Charging Icon shows full while charging when iPhone isn't fully charged
The battery/charging icon in the top right of my iPhone 3G will change to the "fully charged" icon while the phone is charging. However, the phone is not truly fully charged. Why is the icon showing up if the phone isnt even close to being fully charged??
I've had the same problem with 2 iPhones now, first one I had wouldn't charge and then just went completely dead. I had it replaced and guess what, same bloody thing. My phone hasn't been charging since last night and I'm honestly getting sick of it. I'm having this one replaced, my third iPhone in the past 4 months. This is the last one, if anything happens to is I want my money back and to **** with it.

Purchased music doesn't play when battery isn't fully charge
When the mini is fully charges everything plays correctly. However if the batter is anything but completely charged it doesn't play the purchased music. I don't know why it does this, other friends with ipod's do not have this type of problem. If there some setting that needs to be adjusted?
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
See if resettting your iPod rectifies the problem...

IOS 7 doesn't change the lighting bolt icon when iPhone 4s is fully charged
When I connect my iPhone 4s to a plug and it starts charging, I can see a lightning bolt on iOS7 next to the battery, but when it is fully charged it doesn't change to a plug icon as it used to change on iOS 6. Any suggestions? Does it damage my battery?
Well, for the time being (I mean, if Apple does not go back to the bolt/plug icons) if the device shows 100% then it's fully charged.
But feel free to let Apple know that you want it in http://www.apple.com/feedback -
How can i know when my battery is fully charged ios 7.0.2
in ios 6, it appears an outlet icon when the phone is fully charged but i cant see that in ios7, it only has a thunderbolt icon. so i dont know when my phone is fully charged. someone helps me?
yeah, i know that. but you know, in ios6, it's not fully charged when it reaches 100%. i have to wait like 15mins when the outlet icon replaces the thunderbolt to know my phone is fully charged. but in ios7, it doesn't have an outlet icon so i dont know if my battery is full.

How can we tell if the iphone is already fully charged in ios7? Even if its 100% the thunderbolt icon is still displayed. Not like in ios 6 that we will know when to unplug the charger because there is an indicator.
For those who seem unfamiliar with what is being asked:
On iOS 6 and older, just because the phone reached 100%, didn't mean it was Fully Charged. The way you could tell was the lightning bolt symbol that indicated the device was charging would change to an outlet plug when the device was not only 100%, but also stopped accepting further charge. This symbol switch would occur anywhere from 5-15 minutes after the device already was displaying 100%.
Now, on iOS 7, while it still reaches 100% with that same lightning bolt charge symbol, during the 100% point, it never switches to the plug symbol to indicate the charge period is totally finished.
Can anyone confirm if there is a way to see this charge completion in iOS 7 since it appears that there is no longer a symbol for it? Is there any indication that Apple may have changed the charging display so that now it only displays 100% when it would have previously displayed that plug symbol? -
4 hours ago my iphone randomly turned off and now i cant get it to turn back on. Ive tried everything, trying to reset it, charging it but nothing works! the charging symbol doesnt even come up when i plugged in the charger. Please help!
Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
Battery does not charge
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

My iPhone has started buzzing or beeping for unknown reasons. It seems to happen when the battery is fully charged as well.
you cannot overcharge the iPhone battery. You can leave it plugged in with a full charge for as long as you want. It will not affect the battery at all.

