Battery Indicator .. sometimes green/sometimes white
I love my iPhone. But I just noticed that on the main menu screen, the battery light is white. When I open an application (depending), it's fully green.
Green in:
SMS
Calendar
YouTube
Maps
Clock
Settings
White in all the rest. Including the main screen before you slide to open. Stats all look fine. What gives?
Normal. No worries. That's the way iPhone displays the battery.

I know the battery indicator used to be green all the time. But last night, after charging, I looked at it and the battery indicator was full (100%) and it was green, but when I pulled the plug, it became white. Still at 100% but it is now white or grey. I looked at it in different screen colors and different applications but it is always either white or black, never again green. Can someone please tell me what happened? Is there something wrong and can I get the green battery indicator back? Thanks.
I read somewhere that if the background is light, it's supposed to be green, and if the background is black, it changes to white or grey. However, mine never becomes green unless it is charged. When in a black background, it is white/grey and when in a white background, it is black. It never becomes green anymore.

My iPad Air is not charging. I have it plugged into an electrical outlet with the charger it came with. The battery icon keeps changing from green to white and a message...Accesory May Not Be Supported keeps coming up on the screen. I just purchased it on March 1, 2014 and this is very annoying.
you are using the cable and charger that came with it?
you have charged successfully with them before?
you are under warranty, so I suggest you make an appointment with a genius at the Apple Store and have them look at it. Sometimes the charger plug is faulty. -
My battery indicator is on green but the percentage is not showing on the phone
My phone was working fine this morning then suddenly on the home screen the battery percentage disappeared. It was at 56 percent when it disappeared. I shut the phone down, that did not change it. I checked the battery indicator and it was still set to green. I shut it off and then turned it on again. Still no percentage showing on my phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Since you have already performed a restart, the next user step is a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Check then.

My 13.3" macbook pro will not power up.The battery indicator light does not come on.The Mag safe charging light flickers green and red dimly.I had a cell phone connected to the USB port.
This didn't work for me, so I did a bit of searching and TONS of pages later in google, I found an answer. Here are the steps for people who also were in my situation:
1. Take off bottom case
2. Unplug battery - blurry image here: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/03cC79r5Dx4/0.jpg
3. Press and hold power button for 5 seconds
4. Plug a charger in, and it should start booting up
5. After shutting down again, reconnect the battery and close the case up
6. It works! (hopefully, if you guys had the same situation I did) -
Green battery indicator still flashing when battery is fully drained?
I'm currently calibrating my battery from my aluminum macbook (with removable battery) and drained the battery. The white front led isn't flashing anymore as expected according to the calibration guide.
However, after 2 days now I still see the battery indicator flashing 5 times when I press it. Does this mean the battery is not yet fully drained?
Quite strange because with my previous black Macbook, when the battery was fully drained, battery indicator on the bottom of the battery didn't flash when I pressed the button.You really only need to let it sit for about 5 hours after it goes to sleep on its own. That will drain the power "enough". The blinking is normal as an indication that the battery is drained. Lithium Ion/Polymer batteries have circuitry which will prevent their charging if they discharge below a certain critical level. Once your machine has gone to sleep due to running low on power and you let it sit for about five hours after that, you can start to charge it up again. Basically, follow the instructions for calibrating the battery. You don't want the battery to sit fully discharged for any extended period of time.

My Brand New ipod nano (sold to me two days ago by Apple as replacement for previous ipod nano -15 months old and therefore out of warranty - which had suddenly stopped functioning altogether) will operate only when attached by cable to either power adapter, usb port on my laptop or when playing on a docking station. When detached, it stops playing and screen goes dark and it will not respond to any buttons, despite being charged several times for many hours on different chargers. The battery indicator stays on lightning flash symbol on white background and has only momentarily shown fully charged symbol once !
I am baffled as to why this new ipod has a similar problem to the old ipod.
Is there a virus out there which can have this effect and which I may have picked up on my Pc and have inadvertently transferred to both ipods when sync-ing ?
My PC has Norton anti-virus software.
Any suggestions , please ?Sounds like the Nano has a faulty battery. You should be able to have Apple swap it out again for you at no cost.

Iphone battery indicator says 100% but the icon is black not green
i have a iphone 5c. the battery indicator icon on top says 100% but the icon is a batter but its all black not green. is that right? should it be all green?
You need to make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar to have it evaluated by the techs there. We are just users like you and cannot possibly diagnose what's wrong with your phone without looking at it.

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.

