Ah...so it's not just me then.
Put the unit onto charge Thursday night and didn't really check what the battery looked like when I unplugged it Friday morning, but was very surprised to have gotten to 4pm and the unit announced Battery Low and then shortly switched itself off.
As a result put it on charge again Friday evening, just a moment ago unplug it to find that the battery is only charged to 2 bars.
Like most, can't see if the new firmware addresses the issue as it's not been released for my carrier branded handset model.

Me too, is it a faulty phone? does anyone experience the same problem beside ichapman? Please share ur experience
Please look at my recorded video n97 charging
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ8d_gHSrt0 -> N97 charged full indicator at 2 bar
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rzVyxLFPN0 -> N97 power up when charger still plug, still show indicator 2 bar
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT0LjXvs40w -> N97 charger unplug n plug again,showing message "charging complete" but the indicator still at 2 bar
The next day I took it to Nokia care point, they reflash the firmware n the same thing happen again

  • IPhone 3GS Charging/Battery Problem: Hardware, Software, or Both?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm a long time Apple user, but this is the first time I've ever posted on the Apple Support forums. I hope you will please excuse the length of my post, as I believe that relaying the approximate sequence of events here is important in determining the cause (or causes) of the problem I am currently facing.
    I've trawled the entire internet and I cannot find any reports of a problem that is actually identical to my own. There are many, many similar problems, but none of the exact nature or complexity that I am experiencing. I sincerely hope that someone who really knows their stuff will take the time to read through my story and offer some guidance, as this is my first iPhone and I want to be able to keep it!
    I purchased the iPhone 3GS second-hand on eBay approx 3 weeks ago, to replace my old Nokia (which had finally given up the ghost), and although I initially got the 'charging is not supported with this accessory'  error - I remedied this problem by using a whole range of different chargers and USB cables which I had accumulated over the years, and so initially, I always managed to get the battery charged one way or the other.
    For the record - the iPhone was in very good condition, but had been factory-reset by the seller, and so I upgraded to the latest compatible software (IOS 6.1.3) when I received it.
    Anyhow, these charging methods included three different USB cables (OEM Apple ones), two different 3rd party (non-OEM) wall-chargers of differring design, and three different OEM Apple USB Power adaptors. You know - the Wall Socket with the USB slot in it.
    There seeemed to be no discernibe pattern as to which charging device or combination of cables and sockets was the 'correct' or 'best' one to use, as the results were random. One charger would work one day, whilst another would work the next, and vice versa. I continued to swap chargers, plugs, and cables in order to get the thing charging. Despite any errors or problems, I would always manage to get it charged somehow, at least for the first week or two.
    The only pattern I did discern was that the oldest of my USB cables, from a 2005 iPod Mini, did appear to be somewhat more reliable than the other, more modern cables - though at the same time, the newer cables did work (and charge the phone) on various occasions.
    As things progressed though; the 'charging is not supported with this accessory'  error appeared on a more regular basis, though I was often able to get around it by changing plugs and/or leaving the device overnight. As many of you will undoubtedly know; this error message was said to be a 'software bug' - one which would typically appear once the battery's charge level was under 20%, and not before. Common advice on Mac forums was to never allow your battery level to drop below 20%, which would prevent the problem from occuring. 
    However in my case, this error message was now showing up more regularly, often when the phone had more than 20% charge left, leaving me unable to charge the phone quickly and successfully when needed. 
    And as many of you will also know, the 'official word' across all the different Mac forums is that even when this charging error message is showing, and the phone's battery indicator appears empty or declining, the battery will continue to charge, albeit at a much, much slower rate. This appeared to be true, as I was able to leave it overnight, with the error message displaying, and return to find that the battery had charged - though only to a marginal degree and never to full capacity. At this point, I was still able to use the phone, although on a somewhat limited basis, as the battery was always running out of juice too quickly.
    However the situation worsened, whereby the phone started to reject all of the chargers and cables; either failing to recognize them at all, or giving me the aforementioned error message. Its battery would die,  and I would have to leave it plugged in overnight (approx 8-10 hours) to get any response out of it at all. If I left it long enough, it seemed that I would at least get some charge out of it, though the maximum charge level was rapidly decreasing despite the amount of time it had been charging for, making the phone become less and less usable by the day.
    Still, things continued to worsen - the 'charging is not supported with this accessory'  error now appeared regardless of how much charge the battery had left in it, or what type of cables or plugs I was using - leaving me with no choice but to let the battery run down, and watch as the phone switched itself off..
