IPod battery icon 'constantly charging'

Hi All,
When I charge my iPod (via wall socket or USB>computer) the battery icon displays that it is charging. However, no matter how long I leave it plugged in it will still show that it's charging. When I unplug from charging the battery icon shows 100% and lasts me for hours (as it should). I tried restoring to factory settings and all the tricks I've read about but nothing changed.
The good thing is that my battery actually does charge to 100%. The issue is that during the 'charging' phase I cannot detect when it is fully charged; it never shows 100% it always shows the charging animation. I have to guess if it's finishing charging depending on how long it's been plugged in.
Hope I explained my issue correctly, anybody know of a way to fix this?

Can anybody help with this? I do not think it's a battery problem as it is actually being charged. If anything it's a software problem?...

    ipod battery is not charged from the beginning, what i must do now

    What do you mean by your iPod is not charged from the beginning?  What have you done so far in terms of troubleshooting the issue?  Tried a different cable or USB port or wall adapter?  How old is the iPod?

  • Battery Icon Constantly is charged?

    I've looked this up and can't find an answer! All I see are questions regarding the Battery icon never being fully charged. Anyways for the past 3 or 4 days my iPhone's battery icon is telling me that it's constantly at full charge. The last time I charged it it was fully charged for awhile and the next thing I know, I look at the icon and I'm almost completely in the red! I don't know what's going on but I don't like that I can't tell how my battery is doing! Please help!

    CandyJanney,
    Try letting the iPhone battery drain fully (until it turns itself off and will not power back on) to re-calibrate the battery. Then let it charge fully (at least 4 hours) and see if the battery indicator shows the correct usage throughout the day.
    Hope this helps,

  • Gen5, 80Gb iPod battery will not charge.  States: please wait. Battery very low. ANY help?

    5gen video iPod will not charge.  Only states in LCD window: please wait.  Very Low Battery.  Can anyone help?

    That's usually a good indication that your iPod battery's is shot and in need of a replacement.  If you'd like, Apple can swap out the battery for a flat fee.

    Otherwise, you can also send it to a third party repair service center that could do the same job for a little less. Google "ipod battery replacement" for different options.

  • Battery icon always charging

    Since the update I find that whenever I've got my MacBook connected to power the battery icon always contains the lightning bolt indicating charging, even when the battery itself reads 100% and the details indicate that it is fully charged. It never switches to a plug icon or some other indication that we're on power but not actively charging. Is this correct behavior?

    Hi Kraonn,
    Same here, it didn't occur to me that this wan't correct behaviour, I just assumed it was an icon change for the worse!  But you might be right, perhaps it is indicating charging and perhaps it should switch to the plug?  My battery is fully charged (2009 MBP) yet I've still got the lightning bolt - which I don't like!  I guess we could do a g. search for Yosemite images and see what others have...
    I'm really loving Yosemite, it feels clean and fresh, the only 2 things I don't like are:
    1.  The lightning bolt battery indicator!
    2.  The red iTunes icon.

  • Iphone battery icons appear charged even it is not charged completly.

    Hello,
    Recently I updated the OS of iphone to 3.1.2 after that there was no issues. After some days I am facing a strange issue. The battery icon appears fully charged with the switch icon on the battery. When I disconnect the USB still 25-30% of charging will be remained. I need to plug the USB several times then it shows charging again. Sometimes I restarted the iphone itself.
    Please assist what is causing this problem and how to get rid of this.
    Regards,
    Sachin

    Sachin I am having same problem with my 3G. Basically my USB cable is bit broken and sometimes i have to twist the cable to make it charge my phone.
    So apparently it looks like when the cable get a bit loose my phone start showing Fully charged icon.
    If you are using a non genuine cable or a faulty one then try using anyother USB cable.
    Cheers.

  • Battery Icon During Charging Does Not Show The Lightning Bolt?

    How can i fix my iphone 4? the little battery icon in the top right does not show the 'lightning bolt' while charging. Instead, it displays a power plug. If i unplug and reinsert the charging cable the icon briefly changed back into the lightning bolt but then switches back to the plug. Why is this?

    Does the iPhone show that it is charging, that is, does the percent charge increase?  If not it could indicate a faulty charger or connecting cable.  Can you try a different charger and cable to see what that does?
    Have you tried a power off/on and a reset to see if those help?

