of a new battery. It’s entirely your decision when to replace your battery, but irregular charging results are to be expected for as long as you use your present battery.
If no Apple-authorized service center in Belgium offers the option of changing the battery, then you should let Apple know so that they can find an organization who will do so. I don’t know where you are in Belgium, but this search around Brussels shows seven different Apple-authorized service centers which all claim to service Macs, and the one in Aalst is noted as being a Premium service center.

IPhone 5 Battery Indicator and Reboot issues

Hello Apple community forum,
I have an iPhone 5 that I purchased approximately 20 months ago. It has worked flawlessly and been well taken care of. Only until recently, maybe 3 weeks after I updated to IOS update 7.1.1, I have been having a plethora of issues and now the phone is virtual useless. I have not jailbroken it or have had any third party hardware installed. It all started when I plugged in my Apple lightening cable for charging and an error appeared "unsupported charging cable". From there I have experienced the following problems:
Battery indicator stuck while charging at any various percentage or during normal use and standby. Only a reboot will provide current charge status.
Extremely fast battery drain.
Unexpected reboots at various intervals or while accessing Apps or browsers. Sometimes very frequent. One day had at least 60 reboots. one right after the other.
Cannot turn on or off
Shuts off when I put it in my pocket.
BSOD (Blue Screen of Death)
Screen exhibits lines or odd characters shuts down or reboots.
Time and date at different positions post boot.
Log file full of errors. (Panaic.ips bug type 110 | awdd Wireless | ResetCounter bug type 115| TCCService bug type 167 | Log-Aggregated bug type 193)
The update worked great on the phone and it seemed faster and the battery lasted a bit longer than usual.However, now it is a different story. I was able to backup my phone and offload all my photos on its good day. I was reading the support site and following a few of these forums. I follow the soft and hard rest procedures and even restored the phone back to factory default (DFU mode). It does seem to run a bit better in default without many apps on it but it still exhibits all the above issues. I bit the bullet and went to the Apple store to talk to one of there G men. He acted surprised and gave me the Apple trained verbal run around. He ran the diagnostic and stated that my battery did not even register as being in the system. From there he opened the phone, inspected it for damage and re-attached the battery and taped it back down. BTW, they hosed my screen cover. Nothing is ever free. They did offer to replace my battery for $80 but did not feel that would solve this problem. If anyone has had this issue and did have a new battery installed, please let me know how that worked out.
I wonder if this latest update exposes some type of hardware flaw that was previously fixed or just a bug(s) in the software code. Yet, Apple does not seem to acknowledge there is a problem let alone advise to any upcoming fix. It does not seem that Apple really cares about my little bit of business. If anyone has any ideas or experience, please let me know. This is frustrating and owning too much of my time. Thanks Apple!

If tried techniques to get the battery to act right, such as rebooting by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, and those things haven't helped, take the iPhone and iPad to the Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test them to see if there is a hardware fault. Do that before the warranty runs out so you are covered.

Since upgrade to 10.4.4, no sleep, no battery indicator, no airport

1. iBook will no longer go to sleep, not from apple menu, not from power button, not from closing lid. Tried PMU reset. No luck.
2. Since upgrade no battery indicator exists in menu bar. No longer an option to have it there in system preferences. Where did this go?
3. Since software update done after upgrade Airport card no longer works. Internet connect says it's on. System profiler says it's off. Indicator is in menu bar, but no signal bars. Tried PMU reset, deleting locations, resetting wireless router. Other airport cards continue to work fine in our other Macs from the same router.
Using Classic is not an option on this machine. Help please.

Hi,
In these situations it can pay to go to this list http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ and get the Combo installer to run the Update again (Unless of course you told Software Update to keep the .Pkg)
The actual Update will come with link ( In case http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1044.html ) which can be looked at for further info.

Battery indicator is stuck at 100%

After I upgraded by BB Z10 to 10.2.1.2102 / 2141, the battery indicator always shows 100%. Even when battery is getting depleted. Downside is that the phone suddenly shuts down when it's battery is completed discharged. Before shutting down it moemtarily shows the battery indicator color as red (empty), beeps and shuts down.
Have tried a number of things like taking battery out while charging and replacing, deleted a number of apps but no use. I think its an OS problem.
Solved!

Battery indicator on N95 v21.0.016

Hello all:
Ever since I updated to the new v21.0.016 firmware, the battery indicator on my N95 acts kind of strange.
For two days it shows a full charge (seven bars) and suddenly, in less than a couple of hour, goes down from seven bars to one bar (no WIFI, no bluetooth, no calls).
Has anyone experienced the same?. It looks like an annoying bug in the new firmware...
........N70, E61, E90, N95, E71, E72, N8

I'd like to update my status. After the upgrade to version 21, the phone couldn'd be connected to the pc too. I got it to a NCC and they said that the phone's board had a problem and had to be sent abroad to nokia to replace it... I'd like to add the following too. At NCC I was told that the update that nokia provides through Nokia Update Manager is not the actual update. If we want to update the phone we will have to take it at a NCC because the update they have is three times bigger in size and it's the full one. (v21 is 166MB through NUM, and the update the NCC has is about 300). When I asked why is this happening they said: "If the full update was provided over the net, then there wouldn't be any reason for the NCC to exit". That's a shame. This conversation took place in Greece. I don't know what other NCC say, or if this is the policy of Nokia in order to get money (they said that the update would cost me 15,5 Euros).
PS The phone was bought 3 months ago, but if they "thought" that i had updated the phone through other software (?) I would have to pay for the actual update anyway....

Is the battery indicator misleading??

Hi all,
I just got the new iPod 30GB and I notice that right after it's been fully charged, when I just listen to music, within 10-15minutes the battery indicator goes from full to 3/4. It seems like the battery indicator shows the battery is getting less and less power. Do I have a defective iPod, or is this just the nature of the beast. I haven't let go all the way to the end, so I can't say whether it is actually losing it's charge, but the indicator appears that the battery is running out faster than what I'm used to with my old iPod. 10-15 minutes and the indicator going from full to 3/4 quarters seems a but fast right??
Is anyone else running into this problem? I am not playing much video on it, so it's generally playing music, but I hear the video playback uses alot more power and that battery runs out faster in that case. This would probably not apply in my case, as I took this under consideration when monitoring the issue.
Just would like to know whether this is just a display or software bug and I don't have to worry about the actual battery life running out...OR if I really do have a battery issue, I should run this back right away....
Your advisement is greatly appreciated.

So I decided to fully charge the iPod, then run the stop watch and continously play music while timing the battery life. It's been six hours so far, and the battery indicator shows a spec of red, but totally empty. It's still going though. I'll let you know of the progress. It sounds to me though that this is a combination of a battery indicator light innacuracy, and having to charge and run the battery completely down a few times to get the battery working at good capacity. I haven't ran the battery all the way down yet, so this test would be the first time. I'll try and run this test with the stop watch on, a couple of times too and see if the battery life improves. I'm at 6 hours so far, and have not played any video, so according to Apple, I'm supposed to get up to 14 hours of continuous music, so we'll see how far it goes.
At least I'm not the only one, so I'm thinking this is just the nature of the beast as opposed to a defective product. But try out the test I'm doing, and see what comes up. What does your battery life truly go to......
