3G, iOS4 & Battery Percentage slider

Can anyone tell me why on earth the "Battery Percentage" slider isn't available on the 3G's with iOS4? (Settings > General > Usage > Battery Percentage)

Well I have to say I thought I was loosing my mind. Now I can have peace again. iOS4 on my 3g is terrible . I have to admit I did not expect much, considering this new os was not really intended to be installed on the 3g models, or were they... If I were a gambling man I would wager that, the man brilliant minds involved with the development of iOS4 new the entire time what kind of performance this update would really do to the 3g models. Steve Jobs did make a very very very brief statement to that effect in the keynote address. Could it be that apple just truly wants us all to upgrade to the 4G... hmm
i think i smell a conspiracy.. as for my 3g. my batter was drained after about 5hrs after a full charge.
not a single battery life issue until the update last night. Also the animations of the screens are slow and choppy and freeze up. I am going to reset my phone back to os 3.02 I can wait for my 4g ..

    You probably need to recalibrate the battery. See link below.
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • No battery percentage at top of screen.

    Why dosen't my iPad 2 no longer show battery percentage at top of screen.

    Go to Settings>General>Battery Percentage and make sure it is set to ON. If it is - reset your iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

  • Whenevenr I call a person sometimes the phone gives me an option of callback and end when I press the callback button the whole screen goes blank and only the upper Taskbar where it shows network provider , time and battery percentage is shown

    whenevenr I call a person sometimes the phone gives me an option of callback and end when I press the callback button the whole screen goes blank and only the upper Taskbar where it shows network provider , time and battery percentage is shown

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red (-) to delete all apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Battery percentage problems on iPhone 5

    The battery percentage won't turn off on my iPhone 5.
    I went to Settings -> General -> Usage then slide it off.
    Then rebooted my iPhone.
    I seem videos on YouTube where people slide it off/on and works fine.
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    When you say you rebooted did you do this:
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

  • Why isn't my battery percentage working? I click to have it on and when it's on it doesn't show up, also when I try and change my text ringtone , and soon as I back out of the sounds setting when i recheck again it's back to the original default soun

So can anyone help me :/ idk whats wrong woth this ps I have the 5

    Hello Neygotsole,
    Having your device malfunction can certainly be frustrating. After reviewing your post, it sounds as though your device is experiencing multiple issues. I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings without restoring from a backup? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.

  • How do I automatically log the battery percentage and time on my Retina Macbook Pro to an excel spreadsheet? (OSX 10.9.4)

    Hello! So I own a 13" rMBP, and I'm running OSX 10.9.4.
    How do I log my battery percentage with the date, probably down to the hour, preferably to an Excel file?
    I want to track the rate at which my battery discharges, so that in the future I can compare the present rate of discharge with the past and see exactly how much my battery has deteriorated by. I'll take averages over long periods of time to account for, e.g. the fact that watching Netflix drains my battery faster than editing an essay. I also want a solution that uses negligible power in the background.
    I've spent hours looking for an app that both calculates the rate of discharge and keeps all data, but I haven't found any. Eventually I decided that hopefully it isn't too difficult to write an AppleScript or something that simply logs the system clock and battery percentage in tandem every hour or so.
    Thank you for your time!
    Herman

    What Barney said.
    Here is the script to create a CSV text file with
    Date
    Time
    Current Battery Percentage as an integer
    #!/bin/bash
    batterycsv="$HOME/battery.csv"
    export GREP_OPTIONS="--color=never"
    # if you want the percentage sign too, exclude the second egrep
    battpct=$(pmset -g ps | egrep -o "(\d+)%" | egrep -o "\d+")
    datetime=$(date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")
    printf "%s,%s,%s\n" $datetime $battpct >> $batterycsv
    Output on a fully charged MacBook Air to battery.csv will be individual lines of the following format:

    Can I enable Battery percentage on my iPod touch 4th generation running iOS 5.1.1 without beig jailbroken?

