2.1 firmware update displays incorrect battery meter

After installing firmware 2.1 on my iphone I started noticing my battery meter displaying the incorrect charge level. I charged it in full yesterday, and this morning I still had more than half the battery meter. I checked 10 minutes later and the meter was now showing 10% left with the red battery meter.
I went ahead and charged it again , used it for a while and now noticed that the battery meter is not only showing the incorrect amount left (still) but shows a different battery status on different menu screens. Shows battery meter to be full in the home screen and half the meter on an app, email ,etc.
Firmware 2.1 has definitely messed up the meter!
inaccurate reading on the battery meter , someone else has to be experiencing this same problem.
let me know if someone else has this same problem !

try draining out the battery first and then recharge it, see if that shows an accurate. I had that happen to me on the 2.02 update. The battery meter was inaccurate. Like when i reached 20% it was actually at 50% when i plug it in to charge. So i did sent them a feedback about it. So I'm hoping that the 2.1 fixes this issue. So far my battery is showing at 100%.
Usually for me at the end of the day after a full charge in the morning, the battery meter would go down 1 bar. So i'll have to wait and see.

  • Reboot due to incorrect battery meter...

    I am having a problem with my 3rd Gen iPod.
    I charge the battery fully. After 1 - 2 hours of playing the iPod, the battery meter will show about 1/4 of a charge left.
    Once the battery meter shows 1/4 power left, at any point, playing a song, skipping to a new track etc, the iPod will shutdown with the battery warning indicator.
    If I then let it sit for a minitue and turn the iPod back on, the battery meter will display empty, but then it will slowly return to about 1/4 full again after about a min. From this point on, I can get about another hour out of it.
    It seems to be a calibration issue but I don't know how to fix it. Any suggestions are welcome!

    If the battery was dead when you received it, a complete charge should take four hours or so. Even if the battery meter shows fully charged, you should make sure that your iPod stays plugged in for the duration.
    Battery meters often display this behavior - try charging your cell phone for 15 minutes - you'll likely see the same thing.

  • Bluetooth toolbar icon displays incorrect battery percentage

    For the past week or so, my macbook pro bluetooth toolbar icon has been displaying very incorrect battery percentages for my bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse.
    Using the 'ioreg' tool from teh command line, I can get correct information (both my keyboard and mouse are around 45% battery).
    See below image for the incorrect battery percentage.
    Anybody have any suggestions on how to correct this problem?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    This is a new issue with 10.6.7.  Eventually the battery percent will start to decrease.  Not much can be done until Apple provides a fix.
    There is a widget you can use in dashboard in the meantime.

  • Does the Audible 2.2x_ firmware update really fix battery iss

    i've been reading that the audible firmware fix takes care of the battery conflict.
    is this true?

    The new firmware that adds Audible support also reduces the standby time to 4 hours, which is the same change that was in the previous PDE firmware (referred to as the battery drain fix).

  • Time, airport, battery meter will not display.

    Hey I have an ibook g4 that does not want to display the battery meter, sound volume, time & day. for some reason. I have looked all over system prefs and got nowhere fast. If someone can let me know whats up...please do. I have tried to right click over it and everything. thanks.

    I'm not interested in ascribing blame either but waiting for Apple to fix something that isn't broken will only divert attention from seeking the problem's underlying cause. Assuming the AirPort Utility app on your Mac remains unaltered, it's exactly the same one everyone else is using. Should there be any doubt about that, reinstalling OS X will obviate any concern.
    I suggest the following for you to consider as you deem appropriate.
    Apple's Wireless Diagnostics may supply some additional helpful information.
    To use it, hold an option key while you click your Mac's Wi-Fi icon, and choose Open Wireless Diagnostics...
    The following authentication dialog will appear:
    Authenticate with your Admin password, then click the Continue button in the following:
    The network analysis and diagnostic tests will take several minutes to complete:
    When it completes, if your wireless network is functioning properly the following will result:
    If something is amiss, supposedly the results will be different and you will be presented with helpful information.
    Assuming your connection is "working as expected" select Continue to summary and click Continue:
    Ignore the pre-populated text field, which is provided as a place for you to type in additional information should Apple ask for it in the course of obtaining technical assistance from them. Apple has no way of knowing where your router is located in your home, and certainly doesn't know if you even have an upstairs bedroom closet.
    Click Continue.
    The next step will also take a few minutes:
    When it finishes, you will be presented with a summary that may or may not be useful to you. Let me know if it is.
    The WirelessDiagnostics-xxx.tar.gz file deposited on your Desktop can be dragged to the Trash, or you may wish expand it and examine its contents. It's up to you.

  • MacBook Pro firmware update after erase & install

    Hi,
    I just tried to update from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11 with software update last night and got the error message a lot of people have been experiencing, then, got stuck at the apple logo with the never-ending spinning wheel... well... tried repairing disk, permissions, everything, but didn't work...
    Now I reinstalled OS X with the dvd that came with my pro (10.4.6) and I noticed that when I run softwarte update, a specific MacBook Pro firmware update and some battery update didn't show up, does that mean I already have it? because it is firmware, the installation of OS X didn't erase it?
    And to all those out there stuck at the boot screen, I'm trying the manual combo update (downloading from apple.com) and will tell if this works (thank god I backed up everything!)

    Good Morning,
    To answer your firmware question, yes. Once applied a firmware update is burned into the chip on the device being updated and is not subject to being removed with an operating system, the only way to change that firmware is to update it with something else.
    You should be fine that they aren't showing up because, as you said, you already have them. 

  • I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.

    I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.
    When I mouse over the icons, the rainbow appears as if it was processing something. The problem is eliminated when I restart my computer but it comes back after a while.
    I guess I cant make a backup copy and restore the whole disk because the copy would be made with this error.
    Can anyone help me? Anyone with the same issue?