  • My ipod battery doesnt stay charge too long

  • Ipod battery not staying charged

    I have an Ipod mini and recently I have been having problems with the battery staying charged. I will leave it plugged in for at least 24 hours and then when I go to use it, it will only play for about 15 minutes and then the low battery warning comes on and then the ipod cuts off. I have been charging it with the wall adapter and not through the computer. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I am having this same problem with my ipod mini.
    I have owned it for a few months, but have not used it on a daily basis... maybe twice a week.
    It can be fully charged, but once I have carried it around for a couple of days, (on hold) then try to use it, it will not start up.
    Have done the 5 r's. Resetting does nothing, I have to plug it back into my pc to get it to start up or to be able to reset it.
    The last couple of times it looks as though the battery charge was down even though it had not been used.
    Does this have to be sent in for repair?
    I paid a lot of money for this thing, and don't want to be spending hours wasting my time troubleshooting this thing.
    That's Apple's job.

  • My iPad 2 doesn't show the green battery icon when charging.

    when i charge the ipad2 i see that it is charging on the top right symbol
    i do not see the big green battery like on the iphone.
    Why is there no big green battery on the opening screen when i wakeup the ipad2?

    That feature doesn't show on the iPad2. I only have the symbol in the upper corner as well. You can buy a batter app that when used will show the battery upon wake up.

    Are you by any chance using iTunes 7.0.2 and firmware version 1.2?
    If you are then I would surmise that you are the victim of a bug in the firmware (if you look at the forum there are thousands of people with the same issue)
    Unfortunately for us users Apple appear to be burying their head in the sand on this one because there has been no official recognition of the problem, meanwhile people are continuing to download the firmware, oblivious to the fact that this will render their precious and much loved iPods completely useless.
    This is clearly a completely cynical policy by Apple because they know that publicly admitting the problem would seriously harm their sales in the busy Christmas period.......POOR SHOW APPLE!!! THIS WILL HARM YOU MUCH MORE IN THE LONG TERM.
    Fear not though, they will not be able to hide it for long because I know that the BBC are investigating this.

  • Battery Icon Shows "18% available (plugged in, charging)" But Battery Does Not Charge

    The PC does operate on the battery only, just fine (so far, as there is only 18% remaining).
    The PC operates with AC plugged in also.
    LED by AC input is amber (looks orange to me).
    According to the User Guide that indicates charging.
    Battery Check status is "OK"
    I have had it on charge for over 12 hours and still at 18%.
    When starting up, the battery icon shows charging movement then stops at a low level.
    I measured the charger output at 20VDC (no load). Which is as specified.
    I have tried all the suggestions about uninstalling and reinstalling  the ACPI Complient Control Method.......etc.
    Removing battery, shutting down and all the rest of suggestions.
    No help.
    I was told there was a BIOS update which I installed. (I'll post about that in another board). No help.
    If I ever get this fixed it's going back to the vendor, Should not have this happen with less than 3 months since new.
    Just got it back from repair for battery latch falling off. (Back plate was changed.)
    Anything new would be appreciated.

    Hi @xdellman,
    Thank you for your query and realize how frustrating this is.
    I gathered from your post you have tried most of the troubleshooting steps to no avail.
    If you check the adapter do you notice any damaged or bent pins as this can cause charging issues?

  • IPod Touch 4g stops charging randomly

    I bought an iPod Touch 4g like 22 days ago and I was using my old nano cables and a wall charger to charge my iPod and one day, the iPod stopped charging apparently without a reason (it wasn't completely charged after 4 hours) so I decided to use its own cables and since then everything was fine but today I plugged my iPod to a wall charger (like always) and it was charging but after 4 hours the iPod wasn't charged at all. It appears that at some point the iPod stopped charging, the porcentage of charge was like 60% and it didn't seemed to be plugged and charging; the battery icon was a normal battery icon (half charged battery).
    Anyone can tell me why is this happening to me? Is this normal or there's something wrong with my iPod? The iPod wasn't off while charging! The iOs that I have is 4.3.5 (8L1).

    - As you found out, not all cable are equal. I just tried a cable that came with my 3G Nao and it does not work with my iPod Touch.
    - Does it seem to work if yu wiggle the cable and/or connector? Cables can be damaged.
    - Does it charge OK with the Touch cable and your computer?
    - Doese the dock-connector plug and iPod socket look damaged?
