A different BATTERY problem

I noticed the last week that i have a battery problem. Not similar like the issue of less than 1000mAh which can see via Nokia Diagnostics.
My Lumia 800 shows over 1500mAh at Diagnostics but shuts down at 30% percent!!!!
This happened to me the last THREE continuous times.
Is this because software affects my Lumia 800 too? Can i go to my local Nokia Care and ask for a replacement with a new Lumia 800? And how can i prove that my Lumia 800 has battery problem, if via Diagnostics my full charge capacity is over 1500mAh?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well i updated my Lumia 800 at a Nokia Care, because it was impossible to wait it via Zune.
I have good and bad news.
The good is that my phone now doesnt shut down at 30%.
The bad news are that before update i had over 1500mAh full charge capacity. After and before the charging i had 1480mAh...All good until now. But after every charging, the full charge capacity continuously reduced. 
For example, at the second charging i had 1400mAh,
at the 3rd i had 1360mAh,
at the 4rth i had 1250mAh,
at the 5fth i had 1145mAh.
Today i ll do my sixth charging.
Also, the remaining time has decreased dramatically. My Lumia 800 cannot be without charging over 15 hours now. Before the update and with the problem, from 100% to 30% battery i had autonomy of over 36 hours.
I contacted this morning, the official Nokia customer care at Bulgary, i am from Greece. A very kind man speaking greek of course told me that my problem will be send to Headquarters at Finland. I asked for a replacement, but they told told me that the steps is to send my Lumia for a first look at the central service and maybe fix it. As my phone will be serviced, i will have a Nokia 5800 replacement!!!! Oh my GOD. I paid 485 euros to have a 5800? For how many days? 10? 20? A month? I do not want any fix. I accept that my phone is defective. It is not rare at mass production. It happens. I want NOW a new Lumia 800 and i do not want to go again at a Nokia Care. A want an easy life with my Lumia 800. 
I also told that at other Europe countries, Nonia Care stores have replaced the problematic phones. Why they do not do the same at my country?
Will anyone pay me the time that i lose from my job, running for my Nokia Lumia 800?
Αn indignant Nokia customer,
Giannis Sotiriadis, Greece.

  • Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
    I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
    I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
    I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

    I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
    I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
    I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

  • IPod Battery Problems.. Send in for a replacement?

    My iPod is just over a month and a half old. I use it very often. The battery lately takes about 12 to 14 hours to fully charge. Once I get a full charge into the battery, the battery lasts about 10mins, even though I don't play games or scroll alot.. Is there a battery problem here? should I send it in for a replacement? Also, when I get a replacement iPod.. Is it possible to request that my new ipod be a different colour? (I hate my pink iPod)

    welcome!
    1) if your ipod is under warranty, then you should send it in for service/replacement
    2) as for requesting a different color... I would doubt it, but who knows....

  • 4S battery problem - phone dies, can't charge or turn on??

    Having some possible battery problems with my iPhone 4S.  I'm on Sprint, with the latest iOS and running on Windows 7.  It all has to do with when the battery dies, and has happened 3 times already...
    1. battery died, this happened:
    (about a month ago)
    plug in to PC via USB, low battery sign (with small sliver of red available).
    almost immediately (about 2 seconds), apple logo startup screen appears.
    about 20 seconds later, vibrates twice.
    a second later it flashes the lock screen then goes to black with a spinny wheel for about 5 seconds.
    then the apple logo startup screen shows again...and same thing repeats. 
    does not charge at all.  same problem when plugged in to wall charger.
    somehow the next day I got it to show "connect to iTunes" screen, and restored the iPhone.
    2. battery died, same cycle happening.
    (about two-three weeks ago)
    I left it alone for a week & set a Genius Bar appointment.
    somehow, the day before the appointment, I was able to plug in the iPhone, charge it, and turn it on with no problems at all.
    I took it in anyway to the Apple Store and they did a "firmware restore", supposedly different from the restore I did on my home computer.
    3. battery died, same crap again.
    (yesterday...)
    possibly interesting to note was that the battery was fully charged and left alone for the day, but was dead when I checked on it in the evening.
    I think something is happening where the battery isn't actually completely drained - so the second time around when I got lucky, the battery had fully run out... so when I plugged it in to charge it didn't try to turn on straight away (because it couldn't). 
    ...Not really sure though.
    Any thoughts?????