    Things have now reached the point where the phone is essentially unusable.
    Strangely enough though; when completely dead or switched off, it will recognize the Apple USB to Wall Socket Charger, and will indicate that it IS charging - with the thin red line representing low battery levels, and a 'lightning bolt' logo underneath to signify the transfer of electrcity to the battery. Suffice to say, under these circumstances, the phone will charge, albeit very, very slowly, and only to a certain level (5-10%)
    However - as soon as the phone is switched on again (either manually, or automatically - once it has reached a certain charge level) - the 'charging is not supported with this accessory' error appears immediately, and the phone immediately starts to lose power again, switching itself off again within a matter of minutes.
    And so the cycle starts again - the phone is dead, it will accept the charger and indicate that it is charging (very slowly) until it comes back on again, at which point it rejects the charger (via the error message), runs out of power, and dies again. For every 4-5 minutes of use I get out of this phone before it dies again - I am having to charge it for hours and hours at a time; during which time the battery indicator never increases or gets beyond the red and into the green.
    To confirm: when switched off - it appears to recognise the charger and will charge very, very slowly, but once switched on again - it rejects the charger and dies almost immediately due to lack of accumulated charge, regardless of charging time. The reason I explained the entire sequence of events here is that this did not just happen overnight, but rather progressively, with lots of random occurances and apparent technical contradictions along the way.
    Another factor to consider is that I recently tried to charge it using the Apple USB Power Adaptors of two friends (both whilst the device was completely dead), to test whether my chargers and cables were somehow all at fault. The charger/adaptor for a new iPhone 4S did not work - but the charger for an older iPod Touch worked flawlessly, and gave me an immediate and efficient charge which lasted longer than any other, despite the limited amount of time I was able to leave it charging.
    Having said that, due to the random behavior of this phone, I am uncertain whether this was simply a random occurance, or something technical relating to the charging equipment I was testing at the time.
    It should also be noted that throughout this entire process - the phone will always register with iTunes when plugged into my laptop and switched on. I have had absolutely no trouble with the transferring or music or apps, or the updating of software since I got the device. Even today, where I managed to get a few minutes of 'on-time' out of the phone - it immediately registered with iTunes, despite simultaneously giving me the charging is not supported with this accessory' error, before promptly running out of power and dying again.
    It will occasionally charge when connected to iTunes, but only at random and for extremely short periods of time.
    If it's of any consequence, I am using a 2nd/3rd generation Macbook Pro from 2007, with a 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB of RAM, running OS X 10.5.8 (Snow Leopard). Snow Leopard has only recently been installed, and when installing it  - I did opt for a partial 'Time Machine' restore from a backup drive, which included key files and applications - but which did not restore my complete profile from the previous 'Leopard' OS.
    Suffice to say - I am pulling my hair out here. You simply can't get by in today's world without a mobile phone, and I had only just bought this phone as a replacement for my old one. I had really come to depend on it, and would hate to think that I'd have to say goodbye to it because it required some kind of replacement part or repair that cost more than the phone itself (£65)
    The only real, discernible pattern with these problems is that they continue to get worse. I've tried booking an appointment at my local 'Genius Bar' but their booking system has been down for a while, presumably due to high demand, and I also know that their policy is to try and sell you a replacement product or accessory before recommending or exploring any alternative solutions. Their policy is that they will not see you without an appointment anyway.
    I have a feeling that although this may be hardware related on some level, with a potentially delicate or damaged charging port on the device itself - I've also read in many places that this is a software bug - which some of my experiences and observations would appear to confirm - especially as the phone can withstand lengthy and intensive procedures like the iTunes restore process (both in and out of recovery mode) without running out of power and dying. It seems to be getting fed enough power during these procedures, but not in any other situation - and will randomly charge in some circumstances, while not in others.
    Thus far, I have tried:
    - The 'Battery Doctor' App - which recognizes when the phone is charging, but doesn't alter the fact that it never seems to charge beyond about 5-10%, and has done nothing to change the fact that whilst apparently 'charging', the phone is still losing power and proceeds to die.
    - A
    - Cleaning the cables, adaptors and charging port with a toothbrush and some compressed air.
    And still - the phone will appear to be charging when switched off (though it never seems to get beyond about 10%) and will stop charging as soon as it's switched on, leaving me with about 5 minutes of usage before I have to go through the whole process again.
    Any advice whatsoever would be greatly appreciated - and again, my apologies for such a lengthy post!!
    Thanking you in advance,
    Adam

