When charging, battery indicator not moving, it is just staying red

when charging my ipod there is a connection but after at least an hour, the battery indicator is still red but somehow it says that there is a connection. What do you think the problem is?

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

Never see the charging battery indicator

Hi...I just got the new 8 GB Nano 3G and there is something I don't understand. When I plug my Ipod to my Intel MAC mini on a USB 2.0 port, I never see the big battery charging indicator or the charged battery indicator. The only thing I see on the grey screen is a 30 pin black connector image in an orange circle and it's written underneath : Connected...Eject before disconnecting. How come I don't see the charging battery indicator ??
The other thing, this screen is always ON at full brightness. Is there a way to get this screen turned OFF or dimmed when connected to the computer ?
I tried the IPOD directly connected to the computer or connected to the Apple dock and no difference. I run IPOD firmware 1.01 and the latest version of Itunes.
Thanks for your help ..

Regarding the Battery indicator I think that is working as designed. If you EJECT your ipod (while keeping it connected to the USB port) then you should see the charging indicator.
The dimming question... You can change this setting in the menu. Now I don't have my ipod in front of me to give you the right path but you should find it fairly easy if you browse the menus. Look for "backlight" in "settings" I think.

Battery indicator never moved

Hi.
I bought my iPhone 3G three weeks ago. The battery indicator never moved. It always displays 100%. My iPhone battery unloads and it suddenly shut off when battery is empty. I never have a single warning. The battery has been loaded almost everyday, i have done several full battery cycle, reboot the iPhone, upgraded to 2.0.1, made several firmware resets. Is their any solution to this problem ?

Yes use a digital camera to document the full battery indicated and then shuts off due to no battery, and then take it to the local Apple store and exchange it. That is a faulty device. Or just go in and hope that they trust you, and take your word for it. As many issues as people are having I doubt they will give you much hassle. Some poeple have exchanged their phones many times for petty cosmetic reasons, and have had no problem with the exchange.

Torch battery indicator not right

I'm using a Torch 9800 on AT&T, OS is 6.0 bundle 2647.
My battery indicator is reporting that the battery is draining very rapidly.... it gets to zero in an hour or two, but the device keeps running all day long without actually running out of power.  I've turned off GPS, WIFI, BT, and dimmed the screen. When I pull the battery and reinsert it, the indicator goes back to indicating a nearly full charge, but then indicates (erroneously) that it is rapidly losing it's charge, getting back to zero in a couple of hours. I've swapped batteries with a coworker and had the same results. It even stays at zero when plugged in to the charger, even though I know the battery is charging.
Any ideas?

Your "on-device" battery meter is not updating or correctly calculating the battery charge.
There are a couple things I can recommend:
upgrade your device operating system.
Connect your device to a wall outlet charger, and allow it to charge an hour or so, and while STILL connected to the charger, remove the battery on the device for a minute, replace and reboot. See how it goes on the meter, and if it doesn't get straight, refer back to #1.

IPad (3rd generation) battery indicator not accurate!

Yesterday I charged my 3rd generation iPad to 100% then left it charging an additional 1 and a 1/4 hours additional. The battery indicator read 100% this morning it read 95% as it wasn't off just sleeping. I then turned off the iPad using the power button on top. When I turned it on again the battery indicator read 100% again. What is going on? To me it seems like there is a software problem in the battery charging system.

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.

Palm Pre crazy symptoms: "phone offline", will not charge battery, will not start, error message "an error has occured that cannot be resolved"