    Could possibly be the battery, I just thought if you remove the battery then try turning the phone on with the charger plugged in and see if that works, but then realised it doesnt as I just tried it, so ignore that one ha ha. Id try another battery in it and see if that solves the prob, if that doesnt work, it might either be totally screwed or just might need re flashing if the firmware has gone down the pan for some reason.

  • Iphone 4s battery problems PLEASE HELP

    I got my 4s about a week ago. The first couple of days i noticed the battery would go down pretty quick. So i looked online and seen all these different ways to save battery life by switching the settings around. I did all of the recommended changes ( location, brightness, etc.) i had already charged the phone the same way i would charge any phone before i read the full discharge full recharge. I did that two nights in a row and since then i let it get to atleast 2% before i charge it. Last night i put it on the charger around 20% maybe a little more and it definatley overcharged for an hour or two before i took it off. When i go to work i leave it in my locker and go on it during breaks. Normally it would never change the % while on standby and it would go down 1 maybe 2% while i use it. Today by the time it was lunch break it was down to 80%. As i type this my battery is at 64% with 2 hours and 31 minutes usage and 16 hours, 5 minutes of standby.
    What happened to it? It bothers me so much cause i love the phone and it was doing good until today.
    I JUST NOTICED that there is a new software update iOS 5.1.1. Could this sudden battery problem have occured because i am running older software??!!

    You've probabaly just installed and left running more applications. Applications dont entirely close when you hit the home screen. You've probabaly notice when you turn on your phone you have to wait through the loading screen for many applications. After that they sit on the memory of the phone, and the phone uses some battery retaining the state of each application. In Stand-By and still when powered down, your battery will slowly drain (less so when powered down).
    You may want to start force closing apps or occasionally powering down your iPhone. Additionally, the battery is not a NiCad battery where you can't charge it when it's at 80% or you'll risk causing the "battery memory" to max at 80%. The iPhone batteries are fine to be charged when they're at 95%. That said, Apple does recommend dispersing the battery to 0% atleast once a month. These batteries do have a battery charge cycle, ie: after so many charges the drain will begin to occur, but it's alot better than say your R/C car battery, or your typical rechargable triple 'A' battery.
    On another note, I do recommend you run the latest updates, if there ever is a battery issue and they know about it, they'll try to address the issue.

  • Strange battery problem..

    I noticed that when i charge my phone overnight and take it off the charger the battery drops from 100 to 99 in less than a minute. This is my second iPhone 4, First one had the home button wiggles and that one never had this battery problem.
    Now what i do is after the battery drops to 99 right away i do a hard reset and that seems to fix it, but my question is whats causing it? and is it software or a hardware glitch? and does anyone else have this problem? to be honest i don't want to have to exchange this again its getting annoying at this point everything else is fine and don't feel like going thro the risk of having another problem with a different phone. Thanks all

    I try charging my ipod for 4 hours as usual. Then when its done i take it off the as and I turn it on and listen to a few songs for about 6 mins then the screen pops out a short message that says no power please connect to power, but the ipod mini already has full power, then it shuts off in about 20 seconds. I then press a button and it comes up a Apple sign it it shows it has 85% less power then couple mins later the battery indicator goes back to full power but it does the same thing over and over again. Then i try charging it again it does the same thing again. Whats the problem?

  • Centro-battery problems?

    I have had my Centro since June 08 and during the last week I have had trouble charging my phone. When I plug in the charger, the red light doesn't even turn on on my phone. I've tried with my car and my wall charger. At first I thought that maybe something was wrong with the charger port on my phone but now I'm wondering if it's just the battery. When it would charge, it wouldn't charge past about 50%. I really only use my phone for calls and texting. I'm not crazy about having to spend $50 on a new battery, especially if that's not even the problem. Has anyone had this problem? Thanks for your help!
    Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

    One possible option is to go to an At&t store and see if they have a floor model battery that can be used to see if it works better. If a different battery reads at 50 percent and connecting to the charger still doesn't make the light come on then the problem is with the device. If it works correctly then the battery needs to be replaced.

