Battery info very inaccurate...

I know apple said the battery display was approximate but it will be 100% straight off the charger and I will play ~30 secs. of video and stop. the battery bar is down to like 80% and then after about 2 mins. it goes back up to 100%. It really needs to be more accurate because I can't tell how much longer I have left. My battery is dead every day when I get home from school and I watch probally 5 mins of video during the day and about 2 hours of music or LESS and when I get home its down to 5-10%. Today it died completly but I can understand that, I watched the family guy movie for about 30 mins and when I started the battery was at like 10% then I paused it after 20 mins of playback and the battery was completly gone, I couldent see any color in the bar but yet it still played another 10 mins of video.
summary:
I get scared at school because my battery is down to like 15% with an hour or 2 left in school and I dont want it to die before I get home because the bus is so annoying and I gotta have my music. but yet I can watch 30 mins of video when the battery is at 10%. its confusing to figure out how much time I really have left.. i really hope apple at least trys to make it a little more accurate.

but the thing is, 3 days ago I wanted to test the battery so I played the family guy movie (about 1 hour 30 mins) and the battery lasted so i started it again and it lasted for a total of about 2 hours and 10 mins.
so I think the battery is alright but the battery indicator is giving false info and its scaring me.. im about to test the video playback again and see if it lasts for 2 hours.
btw mine is also engraved and I dont have a local apple store.. kentucky isint the most popular state

  • Do you gotta plug up your iPod 5 gen while it's updatting to ios8? Because I updated mine and it won't stay charged plus it's losing battery life very fast.

    Do you gotta plug up your iPod 5 gen while it's updatting to ios8? Because I updated mine and it won't stay charged plus it's losing battery life very fast.

    You have not provided enough info to really help. How fast is fast?
    What shows it will not stay charged?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Why is the location info so inaccurate

    When adding location information to titles for video clips or photos in iMovie for iOS5 the location is very inaccurate... Usually displaying only the nearest airport or major city closest to where the clip or photo was taken... More accurate information is displayed in other apps for the same clips & photos... Is there a way to have iMovie display this more accurate location information?

    I know the location info is rubbish.
    I tend to manually edit (tap the wording on the world map) to what I want it to say.

  • Battery % display is inaccurate on my iPad since IOS6.0.1, when will this be fixed?

    I find that the battery % display is inaccurate on my iPad since ios6.0.1. Same is happening on my iPod touch. Today my battery was showing as 93%, I stopped the apps, did a power off and on again and the battery went back up to 98%. Maybe this is why people are reporting battery draining quickly. While I was using my ipad with an external power source the percentage battery was also seen to go down. Is this going to be fixed?

    Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
    Then make sure to try the suggestion I made earlier - the symptoms you are describing are typical of meter calibration -  if for no other reason than to eliminate it as a cause.

  • MISSING: Time, Date, Battery Info

    Since the new update, the Time, Date, Battery Info, etc that is normally in the top right hand corner toolbar is gone.
    Going into system preferences to click the box for time doesn't work, because it is checked.

    I am using a Panasonic  HDC TM 300.
    I have tried copying the individual .mts files and copying the entire folder structur. Neither of these show the EXIF info in the PPro cs 4 metadata (EXIF section).
    As I said the date/time info etc  shows up in  Adobe Bridge.
    Am I missing something or is this a problem with PPro cs 4??

  • Battery info in different language

    battery info in different language

    There are more than 50 different computers called MacBook Pro, with several different batteries, and Mac OS X is available in dozens of languages worldwide. Where are you seeing this information? what language does it appear to be? What language(s) do you use?
    MUCH more background information will be needed for anyone to respond to your terse statement.

  • Battery Draining Very Fast after Updating 7.1.1 ... And after switching Off Location Service.,Siri.,and 3G

    My Battery Draining Very Fast after Updateing 7.1.1

     Your device might keep syncing your Emails,  Contacts and some other applications. 
    Reboot your device in this manner, when the device On,  connect to the wall outlet charger and remove the battery. Leave it for 30 minutes then reinsert.  You may need to do it once a day, until the issues solved.  Reboot in this manner will fix any incorrect battery meter and similar apps error.

  • Cannot find Battery Info in System Profiler

    Cannot find "Battery Info" in System Profiler (4.0.4).
    Originally, I was going to title this post "battery not charging" - which is why I am looking for battery details. Of course, as soon as I started typing the battery clicked up a notch (29% to 30%).
    So, I got a confused battery and a confused System Profiler.
    A couple of weeks ago I had drained the battery completely and had to even run off the backup battery as I quickly finished what I was doing. I had since fully charged the battery and thought there were no problems.
    Then suddenly a couple of days ago, I looked up and it was stuck at 33%. When I tried to switch from "Percentage" to "Time", all I got was a "Calculating...", which it never actually did. I tried unplugging the computer, and it indeed did run off battery power, so it was at least communicating power-wise, if not information-wise. Two days of fiddling around offered no solutions. (Zapped the PRAM, reset PMU). Meanwhile the battery kept on not charging.
    Then, I start typing here and suddenly the battery is communicating with the computer. Percentage is ticking up and there is even an estimated "time until full". However, System Profiler still does not see any battery, or in fact even give me anything to click on for power management. It's not under Hardware, Software, Network or Logs. "Extended Report" doesn't find it either. I'm hoping I am just missing it somehow... is "Battery Information" hidden somewhere?
    The battery plug has now switched from green to orange and the indicator icon from a battery with a plug, to a battery with a lightning bolt. While I was trying to figure out the problem, I have taken out the battery several times, so I doubt it would be a simple connection issue.
    While I would like to believe my computer has magically healed itself, I suspect that something is still amiss. Maybe earlier versions of System Profiler did not have Battery Info?

    Hi, RW, and welcome to Apple Discussions. System Profiler prior to the version that came with Tiger doesn't report any battery info. If you're running Panther, that's why you can't find anything about your battery in SP. Jeremy Kezer's XBattery will provide info about your battery in Panther.
    Test to see whether your battery charges with a different, known-good AC adapter. That's the cheapest component of the charging system to replace if yours is faulty, and with luck that will prove to be where the problem lies. Other possibilities are a bad battery, DC-In board, or logic board.
