Usage meter counts while charging

This is my second iphone. My first one would not reach full charge and the usage meter never showed any statistics after a week of use.
This phone has been great with a few things wrong, one continues to be the battery meter. When charging sometimes the battery on the screen will be full, sometimes it isn't no real pattern. But the plug icon always shows up and the usage meter does reset. However I have noticed one thing.
On the times that the battery icon is not full but there is a plug icon indicating full charge, when I unplug the iphone and check the usage it will read usage and stand-by times that are often several hours but both are equal. Like this morning I got up and it read 3 hours 23 minutes on both usag and stand-by time.
Now on the few times that the battery icon actually gets full when I pick it up the usage meter reads 0 for both so it is correctly set.
Has anyone else experienced this? Or seen their usage meter start counting while the iphone is charging. It is very strange and confuses me.

Nathan, I'm afraid I don't understand your answer and hope you can clarify it.
According to the iPhone user manual (pp. 95-96), the numbers in the usage statistics mean the following:
∙ Amount of time iPhone has been unlocked and in use since the last full charge
∙ Amount of time iPhone has been in standby mode—locked but turned on—since the last full charge
If the phone becomes fully charged during the night and then just sits there in sleep mode, then the first number (unlocked and in use) should be zero. During that time, even if you argue that it's being "used" by watching for calls, it's not unlocked. This is not happening, however, for myself or the original poster. Rather, both meters appear to be showing standby time since fully charged with the wall charger.
When I then connect it to my computer in the morning and it again gets fully charged, which only takes a few minutes, the usage stats stay at 0 minutes for both numbers until I disconnect the iPhone from the computer. Even if I leave it there for an hour or more, it stays at 0/0 until I disconnect it.
Simply put, my iPhone behaves differently with respect to these usage statistics depending on whether I charge it with the wall charger or with my computer. This is a benign and easily-worked-around bug, but it is a bug nonetheless.

Usage Meter/ Power off charging

I have two questions.
1) When does the usage meter reset? Every night I charge my iPhone and it'll say something like 65 hours after awhile, with a message of "iphone has been plugged in since last full charge." Does this mean i haven't fully charged only partially charged it? I seriously leave it on the hook for like 10 hours or so. I'm a student about to start classes so i'm sleeping in a lot.
2) People keep posting to charge it while it's off to charge it faster for, lets say your leaving and it's almost dead. Can this be done? Everytime I plug my powered off iPhone into the dock connected to the wall charger it turns itself back on.

If your battery charges fully the usage meter will be at 0 and there will be no message stating the phone has been plugged in since the last charge. You need to fully charge the phone (make the lightning bolt symbol on the battery in the top right turn to a plug symbol) to reset the usage meters and reach a 'full charge'. You may want to try restoring your phone and adding the new update then charging the phone overnight with bluetooth and wifi off, but you don't 'need' to turn your phone off in order to completely charge it. My phone charges fully with bluetooth and wifi on.
Sometimes it seems like the counter starts in the middle of the night, I haven't had that happen recently so it might have just been some odd charging issue or it had downloaded some data that caused the charge to drop.
In short, plug it in and let it charge fully. If the counter doesn't reset after you have tried turning it off and charging it then do the restore/reset. If the counter still won't reset and you do not see the plug symbol call Apple.
The 'plugged in' message means that since you FULLY CHARGED the phone you have also put it in a dock. Sync it, leave it plugged in, or drop it in the cradle for a couple of seconds and you will get that message.
Good Luck,

On my iPhone 5, the battery symbol and percentage won't change, even while charging or during usage throughout the day. The battery is however charging and draining properly from what I can tell.

Has anyone had this issue or know of a fix?
Thanks

Try this
Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
Using the phone while charging doesn't create a problem.. I do it all the time

Error while upgrading usage meter 3.0.2 to 3.3.2

I'm trying to upgrade vCloud Usage Meter 3.0.2 to 3.3.2. I have followed the procedure given in the "vCloud Usage Meter User's Guide - vCloud Usage Meter 3.3".
On Importing the um from the old appliance it shows error as below
in the Error.log it shows ERROR: relation "Provider" does not exist
in the import.log it shows scp: /tmp/umxfer: No such file or directory

Actually this is the first time I'm attempting to upgrade the vCloud UM. The old appliance was a fresh install and that too was done by someone who is not in our system anymore. Also I haven't worked on Unix/Linux for ages so this kinds of freaking me out.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

MBA usage while charging

is it a right way, when possible, to save battery, to use MBA while charging? j mean, in this way, MBA use the wall power instead of the battery power: right or wrong?

