Battery charged indicator on iPhone vs iTunes

hey guys:
i'm curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing as i have. when i plug my iPhone into my computer to charge, i will see the battery full indicator on the iPhone before i see it on iTunes. (by full indicator, i mean the little plug icon in the battery meter at the upper right side of the screen.) i've left my iPhone charging a number of times, but iTunes will not show that the battery is fully charged.
Edit - while i was writing this, i looked at my iTunes to see if there were any new podcasts, and low and behold, the charging icon in iTunes changed to the little plug icon as well.
anyone have an idea why this is happening?
peace

Probably just a delay after the USB connection is established, just as my iPhone isn't immediately available in the iTunes source list the second after it is connected - there is a slight delay.
Nothing I've ever paid any attention to, and something I don't think you need to be concerned about.

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! They said it should be pulsating but it's not

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! I already read some reviews and discussion about this. They said that the lightning bolt should pulsate when charging but it's not!

Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ...

Battery Charging Indicator Light Is Out

I own a tangerine iBook, OS X 10.4 operating system.
For a year or so charging the battery while the power cord in has been a "fussy" project -- sometimes it wouldn't charge until I moved the "plug-in-to-the-computer" end of the cord out ever so slightly. I bought a new power cord, but that didn't change things.
I don't have internet at hom, so most days I take my laptop and power cord to the public library and use the library's WiFi to look for work. Yesterday I came home, plugged in the power cord, and no battery charging light. I "jiggled" the cord, got out the old power cord and tried that one, then I tried a different electrical outlet. No battery charging indicator light, and the battery is discharging while I use it with the power cord.
I'm assuming this is an electrical problem that I can't fix, but can anyone fix it? When the battery runs out, will the iBook keep running when plugged into an electircal outlet, or is the electricity not getting to where it need to be?
I've had problems with the battery not charging before, and once I was advised to reset something, but I've alway had the indicator light on, so now I don't know if power is getting to my computer.
I went to About This Computer, clicked on Power and saw this:
AC Charger Information:
AC Charger (Watts):    0
Connected:    No
Charging:    No
which looks like it doesn't think I'm connected to any power source.

Yes, if resetting the PMU doesn't work, it does sound like the DC-in board has failed.
It is not an easy repair (especially for someone who describes herself as "NonTech."

Is it safe to use the Yubi 1200a battery charger for my iPhone 5s?

iis it safe to use a Yubi 1200a battery charger for an iPhone 5s?

According to specs yes. But being a 3rd party device you are subject to their quality.

Going by the reviews (only 8 at this time on Amazon)
Its seems to be a good charger.

Lenovo K 900 --Battery charge indicator always shows 100 %

A strange issue after firmware upgrade in lenovo K 900 , When I charged to 100 % , the phone always shows 100 % charge . It is not getting updated and after using for 6-7 hrs the phone gets switched off without any notice . Now I can charge again and this time the battery charge indicator shows correctly . but again the same issue is seen if the phone is charged to 100 % .

Let it die all the way down, to recalibrate the battery, and then fully recharge. See if that helps.

Dropped MacBook Pro i5 Mid 2012 Fan tries to spin but cuts out, Battery Charging Indicator light showing but cuts out

Good evening,
A few weeks ago i dropped my MacBook Pro (i5 Mid 2012) and it failed to turn on, battery had charge in it at the time.
When i press the power button nothing happens. I have also tried resetting the SMC, nothing happens.
Next i plugged in the mag safe charger, before i pressed the power button i saw the charging light come on for a second then cut out.
If i press the power buttong, nothing happens.
I opened the back of the machine and tried the above steps again to see what happened.
1. When i press the power button nothing happens.
2. When i plugged in the mag safe charger, before ti pressed the power button i see the fan starts to spin for maybe 2 seconds then stops. I hear the hard drive start to spin but that also stops at the same time, during this the front batter charging indicator light also illuminates, but also cuts out.
Its like when you attach the charger it wants to do something but stops everything after 2 seconds. I left it plugged in for maybe 1 min and its just repeated this action maybe 20 times.
At no stage when i press the power buttong, plugged in or not does it react.
I have taken out the hard drive and plugged into another manchine as an external drive and it works perfectly. Hard drive is no problem! From what i can see all connections are ok, and appear to be plugged in correctly, no burn marks or damage visible.
Logic board failure from impact?
Thanks,
Gary

Wouldn't this be better in the Macbook Pro forum than the Pages forum:

Why doesn't my battery charging indicator shown during charging?

