What is causing flashing arrow next to battery status indicator?

I have a flashing white arrow next to the battery status indicator on my ipod touch that is causing music to be unplayable. Everything else appears to be ok. Arrow goes away when doing anything other than music. Any help would be appreciated.

Could be the Location Service icon . Go to SettingsPirvacy and either turn Location services on or off.
Next:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

What is the small arrow next to battery indicator for ?

As above, just noticed that occasionally there is a small black arrow next to the battery indicator, wondered what it is for ?

Is it one of these?

Battery Status Indicator (in menu bar) does not update

I've recently noticed that the battery status indicator in the menu bar gets "stuck," and won't update. I can force it to update by disabling and re-enabling it, or by changing the view style, but if I leave it alone, it won't change, even across sleep/wake cycles.
Any ideas?

Actually, the problem disappeared after a reboot. I reboot so infrequently, I didn't even consider that as a solution, but something else caused me to need to reboot, and after that, the indicator works fine.
Still no idea what caused it to get stuck in the first place, but for now, it's better.
Good luck!

Excite Pro - Battery Status Indicator at 0%

Battery status indicator is stuck at 0% - battery holds charge ok just don't know what it is. I presume the battery stats file is corrupted - is the only way to fix it a factory reset?
Calibration either needs root - not possible or 60% charge - won't work as says 0%!!!!

I think you should set it to factory settings.
Press and hold power button and volume up button. Then in the menu choose factory reset.
If this will not work, then the issue must be related to hardware failure

Nokia E75 Battery Status Indicator?

Hello, well i have a problem. on most phones, if you go in the settings, there will be a section where it says all of the phone status. and i find this really useful when it comes to the battery. But on the Nokia E75 i cant seem to find the battery status indicator. Does anyone know where it is?
***Battery Status Indicator is where is says how much percent of the battery is left.

Faulty battery maybe. The battery has circuitry that reports its charge level and it sounds like that isn't working. You should have it replaced under warranty if possible!

How reliable is the Battery Status Indicator?

I have had my MacBook Pro for a month now, and I don't know if I can trust my battery status indicator a the top of the MacOSX screen
It usually goes a lot shorter than the indicated percentage or the calculated battery life time.
I have another issue with this MBP.
Has anyone actually been able to use MBP for as close to 5 hours which is the battery life posted on the apple website?
I set my MBP to lowest backlight, no programs or widgets running, wireless and bluetooth off and kept it one for hours. The battery lasted a about 3hours and 49 minutes. Is there something wrong with this battery?

As you use your MBP on battery it collects information on your battery usage style and uses that to predict battery run times. based on that it's reasonable accurate providing you calibrate your battery ever 4-8 weeks or so. Also, the data it collects the more accurate it can predict your battery time.
Once you start using your MBP differently though the accuracy can vary but should still remain "reasonably" accurate.
I personally find the times reasonably accurate altough for the most part I run off the percentage rather than time.
Has anyone actually been able to use MBP for as close to 5 hours which is the battery life posted on the apple website?
No-one will ever get 5 hours. As you note from the specs it's "based on usage" or more to the point, it's non-usage. Those time are achieved by having it on my not being "used".
Average battery times should range from 2.5-4 hours depending on your actual usage.

Missing Blackberry Battery Status Indicator

I've looked all over the web, my instruction manual, the index inside the phone, and in still cannot find the meaning of this symbol in the middle of my battery bar. From what I've seen on the internet, its as almost as if it does not exist. I would probably believe so if it was not for the fact that I am staring at it right now as I type this. I have had problems with the USB port on it before and I am pretty sure that has something to do with it. Also when Its plugged into the computer and the port and USB are finally working in unison, the computer says that it is malfunctioned.
The icon appears when I've tried to connect to it to a computer or even sometimes to an outlet. It looks like a C or parentheses with a scrunched up 3 sort of like this:
C 3
or
( 3
I was surprised that no one else has seen or inferred about this icon and even more surprised that a complete index of all battery status indicators would exist; including those for malfunctioned or damaged batteries. Any help or recommendations to help me solve this problem is greatly appreciated.

Hi silvaback75
Can you send us a picture of this icon?
Thanks

What does the blue arrow by the battery symbol mean

My iPod touch's battery has been dying within a couple of hours lately. Today when I took it off the charger there was/is a blue arrow (it looks like the play symbol) next to the battery. What the heck does that mean?

From the manual, the blue triangle arrow means:
Play Shows that a song, audiobook, or podcast is playing. See
“Playing Songs and Other Audio” on page 53
If it is a gray arrow pointing slightly up and to the left
Location services Shows that an app is using location services. See “Location
Services” on page 159.

What is causing Flash Player to crash shortly after I download and install the latest version

It only normally lasts a day or two, but the last time it crashed on the first use the same day I downloaded and installed it. I am running Windows 7 Home Edition with Firefox as my browser, and I have Bitdefender antivirus as well as MalwareBytes anti malware installed and active. As far as I can tell Flash Player is the only program affected this way. Is there any other substitute player I can install that works as a plugin to Firefox and won't crash the day it's installed?

When I used to see this with Win 7 it was because the Shockwave player (not Flash) was outdated.
To make sure you're up to date for both, download the following:
Flash Player Uninstaller
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Also, download these:
Shockwave Player Uninstaller
Shockwave Player 12 FULL installer (ther browsers)
Save all the files and close your browser.
Run the uninstallers first (both of them)
Go to: C/Windows/System32
Delete the Macromed folder.
Go to: C/Windows/SysWOW64 (if your Windows is 64 bit)
Delete the Macromed folder.
Open your Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the Windows key + R and type 'regedit' [minus the quotes] and click OK)
In the Registry Editor, go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE
Delete the Macromedia folder (Right click and choose "Delete").
Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder there too.
Close the Registry Editor and empty your recycle bin.
Run the Flash Player installer, and then the Shockwave FULL installer.
Worst case: If that doesn't stop the crashes, try resetting Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

Lock inside reload symbol next to battery status

This came up on my iPhone4 last night and I can't figure out what it is or how to turn it off. PLEASE HELP!

You disabled the screen auto-rotation. Double-click the "Home" button to bring the task manager at bottom, slide your finger from left to right to bring the "music controls / auto-rotation" screen and touch the left grey reload button to re-enable auto-rotation.

Battery status not updating

I have recently replaced the battery for my IPhone5 after a crash. After that the battery status indicator is not dynamically updating. It updates only after every restart. I tried resetting all settings, updated to recent IOS7.1, restored several times. But of no use. Please guide.

Hi,
I have the same problem with my now replaced iPhone 3G with iOS4...
I have this problem, when I charge my iPhone 3G with the charger, that was supplied with my iPad. And also the problem can only be solved, when rebooting the phone.
When charging, the symbol shows the "flash"-sign in the battery to show, that the iPhone is charging and the symbol changes to the wall-connector-symbol, after the iPhone has fully charged. But when disconnecting the charger, the battery-symbol still shows empty, until I reboot.
The problem occurs with the iPad charger, but it does not occur, when charging the iPhone inside my "JBL radial" soundspeaker-system.
So I think about a bug in iOS4
Regards,
Florian