You can keep the computer plugged in while in use.
Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.
If you keep the computer always plugged in, make sure that at least twice a month
run it on battery until battery charge level drops to about 50-40%.
Please don’t discharge the battery completely. Discharging battery completely will reduce battery health.

Broadband usage meter for BT users

How do I use the broadband usage monitor?
What information is being displayed?
The monitor is designed to show you all the usage that has been downloaded and uploaded over your broadband connection for the current month. This will help you to see how much of your monthly usage allowance has been used and how much there is remaining. The monitor only includes usage which counts towards your allowance; traffic from services such as BB talk and the BT Vision video store, is discounted from your total.
The monitor also helps you to manage your usage by displaying three different views to indicate the current status your usage:
If the slider is green then, at the last update, you were within your usage allowance.
If the slider is yellow then, at the last update, you were within your monthly usage allowance but there is a chance you might go over before the end of the month.
If the slider is red then, at the last update, you had already gone above your usage allowance and you may be subject to charges as outlined in our Fair Usage Policy.
If you are on an unlimited product then you will never be charged for additional usage. The usage data will be displayed in blue for all customers who have an unlimited monthly usage allowance, subject to the Fair Usage Policy.
If you are finding that your current usage allowance is not meeting your needs, then you might want to consider upgrading to one of our broadband options with a higher usage allowance. To find out more please see; How can I increase my usage allowance?
How do I access the usage monitor?
You can access the usage monitor through your My BT online account at any time. In the product section of My BT there is a 'View my broadband usage' link, click this link to open the usage monitor.
When is usage information updated?
The usage displayed on the monitor is scheduled to update every 24 hours. To help you keep track of the updates, the time and date of the last update are displayed on the left hand side of the page.
What if I have more than one billing account?
If you have multiple broadband accounts it is important to check that the right account is selected in your My BT page. You can change which account is selected using the drop down list on the homepage.
Troubleshooting - Why isn't the monitor displaying correctly?
If you are having problems accessing the monitor it may be because:
You do not have a My BT account set-up.
The usage monitor is undergoing maintenance. If this happens we will display a service message informing when the monitor will be available again.
The service is busy. In the rare event that this happens a service message will be displayed to inform you. Try again at a later time to access the monitor.
The monitor is not displaying correctly. It may be that you need to adjust your browser settings in order for the monitor to display correctly. Alternatively the device you are using to access the monitor may not be supported. Try accessing the monitor from your PC.
Summary:
The usage monitor helps you to manage your usage by showing how much of your monthly usage allowance has been used and how much is remaining each month.
The monitor is accessed through the My BT online account. You may need to register for this service.
Usage is updated on the monitor every 24 hours.
It is important to make sure the correct billing account is selected in My BT to ensure the right usage data is displayed. The telephone number of the broadband line is displayed on the monitor.
There may be some occasions when the monitor doesn't display correctly, please see the troubleshooting section to address these.

hi andy,
thanks for you reply, some usefull links there..
i just noticed a reply you made to another post..
"suggested keeping a daily figure from the BT online meter, and I was also going to suggest that you perhaps look at the hub stats for up/downloads too."
how do you look at the hub stats? as i would like to know this info. accordibng to bt i've used 52.18gb since 4th november..
Hi again.
On my hub 2, type A - log into it, typically http://192.168.1.254/ or http://api.home. The Settings (enter your hub password). Advanced settings/Continue to ..... and click the Broadband link. I'm sure there's a simpler way, but that's how I do it (albeit infrequently). You then get a Data transmitted line giving up/downloads.
That figure may well contain things like BTVision access, BBTalk and other items that are not included in the overall usage.
However the hub stats will not be based on the connection time shown above, but possibly on a hub reset. I've not not really checked this, but other folk will know.

Mobile data usage meter is HUGELY overcharging me...why?

It's 4-5 days since I got my sim card for the $49 Freedom Connect BYO plan. That's a plan with 1.5 gigs included data and 25c per megabyte for excess data. My data usage meter says I've used 0 kb of my included data and over $400 worth of pay as you go data (200mb charged at $2 a megabyte). I spoke to the chat support a few days ago and they confirmed this is 'wrong' and said they 'take the charges away'. Well, since then, my data has continued to be charged at $2 per megabyte. Holy cow, does Telstra want my house? Can anyone clarify, reassure or otherwise me about this?

