Battery Indicator - won't turn off!!!

Basically, my iPod won't/can't turn off. The little battery in the top right always has a little lightening bolt or plug in it, no matter if the iPod is plugged in or not. The obvious effect is that the battery runs down when I'm not "using" my iPod. I've restored, reset, updated, installed 1.1, uninstalled 1.1 and reinstalled 1.0, etc. I haven't seen anything about this on the site or elsewhere. I'm hoping there's a solution where I don't have to sent my iPod away but it's appearing less and less likely...Please help!

Anyone know anything about this?
Several people have had this problem in the last few days. I don't recall any of those cases being solved.
Nevertheless, try a reset, which is the equivalent of a reboot and won't affect your data. I don't think it'll work, but you lose nothing and it's non-risky.
Reset your iPod.
1) Slide the lock button to ON.
2) Slide the lock button to OFF.
3) Press 'menu' and 'centre' button together for several seconds.
4) Follow the instructions.

  • Lumia 521 battery indicator after a turn off

    hi
    i got a nokia lumia 521 a month ago , today i was with costumer support " t-mobile" and they asked me to turn of the phone pull the battery and take the sim card out , so i did , then they asked me to put everything back and turn it on so i did. but..... the phone didnt come up , by hitting / holding the power button , so i thought maybe my battery was very low when i turned it off , so i plugged my usb charger to the phone , now the phone does the following
    when i plug the usb to the phone , the phone vibrates then goes to NOKIA then straight to the battery indicator with little red and a flashing on/off charging indicator , when i unplug the usb cable the phone turn off.
    is there a trick to fix that ?
    thanks

    Found the problem(S)
    Like people on the other website, the issue is the copper piece on the batteryis not contacting with the phone. That's why the battery icon shows only when its plugged in and nothing at all when its not plugged in. All the complaints I read on the internet has just one problem. It just happens I got two on this phone.........
    1) I had to use a tiny needle to bend the copper piece out to ensure its making contact with the phone
    2) after I bent the copper piece, the battery is still not contacting right, (you can't really tell by looking at it, I was just trying everything people were saying on the web. I spent hours on it and I got it !!!)  I had to cut a business card to slide it underneath the battery. (2 business card thick). If u have same problem, u should try one card thick first. 
    Now the back cover feels like its swelling cuz of the business cards, but comparing to a $600+ phone, this $99 phone I can do everything I need it to, I can deal with that. Just wish I could have found the problem(s) sooner.
    Hope this will help people with the same problem
    Hey, this really helps, after looking for arkane solutions, I just add a piece of bend paper under the batery and it works... notice something,, the batery used to hace a plastic strip por pulling out.. this plastic strip got unglued so i removed, i see this plastic strip thinkness is needed for the wire copper piece to make contact... terrible design.
    thanks for the advice.

    To be totally honest, about 3 weeks prior I spilled some milk from cereal on the desk and a little bit got onto the battery.
    I don't think you have a case.
    You can replace the logic board yourself if you are a DIY'er and save some money.

  • Charged indicator seems to be stuck, ipod won't turn off!!! help

    I took my ipod running last week and it got a little damp in my trousers!!
    Since then it will not turn off anymore. I have let the battery die down. I have reset it on the ipod and on itunes, but nothing seems to help.
    It just won't turn off, the charged sign (large battery with a plug in it) shows all the time.
    If I leave if as it is over night, the battery is then dead.
    Can anybody help me.
    It's an ipod nano 1gen. not even 6 months old.

    If it got wet, set it in a cool, dry place and leave it there for at least a week. Then connect it to power (preferably a wall charger) and let it charge for at least 30 minutes, then Reset it (hold down the menu and center buttons for at least 6 seconds). If it comes to life, connect it to your computer, Restore it in itunes, then let it fully charge.

  • GPS won't turn off

    IiPhone 5, with latest available software- GPS symbol won't turn off. I have shut down all apps (home button twice, cleared all apps in bottom row) but its still on. This has only started happening in last couple of weeks. It's sucking up battery really fast, which is really frustrating as battery life seemed to have improved a bit since latest OS. Any ideas? Thx

    Thanks- Tried this- no go (and i like my Google app, so it going back on  )
    Also tried turning phone off and back on, syncing, but LS remains defiantly on!
    Any other ideas?

  • IPod classic won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock; what's up? will it hurt to leave it on all the time?

    I bought a new iPod Classic and it won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock. Is this normal and will it hurt the iPod if i leave it on all the time?

    Hi there,
    How old is your Classic? Often, after a couple of years, rechargable batteries begin to fail, especially after such a long period of inactivity. This happens with any gadget with this type of battery.
    Try leaving it plugged in for 24 hours, and try again, to rule out that it isn't just really low on charge. If this doesn't help, it may be a good time to buy a replacement. New iPod Nanos and Touches will be released this October.
    Below, I've linked to an Apple website which explains rechargable batteries, and why yours may not be working.