  • Muvo v100 battery problem?... can one h

    hi?wondering if anyone has this problem that i have got with my creative muvo v00 mp3. See i brought a pack of new AAA batteries for the mp3 player. and i just put in a new battery in and listened about 30mins of music, then i switched off the mp3 player as normally. But the think is i noticed my mp3 player wont switched on anymore? at first i thought it was broken, so tried to put songs in it on my computer and it still works.. so i put a new battery in it then it allows me to switch it on again and then i tried it again? with the battery that i listened for 30mins.. and it wouldnt switch on... so its it just me that just cos u listened to 30mins of music and the battery wouldnt switch on. cos if so then its a bit of waste of money as u need a new battery very time u want to listen to music. so does anyone have this problem?...

    first of all thnx for answerin me... and yes its duracell, anyway even if it poor battery make,
    It still should allow me to switch my mp3 player on after i 30mins of used..
    and it isnt just happening with one battery its happening all the time with other batteries... and different battery makes?just it seem odd, cos it mean i have to use new battery just to open it and listen to it.. edit: whilst other mp3 player can last like 2hr on just one battery...Message Edited by jyu on 03-9-2007:58 AM

  • Powerbook g4 Battery Problem--Help!

    I've had a Powerbook G4 (15 inch) since 2005 so it's clearly out of warranty. It was bought right before the charger was changed on the Powerbooks. My battery was part of the recall group so this battery was new as of January 2007.
    My battery will not charge. When I turn on my computer, my time and date is March 24th 2001 (and will fix itself in a few minutes of turn on). My charger will turn orange for about...10 minutes before turning green. However, my battery is not charging at all. AT ALL.
    I've tried resetting PRAM (mind you, I know what these terms mean only bc of googling due to this problem) by pulling battery and power and holding down power for 5 seconds then turning on. OPTION + COMMAND + P + R nor OPTION + COMMAND + O + F DO NOT work at all. They do nothing. Tried each about ten times--nothing. Tried a different charger--still the same problem. The battery worked as of week ago but the battery died while the laptop was asleep.

    Hi, save, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Reset the Power Management Unit in your Powerbook and see whether the failure to charge persists, as I fully expect it will. If it does, your battery with only 45 cycles on it is clearly defective — a common problem among the batteries that were provided under the replacement program.
    Take your Powerbook, adapter and battery to an Apple Store Genius Bar and demonstrate the failure to charge. The Genius will probably reset the Power Manager again and then test using a different battery and a different adapter. When s/he concludes that your battery is defective, you should be offered another free replacement battery.

  • Flashing icon - battery problems? Something else?

    Hopefully I have, at last, found the right forum...My lime clamshell iBook, running system 9.2.2, froze yesterday, and when I restarted, a flashing folder with a ?, switching with a folder with the Mac two-facing-profiles symbol, was on the screen. I have never had this symbol ever.
    I found my hardware test disk and tested the system -- no probs. But the flashing folder remained whenever I restarted.
    Over on the OS 9 board, there is a discussion about this flashing icon previous to my crisis today, and the group said an internal battery is the problem. I asked exactly what model I needed for my old iBook (I'm in Germany, and the Mac store here needs exact names and numbers for anything to do with my old system). I was told "Your lime iBook ca. 2000 machine has the Apple designation of iBook (Firewire). That model, like all iBook models, does not have a separate backup (internal) battery such as some PowerBook models and all desktop models have. The only battery the iBook models have is the main battery." A poster suggested I head over here on this branch of the forum and seek advice. But I posted to the wrong portion of this branch so, hopefully, this is the right one.
    Someone on the other branch said something about resetting something... but if I can't turn the computer on (past the flashing icon), then how can I reset anything?
    I JUST replaced this battery, not a year ago. But about six months ago, it started losing all power after just an hour or so, and I would have to reset the clock, etc. when the power just suddenly ended when my computer was unplugged. Now, I can't unplug my computer at all except for a few minutes, otherwise, the batter just quits suddenly, poof. I put the old battery back in today, but it didn't help.