    You can enable battery % on ipod touch 4g without jailbreaking it you can use backup bot for itunes. Thats how i enabled it on mine. Step 1: goto http://www.icopybot.com/ibackupbot_setup.exe download and install it if you have windows. Step 2: Next create a backup of your device in iTunes and then CLOSE iTunes (or else you may run into problems later on) do not lock the backup with a password. Step 3: Open iBackupBot. Click the backup you just made Next click "Path" to sort by Path. Step 4: Look for Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard.plist and double click it. On the registration screen that comes up, hit cancel. Step 5: Find <dict> and create a new line after it. Then add this: 
    <key>SBShowBatteryLevel</key>
    <true/>
    Step 6: Hit CTRL + S or just the save button at the top left corner of that editor window. Now close the window.
    Step 7: Right click that same backup you just edited
    Step 8: click restore
    Step 9: Done! If you don't see the changes, reboot your iPod.
    Enjoy I hope you found this useful!

  • Battery percentage indicator takes a little while to update when resuming from sleep - is this normal?

    Hi folks,
    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro with Retina (13") and have noticed a pecularity with the battery indicator that I'd appreciate an opinion on please.
    I've charged my MBPr battery to full (100% on the menu bar and green light on the MagSafe connector). I disconnect the power and close the lid which puts that MacBook to sleep. After leaving it overnight, I open the lid and and the unlock screen shows the percentage battery having gone down by a couple of percent (which I take to be normal) - e.g. 98%. However, when I unlock and get back to the desktop, it's still showing as 100%. Clicking on the battery icon, it shows as calculating the amount of time left. After about a minute or so, it tells me how much estimated time I've got left, and the percentage indicator updates to give me the correct percentage. When using it normally, the percentage indicator drops on the desktop as I would expect it to.
    Is this normal for it to give the correct percentage on the unlock screen, but then to give the original (pre-sleep) percentage when unlocked, until it has updated and worked out how much time it's got left on battery?
    I've read elsewhere that many folks have been having issues with the battery indicator since Mavericks rolled out, and there are some resets that can be done by pressing various key combinations whilst powering on. I've had the MacBook only a few days, and haven't installed anything on it - it hasn't even been connected to the internet yet - so I assumed that it should be working correctly from the off - unless there's something buggy with Mavericks causing this?
    I would normally shut down a computer overnight, but I like how the MBP instantly resumes when I open the lid. Am also wondering whether it'll take a few charge cycles before the battery reaches full capacity and is properly calibrated. The system report shows that it shipped to me having undergone only 3 charge cycles to date.
    Any opinions would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Gopha

    After some more testing:
    Disabling the battery percentage indicator and then re-enabling it causes the percentage value to update to the 'correct' value. Rebooting the MacBook also causes it to update to the correct value.
    Seems like I'm not the only one with this particular issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24402123#24402123
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24406197#24406197
    as a newbie to Macs and Mavericks, am I right in saying that there is currently an issue with Mavericks?

  • Why is the battery percentage on my iPhone 4S on iOS7 freezing then dropping in big 10/20% chunks?

    Since upgrading to iOS7 my 4s has been having issues with battery meter. Take today for instance, it fell steadily to 59% then dropped instantly to 39% (I was not using any apps at the time). It has now been stuck on 32% for over half an hour, I've taken photos, used YouTube and other apps in an attempt to drain it but no change.
    I've turned off all unnecessary processes, including location services and background refresh to eliminate drain. System status meter shows processor operating at 10% when no apps open so it doesn't look like background processes are draining.
    I can't rely on the battery meter when it isn't accurate, it could suddenly drop to 5% or similar without warning.
    Is anyone else having these problems?  Any ideas Apple?
    It's going to render my phone untrustworthy and inaccurate.

    Hi!
    I am having similar issue.
    I have upgraded my iPhone 4s to the new iOS 7 and since then my battery indicator is stucked at 44%. Now regardless how much I charge or how much I use, it is showing the same battery level.
    Although this get refreshed when I restart the iPhone and it shows the current battery level and then again stucks at the same percentage. This was working fine on iOS 6.1.3, but is showing issues after the upgrade.
    I have tried to restore it, reset settings by selecting Erase All Content and Settings, hard reset (power+home button for 10 sec) but still no good, it shows the same level of battery percentage at which it is since last reboot.
    Although I was having iOS 6.1.3 ispw so I downgraded it again as Apple was signing iOS 6.1.3 at that time. Now the battery percentage is working fine. Therefore its not a hardware issue for sure and is just some bug with iOS 7.
    Now I have again upgraded to iOS 7.0.3, and I am facing the same issue again. And now I can't even downgrade to iOS 6.1.3.
    If you get some tips on how to solve this, then please share the same.
