N95 Battery Indicator Issue

Hello,
It seems that my battery indicator for my new N95 has stoped indicating anything! Keeps showing a fully loaded battery until it completely drains from usage...
Has anyone else had this problem? I already upgraded the firmware and the problem remains...
Any advice or comment?
Thank you in advance,
Ricardo

No problem my friend.
If you have already flashed your phone to the V11 software that was released a few weeks ago, then just follow this procedure again and put the same software on the phone again. However, after you flash it, perform a factory reset.
Go: Tools --> Settings --> General --> Factory settings.
This should clean out and reset the phone back to the way it was first delivered.
You will have to re-install your maps again and put all of your software on again, but I did this and things seem to be working for me.
Good luck.

3GS Battery indicator issue

Hello,
I have been encountering a wierd issue with the battery indicator on my 3GS. I charged my phone from a completely depleted battery last week, but after I had left it to charge over night the battery percentage displayed 98% but the battery bar itself showed a completed charge (wall plug over the bar). I usually do a complete drain every other week. I figured oh it must just be a glitch so I pulled the charger out and started my day.
Last night however, I charged my phone from about 30% to what should have been full charge (about 7 hours). But this morning the phone read 100% charge on the percentage indicator and battery bar; as soon as I removed it from the charger it immediatly dropped to 98%.
My settings that drain the battery are below
Wifi-off
Bluetooth-off
3g-On
Auto-Brightness
Have any of you had similar experiences?
Thanks in advance

i did see odd battery indicator issues before i did a restore and setup as new phone... but... i have also read that it might indicate a battery issue on your device as well...
if you have not and don't mind loosing sms logs, call logs, and app data you can try a restore and setup as new phone (remember to backup your contacts, calendar and move out any photos/videos you have stored)
if it still jumps around with a restore as new phone then it is most likely a hardware issue (battery issue connection issue etc)
you can just make an apointment with the apple store... they do have a diagnostic tool to see actual battery performance (it might let them see if its a software glitch or hardware) worst case they can restore it and setup as new phone for ya (remember to make sure your contacts, calendar and pics are synced before your trip to the store if you do go)

N95 Battery Indicator on 31.0.017

Hi,
I got a new N95 and installed software 31.0.017 via NSU.
I noticed that the battery indicator stays at 100% a long time and suddenly there are low battery warnings. I searched several forums and found out that this bug exists for a long time.
Is Nokia not willing to fix this? A working battery indicator is very important for me.
Regards,
Benny

ok to me it sounds like u r phone needs to either be reflashed or taken to u r local service center for service
as ive had the 31.0.017 for a long time now and have no issues with it whatsoever
so my bet would be to try and update it again
and see if that solves it
it could also be your wireless connection is causeing some fault or the wireless password is wrong

Low Battery indicator issue

When my battery became low on my blackberry 8330, the amber LED began to blink, indicating the battery needs to be charged. I turned off the device but didn't charge it. When I turned the device on several hours later, the amber LED blinked only for a few moments then stopped, but the battery indicator on the screen still stated that the battery was low. I turned the device off then back on again, and the same thing happened, the amber LED flashed only for a moment then stopped. I then got a message on the e-mail the device is linked to, causing the red LED to flash, but when the red LED started flashing, the amber one started flashing too. I've seen several messages about the inconsistancy of the LED indicators, but haven't heard anything about the battery indicator. Anyone know what the issue is or how to resolve it?

Try a reset by pulling the battery leave it out for 30 sec and then re-install it. If this does not correct your problem, I would go to the store where you bought it and ask to try another battery to see if this corrects the problem. If not, swap the device out for a new one. you get a one year mfg warranty aganist defects of this type.