When my battery is fully charged it says only 5-6 hours left should it no be 7?
i got my macbook pro a few days a go and when my battery was fully charged it says ther is only 5-6 hours left , is there a problem with my battery
For starters, your battery will need to go through a few charge cycles before it reaches its full capacity. That aside, most people won't hit 7 hours in normal use. Apple (indeed, most computer manufacturers) tend to do their battery testing on very conservative settings (somewhat less than most people will use) so their reported battery run times are a "best case" scenario... not an average.
The time remaining indicator is also only an estimate based on your current usage. Your battery has hardware internally that reports the actual percentage of your charge remaining. Your computer than "estimates" how much longer the charge will last. It works sort of like burning gas in a car. The more processor intensive the task (i.e. pushing the gas pedal further), the shorter your charge will last (i.e. the faster you'll burn through your gas).
So, if your computer is just sitting there and you have absolutely nothing running and you have the display backlight turned way down, you may get an estimate of five or six hours... but if you start to watch a flash video or perform some processor intensive task, the estimated time remaining can change so something like three hours almost instantly. It's basically calculating your remaining time on how you're using your computer "now" and that estimate will always update in real time based on your use.
If you want to get a better idea of how your battery is discharging, you can click on the battery icon and have the display show the percentage remaining vs. the time remaining. When you display the percentage, you will get the actual percentage which will not fluctuate like the time remaining may. -
PC freezes when iPod Touch is fully charged
Has anyone experienced this problem before? : When my iPod Touch is connected over USB to a PC and it's (almost) fully charged, all of a sudden the entire PC freezes. Moving the mouse or typing anything on the keyboard has no effect; everything is completely frozen. The only thing I can do is reboot the PC. Also, when this happens, the iPod wakes up (it shows its "Slide to unlock"-screen). Apart from that, the iPod itself still functions normally.
I didn't have this problem until recently so I'm suspecting it's either a bug in one of iTunes' background services (since iTunes isn't running when this problem occurs) or the iPod's firmware. I've got a first-generation iPod Touch with firmware 2.2 and iTunes 8.0.2.20, running on Windows XP Pro SP3. Also, I connect my iPod to the PC using a universal dock (current model).
I have already tried reinstalling iTunes and tried using different USB ports, but that didn't make any difference. Currently I'm trying to see whether it helps to connect the iPod to the PC without the dock. I'll also try to see what it gives if I am running iTunes whilst charging.
I've also seen some forum posts elsewhere with similar issues, but none of these are of much help. (http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1067146 , http://forums.ilounge.com/archive/index.php/t-162474.html and http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=795077)
Does anyone have some more info on this problem? Thanks!You're right about the random thing; at first I thought it only happened when the iPod was fully charged, but it has also happened on random occasions...
Anyhow, I actually managed to get my iPod Touch (1G) charging again, without freezing the computer. The downside is that I can't sync.
What I've done is this:
* I have moved back to the latest version of iTunes (8.0.2.20). I also have the latest firmware on the iPod Touch (2.2).
* I have disabled the following Apple services/startup-programs: iTunesHelper, AppleSyncNotifier and Apple Mobile Device
To do this: Go to Start > Run,
then type "msconfig" (without the quotes), click OK,
then go to the "Services" tab, remove the checkmark on "Apple Mobile Device",
then go to the "Startup" tab, remove the checkmarks on "iTunesHelper" and "AppleSyncNotifier",
then click OK and you'll be asked to restart the computer.
* When the computer has restarted, a window'll be shown that says you've modified your configuration... You'll probably want to check the checkbox in this window; otherwise this window'll pop up every time the computer restarts...
Now your iPod Touch should be able to safely charge without freezing the computer. When you start iTunes now, you'll get the message that says the iPod won't work because the Apple Mobile Device-service hasn't started.
I have disabled this Apple Mobile Device because I'm quite positive it's the cause of all this freezing. If you do need to sync your iPod, it's possible to enable the Apple Mobile Device-service for a while, and then disable it again.
Just do the following to start it:
* Go to Start > Run
* Type "services.msc" (without the quotes) and click OK
* In this new window, look for the "Apple Mobile Device" entry in the list; double-click it.
* Change "Startup type" from "Disabled" to "Manual"; click "Apply".
* Click the "Start" button in this window to start the Apple Mobile Device-service.
* Click OK and then close the "Services" window.
* iTunes will now recognize the iPod Touch again, but the you'll be at risk of freezing the computer... -
Every time i try to charge my Ipod5, the charge icon pop on and on every half second, but no charging actually occur.
I tried with all kind of charger, everywhere in the house and the result is always the same.
So as you can see its a pretty big problem as now that my battery is dead, i can't use my ipod anymore.
The ipod is 2 months old.
Thank you!I do not know what you mean by charger. Cable? Charging source?
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- 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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
