IPhone battery stays at 100%

Hopefully someone already has a fix for this: after charging my 3GS (with the latest iOS installed), my battery stays at 100% for maybe 20 minutes after moderate use. The it will drain down, but it will shut down when the meter gets to 30%. On one occasion, phone signaled that I needed to restore (I did from back-up). I had hoped that by restoring, the battery issue would be fixed, but nothing happened.
Any suggestions?

I kinda have the same issue with mine except that my iPhone will stay at the same battery percentage that I left it charging on and have to reboot it for it to display the correct percentage. Then I also have an issue where my iPhone randomly restarts and it does this every 5 minutes.

  • Lenovo T500 battery stays on %100 for awhile then drops down to %99 for no reason

    Hi,
    The Lenovo T500 battery stays on %100 for awhile then drops down to %99 for no reason. What's up with this and how do I fix this issue? My laptop is really confusing me. The green battery says it's totally charged %100 and the little AC adapter icon in the system tray says "%99 available (plugged in, not charging.")
    Thanks,
    Liz 

    Hello Liz,
    that is considered to be normal.
    It´s bettter for a Li-ion battery not to be charged fully, so the powermanager don´t load the whole time.
    That´s why the percentage could drop. But thats not a problem thats a feature.
    if your battery handling is set to automatic in powermanager then, eveythings is ok.
    Do you use your machine with AC plugged in the whole time?

  • IPhone battery stuck at 100%

    My iPhone battery was at 60 %, when I plugged it in today. It went straight from 70 % to 100 % and is stuck there now, no matter what...

    First step: Reboot the phone. Hold both buttons until an Apple logo appears.
    This probably will not fix it, so you should recalibrate the battery gauge. Use the phone until it shuts off because the battery is completely drained (actually, it will shut off before that to protect the battery). The charge for 4 hours.

  • Why does my battery stay at 100% for ages and then plummet at 100mph?

    Since I updated to iOS7 my battery meter stays at 100% every bit as long as it did on iOS6 but then once it starts falling it really speeds up. The first 10% go fairly slowly, the second 10% falls even quicker and it continues in this vein. The last 10% is over in a flash. I have calibrated my battery six or seven times in succession and my battery meter always drops to 1%, it never switches off earlier than it should but I just don't understand this non-linear battery meter reading. It never used to act like this in iOS6.

    I had this problem over the weekend. It's very annoying.
    Anyway, I read your posts and some others and the only thing that's changed on my phone since I was last abroad and didn't have this problem is that I enabled MobileMe to track the location of my phone.
    Makes sense.
    The app is constantly trying to update apple with the whereabouts of the phone. With data roaming turned off, it can't do it, so tries and tries again and the phone never gets into standby. Make a wifi connection and it's fine for a few hours as it can update the location, but next time it tries if you're off the wifi it'll frantically try again.
    This also explains why it doesn't have the problem if data roaming is left on, as it can carry on reporting location as usual (at your expense).
    Also, because you configure it in the mail account settings, that explains why you get the message about data roaming being turned off every time you look at your messages.
    Try removing the MobileMe account from your phone - you'll see the battery drain goes back to normal.
    Apple should fix this bug - they just need to change the app so it checks whether data roaming is turned on or not before updating location. Maybe a message saying MobileMe needs data roaming turned on to work abroad, or maybe it could just check if it's enabled and if not, don't try to make the connection until the phone is no longer roaming. The problem is if your phone is stolen and goes abroad, without MobileMe doing what it's supposed to be doing your data is compromised and you won't have the cool remote erasing functionality etc.
    Oh well!

  • Iphone battery indicator says 100% but the icon is black not green

    i have a iphone 5c. the battery indicator icon on top says 100% but the icon is a batter but its all black not green. is that right? should it be all green?

    You need to make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar to have it evaluated by the techs there. We are just users like you and cannot possibly diagnose what's wrong with your phone without looking at it.

  • IPhone 4s battery stuck at 100 percent. How do I get it back to normal?

    iPhone 4s battery stuck at 100 percent. How do I get it back to normal?
    Ever since the update, I am having issues with the battery. Phone shuts down while it still shows 100 percent battery life. Normally not a big deal because I don't use it all the time but lately an issue when I'm working in Manhattan and it shuts down while in the middle of conversation or emailing.
    I can't go around charging it every hour wondering what my battery life really is.
    Please help!

    My phone now is not working at all. It only works for a few minutes while it is plugged into the wall and then it shuts down and pops right back up showing it has 75% battery. It has been doing this since yesteday afternoon.
    I tried the reset and it is still acting up. Dreading having to take this to the Apple store since it is past the initial 90 days and I will probably get charged for it. :( Dont want to shell out money for a new one since I just got this one in October.
    Thanks for your help.

