Battery Percentage Bar ???

I have a new iPhone 5C.  Up until today I had no problems. This morning the battery percentage bar was all black but said 100%.  I plugged it in and the bar was all green and still said 100%.  When I remove the charger plug it goes back to being all black but keeps saying 100%.  Can anyone assist with this issue please?  Thanks.

Hi Lugi, thanks for your reply. I just wanted clarify here as some sites are claiming the downgrading is possible.
Unauthorized modification of iOS can cause security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, and other issues
Downgrading "may" be "technically" possible through jailbreaking, which WILL VOID any and ALL warranty you may have and support from Apple and these forums ( Please read the ENTIRE article I linked to ).
You also put yourself at significant risk of turning your iPhone into a very expensive paperweight.

Anyway I was wondering if I restote via Itunes will the fast discharging of battery improve?
I have found two articles online that may help with the battery drainage issue until Apple releases an update that fixes the issue: 1.)http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/how-to-manage-and-control-cellular-data-u sage-on-your-iphone.
2.) http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/how-to-improve-iphone-battery-life-in-ios -711?utm_campaign=tmo_waylf.
I can not say how good or valid the information in these links may be as I don't have an iPhone.

  • On the ipod touch 4th generation running on ios 6.1.3 can you get the battery percentage as a status bar item?

    I am wondering if you could because it would really help if i could.

    Battery percentage is only available for the iPad and iPhone, not the iPod touch

  • Battery percentage indicator takes a little while to update when resuming from sleep - is this normal?

    Hi folks,
    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro with Retina (13") and have noticed a pecularity with the battery indicator that I'd appreciate an opinion on please.
    I've charged my MBPr battery to full (100% on the menu bar and green light on the MagSafe connector). I disconnect the power and close the lid which puts that MacBook to sleep. After leaving it overnight, I open the lid and and the unlock screen shows the percentage battery having gone down by a couple of percent (which I take to be normal) - e.g. 98%. However, when I unlock and get back to the desktop, it's still showing as 100%. Clicking on the battery icon, it shows as calculating the amount of time left. After about a minute or so, it tells me how much estimated time I've got left, and the percentage indicator updates to give me the correct percentage. When using it normally, the percentage indicator drops on the desktop as I would expect it to.
    Is this normal for it to give the correct percentage on the unlock screen, but then to give the original (pre-sleep) percentage when unlocked, until it has updated and worked out how much time it's got left on battery?
    I've read elsewhere that many folks have been having issues with the battery indicator since Mavericks rolled out, and there are some resets that can be done by pressing various key combinations whilst powering on. I've had the MacBook only a few days, and haven't installed anything on it - it hasn't even been connected to the internet yet - so I assumed that it should be working correctly from the off - unless there's something buggy with Mavericks causing this?
    I would normally shut down a computer overnight, but I like how the MBP instantly resumes when I open the lid. Am also wondering whether it'll take a few charge cycles before the battery reaches full capacity and is properly calibrated. The system report shows that it shipped to me having undergone only 3 charge cycles to date.
    Any opinions would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Gopha

    After some more testing:
    Disabling the battery percentage indicator and then re-enabling it causes the percentage value to update to the 'correct' value. Rebooting the MacBook also causes it to update to the correct value.
    Seems like I'm not the only one with this particular issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24402123#24402123
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24406197#24406197
    as a newbie to Macs and Mavericks, am I right in saying that there is currently an issue with Mavericks?

  • IOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 3G showing numeric battery percentage!!!!

    YES! your guess is right. It was jailbroken. However, I restored the phone to factory settings yesterday and then restored from the most current backup. I did this cause jailbreaking made my phone lag very bad. Everything that came from cydia and cydia itself are gone. What remains is a normal iPhone 3g running iOS 4.2.1 However, the battery percentage continues to show in the status bar! Can someone guide me to get the normal conditions please...

    Yes, there are ways to remove the tweak by using ibackupbot for windows , sorry ! No Mac support. And ibackupbot will find the most recent backup of your devices and select your backup you want to use. Then find that plist and double click on it. It will as you to register but click cancel. You will now see a plist editor, try and find an array/ line that says something about SBBattery or something and remove that line or set the value to FALSE then press F7 or F11 and it should ask you if you want to restore your device and click yes. Your iPhone will not loose any data. Only the plist should of been changed. Sorry for this long guide! :) You might also have a look around the Internet on "How to get battery percentage on iPhone without jailbreaking. When they say add this string/text, do the opposite, find and remove the text they ask you to put in. Or as I said before you can just change the value to false.