Another battery indicator issue-- not 1.1.1 related

Sorry if this is a repeat. I searched for this and didn't find it, though it seems like something that should have been reported before. Am both asking if others have the issue/how it was solved and offering my experience as possible help.
3 week old phone. Firmware 1.0.2 (never updated to 1.1.1, not a downgrade). Never hacked.
Phone has been working fine, was getting 100% charge, plug icon achieved w/ full green glowing icon when charged. Usage after my last full charge: probably 2-3 hours phone, frequent mail, some wi-fi, standby for 2.5 days.
Bluetooth on all the time, wi-fi only on during use, screen brightness turned down to ~30%, manual mail checking only, usually in excellent reception areas so phone not constantly searching for signal.
Put phone to sleep last night w/ battery indicator @ ~50%. When tried waking phone this morning it, for the first time, showed message saying phone needed to be plugged in and showed the large battery icon with a very thin red line representing charge remaining and turned itself off. So I plugged the phone into the wall adapter and the charging icon came on with a sliver of red (slightly wider than when not plugged in).
Did some reading online and unplugged the phone maybe 10 minutes after plugging it in-- with charge icon still showing thin red area, unchanged from initially. After unplugging the small menu icon had a red sliver of charge showing but the phone did not automatically turn off, though that was for only maybe 10 seconds or so.
Then I did a reset w/ menu-sleep buttons. After the phone rebooted there is maybe 40% of battery life on menu indicator. I replugged the phone into the wall charger for a better look and the large icon shows about the same-- 40%. I unplugged phone immediately and have been monitoring it for about an hour. Still at roughly 40% and phone function working normally as does everything else, including video-- though that drains battery indicator pretty quickly.
I know that there is rapid charge when first plugged in but I don't think that 10 minutes would take it from the 10% shutoff point to this degree of charge. My guess is that it's an intermittent problem with the phone's internal battery sensing abilities which gets reset with a phone reset.
The good news is that the phone is functional when it thinks it's not. The bad news is that a) a reset is a mild pain in the neck. (Could be that just fully turning the phone off and restarting it would have worked but I didn't try that. Other than losing usage data I don't know what else one loses with a reset.)
and b) it is unnerving to not be able to trust the battery indicator, especially when one isn't near a convenient charging option.
So, anyone else had this same issue? Thoughts, fixes?
Thanks
Steve

N95 battery indicator problem. I'm becoming desper...

Hello. Two months ago I bought a new n95. I was so happy with my phone until three days ago I realized that the battery indicator was the whole time at full. And it kept indicating full battery until the phone shut down. So I decided to perform a firmware reinstall and hard reset. Immediately after the firmware reinstall the phone was indicating normally (only three bars). But yesterday in the night, after charging it, again the problem came up, and now my phone is again indicating full battery eventough I have used GPS, music, calls and everything to low battery down. I can't be reinstalling every time, something's wrong with my phone.
Can somebody help me? I don't know what to do, I'm really becoming desperate.
This phone never fell, or hit; in fact, it was treated like a diamond.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help and sorry for my english.
Mauricio.

Hmmm .. I would suspect hardware: either the phone's not reading the battery power properly or there's a problem with the battery. Despite it starting to work after the reset, I can't see it being software somehow.
I would take the phone to a service center and see if you can have them test your phone with other batteries and your battery with other phones - make sure your battery's not fully charged when you take it in.

IPad 3rd gen battery indicator issue

Hi.
My iPad 3rd gen started behaving odd not long after updating to iOS 6.1.3. While discharging, as soon as it hits around 30% mark the battery indicator makes an instant drop to around 20% mark. Every single time.
The time usage is still very good, almost 14 hours from 100% to 0. (I don't use games or push notifications)
I've already done a restore and set as new iPad and the issue dissapeared for only 1 charging cycle, then reappered again.
I've also done 3-4 'calibrations' for the battery, meaning completely running it down and then charging it to 100%. Nothing changed.
I've restarted it several times by holding both home and power buttons and still no good.
I also mention my iPad is in perfect shape, a mechanical issue is out of the question. Regarding the charging cycles, despite using it daily, I suppose I haven't passed 100 cycles, so it's not even near its life span.
Any answers that can help me understand this anomaly are welcomed.