Hoping somebody can help. Ever since the install of IOS 6 when I plug in my iPad I hear the sound the when the attempt to charge is recognized. It the indicator no longer shows on the screen.
Thx

The charging indicator shows on my iPad running iOS 6.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

IPhone battery charging message

I just bought a new iPhone 3G a few weeks ago, I was charging it and while charging I pressed home button and unlocked it and I got the message saying: "Low Battery: 20% of battery remaining". The battery charging indicator was still in red, now it's in green and I don't get this message anymore.
Is this behavior normal while it's charging?
I thought this message would only appear while you're using it at 20% of charge left but not WHILE charging it!
Thanks

Yes, this is normal, and what you want it to do. Why would you not want to be warned of less than available 20% battery capacity while charging? You might have to interrupt the charge to answer a call and it's surely better to know the phone still has a low battery.

Emergency Battery Charger

I would like to purchase an emergency battery charger for my iPhone 3GS that I can use when my phone battery begins to run low on power and I don't have ready access to conventional charging. I purchased an emergency battery charger recently that was to be compatible with all iPhones; however, when attaching the charger to my phone, I get a message on the screen which says "Charging of battery not compatible with this accessory." Does anyone out there know of an emergency battery charger (preferably with a lithium battery) that has the appropriate plug for an iPhone as well as is compatible?

Check out the Just Mobile's Gum Plus. Has a capacity of 4400 and it provides 'fast charging' which means you should be able to obtain 0-90% in like 1 hour. (tested and proven true)
http://www.xtand.net/products/show/productid/9
I am currently using it for my iPhone 4 and it is pretty much an awesome battery pack. I would highly recommend it if you are a heavy power user like me.
If you want a monster, check out Zagg's sparq2.0. It is a massive 6000mah in capcity.
Check it out here: http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggsparq.php
The reason why I would highly recommend these 2 in particular is because they hold enough to even charge an ipad which allows for great fexibility
Hope this helps!

Bluetooth mouse shows inaccurate battery charge

Ever since updating to OSX 10.6.7 my Bluetooth Mouse Battery Charge Indicator has been showing an inaccurate 100% charge all the time until the battery is completely discharged. I tried zapping the PRAM but that doesn't help. Any ideas?

This is a known issue with 10.6.7. The reading will eventually start to drop near the end of the battery life cycle. Nothing we can do but look to Apple for a fix. In the meantime here is a widget you can use in Dashboard:

C3 Battery Charge Cycling

Just recently my one month old C3 has been having charging issues.
When plugged into the wall charger, the phone will report that the battery is full and that it can be unplugged to save energy. It shows a full charge on the battery indicator, but after being unplugged for a minute, the low battery indicator alarm sounds.
I've been monitoring the phone at work this morning and found the following:
When it is plugged into the wall, the phone will report that it is fully charged, but will beep that it is charging every 3 minutes. And then, it will only charge for 20 seconds.
The battery charge indicator animation seems to be very fast as well.
It's been doing this for the last 45 minutes.

hello c3 users,
i ve got a solution, lets c if it works... Ur mobiles r have no problem, so dont worry!!
Just pull out the battery of ur mob, and tight all the jaws of the BATTERY from both sides through which battery holds the mobile plugs... But becarefull these r very sensitive!!!!!!
Tight these jaws through needle coz these r very small,
the problem u guys r telling happens when one of them becomes lose it causes the breakage of the circuit between the battery and mobile and when it happens the mobile sends the low battery signal, mob doesnt turnoff because not all of the circuts r broken, the problem might be in one of them,
so try it and lemme know if it solves ur problem!!

Iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes, will not sync, charge indicator icon does not come on when hooked to usb charger

When I hook my iphone 4 up to itunes, it does not show up on the left. It will not sync, and the lightning bolt charging indicator on the phone does not come on although it appears to be charging over time because the battery level has increasd.
I am running Mac OS X, up to date as is my iTunes. I tried the steps from the website troubleshooting guide and nothing worked.

Additionally, charging through other devices such as my car charger has the same symptoms.