    I'm not sure what you are reading but it doesn't sound like a battery problem. It sounds like the iBook can't find a valid system folder to start from.
    In KB 58042, A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac under "Steps for Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9" you will find the following:
    The possible causes and solutions for this symptom appear in the order that you should try them. If any step resolves the issue, you don't need to continue to the next one. If at any time in this process you determine that your System Folder or its contents are missing or were intentionally deleted, reinstall Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9.
    If you normally start up from Mac OS 9 but don't have a Mac OS 9 CD that can be used as a startup disk, follow the steps for Mac OS X above. Some computers include Mac OS X Installation CDs and a Mac OS 9 Restore CD that can't be used as a startup disk. Once you've started up from Mac OS X, make sure a copy of Mac OS 9 is installed. If you erased your disk since the last time you started up in Mac OS 9, you may need to need to install Mac OS 9 drivers.
    Start the computer from the Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 Installation or Restore CD that came with the computer.
    Open the Utilities folder and locate Disk First Aid.
    Open Disk First Aid and repair the disk.
    Open the Startup Disk control panel.
    Choose your hard disk as the startup disk.
    Restart the computer.
    Note: If your hard disk is not available (mounted) when started up from CD, reset the PRAM as described below, then repeat these steps. If your hard disk is still not available after resetting PRAM, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Technical Support.
    If you can't choose your hard disk in the Startup Disk control panel, your System Folder may have been altered or removed. In some cases, you may solve the issue by moving files back into the correct location in a process known as "reblessing" the System Folder. A "blessed" System Folder is one that is recognized as a valid startup System Folder, as indicated by the appearance of the Mac OS logo badge on the System Folder.
    Reblessing the System Folder only works when all the original files are still installed and in the correct location (or you can put them back in the correct location). If any files have been deleted, you may need to reinstall system software. If you have deliberately removed System Folder files, this includes putting them back where you found them.
    Additionally, you should only have one folder named "System Folder" on your disk (not to be confused with the folder named simply "System" that is installed by Mac OS X, if both systems are installed on the same disk).
    To rebless your System Folder:
    Start up from CD.
    Close any open windows.
    Open the hard disk.
    Choose By Name from the View menu.
    Locate the System Folder. Tip: You should only have one System Folder. If necessary, rename any other "System Folder" you're not using. Don't rename "System" if Mac OS X is also installed.
    Open the System Folder. At this time, you should replace any items that you have previously removed from the System Folder, if applicable.
    Do one of the following:
    ->If Mac OS X is not installed or is installed on a different volume than Mac OS 9, drag the System suitcase and the Finder to your hard disk icon. If you have more than one hard disk, drag the files to the hard disk where the System Folder is.
    ->If Mac OS X is installed on the same volume or partition as Mac OS 9, create a new folder outside of the System Folder but on the same disk, then drag the System suitcase and the Finder to the new folder.
    Close the System Folder.
    Drag the System suitcase and Finder back onto the System Folder icon.
    When the Mac OS logo reappears over the System Folder, it has been reblessed. Select the folder in the Startup Disk control panel, then restart the computer.

  • Solved my iPhone 5 Battery Problems: Maybe it can help you!

    Hi every one, I saw many topics regarding battery problems with the iPhone 5. I responded to one discussion describing what I did to solve the iPhone 5 battery dying fast on me. So I thought I'd make a discussion here to help out other users with the same problem.
    I would have 25-30% drop with in the hour and all I did was text a couple of my friends. I was using an iPhone 4 for the longest time, and on that phone I was able to watch videos, listen to music and use all the other features of the phone. The battery still lasted me the whole day, I was getting  worried that I wouldn't be able to use the iPhone 5 the same with out it dying on me fast.
    My friend suggested draining the battery and then charging the phone to see if any improvements were seen. I did that and I saw a small change in the battery strength. I drained the battery two more times, and that is when I saw a huge difference.
    I use my Phone as my iPod when I work out, and I run continuous music on it for 1.5-2 hours straight, along with sending texts to my friends. In this duration I would only use 15-20% which was a huge improvement from before. I would say that the battery life was on par with my iPhone 4 battery! It is such a relief, now I can use my iPhone 5 to it's fullest potential without having to worry it'll die on me fast.
    I recommend other iPhone 5 users try draining their batteries a couple of times before charging as well if they are experiencing problems.
    Hope this helps!
    Dylan