I tested using two Battery Utilities (now battery says 98%) Boost Magic says 100% and Battery Magic says 96% so here is the summary none agree.
iPad indicator 98%
Battery Magic 99%
Boost Magic 99%
Not sure which is correct or why it read 95% when I looked at it this morning then reverted to 100% after turning off and then on again.

Battery indicator issue.

Just got a new nano. Put it on the dock, syncd everything, downloaded new software, etc. Now the battery indicator on the ipod shows about half charge but when I put it back in the dock, itunes shows full charge and ipod isn't charging. What gives?

Try this :-
1. Make sure the hold switch is not operated (i.e. you can press and operate the iPod buttons).
2. Press and hold the Centre and Menu buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen, then release the buttons. This will reset the iPod, it will not lose any of your content.

1020 Battery Indicator Dipped & Recovered After Re...

I've a month old Lumia 1020, among the first few in my country to own the phone during a prelaunch sales.
I've had this battery indicator issue since I've been using the phone, but it only occurs intermittently.
I charge the phone using Qi charger, usually JBL speaker if not the stand.
Right after full charge & removed from the charger, the battery drops very fast until 68% in less than 30min then it stays at that level for as long as I let it idle.
Once I restart the phone, the battery indicator will jump right back to 100%, this puzzles me as I thought something is draining the battery real fast (I was suspecting Skydrive backup but it happens even i didn't enable data/WiFi).
The restart recovery of the battery indicator cleared my doubt on apps draining the battery, no apps were draining it but the indicator was incorrectly shown.
I'm not sure if this is just a bug in Windows Phone, my Lumia 920 doesn't have this issue.
Anyone else has this problem?

doesn't work after monitoring it for 2 weeks with a few soft resets in between.
still happening intermittently, apparently i'm not the only one having this issue as there're a few threads were created but unattended with any response.
seems like a bug in the firmware to me & maybe phone dependant.

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.

Battery indicator on N95 v21.0.016

Hello all:
Ever since I updated to the new v21.0.016 firmware, the battery indicator on my N95 acts kind of strange.
For two days it shows a full charge (seven bars) and suddenly, in less than a couple of hour, goes down from seven bars to one bar (no WIFI, no bluetooth, no calls).
Has anyone experienced the same?. It looks like an annoying bug in the new firmware...
........N70, E61, E90, N95, E71, E72, N8

I'd like to update my status. After the upgrade to version 21, the phone couldn'd be connected to the pc too. I got it to a NCC and they said that the phone's board had a problem and had to be sent abroad to nokia to replace it... I'd like to add the following too. At NCC I was told that the update that nokia provides through Nokia Update Manager is not the actual update. If we want to update the phone we will have to take it at a NCC because the update they have is three times bigger in size and it's the full one. (v21 is 166MB through NUM, and the update the NCC has is about 300). When I asked why is this happening they said: "If the full update was provided over the net, then there wouldn't be any reason for the NCC to exit". That's a shame. This conversation took place in Greece. I don't know what other NCC say, or if this is the policy of Nokia in order to get money (they said that the update would cost me 15,5 Euros).
PS The phone was bought 3 months ago, but if they "thought" that i had updated the phone through other software (?) I would have to pay for the actual update anyway....

3G issues and battery indicator on ios 6.1

Since upgraded to iOS 6.1, I can't seems to use 3G in my iphone4s and iPhone5..No matter how many times I tried to turn off and on the 3G from the setting app, it failed to get 3G. I had to restart my iPhone repeatedly to use 3G.
Also the battery indicator drop drastically after a full recharge. I plug of my iPhone4s and iphone5 from charger and just within few minutes, battery drop to 97%.
I had to switch off my iPhone and turn it back on then only the battery indicator go back to 100%.

