Q: iPhone 6s Plus battery percentage getting stuck

same issue 6s 64G.  am in Hong Kong so seems a universal issue.  was asked by genius to restore from itunes, setup as new, and then restore/not restore backup.  the issue still wouldn't go away.

yesterday I tried the fully flat then recharge but that hasn't worked.

I have a problem with this issue also.  I have an iPhone 6 Plus and an older iPad and both are not charging at all with any cable that I have.  The phone is now flat and even after a full factory setting re-set it is still the same.  Are Apple aware of this issue?

Is the phone battery actually flat, or is it just showing me it is flat?

I am having this same problem as well. I have a two week period where best buy mobile will take the phone back and give me a new one for free if it's not working correctly. Not sure what I should do. I know of people who have the iPhone 6s (not plus) that are having the same problem.

OK. Does anyone here play candy crush or any other games where you can change time and get more lives? If you do, this MIGHT be the issue. Software is confused when you change dates and times and doesn't know how to show true battery life. Pretty sure they can fix with update in the future. Or I could be totally wrong. I have an appointment with the genius next week so I'll hear him or her out. My real concern is this Samsung vs TSMC chips that are in our phones. Apple used 2 kinds of chips and I have the Samsung one. TSMC is supposedly better for battery life and runs cooler according to the techie youtubers. Apple... Arg!

I had wondered if maybe this issue was specific to the chip type, but I have the TSMC chip and am having the issue.

I Was about to say the same thing ... Days i don't mess with the click all is fine .... Days I mess with the time results in battery % issue .... Have to hard reset with home button and power to make all right again

It's a problem for me too.  I have replaced my iphone 6s already and same problem again.  Playing a game and percentage shows 80% (which I know is wrong because I've been playing for over an hour) but reboot and its at 30%.  I charge it all night and wake up to it at 67%.  Do a reboot and its at 100%.   It is interesting that there was a mention of candy crush and changing the date for more moves.  I have been doing that and have the issues.  I'm going to stop doing that and see if it resolves itself.  On my first 6s I called and described the percentage problem and they said it must be a bad phone.  So I exchanged it within 2 days of having it.  First day and it's a problem again. Get yo sh*# together apple!

Well my phone has finally died, it will not charge and the battery is now dead, so I cannot do anything with it.  I will take it to my nearest Apple Store on Sunday.  I do feel that the Apple Store should be responsible for this.  My phone was fine before I upgraded to 9.0.2.

I've changed the time around, though I don't remember if it happened before or after and I haven't done it in a while. However, I can say that so far the battery indicator is working so far after I restarted my phone.

Same problem on 6s running 9.0.2.

i stopped changing time.  and the batt issue was gone for the past 4 days.  OR would apple be able to do something at background to fix this universal issue

So... I had my genius appointment today.Before the appointment, I played candy crush and changed the time as usual to get more lives. Had my battery percentage stuck at 38%. Charged the phone for 2 hours before the appointment. When I arrived at the store, I restarted the phone by pressing the home and power button and like magic, the percentage was at 100% Genius was like "what happened?" I told him, "I don't know, you tell me!" He had no choice but to swap my phone out. He wished me luck and here I am. First thing I did was download lirium lite and check to see if my "new" phone had the Samsung or TSMC chip. TSMC baby! My previous phone had the Samsun made chip.(check out chipgate on youtube. pretty funny) I played some more candy crush and changed the time again to the future and back and same glitch. Definitely a software glitch! Bottom line, I am happy to have the non samsung chip on my phone. Apple should not have done this...

Hey sfrydah,

Using lirium lite, which section tells you about the chip? Having the same problem and I also play candy crush.