    I would let the battery completely die before I would charge it again. I would keep 3g off and only turn it on if I'm going to use it and turn it off again. Because the phone uses more power for the 3g/4g that the battery dies even faster.
    I text a lot to friends so I'm constantly texting through out the day and when I work out continously run music on it for close to 2hours. It would only drain 15-20% of the battery, which really is a huge improvement.
    I also use Siri quite often through wifi and it barely uses any battery power. Try letting the phone die until it turns off a couple of times before you charge it. That is what I did before a friend requested doing that after I was getting fraustrated with the battery power.

  • IPod touch Battery Problems Since iOS 7 was installed last year.

    Hello, I've had recurring battery problems with my iPod touch since the iOS 7 update was installed, and I find myself having to charge my iPod touch (5th Generation) a lot more frequently since I installed this update.
    On iOS 6, I had never experienced any problems with the iPod touch's battery, as I was able to let the battery drain down completely, and let it charge for 4 hours (recommended). After the iPod touch was fully charged for 4 whole hours, I was able to unplug the lightning cable, and the iPod touch on its own would last a few days to at least a week or two weeks.
    On iOS 7, since it saw its general release on the 18th September last year, I have found that the iPod's battery has drained so bad, that it dies too quickly, and when I put the iPod touch on charge, in almost an hour, the iPod touch tells me that it is 100% charged. However, when I take the iPod touch off its charge after it fully charges for that hour, it quickly drains down again.
    I have gone through the standard procedure of restoring my iPod touch to its factory settings, and I have seen absolutely no improvement on the battery life whatsoever. I mainly back up whatever is on my iPod touch (I back up pictures, videos and also transfer updates that I have installed for certain apps onto iTunes), though I have seen how some people have backed up the data on their iPod's or iPhones, only they find their iDevice draining so quickly.
    Even turning off certain features in the Settings app to improve the battery life doesn't help, as there is almost no difference that solves the problems I'm currently having with the iPod touch's battery.
    I recently heard about the free iPhone battery replacement program which is now available, so I'm starting to worry whether I have to pay for a new replacement battery for my iPod touch.
    Your help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.
    Many kind regards,
    Alex Smithson

    I mainly charge the iPod touch itself for four hours and it still doesn't make a difference. I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years and since I installed iOS 7, it still doesn't make a difference.
    I was wondering, if the article you have provided doesn't sort the problems with the battery out, is there another alternative??
    Your help and advice is most appreciated.
    Many kind regards,