Hi shldr2thewheel, thanks. But these issues were what Apple said would be solved...these upgrades always disturbe other itens.
It´s like my last upgrade (to 6.1.2), there wasn´t any note adressed to 3G or Wi-fi connection, but it destroyed them.
I would like to know if someone had the same problem with Internet connection and battery life and afterward upgrade it to iOS 6.1.3 has got rid of them.
I will not upgrade to iOS 6.1.3 with no sure about the improvement. There are many people complaining regarding these same issues after 6.1.3.
Thank you any way.

Iphone 3G strange battery indicator readings (not typical issue)

I know a lot of people are complaining about long charge times and not reaching full charge but my problem is quite unique and after many hours searching I have not found a similar issue.
I have noticed that my iPhone charges very quickly usually in less than an hour. I verify this by looking for the plug icon at the top of the screen and at the horizontal battery indicator seen when waking the phone from sleep.
The strange part besides my fast charge times is that sometimes when I charge my phone from about 20-30% battery life it will show the lightning icon at the top..then a few minutes later I will see the plug even though the phone is obviously not close to being fully charged...the plug will go away after a few minutes and revert to the lightning until it finally finishes. Is this situation a reason to get a replacement unit? I already installed the latest update. I am not noticing any signs of poor battery life or stuck indicator besides this one issue. Am I the only person that has the plug icon show when the iPhone is in the middle of being charged???
also I have reset the phone multiple times yet in the usage menu, it shows that the phone has never been reset. These are all minor quibbles may be but I want to know if it is justified to seek a replacement phone...thanks

Hey, i did experience the same problem. my battery would charge half way, displaying the lightning icon, and then the it would stop charging, displaying the plug icon. my battery wouldn't charge to the max. I was pretty ****** off about it so i went to my nearest apple store and told them about the problem; now i have an appointment to see a technician. After going to the apple store i used my iphone until the battery was completely dead and then i plugged it to my computer. After a few hours it charged completely (plug icon appearing when fully charged)???? i don't know what happened. Now i'm just testing my iphone's battery life to see the the problem arises again. so far it seems to have improved after i completely drained the battery. (tip)
I'm gonna keep on testing the battery and see if the problem arises again.

Is the battery indicator misleading??

Hi all,
I just got the new iPod 30GB and I notice that right after it's been fully charged, when I just listen to music, within 10-15minutes the battery indicator goes from full to 3/4. It seems like the battery indicator shows the battery is getting less and less power. Do I have a defective iPod, or is this just the nature of the beast. I haven't let go all the way to the end, so I can't say whether it is actually losing it's charge, but the indicator appears that the battery is running out faster than what I'm used to with my old iPod. 10-15 minutes and the indicator going from full to 3/4 quarters seems a but fast right??
Is anyone else running into this problem? I am not playing much video on it, so it's generally playing music, but I hear the video playback uses alot more power and that battery runs out faster in that case. This would probably not apply in my case, as I took this under consideration when monitoring the issue.
Just would like to know whether this is just a display or software bug and I don't have to worry about the actual battery life running out...OR if I really do have a battery issue, I should run this back right away....
Your advisement is greatly appreciated.

So I decided to fully charge the iPod, then run the stop watch and continously play music while timing the battery life. It's been six hours so far, and the battery indicator shows a spec of red, but totally empty. It's still going though. I'll let you know of the progress. It sounds to me though that this is a combination of a battery indicator light innacuracy, and having to charge and run the battery completely down a few times to get the battery working at good capacity. I haven't ran the battery all the way down yet, so this test would be the first time. I'll try and run this test with the stop watch on, a couple of times too and see if the battery life improves. I'm at 6 hours so far, and have not played any video, so according to Apple, I'm supposed to get up to 14 hours of continuous music, so we'll see how far it goes.
At least I'm not the only one, so I'm thinking this is just the nature of the beast as opposed to a defective product. But try out the test I'm doing, and see what comes up. What does your battery life truly go to......