    I hope this helps, and I hope upgrading your device will not feel like an unnecessary expense. Let me know if you have any more questions,
    Nathan

  • HELP!!  IPOD WON'T TURN OFF

    No matter what I do. It's stuck! It won't turn off. Right now it's unplugged from the computer & won't turn off. The battery will run down completely now.
    I also had trouble with my computer recognizing the iPod after I installed the iTunes & software & imported a CD into iTunes library.
    HELP!!
    Lee

    you might try putting it to sleep. go to the main menu and choose settings, and then look around there for "sleep" it doesn't shou up on the main menu by default. select sleep and turn it from "off" to "on" then go back to the main menu and select sleep (press center button) and it should turn off.

  • IBook Won't turn Off.

    Yes, Werid, But My iBook G3 won't turn off. When i Go and click on the apple To "log off, Restart, Sleep Or Shut down" The menu closes and The computer Stays on and does not shut down. I then force Quit all the Programs Runing, And tryed to shut down again, No shut down.
    I have to Press and hold the power button And hold it til' it shuts down or Remove the Battery.
    I know this is not good for the Hard Drive so I run Safe Boot Regerly, But I really what it to shut down again.
    Can anyone help me?
    iBook G3, 128MB RAM, 30GB HD,12"in.,800MHz, Dual usb, 10.3.9

    Do you have to use Force Quit to quit applications? Can you quit applications normally (from the Menu Bar contextual drop-down or using Command + q)?
    Do you still have your OS 9 startup volume? If you're not sure, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and see if it shows up as a startup option. If it does, select it as your startup disk and shut down. Then start up in OS 9 and see if you are able to shut down normally from there. (This eliminates the possibility of a hardware problem if you are able to shut down normally in OS 9.)
    If you no longer have the OS 9 installation, try creating a new user (System Preferences > Accounts). Log out and log in as the new user. Is the new user able to shut down normally?

  • The CRT won't come on and the computer won't turn off. ???

    Hi all,
    I just got another free Rev. A iMac CRT today - it was in an old, abandoned school and the people who were moving everything out of the school thought it was dead, so they gave it to me. I tried starting it up, and it wouldn't turn on. When I took off the back to see if it had any good parts in it, it turned out everything was unplugged in the back, so I plugged it all back it. It worked great, I was deleting the school's files and apps so I could sell it, until a few minutes ago when I tried to wake it up from sleep. The display just wouldn't come on. I though it just wasn't waking up. I tried typing on the keyboard and clicking the mouse, and I finally pressed the power button on the keyboard, when I heard the normal beep it makes when you press the power button on the keyboard and it gives you the dialogue box "Do you wanna turn it off, restart it, etc?" I thought, "this is weird, why isn't the display on?" So I pressed the enter key, figuring that Turn Off was the option selected and that the display would come on when I turned it back on. Sure nuff, the computer turned off. I waited a few seconds and turned it back on. The display still wouldn't come on. I waited a few minutes til I was sure it was all the way booted up. It won't respond to the keyboard, the mouse, repeated jabs in the reset button on the side, or the power buttons on both the unit and the keyboard. I held down the power button for an entire minute and the display won't turn on and the computer won't turn off.
    This is totally bizzare. Does anyone know how to a) turn on the display or b) turn off the computer? It's looking like I'm going to have to unplug it and try again later.
    By the way, it's running 9.2.2, like the one in my signature line.

    I finally pulled the plug and restarted and it's working fine now. Does anyone know what happened? I think it could've had something to do with the PRAM battery; every time I've started it up it's said the date is January 1956 and the time is 9:55. hmmm...
    Edit: I just realized that in addition to the date being 1956, the hard drive was completely randomly renamed to "k hortdpc." ***???
    Another edit: I just realized I probably renamed the hard drive in my frantic random clicking and typing - I probably accidentally clicked the hard drive name and randomly typed a new name in my attempts to wake up the computer. oops

  • Umm...it won't turn off

    I hope I'm not just being dense and missing something obvious, but my iPod simply won't turn off. It's not locked, and I've tried resetting it, but absolutely nothing happens. It will play music just fine, which would be lovely for walking to class if I didn't have to leave it on the charger all day for fear of the battery dying. Any help, or even a "Katelin you're so stupid, just do this" would be greatly appreciated.

    try this
    settings>main menu>sleep
    toggle sleep to "on"
    "Sleep" will now show up on your main menu
    scroll to "sleep"
    hit center button
    It should turn off now. If it's a brand new ipod, I would return it.
    hope this helps
