iPhone 6s Plus battery percentage getting stuck

My iPhone 6s Plus battery percentage gets stuck frequently. Like for example, it will say 87% all day, and then I'll plug it in for an hour, and it will still say 87%.


The only fix I've found is to power the phone off and then turn it back on. Then the percentage will update correctly, and will usually continue to update properly for awhile. But eventually it gets stuck again.


In the 3 days since it was delivered on Friday, I've had to reboot my iPhone 6s Plus at least four times to fix this issue.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.0.1

i have opend it. just clean some pastes and now the problem is gone. but yet when i insert usb cable in thundering port no service is showed. the strange thing is that whetherv i insert the other side of cable to charger or not i can see no service problem ihave tested if i insert the cable when i'm talking on a call all voices gone and if i take it out soon voice and call is yet active. i think it must be a problem of my usb jack. because the problem behaviour is passive as i told just i put in the cable in the other side of cable is free. any body has the same problem?

My iPhone 6s was working properly for more than 3 Month.Now, I'm having a few problems with it. I will explain the problems one by one, after doing all the diagnosis I can on my end:

  • When I charge my iPhone, it shows the battery percentage indicator, but the battery percentage doesn't increase.
  • The charge indicator will stick on the number that's currently on the display.
  • After restarting the phone, I see the battery percentage increase—but this doesn't work every time.
  • Sometimes the phone charges properly, but I have to face this issue most of the time.
  • When I do a hard reset (home+power button), the battery percentage some start increasE
  • Sometimes, when the battery is totally dead and I try to charge it, the phone won't start, and it will only show the red indicator on the screen.
  • I've been facing this issue for the past three weeks. My phone is currently on iOS 9.3.2
  • I need to unplug and connect a few times to make the iPhone connect to iTunes, but iTunes works fine on the phone.
  • The phone has never been repaired before.
  • I've tried changing the charger and cables. I've also recalibrated the battery and performed a restore, but that didn't fix the problem.

Is this issue due to a bad battery, or is there some problem with the phone's logic board?