Thanx Ben_F i hope you get payed mate I have received tokens of appreciation from Telstra for my work on these forums, however that isn't why I come here and it isn't why I post (I think Jokiin and Drat would agree). jonandemi wrote:
just cant believe how regular these problems are and telstra do nothing to fix up the usage meter. How many people get ripped off and dont know and how many people get ripped off and dont have the guts to fight/know how to get the moeny back (huge amounts).Thats subjective really..... There aren't as many posts on this issue as, for example, the SG2 threads. As for not knowing, I would assume that customers would think about contacting Telstra via Phone, Email, LiveChat or via a Telstra Store (Last Resort). Customers should feel free to able to contact suppliers and ask questions about their account. jonandemi wrote:
I know of 3 people personally who have payed over $800 each and left telstra for good because they just didnt want the stress of dealing with it or didnt know how to deal with it.

Pretty good for about $400 of charges. jonandemi wrote:

Faults on BT's online usage meter page

Assuming that it is July 1st today, surely my online usage meter at bt.com should have reset to zero. It still shows 30GB used out of 40GB (Option 2) as if it were still June.
What's more, clicking the Help with BB Usage links merely replicates the same page.
Something is not right. Woe betide BT if I get charged for exceeding my limit.

Mine's been reset in the last few hours between about 0200 hrs and 0830 hrs on the 2 July, with a new date on the left - 1 July 23:59. The previous datestamp on the "incorrect" meter page was 30 June 23:59.
But here's a strange thing: this morning at about 01:30 my Home Hub page was registering a reboot 3 days 12 hrs ago, and an incredibly wild usage figure of 45GB download, 7 hrs later it reads 2 days 22 hrs with the same d/l record

Usage meter change?

Can anyone help me with this? My usage about a half hour ago showed 3 hours, 33 minutes. I just checked it again, just kind of randomly, and it shows the usage at 1 hour 45 minutes! I restarted the phone, but it didn't change and am charging it now.
Has this happened to anyone else?
I posted this once already but it was deleted because it supposedly wasn't technical -- can't figure out how this isn't technical. I am trying to figure out if this is a bug or if it's something others have experienced. Please answer fast in case they delete it again. So much for a "discussion board" huh?

I've been monitoring my data usage and I haven't came across any errors, but the usage meter for time usage since last full charge can be wrong because mine has reset just from a quick charge but this has only happened once or twice.

Usage Meter Question

Ok, so I took the plunge on Tuesday and after a whole night of use I needed to recharge the battery on Wednesday morning. I was reading that the usage meter will turn on after the first complete charge cycle, so I was anxious to see this feature.
Charging went fine, and after it completed the phone did display usage and stand by time for a number of hours, until at some point late last night it suddenly went blank.
I haven't tried a new full charge since I haven't run the battery down that much at this point.
That being said I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue?? I searched the forums and saw some posts regarding the usage meter, but nothing like this.
The only thing that I did yesterday was turn the power off and back on, but I asked a friend to check this and the usage meter on the test phone kept clocking away.
Thoughts???

Hey djextort,
I actually posted a message like this but got no replies because no one had the same problem, but i guess there are a few people out there, I actually had the same problem when it randomly just started showing a few dashes, and after that I started having more problems. I got it to work by resetting it through iTunes and also by doing the whole reset through the phone, but days later the same problem occured, and i could never tell, eventually i started having battery problems and all that.
I actually just took it into the Apple store for the second time today, because the first time i took it in they did a instore reset, but what happened was that it showed i had 8 hours of usage time, with a full battery, right when i took it off the charger when i had fully charged it...
...the guys at the at Apple store ran some tests and found that it was a problem from the manufacturers, so they did the simple three day shipping of a new one, and I don't know if you're okay with that, but it worked out pretty well for me because they're sending me a whole new phone, thats my suggestion for you because it sounds like we had the same problem, and mine just progressively got worse.

Usage Meter doesn't work

I have used my Iphone for one week now. It works great with one exception. The usage meter in the settings menu has never worked. I always get a full charge, but the meter never resets. Any ideas?

Have you tried resetting your phone? Hold down the sleep and home buttons for 10 seconds until the Apple logo shows up on the iPhone screen. Retry the charge and see if the usage meter resets.

Usage meter stuck?

Hi all,
Any one else have stuck usage meter? Mine has not been updated since the 18th. Makes it a little hard to track my usage without it.
Just wondering if it just me as I have not seen any posts about it being stuck yet.
Thanks.

I tried both Firefox and Internet explorer, cleared the cache from both first too and it still seems stuck.
Possibly being updated or in a state of maintenance but would be nice for a note on the web page telling us so. BT are quick to say that the usage meter is the law when it comes to charging for over use but not so fast when there is an error to let us know its being worked on.

