Broken Battery Indicator?

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.

Took apart Macbook pro 13 to remove broken headphone tip in the jack. Had to remove battery to get to the headphone jack. Now the laptop won't start. The power button is just not responding. Battery indicator showed charge of 3 dots initially but now only the last dot is blinking. The power cable used to light up green initially but now the green light is gone. I have tried SMC reset, which didn't work. What are my options?

Asha 200 battery indicator broken

The battery indicator on my Asha 200 is stuck at 100% so I don't notice my battery is flat until the phone just quits working. It does show the charging indicator during charging but goes straight back to 100%, even when not fully charged.
I have removed the battery, updated the firmware (to 11.95), reset to factory settings but nothing works. Any pointers / anything else I can try?
Thanks,

Try re install current firmare

Left side battery indicator broken

Hello.
I'd recently upgrade my Macbook Pro 2012 mid 13" with a new Samsung SSD Evo 840.
The installation went soomth, but now my left side battery indicator won't show how much battery is left on my Mac when i press it.
Anyone else whom may have faced this issue?

Is the battery charge indicated at the right side of the menu bar? If you go to the apple at the left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power does the charge remaining divided by the capacity come out the same as the indicate battery percentage?
Since you replaced the hrd drive with an SSD which is not considered a user upgrade for the 2012 model Apple will not help or repair any damage you may have done.

Battery or battery indicator broken?

I just got a brand new Ipod Nano 16GB 4th Generation a few days ago. When I use it I see the battery indicator empties fast despite my Ipod is fully charged! But when I don't touch any buttons it starts to go back up slowly again, so what's up?

I think it does that because the battery level keeps estimating the true level of the battery and comes up with different estimates each time. For me on my iPod it first says half and then it says zero. When I turn it off and turn it back on it goes to 100% full.

Why has the big battery indicator disappeared?

My iPod Touch (IOS 6.1.3) no longer shows the big battery indicator when the iPod is turned on or plugged in for a recharge. The battery seems to charge ok according to the tiny battery indicator but the big indicator has disappeared for good. Also, when plugged in, the tiny indicator doesn't show charging is taking place.
In addition, the device no longer shows up in iTunes and doesn;t sync. I suspected a defective cable but chraging does seem to work. Have tried recycling power to no efect.

Start with Not Charge

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

My iPod touch 5th generation battery indicator does not update when being charged (Updated to iOS 8)

Note that the iPod touch 5th generation was updated to iOS 8. When I connect my charger to my iPod touch, for the first time, the battery indicator does not update when connected to a power source. Instead of being charged, it says that the battery is being depleted. Please fix this issue. Thank you!

How do you uninstall the wireless service and lenovo battery indicator from the task bar.

Was wondering if there is a way to remove them from the taskbar. Initially I had just the battery indicator and then I downloaded all the lenovo updates (for bios, etc.) and got the wireless service indicator too. They seem kind of redundant to me, as windows 7 already has their own on the task bar and they're just taking up additional space.
I'd atleast like to get rid of the wireless service.
Will this effect anything? Are they that important?

Right click on the Lenovo battery gauge in the taskbar, click "Launch Power Manager", click Options, clear "Show Power Manager Gauge in taskbar" check box. If Options tab is not available, switch to Advanced mode (upper right corner of Power Manager).
Don't recall specifics for Lenovo network icon, but is probably just as simple. Would be better (IMHO) to get rid of Access Connections altogether.
Removing the icons will have no affect on anything, except your piece of mind from removing these ugly and redundant symbols of bloatware. They are NOT important.

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.

Since upgrade to 10.4.4, no sleep, no battery indicator, no airport

1. iBook will no longer go to sleep, not from apple menu, not from power button, not from closing lid. Tried PMU reset. No luck.
2. Since upgrade no battery indicator exists in menu bar. No longer an option to have it there in system preferences. Where did this go?
3. Since software update done after upgrade Airport card no longer works. Internet connect says it's on. System profiler says it's off. Indicator is in menu bar, but no signal bars. Tried PMU reset, deleting locations, resetting wireless router. Other airport cards continue to work fine in our other Macs from the same router.
Using Classic is not an option on this machine. Help please.

Hi,
In these situations it can pay to go to this list http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ and get the Combo installer to run the Update again (Unless of course you told Software Update to keep the .Pkg)
The actual Update will come with link ( In case http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1044.html ) which can be looked at for further info.

Battery indicator is stuck at 100%

After I upgraded by BB Z10 to 10.2.1.2102 / 2141, the battery indicator always shows 100%. Even when battery is getting depleted. Downside is that the phone suddenly shuts down when it's battery is completed discharged. Before shutting down it moemtarily shows the battery indicator color as red (empty), beeps and shuts down.
Have tried a number of things like taking battery out while charging and replacing, deleted a number of apps but no use. I think its an OS problem.
Solved!

MacBook Pro won't turn on or charge or show battery indicator

Yesterday I plugged my phone into my MacBook Pro 13" using a knockoff USB cord (my charger), my phone wouldn't connect and then the screen on my MacBook just went black and it completely shut off. I tried pressing the power button to turn it on and nothing happened. I checked the battery indicator on the side and no lights came on (not even the blinking red one that tells you your macbook's dead or low battery). I plugged in my MacBook charger and it was green for a few seconds and then the light shut off. I unplugged the charger from the socket and then plugged it back into my MacBook and the light starting blinking a faint green and orange and it still would not turn on. I let it sit overnight without being plugged into the charger and today it won't connect to the charger at all and still won't turn on. Any ideas?

Why can't apple put a simple audible low battery indicator on the iphone?

I get so tired of having my iphone shut down on me mid-conversation. My screen is black and up to my ear; my phone is in my purse while I'm talking on my blue tooth and also has a black screen; or my phone is on my hip with a black screen while I talk with my earphones. How in the heck I am going to READ a low batter indicator on my phone behind a black screen? That information would be very helpful if I weren't on my blue tooth. Actually, that 2% low battery notification would very helpful to me if my phone weren't up to my ear with a black screen. Why can't they put a simple audible low battery indicator on the phone?

" How in the heck I am going to READ a low batter indicator on my phone behind a black screen?"
You cannot.
" Why can't they put a simple audible low battery indicator on the phone?"
They can. They have simply chosen not to do so.