    I have had your exact problem with my old 3GS, now I cannot even get it to turn on, I still see that it is supposed to be charging though, but it never charges any so it seems.
    I replaced the Lower Dock Connector Assembly back when it still charged while hooked to my PC, and it found it made no real difference.
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Y5YXLK/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1 
    At this point I am not sure if I should replace the battery and hope for the best, or just junk the phone, I cannot really sell it if I cannot reset it...

  • N97 Charging Funny Problem + Headset Issues

    I have been experiencing a funny problem when charging my N97. I bought my phone in August last year. It had been working fine till now and still is. I really have no complaints when it is concerned to performance and usablity. Initial issues were promptly solved with the firmware updates.
    Yesterday night, I found out that I had this problem. When I hooked up my phone with my charger, it did not show any light. I tried to use the charger on another mobile(SAMSUNG) which sports the same USB port as my N97 and it worked ! I also used the samsung charger (though its only 700mA) on my N97 and the charging indicator glowed ! To my surprise, the charger adapter pin that ships with the N97 allowing us to charge the phone with older chargers also allowed me to charge my phone. In short, everything charged my phone(including USB) except the provided charger. Any help regarding this matter will be deeply appreciated.
    Secondly, of lately the headset has become dogdy. Earlier, even if I ran while having hooked up, the connection was good. Now, even if I move the slightest, the phone looses the connection with the headset and the headset icon disappears. Then I need to plug it out and the plug it in again for about 2-3 times to get the icon to reappear. Now if anyone can explain to me why this is happening and the solution to it, I would be really happy.
    Thanks !

    3 days but still no response. Anyways, I had my device taken to the local Nokia Care Outlet. It appears as though it was some hardware issue and I shall have my handset repaired in about a week. Since the warranty is still active, no problems what-so-ever.
    Thanks for OR whatever ! Expected better from this forum....

  • N97 NAM Battery Indicator Problem

    Hi, my Nokia N97's battery indicator does not seem to work anymore.  It always shows full until the battery runs out and then the device shuts off.  The battery indicator did work the very first time I tried it.  I fully charged it and then after leaving the phone on overnight, the device had shut itself off.  I assumed it was because the phone ran out of battery so I recharged it.  After 3 hours of charging, I decided to disconnect the device from the charger and thats when the battery indicator stopped working.  It's been showing full bars the entire day, even after heavy usage.  I tried a reset (*#7370#) but that didn't fix it.  The phone is fine, just the battery indicator doesn't seem to work.  Also, after doing the reset, I lost the Ngage games.  Does anyone know how to fix this battery problem and retreive the Ngage games that came with the phone.  Thanks!