Proof usage meter is faulty

For many years I have had no problem with the reported amount of download/upload data reported by the usage meter. It has seemed quite accurate and in line with my own system logs.
I have a cable modem directly connected to a Linux system. There is no router in between. The cable modem is running in bridged mode, which disables the wireless capabilities of the modem.
On 28-Jul-12, I disabled the network interface on that computer, as I'm making system changes and didn't really require network access on that particular computer during that time. By disabled, I mean I shut down the network interface on the Linux system. The DHCP client is not running and I have no IP address lease. Usage meter screenshot:
http://s8.postimage.org/6e6elfzat/bpusage1.jpg
As expected, usage on the next day shows 0MB down, 0MB up. However the day after (30-Jul-12) shows 168GB downloaded. For 3 straight days, it has reported exactly 2516MB uploaded. On 02-Aug-12, it reported exactly twice the previous days usage, 5031MB. On each of those days 0MB was reported as download. A typical TCP/IP connection would have at least some data sent in both directions. This is hardly what I would describe as a normal usage pattern,
I called Bigpond on 03-Aug-12, but failed to convince anyone that there is a problem in their metering system. They are trying to suggest someone may be using my wireless connection (I don't have wireless), or that a computer is running Napster/Kazza (I don't have a Windows computer), or a virus has infected my system. Early on 05-Aug-12, I physically switched off the cable modem.   Since that time, the usage meter has recorded another 168GB downloaded.   It is impossible to download anywhere near that amount considering that
- a) I have been capped for the last 5 days - b) I have no IP address for the last 8 days - c) The cable modem is switched off This is proof that Bigpond's usage meter is faulty, but Bigpond continually refuses to address my concerns at all. I get the standard scripted response and they refuse to have a systems/network person look at how this usage report is generated. I don't want a new modem, or someone to check my line dammit, this is a problem with Bigpond's metering system, not a problem at my end. Bigpond refuses to tell me what IP addresses I have had this usage countered towards. If they did check, they would find I have had no IP address. Without an IP address, I couldn't have generated any traffic, or even had unsolicited traffic sent to me (DDoS etc). Notice in the image that exactly the same amount of data has been recorded as being downloaded on 30-Jul-12 and 05-Aug-12. What a coincidence. Also, 03-Aug-12 usage meter previously showed data as loaded (2516MB) but mysteriously disappeared after a call to Bigpond.

It should be noted that 6.5 of the General Terms for Consumer Customers - Part of Telstra's "Our Customer Terms" says: We are required by various industry codes to ensure that our bills are accurate and verifiable and we are committed to complying with these requirements.

BT Usage Meter Reading Does not Match Home Hub3 Tr...

Why am I unable to match my Home Hub3 Traffic Statistics with BT's Usage Meter?
Currently BT Usage Meter claims I have used 4.93 G bytes over the last 11 days whilst the HUB3 states that only 4.10 G bytes of traffic has been uploaded & downloaded in the same period>

I think the only way they would be close to matching is if HH3 was reset by yourself at the midnight start of the charging period. Even then this is not infallible as the figures would not match, if the hub reset for another reason during the check period.
Its also worth noting that HH3 (mine and others I have readabout) reset the data when 5Gb download occurs. I am not sure if the same applies to uploads.

Usage time counter wrong

Hi there,
after a unsuccessful iOS 8 installation I made a downgrade for iOS 7.1.2 until Apple was supporting that.
A few days later I started to notice a usage time incredible big, like 15h.
looking deeper, I saw that the usage time was getting bigger with the iPad was in standby. I got an increase of 1h30h in usage time each 4h of standby.
I already did the obvious reset (holding sleep and home button) and I did a reset content and settings on the iPad. Only the last step produced some results but did solve the problem by 100%. I mean, it stills counting while iPad is sleeping.
MY last and probably most effective step was make a restore from iTunes but it will update my iOS which I dont wanna do util Apple fixes all Wifi issues.
Is there something to do about it ? It's a little annoying because the counter always worked ok. On the other hand, I didn't notice any decrease of battery life.

No, everyone can make downgrade a few days after a new release. You just must have an backup of the old IPSW file. The hole process occur through iTunes without any tweaks.
By the way, I found the responsible for eating my "usage time" while my iPad was sleeping: Skype!
I realised that Skype was trying to connect even without an internet connection active. When I selected "Offline" before quitting Skype, I got no extra usage time while sleep.
If you just quit from Skype it stills trying to connect even without internet connection.
