charging iphone since ios7

i too have problems with the charging... I don't know if this is really a bug, but it is somehow a new feature which they have to change. In the previous ios, the plug symbol appears if the device is already fully charged,lightning bolt if still charging... but now since there is no symbol or indicator that says if the device is fully charged, it will only say 100% charged or something similar, not like before, we don't really know if the device is fully charged.

my battery also gets drained faster, i watch one movie on it and i get a low battery notif.. before the upgrade i can watch movies all day!! very sad cause i bought my ipod only this may..

This forum isn't for venting, sharing, commiserating, demanding, complaining, and blaming. It's for asking technical support questions and giving technical support advice.

I realize that this is a discussion forum, however, whatever will we discuss if not for workarounds we can do if the devices are not working the same way before? modular747 mentioned i should go to apple complaints or somthing,however modular747 you are not helping in any way except point us where we should file our complaints to apple etc. Also as this is a user only forum, who will give us the technical assistance that you have mentioned? You?

There is no technical support to give you. If you turn on the percentage indicator, you'll be able to see when the charge reaches 100% (i.e. fully charged). Also, when the device is fully charged, the battery symbol is solid green. That is the way it is. There is no way to change that. If you don't like it, submit feedback to Apple suggesting they change it.

Settings-General-Usage right? The only items I have under Usage is: Storage; ICloud, and Time since last full charge, i dont see options in turning the precentage part on. Is this part of a newer update? I haven't updated since the ios7 upgrade so if it is i would probably update again. Thanks!

Battery percentage setting has been there since iOS 3. It's right between the iCloud and Time since last charge.

it will only say 100% charged or something similar, not like before, we don't really know if the device is fully charged.

Really? What else could "100% charged" possibly mean?

,however modular747 you are not helping in any way except point us where we should file our complaints to apple etc.

There is no possible tech support for someone who only wants to complain that iOS 7 design is the root of all problems, and vehemently rejects and dismisses any suggestion otherwise. Take you for instance... What is your tech support question? (Rhetorical question - you post only complaints about iOS 7 and me.)

I have an ipod..searched some more on google, i think apple turned that feature off for ipod (still can't be sure since im just browsing forums) since im not seeing it. Thanks anyway.

okay. my question is... can you confirm if the battery percentage indicator is a feature not available for ipods? the suggestions i've been reading i think might only work for iphones, but i wouldn't know. Can you confirm that?

If you have an iPod, you should be posting in the iPod section of Apple Communities, not the iPhone forum.

i am also not rejecting any of your suggestions, i have read your replies but it is not what i am looking for. can you please stay on topic and stop bashing me.

The battery percentage is present in every iPod Touch I've ever seen, but I don't own or use one myself. As already said, post in the iPod forum.

Curious remark from someone who's prime topic is to bash me.

how did i bash you? thanks for directing me to the correct forum,it is unavailable for ipods.

You're welcome.

how did i bash you?

Huh? Re-read your 1st post. You quoted me and and mentioned me be by name twice to complain that I was "not helping" (whatever you mean by help to someone not asking a question and only complaining...)

I meant that you are not helping by insulting all the people posting in this forum. they maybe complaining but at least we know that this is not an isolated problem, a lot of people are experiencing it. The other responses you gave were helpful but your insults made you seem arrogant. The 100% charged i mentioned appeared only after 2 hours after charging, that is why I am not sure if that really means 100% charged. The store i bought my ipod from suggested that my device will be 100% charged and will be ready to use after 2 hours, but to really maximize it i should charge it for four hours. in the previous ios i can see the small gap in the green bar, aside from the plug indicator, which means that my device is not only ready for use but the battery is really full. i do not know if what the store said is actually true, but i have followed their suggestion before the update. Now that the battery indicator has changed, that suggestion will not work anymore. i would not know if my ipod is now fully charged except to guess. Now when i remove the charger when the 100% shows up,my battery life is shorter. i will post this as well in the feedbacks.

they maybe complaining but at least we know that this is not an isolated problem, a lot of people are experiencing it.

What "problem" you referring to? At least 5 completely different and conflicting complaints are in this thread:

1. Apple cables fail to charge - only 3rd party cables work

2. 3rd party cables dont work, only Apple cables work

3. No cables work

4. All cables work, but phone charges slow.

5. No longer says "Fully Charged," only 100% charged

The 100% charged i mentioned appeared only after 2 hours after charging, that is why I am not sure if that really means 100% charged.

Huh? The "100% charged" in iOS7 means exactly the same thing as "Fully Charged" does in iOS 1 - iOS 6.

The store i bought my ipod from suggested that my device will be 100% charged and will be ready to use after 2 hours, but to really maximize it i should charge it for four hours

Nonsense. When the phone reaches 100% charged, charging stops and switched to trickle charge.

Now when i remove the charger when the 100% shows up,my battery life is shorter.

IF you get less battery time with iOS 7, it's because iOS 7 features drain the battery faster. See this for suggestions:

7 Ways to Stop iOS 7 From Killing Your iPhone Battery

Also, you need to do a full cycle charge once a month to keep the battery meter calibrated:

1. Charge to 100%

2. Run the phone to auto-shutoff (not just low battery warning)

3. Charge again to 100%