  • HT3782 What does it mean "Battery Health" Check battery in the battery menu bar?

    What does it mean "Battery Health" Check battery in the battery menu bar?

    Check the full status by going to the apple in the left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about the Cycle count, Battery Condition, Battery Capacisty, charge remaining.
    Condition should be Normal or there is a problem
    Ratio of charge remaining to cpacity should be close, round off, to the reported battery charge percentage.
    Cycle count tells how many charge cycles the battery has been through, typical lifetime cycle count  for a current generation battery is 1,000 cycles.

  • Battery Percentage not showing up in iOS8

    Every time I try to turn it on in settings > general > usage nothing shows beside the battery bar in the corner. Anyone else having this problem?

    Same. When I restart or reset my 4S it briefly shows battery status as a percentage on the lock screen. Then the screen refreshes and from then on the battery status it's shown as a battery regardless of the Battery Percentage setting.
    I think it started doing this today after I charged it. There were a 9-10 application updates today but no iOS updates.
    iPhone 4S 32GB running iOS 8.1.2

  • Macbook air (11 inch) shows very low battery  percentage when the charger is plugged in

    My macbook air cannot be used when the charger is plugged in.  The battery percentage will go all the way down to 0% very soon and the computer will shut down then. For example, it shows 1:40 left in the battery when I did not plug in the charger, but once I plug the charger in , it will show 0:43 left instantly. What might be the problem and how to resolve it?
    PS: the macbook air can be charged when I shut it down. And it is no problem when the battery is not empty and the charger is not plugged in.

    Thank you very much. Here is the information:
      Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          4128
      Cycle Count:          346
      Condition:          Normal
    Any other suggestions?
    Do I need to make an appointment with the Apple store genius bar?

  • HT4528 What is the squiggly line next to the battery percentage mean?

    There is a symbol next to my battery percentage. Anybody know what it means?

  • Why won't iPod touch get battery percentage?? Is there a way to get battery percentage for iPod

    Why won't iPod touch get battery percentage?? Also is there away to get and show battery percentage Accurately? I know about voice over, but is there a way to get it on the status bar like the iPhone and iPad?

    See:
    [How To] Enable the Battery Percentage with iBackupBot | iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch forums | iFans
    However, as deggie sad it is not accurate on the iPod. Also, some users have reported increased battery drain.

  • Incorrect battery percentage on my iPhone 4

    I have an iPhone 4 and in the past few days it has been showing the incorrect battery percentage. The other day I charged my phone all night and woke up with only %7 battery so I turned it off, but when I turned it back on I had %100. It also keeps dying when I get to only %60.

    Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Status Bar Icon (all the way at bottom).

  • Battery percentage is inaccurate!

    Everytime my iPhone 4's battery gets to about the halfway point (with or without the battery percentage on) it dies! It's extremely frustrating thinking you have all this battery left and then having your phone shut off on you. I've reset, restored, and set up as a new phone on iTunes. Any suggestions?
    I'm not sure if it's a big enough problem that apple would replace my phone? If they even have any in stock..

    Actually, you should make a Genius Bar appointment and have them run diagnostics on your phone. If it's determined the battery is defective, they will replace your phone. It would be worth making an appointment.......

  • OS X Yosemite - Battery Percentage 'Stuck'

    I recently updated my laptop (Macbook Pro 15" Early 2011) to OS X Yosemite from OS X Lion and have found that the battery percentage up in the top menu bar no longer displays the right information. It's almost as though it isn't updating at all to what the battery level should be. The only time that it 'updates' is when I turn the 'Show Percentage' option off and on - then the icon and the battery percentage changes to what it should be at. However, it then sticks at that until I turn 'Show Percentage' off and on again. It happens when charging too going the other way, I could have it on charge for hours from 8% or so and it'll stick at that number despite being fully charged until I 'update' it as per the above. I could even unplug the charger and it still displays the 'charging' icon rather than switching to the battery icon (despite the battery depleting as normal).
    Also, whenever I charge it to 'full', it only ever gets to 98% now and says that the 'Battery is Charged'. I've attached a screenshot to show.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi ..
    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver then select the Battery tab.
    Click:  Restore Defaults
    Then monitor the battery percentages.
    If that didn't help, open the Finder.
    From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac then monitor the battery percentage in the menu bar.

    Hello Neygotsole,
    Having your device malfunction can certainly be frustrating. After reviewing your post, it sounds as though your device is experiencing multiple issues. I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings without restoring from a backup? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.