    I have Very similar problem. Battery indicator shows full for a day, two even once for 4 days! And on th next day it starts RAPIDLY going down it is hard to finish the day without recharge. 
    It is VERY annoying as all my phones warn me at least a day before ran out of power (E71 is Very Good example) .
    I am with 12-th FW  

  • Hardware diagnostic shows me a problem about charging battery. What about it ?

    Hi.
    I bought a MacBook Pro retina 13', mid 14. on last december, and after almost a month I did the hardware test of apple as the Technic support says, and this hardware test shows me a problem about charging battery, so, I wanna know what about it, is it normal ? or is it a battery problem or is it a problem about the Current adaptador ? Thank your for your answers.

    Could be battery, could be adaptor, could be the computer itself.  You will have to take it in for testing.  Fortunately, you are still under warranty.

    Hi, after updating my iphone since 2 weeks back now i am facing a battery problem i charce fully my iphone and by the end of the day my iphone shuts down it needs to be charged again and if i didi some calles it leaks after few hours. Please adivse me what to do.

    I final piece for me in the jigsaw following on from this
    http://www.care4pcs.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-be-happy-gmail-user-on-iphone-or.html 
    is to turn off wifi when you do not need it. When I leave the house I turn off wifi, because the majority of the times when my iPhone has got very hot and crashed is when I am away from home. I suspect that if the iPhone is in the vicinity of public wifi (wheather secure or not secure) it will try and connect, even if you have 'automatically join known networks' set to off. This is easy of course if you have an unlimited data contract for your iPhone. I may be wrong, but it is working for me. It makes sense for me because it is another way of reducing the work the processor (and battery) has to do and therefore reduces the chance of overheating.
    Having said that, I never had this problem with my iPhone 4. I now have a 4S.
    Try it. Hope it works for you.

  • 4S battery problem - phone dies, can't charge or turn on??

    Having some possible battery problems with my iPhone 4S.  I'm on Sprint, with the latest iOS and running on Windows 7.  It all has to do with when the battery dies, and has happened 3 times already...
    1. battery died, this happened:
    (about a month ago)
    plug in to PC via USB, low battery sign (with small sliver of red available).
    almost immediately (about 2 seconds), apple logo startup screen appears.
    about 20 seconds later, vibrates twice.
    a second later it flashes the lock screen then goes to black with a spinny wheel for about 5 seconds.
    then the apple logo startup screen shows again...and same thing repeats. 
    does not charge at all.  same problem when plugged in to wall charger.
    somehow the next day I got it to show "connect to iTunes" screen, and restored the iPhone.
    2. battery died, same cycle happening.
    (about two-three weeks ago)
    I left it alone for a week & set a Genius Bar appointment.
    somehow, the day before the appointment, I was able to plug in the iPhone, charge it, and turn it on with no problems at all.
    I took it in anyway to the Apple Store and they did a "firmware restore", supposedly different from the restore I did on my home computer.
    3. battery died, same crap again.
    (yesterday...)
    possibly interesting to note was that the battery was fully charged and left alone for the day, but was dead when I checked on it in the evening.
    I think something is happening where the battery isn't actually completely drained - so the second time around when I got lucky, the battery had fully run out... so when I plugged it in to charge it didn't try to turn on straight away (because it couldn't). 
    ...Not really sure though.
    Any thoughts?????

    Could possibly be the battery, I just thought if you remove the battery then try turning the phone on with the charger plugged in and see if that works, but then realised it doesnt as I just tried it, so ignore that one ha ha. Id try another battery in it and see if that solves the prob, if that doesnt work, it might either be totally screwed or just might need re flashing if the firmware has gone down the pan for some reason.

  • Problem charging battery of a Zen MicroPh

    Hi,
    from some weeks on, I have problems trying to charge the battery of my Zen MicroPhoto. If I connect it to my PC, it charges without problems, but if I try to charge it using the wall charger (I have this: http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=23&subcategory=27&product=7), the flashing thunder will appear of the battery icon on the screen but the led surrounding the player doesn't glow in blue light. I left a night the player conneted to the plug but it didn't charged anything! Someone has some suggestion on how to solve this problem?