What is this symbol? (arrow next to the "Battery Indicator"
Ok, a little arrow pops up next to my battery percentage indicator (extreme top right corner) sometimes it's there (to the left of the indicator), sometimes not. Sometimes it points directly at the power indicator (points to the right), sometimes it points to the right at about a 15 degree upward angle?!?!
What is this thing!!!!????Chris CA wrote:
Neither of the links provided by either of you prove your point directly.
The link I posted above, when opened on the iPad in Safari (after it opens in Safari, click the curved arrow and save it to the Home Page), opens a nice web page (iPad Guide) that works and looks just like the Settings on the iPad and describes and shows pix of the icons at the top of the iPad.
And it wasn't to "prove a point".
It was to help the OP.
Sorry Chris, but your post did say ". . . .this link shows examples ...", and the point I was making was that it did nothing of the sort. It's like you asking how to spell something and me providing a link to a dictionary; accurate, sure, just not that helpful. Besides, I thought I'd made it clear that I did in fact know just what the link was. -

What happened to the battery indicator on my ipad's lock screen?
I've noticed recently that the large green (or red, if low) battery indicator that used to appear on the lock screen when my iPad 2 was plugged in has disappeared. I have searched in vain for a setting for this, could someone point me in the right direction? It could have happened when I updated to iOS 5.0.1, but I am not quite sure the time matches up, and it seems like a silly change to make. Also, my iPhone has the battery indicator, and it's also on 5.0.1.
The issue may also be caused by the power source that you are using:
iPad: Charging the battery
If you don't see the white charging or plug icons, try connecting to the 10W power adapter.
iPad: Charging the battery
To charge your iPad battery, try one of the following:
Connect iPad to a power outlet using the included cable and the 10W USB power adapter.
Connect to a high-power USB 2.0 port using the included cable. -
Hey, just wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem: The battery indicator in the systemwide menubar (not the LED's on the bottom of the machine) gets stuck at a certain percentage, and won't become accurate until restart. I also think it important to note that other apps that moniter the battery are also inaccurate when this one is. It's a bit aggravating not to know your battery's charge, and to have to restart the whole MBP to get it. Hope I'm not alone here...
Well, I encountered this issue mainly with the display of the remaining time that you have with your battery. Sometimes it would go into "Calculating..." and get stuck there. So I eventually started to use the percentage display. This seems to get stuck at 99% sometimes. But I rarely use the mbp on battery power so I don't know if this happens at other percentages as well. But I think you are not alone with this problem.

Iphone 3G strange battery indicator readings (not typical issue)
I know a lot of people are complaining about long charge times and not reaching full charge but my problem is quite unique and after many hours searching I have not found a similar issue.
I have noticed that my iPhone charges very quickly usually in less than an hour. I verify this by looking for the plug icon at the top of the screen and at the horizontal battery indicator seen when waking the phone from sleep.
The strange part besides my fast charge times is that sometimes when I charge my phone from about 20-30% battery life it will show the lightning icon at the top..then a few minutes later I will see the plug even though the phone is obviously not close to being fully charged...the plug will go away after a few minutes and revert to the lightning until it finally finishes. Is this situation a reason to get a replacement unit? I already installed the latest update. I am not noticing any signs of poor battery life or stuck indicator besides this one issue. Am I the only person that has the plug icon show when the iPhone is in the middle of being charged???
also I have reset the phone multiple times yet in the usage menu, it shows that the phone has never been reset. These are all minor quibbles may be but I want to know if it is justified to seek a replacement phone...thanksHey, i did experience the same problem. my battery would charge half way, displaying the lightning icon, and then the it would stop charging, displaying the plug icon. my battery wouldn't charge to the max. I was pretty ****** off about it so i went to my nearest apple store and told them about the problem; now i have an appointment to see a technician. After going to the apple store i used my iphone until the battery was completely dead and then i plugged it to my computer. After a few hours it charged completely (plug icon appearing when fully charged)???? i don't know what happened. Now i'm just testing my iphone's battery life to see the the problem arises again. so far it seems to have improved after i completely drained the battery. (tip)
I'm gonna keep on testing the battery and see if the problem arises again. -
Battery indicator constantly flashing
The LED battery life indicator on the back of my iBook's battery is constantly flashing a single dot. This happens wether or not I have pressed the button on the battery and even when the battery status in the menu bar reads a 50%+ charge (shouldn't it be showing at least 2 dots).
Why won't it stop blinking? Why don't the lights match up with what is shown in the battery status indicator in the menu bar?How old is the battery, and how long does it last when you run from it? Does it flash even when running on the adapter?
Normally, one flashing light indicates a dead battery. Sometimes when the battery gets old, the status of the battery charge percentage does not read correctly on the iBook's battery status indicator.
Sometimes calibrating the battery will make the battery status indicator reflect a more accurate picture of your battery status. -
Lumia 820 battery indicator problems
I have some problems with the battery indicator. Sometimes it freezes at random percentages. Ex: i charged my phone; the battery indicator shows 100% and it remains at 100% even though i use the phone for many hours. I know the battery is not full and the indicator changes only when the battery reaches critically low level. Some other times it freezes at 77 or so. Ex2: during charging the indicator shows actual battery level(let's say 25%). But if i try listening some music, the indicator goes instantly to 100%.
i find these software problems a little bit annoying.
Solved!
Go to Solution.hi mate,
have you tried performing a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons together until the phone vibrates)? also ensure that you have the latest Nokia system app updates installed from the Store. have you also taken your battery out and replaced it after ten minutes. failing that, you may need to perform a hard reset (Settings > About > Reset your phone). make a backup before doing this to PC and/or online storage first of your data, as a hard reset wipes all data.
Failing the above, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care for inspection: http://nokia.com/support