    Update: I was able to test out the HDMI adapter as well and the same issue occured.  I'm stumped.  10.8.1 maybe.

  • EFI Firmware Update for Retina Display and Battery Life

    I recently installed the EFI firmware update (1.0) for the macbook pro with retina display and have found my battery life has reduced from what used to be 5 hours or so to maybe 2 hours. Furthermore, I have noticed that my computer runs significantly hotter than it used to. Has anyone experienced this and know why this is the case? I would like to restore my battery life.

    I've noticed the same thing as well. Any word from Apple?

  • Macbook Pro has short battery life and runs hotter after firmware update

    I installed the macbook pro EFI firmware update yesterday and now my MBP runs hotter and the fan starts running earlier than it has ever done before. Also, my battery lasts 51 minutes from a full charge whereas, before the update, it lasted 2 hours (using the same programs and display settings).
    Has anybody else seen this problem?
    Please tell me I'm not alone with seeing this. I am hoping that there is a solution and it's better than 'buy a new battery'. The fact that my box now runs hotter with the fan on more constantly would not be solved by a new battery I think.

    Also had the problem of MBP running much hotter after most recent Firmware update.
    My fans have been running at 6k RPM constantly, and processor Temps have been running at 70-88°.
    Following the advice in this topic, I checked the Activity Monitor, which told me both my account and my son's account (which was running but had no actual applications running) had separate Airport processes going nuts – each at approx 80-95%!
    Switching off airport and logging out of my son's account almost immediately started to cool the processors, and the fans began to slow down. Switching Airport back on doesn't seem to heat things up again, but if I start to crunch numbers, it all happens over again...
    So who knows why the firmware update is making these processes freak out.... weird.

  • HT203547 Thunderbolt Display Screen Still Black After Firmware Update

    Mid 2014 15" MacBook Pro (retina), and Thunderbolt Display, under 1 year old.
    The Display stopped waking from sleep, but it seems to only be the backlight.  When using a flashlight, I can see the image on the screen.  My computer recognizes the Display is connected.
    The firmware update hasn't resolved the issue.  The article HT203547 is worthless.
    Many, many other similar issues are reported in the apple community forum and in the Apple Online Store reviews for the TB Display.
    I've had the Display repaired, having all of the internal components replaced.  Now, it's at an Apple Authorized Service Provider, again... for the same issue.
    Last time, it was in the shop for several weeks, as the technicians had trouble resolving the issue.
    Apple will continue to have it serviced and replace it, entirely, if needed.  But, that will have to be after their technicians repair the same parts 4 times.  I've barely gotten any use out of it over the past 2 months.
    But, if there are inherent flaws... what can be done?  Is there any way to get a refund/credit, after 6 months or so?

    Hello JethrofromBama,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that your iPhone's screen has no backlight, and is dark.  I'd like you to please follow the steps below in attempt to resolve this issue.
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • 27 inch thunderbolt display blacks out after Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2

    Bought 2 new 27 inch TB displays for two different machines and after a couple of days the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 appears on my Mac Pro with one of the displays installed. So I install the firmware update.  Now my display blacks out periodically and I keep getting Graphic Display Errors with a request to sent the errors to Apple. Running a 32 GB Mac Pro (late 2013 circular style) I have three monitors connected (two 20 inch cinema displays and the new 27 inch display). This machine is supposed to be able to handle three 4k monitors or 6 standard TB displays.  I've seen the posts about the blacking out with this monitor but I didn't have any problems before the firmware update and now I've got them pretty regularly.  I had the blacking out problem on an earlier monitor and took one of the monitors back and Apple gave me another one and this is the replacement.  Same problem, but this one only started after the update. I'm hoping someone from Apple reads these messages and can let me know what's up.
    BTW, I also have an older 27 inch Apple monitor that ran perfectly on this machine so I'm disappointed that I spent all this money and now get the blacking out issue.
    Mac Pro (Late 2013)
    Processor 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5
    Memory 32 BG
    Graphics AMD FirePro D300 2048 MB

    I have my Thunderbolt display connected to my MacBook Pro and have been experiencing the same issue, getting worse over time.  The folks at my local Apple store did not know what to do about it.  So, I looked around and tried different thing.
    The one thing that seems to be working is to System Preferences > Build-in Display > uncheck “Automatically adjust brightness.”
    I hope this helps.

  • Thunderbolt Display USB ports not working after 1.2 firmware update

    I installed the Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update 1.2 a few days back, and following that update, the USB ports on my display have stopped working completely. The display's Thunderbolt port and Ethernet jacks are working fine, as is the Thunderbolt/power cable connection to my MacBook Air (mid-2011, 11 inch, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1). Any ideas on a fix?

    Do an SMC and PRAM reset.

  • Photos Display Incorrectly after iPhoto 9.1.2 Update

    Since the latest iPhoto Update (9.1.2) Photos have been displaying incorrectly on AppleTV in Events View. Instead of being organized in events like in iPhoto, the events are displayed with 2 photos in each, creating multiple events for each actual event. For instance, if a specific event in iPhoto has 1,500 photos, then on AppleTV, this event is displayed 750 separate times with 2 photos in each "event". That makes it impossible to fins anything specific, and is embarrassing when you are showing people your cool AppleTV.
    I have restored the AppleTV, rebuilt the Thumbnails and Caches in iPhoto, adjusted my Firewall, yet nothing has fixed the issue. Everything else displays correctly, Movies, TV Shows, Music, Pod Casts, just  not the Photos.
    Anyone else experiencing this, or find a fix?

    I found this other thread discussing this topic, no fix, I will revert to 9.1.1 from Time Machine and wait for a new update.