    When my MBP is plugged into the wall (when I am near a plug, I usually have it plugged in) it will stop charging at 100% and drop slowly to 95% before auto-recharging to 100%.
    Saves the circuits from charging all of the time.
    I do run it on battery at least once a month down to 40%.

  • Battery will not charge, but problem is not battery or ac directly

    So I have an HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC. I have had it for almost 2 years without any serious problems.  I use my laptop to play games on steam and have not had any overheating problems before. Yesterday, I had been playing a game for maybe 10 minutes and the computer shut off.  I assumed this was an overheating issue, but I could not turn the computer back on. Pressing the power button made no lights come on, there was no light for the ac led being plugged in, nothing.  I took the battery out and unplugged everything and held the power button for 30 seconds and nothing happened. Eventually, I got the ac led light to come on by plugging it in without the battery in the computer.
    So now my problem is that I cannot charge the battery. I can only get the computer to recognize the ac adapter when the battery is not in. However, if I plug in the ac adapter and then put in the battery, it says it is charging. However, it isn't actually charging. It just stays at the current percentage.  If I unplug the ac adapter while the battery is in and then try to plug it back in, the computer will not recognize that the ac is plugged in.  I have to turn off the computer, take out the battery, and plug in the ac adapter again. Sometimes it doesn't work the first time either. I have to turn off and on the power strip that I plug it into. I tried it on another outlet and it worked that way, but I still had the same problem with the battery.
    I also have tried to see if the problem is the ac adapter by plugging it in to a different laptop. The other laptop recognized it immediately with the battery still in. I also plugged in a different ac adapter to my computer and it recognized it with my battery still in (it's from an older laptop though so it does not have enough power to charge my battery, so I can't just use that one).
    So the ac adapter apparently works fine. It seems like the problem is with my computer. The battery is also fine. I ran the system tests, it doesn't need to be calliberated either. I thought maybe I needed a BIOS update or there was some problem with a driver, but I don't see how that has to do with the ac adapter.  Does anyone have any ideas? I would really appreciate it as I need this laptop for school so it needs to be portable with a charged battery.

    Hello angiesezrawr, welcome to the HP Forums.
    It appears that you have a power issue with the notebook in relation to the battery. I will try to help you with this.
    Based on the troubleshooting you've tried, the issue appears to be hardware related. Something internal related to the AC power socket and the battery.
    For this I would suggest contacting support for further assistance.

  • Is it possible i am using duplicate charger for charging battery but battery life is very short 6 hours what's the problem

    Is it possible i am using duplicate charger for charging battery but battery life is very short 6 hours what's the problem

    First, the battery. The recalled battery replacements have not held up well, and, unfortunately, feedback on the Apple site isn't what I would call complementary about their batteries. When I replaced mine, I got a Newer Technology battery from OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAP17AL60RS/ . Mine has 104 cycles on it and 4113 mAh capacity.
    Now, charging. There are only 4 components in the charging circuit: Power adapter, DC-in card, battery and logic board. It sounds like your power adapter, being newer, is probably fine. Where the power adapter plugs into the computer, is that jack loose? If you put a pen or pencil on it and push it a little, gently, does it wiggle side-to-side? If so, your DC-in card may be bad. Assuming the battery stats are good and the battery is good, it should charge. Sooo, last but not least, is the logic board. Probably the best thing you can do is find a friend with a Powerbook or visit an Apple store or Apple authorized service provider to use another power supply that they know works (just to be sure) and a substitute battery (again, to be sure). If indeed yours are good, and I went through this a few months ago with one of our Powerbooks, you can replace the DC-in card, and if that doesn't work, then the logic board.
    If you want Apple to do that, have them send it to the Apple depot, where they'll do whatever is required to put the Powerbook in close to new condition. Put an old, bad, Apple battery in it, so they'll replace it. Cost runs around $350 if the case isn't banged up, and if it is, the price can go up. When ours went in, they replaced the logic board and put a new battery in. Of course ensure your data is backed up, and if anything is really confidential, move it onto an encrypted disk on your hard drive or back it up and delete it.
    If you have the store replace the logic board, it will run you more than double what they charge to send it to the depot.

