BAttery no longer showing on iPhone while charging

Last night when I charged my iPhone the big green battery was on the display the whole time. Tonight as I'm charging it the screen goes blank and I have to hit the home button to see the battery. Anyone else notice this change in behavior? If not then does you iPhone show the green battery while charging or does your screen go blank?
It's not a big deal but I was a little surprised to see the change.

The little battery in the upper right on my screen is NEVER green, even when the battery is fully charged. It's white, even when it is charging. On the other application screens, it is green or partially so, but not on the main one.
I'm not sure if you mean that battery icon, or the giant one that comes on when you start to charge. If you mean the big one, I have only seen it twice, and the other times, it goes to a black apple screen and then the regular main screen as it charges.

    Hi DaVince Vince,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

    Can i still use my iphone while charging?

    Yep, of course! It will neither stop your iPhone charging, nor deplete your iPhone battery.

  • HT1476 is it ok to use your iPhone while charging it? or should i turn it off first?

    It's perfectly OK to use it while charging. It will get warmer than when it is not.

  • Does it harm the battery if we use the laptop while charging?

    If we use while charging, is the power required directly taken from the external supply or from the battery itself. Which is the safest way to use the laptop without drawing power from the battery?

    No harm is done. There is enough power from the adapter to run the laptop and charge the battery. There is hardware and software in place which prevents any problems. The laptop will not take power from the battery while the AC adapter is plugged in.

  • Will using iphone while charging use up battery cycle?

    battery capacity decreases as we repeat charging / using the phone.
    but what if we use it while it is being charged? will it just use power from
    the power source or charge+use up batter at the same time?
    i hope it can just use draw power from the external power source and leave
    the battery alone if it's full, then I can just use bluetooth and leave
    the phone in the dock to not waste battery cycles.

    There are two issues here. A cycle is the EQUIVALENT of one complete use of the battery from fully charged to depleted. But it can take place over multiple uses and charges. There is no way to avoid using cycles (or portions of them) other than leaving the phone plugged in all the time. Which brings us to issue two:
    The worst thing you can do to your battery (other than letting it get very hot) is to leave it plugged in all the time. This is not because it will overcharge. As others have pointed out, the phone is smart enough to prevent overcharging. But li-ion polymer batteries like to get some "exercise" to say fresh. Apple recommends the equivalent of at least one cycle per month. If it's plugged in constantly, it will not get enough exercise and its capacity will diminish.

  • Using iphone while charging in home or car??

    Could that create any battery problems if done daily? I use the phone off and on for about 6 hours and the battery takes a dive then. I have to start switching off the wifi as I am not in that environ most of the time. Thanks!

    If you think about it, keeping the phone plugged in limits the amount of cycles on your battery so that's a plus. If your phone is dead after 6 hours of off and on use (not solid talk time) and plummets from some battery to none, then you might want to talk to Apple. Otherwise I would recommend NOT USING a case while talking with the charger connected because charging tends to heat up electronics and heat is an enemy of battery life. Of course after a short while the relevant question will become 'Why is the phone cable so short?????'
    Most of my electrical receptacles are at ground level, not into talking while laying on the floor. Just odd, considering the possible lengths of USB cables and the fact that some thought was put into the iPhone cable (no squeeze locks).
    I always want my electronic devices charged up, I don't see that as unreasonable so I'd say you're fine as long as the device doesn't get extremely hot.

    I was using my iphone 4s while plugged into the wall andi noticed the battery was decreasing.  How is this possible if its plugged in?

  • ITunes no longer showing my iPhone apps on sync

    No idea why, but suddenly when I sync my mac OS10 and iPhone it syncs the calendar ok, and it shows the phone screens ok, but no apps show in the apps tab, so I can't transfer anything from to or from the phone.
    I did update to iOS 8.1.2 recently, and though I have synced ever day, I've not needed to look in the app tab before so don't know how long the problem has existed.
    I've tried the usual things.. any ideas?
    Thanks

    Well i never. Four more tries, and suddenly - with not changes at either end -  it worked.

  • HOT iPhone while charging to a wall charger

    hey!
    just wondering if anyone has experienced the same.
    tonight while i was charging my phone to the wall outlet (the one with the changeable prongs) i noticed it getting very hot in the center of the phone. i then took off the case, and changed the cable (the cable was a lil old) and took it to another wall outlet and still got the same heat!
    so after that i plugged it into my computer, and the temp went down to normal.
    hmmmm.... any ideas?!

    Yep, I've had the exact same problem. I thought it was just the case, but after I took that off for a few days, the phone still got hot every time I charge/sync it. I really don't think it's very good for the phone...

  • ITunes no longer shows my iPhone after I installed the latest iTunes update.

    I agreed to install the latest iTunes update and went through all the steps including rebooting. My phone then asked if I trusted the computer and I clicked "trust". It asked again and I clicked "trust". iTunes never opened automatically and when I opened iTunes, I saw that my iPhone5 was not listed; therefore, I can no longer sync. Then I rebooted my (Windows 7) computer again and experienced the same problems. I moved my phone to a different USB port but experienced the same problems.

    I have an AT&T Uverse email account that keeps saying I have an "incorrect user name or password."
    Perhapse it's the same issue since the Uverse e-mail is through Yahoo.