This is a long description of a series of problems with my new Palm Pre. You may wish to search the text to find your specific issue(s). There is no solution in my post. Look for possible answers in the responses to come.
I bought my Palm Pre 4 days ago and it arrived 2 days ago. Phone worked great. Last night I plugged in the phone and updated the OS. After completion, I selected "Done" and went to bed.
- First Series of Issues: "Phone Offline", will not charge battery -
In upper lefthand corner of the phone there is the message "phone offline". Although the phone has been charging all night it reads "26% battery". I called the general Sprint tech support number and we tried the following things:
1) Restart phone (press and hold power button, then select "turn off". after power down, press and hold power button to power on.)
2) Reset the phone (several different ways - call tech support so that you do this correctly)
The individual at Sprint then sent me to another tech support person, presumably 2nd tier.
- Second Series of Issues: Error message "an error has occured that cannot be resolved" -
Sprint tech support person #2 also had me restart and reset the phone in a number of ways. In her words "we've tried every palm pre trick I know" and each time the phone was unresponsive. Often we received the error message "phone is offline". We did a full erase and after that the phone would no longer restart. At this point the error message came up saying "an error has occured that cannot be resolved" which referred me to www.palm.com for assistance. I think it's important to note here that this was not the typical error message (black screen with white letters) but rather the blue sky background with a semitransparent box over it with white text.
Sprint tech support person #2 then connected me with Palm support and the dance continued. Again we tried a whole bunch of resetting and restarting and erasing options. Palm support instructed me to go to: www.palm.com/rom to download WebOS Doctor, which I did. I downloaded the file. While that was happening he had me hold the "volume up" button and plug the phone into the charger. This caused a USB symbol to appear on the phone. When the file was complete I received an error message that the file couldn't run. Palm tech support person seemed surprised. I mentioned that I was on a Mac and he said he couldn't help me. He then transferred me to another Palm support person who works with Mac users.
Palms tech support person #2 then informed me that I should have selected the "mac" download option on www.palm.com/rom. I verbally walked her through the whole series of webpages, telling her that it says that you need Windows (version whatever) or Mac (version whatever) but that at no time was there an option to download a different WebOS Doctor for different operating systems. After some more discussion she told me she would have to have someone call me back tomorrow.
- Third Series of Issues: phone stuck on USB symbol -
So at the moment the phone is completely useless. Not fantastic. I booted up the mac in Windows 7 and downloaded WebOS Doc and received the same error. I also ran Windows Vista virtually and received the same error. Later this afternoon I'm heading into work to try the same thing on Windows XP.
In the meantime, I got onto this forum and located a thread that provided a direct link to the necessary file:
palm.cdnetworks.net/staging/rom/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar
After downloading that file, which I realized could totally be a virus, I was able to get WebOS Doc working on my computer. It required that I recharge the phone completely before beginning and now it's on the screen that says "Don't disconnect your phone" and the file is at 3% complete. Only... it's been at 3% complete for almost 30 minutes.
I am hoping that Palm will follow up with me tomorrow, but I'm leaving at 7am on a business trip and would love to have the thing working. Any suggestions are welcome, even if you can just tell me how to get the think disconnected safely before my flight tomorrow. I don't fancy getting through security with my phone wired to my laptop.
Thanks.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Our phone support is open every day Monday through Sunday, although there are different hours of operation for the weekend. If after a webOS Doctor reset you are still experiencing the same problems, I would likely recommend replacement, either in a local store for your carrier or through our technical support department.
There may be additional technical support offered or suggested over the phone, this would need to be done first before a replacement could be issued.
Hope this helps,

X41 (1866-ED5) Will charge battery but not run from it.

I haven't used this laptop for about 5 weeks.
I plugged it in it started charging from 27% up to 80% like normal.
Then it was slow to charge the next few percent. It got to about 83%
Then I unplugged it for a bit to move it. It ran off the battery at this point. I plugged it in again and it went up to 93% at a normal rate and stopped.
I went to move it again about an hour later and unplugged it and it lost power.
Now it will show the battery in windows but it will only start up and run if it has AC.
The battery report shows it's fine. The battery is not very old and only shows 39 cycles.
What should I try?

sounds like a bad battery. you could try running a cycle on it. let it discharge completely and then charge it up. see if there's any change. being that it didn't charge to 100% and it took a long time to get to 83% sounds like there's a problem with the battery.

Ibook Battery Indicator Not Accurate

I was wondering if anyone out there had the same problem as me. When I use my 12" iBook on the portable battery, the computer goes to sleep earlier than indicated. When I have 22% of battery left, it suddenly says 0% and goes to sleep. Moreover, when I recharge it, it charges up to about 88% and the power adapter turns green. It then suddenly says 100%. I recently recalibrated my battery so I don't think thats the problem. Does anyone know what is wrong and what to do? Thanks

Hi Pal,
Heres some info on the iBook's battery. Also you might want to look at Battery FAQ
Just some info,

C6-00 charging light indicator not working

Hi !
I have updated my c6-00 phone software to 40.0.021. After the update, white charging indicator light has stopped working (around the charger port on phone). Rest of charging process is working fine.
How can I fix this issue ??
Thanks and Regards,
Binod

try reinstalling the firmware!

Battery indicator not accurate on retina MBP

as seen in my screen shot, the battery bar indicates 100% and no longer charging. The light on the magsafe also displays green. However, on system report, and coconut battery, it indicates that power is 99% and still charging.
Does anyone experience the same phenomenon?

no one has this experience?

Camera flashes when charged battery is inserted. Won't power up.

Battery went dead while taking photos. I charged the battery. Upon inserting, the camera flashed (weird) but wouldn't power up. Then, the battery charger showed that the battery needed charging, so I did it again. In a few minutes it appeared to be ready, so I repeated the process with the same result. I thought maybe I ruined the battery, so I bought a new one.
Same result. I would think it's a software problem, but there's nothing I can do to get this **bleep** thing to light up!
Any ideas?