  • Macbook Battery Problem

    Hi all, this is my first post, but something weird happened to my macbook that I have to share with you.
    Ok, my Macbook Core Duo 2.0GHz (1st generation) have had no problem during its first and half year. Then I left the notebook sitting at home for one month as I was away on business. Came back, the machine won't start, used AC adaptor and showed the battery not charging, "x" and everything. My warranty expired, so I bought a new battery. Once I got that, it worked fine for almost 7 months.
    Another business trip left my macbook for 1 month, I came back, the battery is dead again!!! So I went to apple support and bought another new battery. This time I installed it at home, and it doesn't charge what-so-ever. I tried everything from SMU reset, PMU reset, P-RAM reset. NOTHING WORKED.
    So I took a friend's macbook battery to try, and it worked! I can charge that battery with my macbook, and my battery won't charge on his macbook. So scientifically I thought its the battery defect. I went to Apple Care and they say they will replace it for me, but think that it should be my macbook's problem. Must be the Logic Board, I explained why I disagree, and that the battery came with only one LED blinking when I got home to charge, the current was already too low to charge.
    Anyways, I was able to buy a second-hand battery really cheap but with limited life-span and use it until my replacement battery returns. Everything seem fine and I can charge it up to 100% although it will only last me 50-mins, still not bad, right?
    I was reluctant to completely drain this battery now since I am afraid it will drop to zero and won't recharge like the other ones.
    I am using Boot Camp, and Vista as well as OS X. Suddenly today, two days after I bought the 2nd hand battery, I was using Vista to show my friend the battery problem is fixed. But suddenly out of nowhere the battery dropped from 95% charged to 0% in seconds. It shuts down automatically, and the battery was flashing one LED indicating it's dying.
    I started back in Mac OS X and found the charger able to recharge, but it fixed at 0% for 20 minutes. I thought I am screwed and went out for a smoke. I came back to see the battery charging back to 5% and then slowly to 10%, and 20%, suddenly it went back to 85% in seconds, and then 100%. I try to unplug it and it seemed fine. I left it on without the adapter for 20 minutes, the battery drain normally, to 70% (it's fine considering the battery was 2nd hand) My friend thought I should try to switch back to Vista to see if the same thing will occur. So I did, and before the Vista screen came up, the macbook blacked out. I checked the battery indicator and it's flashing one LED again!!!
    So I switched back to Mac side and re-do the charging, this time it took longer to get back to +90%, I thought this is normal, 'cause I did use the battery longer on the Mac side before switching to Vista for the test.
    I thought to myself, why Vista drained my battery, and then I remember the first battery that died on me was about the time I switched the PC side to Vista. Prior to that, the PC side was using XP. The second time it died it was in Vista as well. I also remember I wanted to reduce the size of my PC partition, so I trimmed off unnecessary features like hibernation by (Powercfg -h off). It saved 2G in size but it may be causing some problem to the charging circuit for the Mac-hardware??? Don't know for sure.
    So I erased my Vista partition, and re-installed XP. Since then I tried both sides without adaptor, usually for 10-minutes or less, and no sudden dropped to 0% occurred since.
    Everything else is working fine with my macbook, except the power features. Right now at least I can charge the battery, but I am always worried about when or IF the battery will dropped off and kill itself.
    I am waiting for the replacement battery to return from APPLE, and hopefully when it returns, my Macbook will be able to recognize the DEFAULT low-charge of a new battery. I'm still not sure if my macbook is defective, and if it did killed the first battery replacement they gave me a few days ago. If it did kill a decent battery, will it kill this new replacement as well??
    I know for a fact that the reason why the machine won't charge the battery is because the current of the battery has become too low for the machine to be able to charge it. If the current becomes lower, the "X" will occur suggesting that the machine doesn't even recognize it's a battery. But what I want to know is what caused the battery to drop to such a low current if I turned off the macbook during storage.
    Sorry for the length of this post, but I have to be clear on all the details if I want help, I suppose. Right now my question is (1) Why is this occuring?? (2) Am I right in assuming that by removing Vista with XP, the problem will not repeat?? (3) Is it likely for any new or 2nd hand functioning battery to drop to the state of the other battery any time soon?? (4) Am I doing proper care for my Macbook, and what should I do in the future to avoid the same problem from occuring??

    gpotts,
    Thanks again, here's my battery profile: (keep in mind this is the 2nd hand battery I am profiling) BTW, something happened when I was doing this message, I left the notebook on for about 20 minutes, it dropped from +90% to 48%, macbook prompted me that the battery is running low. I plugged the adaptor and it went back to +95% within minutes...
    Good thing is, I haven't seen the sudden drop to 0% ever since I removed Vista, and also I am able to charge my battery everytime I try now, no more "NOT CHARGING" or "X" indication.
    Any clues??? Thanks in advance.

  • 2 different battery life readings?

    Im alittle confused here. im getting 2 different battery life readings.
    For instance, on the iphone(small battery on the top right of the screen) it shows
    around 40% charge left. When i connect it to my pc the big green bar shows up. but it shows that i have over 50% charge left. Why is this?

    The bar in the top right corner of the screen is just used mainly as an idea of how much is left. The green bar is larger, therefore can have more detail, so it can so a more accurate reading.
    HTH,
    Jenna

    Hi,
    There is a solved thread on this page about this error. The solution is to replace the battery because its storage capacity is low. The right part number can be found in a maintenance and service guide. Go to Support and Drivers page, enter your model and look in User Guides section.