    Do you have wifi syncing turned on? Is your itunes always open?
    There is a glitch with the iPad where, as long and anytime iTunes is open, it'll sync...like once an hour or some such rate.
    Originally the wifi syncing was only supposed to take place if the device is plugged into power, but that's not the case. If I have my iTunes open my iPad will try to sync almost continuously.
    So check your wifi sync and iTunes settings (my iTunes used to be set to open automatically when the device is connected, I had to change it to only open when I do it manually because in the course of an evening's surfing my iPad opened my iTunes and started to sync three different times until I turned it off)
    If you have iCloud syncing enabled that may also be contributing to your battery issues. I don't sync over iCloud, I tried it but after it ate all my contacts, I stopped using it. However, if the same glitch is present, the device trying to continually sync even when not plugged into power, that could also be part of your drain.

  • My iPhone overheats. Battery drops from 100/90% to 10% sudenly. Got the device 20 days ago. I'm currently living in The Hague, there is no Apple Store in this city, took an appointment in Amsterdam, after 3 hours drive and 60€ travel cost got into the App

    My iPhone overheats. Battery drops from 100/90% to 10% sudenly. Got the device 20 days ago. I'm currently living in The Hague, there is no Apple Store in this city, took an appointment in Amsterdam, after 3 hours drive and 60€ travel cost got into the Apple Store, 73 minutes delay on my appointment the Genius  tech tells me I should leave my device for further checks in the store and come back in a week or two. Not presicely the answer I was looking for, plus he did not have any device to lend me until my iPhone was checked. Quite dissapointed, Apple was standard for quality on customer satisfaction, in the last 10 years I bought 3 MacBooks, 5 iPdas, 7 iPods, 5 iPhones and 2 iMACs... please don't let me down.

    Dear Ocean, one is a complaint about the quality of the device.
    The second about the quality on response from Customer Service.
    No worries, I'll delete both post since it seems that won't bring anything productive.
    Good bye Apple!

  • IPhone battery dying after few hours from 100% charge

    Since I upgraded to the iOS 5.1 my battery life on the iPhone 4S has been ridiculous.
    For example, I left my house at 740am with my phone on 100%, I have browsed a little (safari and facebook) for no more than 20-30 mins in total.  No apps are not running in the background as I ensure to close apps once i have finished with them. And now at 1400 I am left with 28% battery. i am not due to be at home until 1900.
    Have I been unlucky with getting a dodgy iPhone from Orange?? the model is MD242B if that helps.
    Also, notifications and banners are all turned off except for phone, messages, whatsapp, remainders, calendar.
    I am careful not to over charge my phone, I do use an app called BatteryDoc to monitor my charging.
    I always let my battery go flat before charging to 100% (with no trickle change), i believe this is a normal charge and what BatteryDoc advises i perform a full charge..
    I am slowly regretting this phone after 6 months now.......
    any input is welcome.
    Thanks,
    Cookie

    This was driving me insane too. I love my iphone but this is the one flaw. I tried all the "maximizing battery life" suggestions, and it helped slightly.
    I have one suggestions: buy an iphone battery case. I bought one off ebay for $29.99 and it is amazing. Nearly doubles the battery and is way nicer than the one at Apple (not to mention 1/4 of the price). The item number is 200795419418 on eBay in case you are interested.
    Hope That Helped!!

  • Iphone battery draining fast after reboot

    hi, my iphone battery drains completely from 100% to 0% in a few hours if I switch the phone off and turn back on. i recently found this out once after I switched off the phone.....But there is no problem (battery can last 1~2 days for normal use)if i do NOT switch off after recharge.
    Is this a software issue or hardware?? Has anyone got the same problem? Thank you so much.

    A couple more diagnostic tidbits.....my iPhone exhibited odd behavior after downloading the Star Gazer app from the App Store on Sunday. I activated the "arrange icon" feature to move the app icon for Star Gazer to a new position on my iPhone and after I moved it the icon for the app next to it (Weather Channel App) was absent but the label was present. When I slid my app screen back to the home screen and came back, the Weather Channel App icon was visible and the Star Gazer app was now absent but the label was present. I've also had some odd flashes of the home screen after unlocking my phone (I have it secured with a PIN to protect my data). Is this and IOS 4.1 issue?
    It is not an iOS 4 issue; it is a very rare problem, and has occurred with all versions. But if you search you will see reports are in the dozens, with 100 million phones in use that's a vanishingly small number. It usually means that memory in the phone is corrupted. If rebooting the phone doesn't fix it you should restore the phone using iTunes.