  • N97 Mini Battery

    Hey y'all
    Has anyone else been having battery problems with their N97 mini battery recently.  It started 7 days ago for me. I unplugged my phone mid charge, and noticed that on my phone the battery icon was still moving as if it was charging. I thought it was cute because maybe the atmosphere or my charisma were still charging my phone for me. I restarted my phone and it returned to normal.  The following day my phone did the same thing, only this time I didn’t restart it, but eventually my phone ran out of charge. Since then the battery life on my phone has been very poor, I only get about 8 hours max, and that’s when I have not been on the net or made anything more than one 10 minute phone call.  The battery icon has stopped moving when its unplugged, but the battery life is terrible.
    I have updated my software today so I will monitor it, but seriously is there something up with my battery? It has left me short two days now where I’m in town and my phone has died. I am not happy.
    Any suggestions people?

    My N97 Mini is currently useless as I can't get it charged.
    I have experienced similar problems as have been referred here - and some extra too: E.g. my phone seemed to be able to utilize electricity from the air as the charging lamp was on and the indicators on screen were animated even though the USB cable was off!
    Using the USB port in my laptop was soon not possible either. 'Power Surge On Hub Port. A USB device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port.' was the only result in any of the three ports.
    Anyway I managed to deal with the problem until one day it refused to charge altogether.
    I took it for repair and they said they re-fused something (but were not very convinced that it solved the actual problem and instructed that if the problems remain I should take it back and they'd send it to a central repair shop (or something like that). The charging could be done although by keeping the cable in a certain position etc.
    But now it seems to be time to send it for real repair or replacement.
    Now it just looks like charging, then shuts down after a while, restarts charging, shuts down, (this forever) without ever reaching enough power to get to point to give the PIN.
    Before taking it to repair i was just wondering if this is actually a battery problem, not charging related as such. ---> Has anyone experience of having this solved simply by using a new battery?

  • MBP mid 2010 - 15" 2,4Ghz (Battery Problem)

    Hi guys.
    I have a MBP mid 2010. My battery wont last more that 4.30 hours.
    I have tried more than enough times to test' it.
    Last Night with fully charged battery I was able to get 4.40 Hours.
    Bluetooth OFF
    Low monitor brightness
    Low keyboard illumination
    Air Port was on.
    Basically web browsing and 4 or 5 youtube videos.
    Did not make any software instalation or updates.
    4.30 hours its just to low.
    BTW it as 37 full charges
    My work laptop wich is a Dell Latitude E6400 with a 9cell battery I get more than 5 hours. And it as way more full charge cycles.

    Certainly not... but I'd rather source a complete antiglare clamshell lid and slap it on myself thus upgrading the machine, as long as I know I wouldn't have to replace the logic board as well... I've done plenty of surgery on notebooks, from removing a stuck business-card shaped CD from a 12" PowerBook G4 (requiring *complete* disassembly of the machine) to swapping ThinkPad T61 motherboards into T60 chassis creating a 15" 4:3 IPS FrankenPad which can take 8GB of ram... so I can handle swapping a display.
    Local apple store hasn't told me clearly whether or not it's possible, just that they will only replace it with the original screen...
    I can only find one logic board part # for a 2.4GHz mid-2010 15" MBP, which suggests to me that upgrading the screen should be no problem, but I'd love to hear from someone who's done it or can give a definitive answer as to whether or not it's possible...
