Lenovo s850 inaccurate battery indicator

Good phone but the battery indicator is inaccurate. It's not very upsetting because the battery last for a few days but the indicator drops and raises chaotically. Most of the time it has a high value. In the last 1/2 hour of life the battery drops suddenly from 40% to 0% without even using the phone, and you are left with an unusable device. I received a couple of updates but the problem didn't disappeared. I bought the phone from Romanian operator Digi and has this versions: S850.ROW.V108, S850_ROW_S211_140923

Lenovo invented a self-contained battery (I can attach screen shots). I do not know why this great discovery have not done public.
Now seriously. I think this is more of a software problem. The statistics of the energy consumed is staggering. Screen 2 hours worked has used 2% and lenovo smart rotation process is used 58% . The company respecting their clients should already remove it.

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.

Battery Indicator Wildly Inaccurate

Why is the battery indicator for the iPhone wildly inaccurate? I have an iPhone 5. In iOS 7, iOS 8, and iOS 8.1, the battery indicator regularly gives odd information. For example, my phone was just showing 19% charge. I plugged it in, and the value jumped to 57%. I can't comprehend how the battery state changes that drastically instantaneously.
On a related note, are there any third part apps that give a better idea of the true battery state?

Strange battery indicator problem....

I'm having a very weird problem with my iPod, any help would be greatly appreciated!
I recieved an iPod Video 80gig as a replacement under the Best Buy replacement plan. At first I was very happy, as I had turned in a 40gig photo...so it was a nice upgrade.
But I soon realized something was wrong. The iPod simply wouldn't charge beyond a certain point, about 3/4 up the indicator. I would have it charge for days, on both a USB and AC adaptor charger, and it would never complete charging. From there, the battery began to hold no charge.
Figuring it was just a bad battery, I paid to have it replaced. I was sure this would fix the problem, but it seems it hasn't. Once again, it won't charge beyond about 3/4 of the bar, no matter how long it charges. It will play fine, but the battery seems to drain at a progressed rate...not as bad as before I had the battery replaced, but still quicker than it should.
Strange this is, the place I sent it to, to replace the battery, did a test to make sure nothing else major was wrong with it. But nothing turned up.
What the heck is going on with my iPod? Is it actually fully charging and just not showing it? But still, something seems wrong. Maybe I just got a bad iPod back. I plan on returning it to BestBuy for yet another, but I would love to hear anybodies theory on this or if anybody else has had the same problem.
Thanks in advance!

dk07, glad to know I'm not the only one having this problem. I hope you can get it figured out as well. It is very frustrating.
Jeff, I appreciate the links, but I've been over those first two quite a few times, with no success. The last one is a bit more interesting though.
I guess what I mean to ask is; Is it possible that my iPod is actually charging all the way, even if I never get a "plug" icon and the bar never goes above 3/4 on the battery indicator, no matter how long I charge it? Can the battery indicator be 'that' off? I have yet to run into a help topic or tutorial that addresses specifically an iPod (with a brand new battery) never switching to the plug icon or never going beyond a 3/4 bar. I am willing to accept that the battery indicator may be inaccurate as to the actual charge, but the specific issues seem not to be as common as the general one; and that is what bugs me.

Lenovo S850 problem - fw upgraded with Chineese programs

Dear All,
Two weeks ago I bought a Lenovo S850 device. All works well, when I tried the officially available Lenovo Smart Assistant v1.03 to upgrade my phone (http://support.lenovo.com/hu/hu/downloads/ds101291)
This program detected a new firmware: VIBE_UI_v2.0_1447_7.5.1_ST_S850
After the firmware update I realized that only English / Chineese language are supported, moreover several programs are available only in chineese language, and some programs are missed (e.g. google.play).
I have also Lenovo laptop and tablet, but this issue with this phone is really incredible.
My question:
1.) how can I degrade to or update for a multilingual firmware (ROW)?
2.) How can I replace/remove builtin battery? It seems to be hard or impossible to remove back cover of this styled phone?
Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated.
Best regards.
Zsolt

Hi
''This program detected a new firmware: VIBE_UI_v2.0_1447_7.5.1_ST_S850''....That's because you have the Chinese version of the phone and you were running a custom/modified Chinese firmware(Suppose you already know that if you're asking for a ROW firmware)that got updated to a full Chinese version(a lot of Chinese..I know).Did you got it from CN?
Now you have 2 options:To install GAPPS/GMS (Google services like the PLay Store), root the device using the latest Vroot version to get rid of the unwanted Chinese apps and use THIS or THIS for ''more loacale'' languages...
...Or you can flash the ROW firmware version(Importantome users have reported that the S211 ROW firmware also works on the S850 Chinese version....But can't guarantee 100%!)
To manually flash the ROW_S211_140923 4.4.2(download and unpack) follow message 7 of http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/K-S-and-Vibe-Series/Lenove-S650-sound-issue/m-p/1413747#M2950 (refers to a different model but the procedure is identical.You can use the drivers/PC flash tool included in the link.The S850 battery is non-removable>Before flashing>Disable/unmark ''Quick bootup'' or ''Fast bootup'' when you ''Power off'' the phone !).
The procedure is also explained HERE (Please flash the S211 firmware provided by me ! )
Don't need to say that you're doing this on your own risk...
Let me know how it goes

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.

Battery indicator woes?

So, I have set in my Energy prefs the display of the battery life in the Menu Bar.
I inserted a fully charged NEW battery in the iBook , and the indicator first read 6:10 (time left) then 4:51, then settled on 5:02 time left. What gives?

I would suggest calibrating the battery in your iBook, since it is the iBook's interaction with the battery which enables the accuracy of the battery indicator.
If the battery indicator remains inaccurate after calibration in your iBook, then I would wonder if you have received a faulty battery.

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.

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.
