Iphone 6 odd battery behaviour/meter jumping up/down

rdb2012 · 22 Nov 2015 at 22:56

Hi all,

I am not sure how to explain this but i6 is acting very odd. The meter keeps jumping up and down. For example it was on 60% then all of the sudden it shows 29% and when i connect it to charge, it goes back to 60%. Sometimes it has enough charge and it turns itself off altogether and when i put on charge the % goes back to normal.

Anyone have experienced this. I have spoken to apple support online and they ran diagnostic tests, they said the battery is fine. I have tried restoring from back up and restoring as a new phone, didn't help.

Could it be some sort of a software bug?

Anyone?

Possible software issue, I recently had my phone just run out of battery at 20% when it was running fine before, although I am still on IOS8 jailbreak.

I have just replaced my battery but I would take it to Apple store instead and get them to check it out, they may swap it if faulty and under warranty as there was issues with batteries before I think

I can't seem to book appointment with apple anymore. It used to be so easy now no matter which store i choose, always unavailable.

I think its because all the appointments for the week are fully booked, They get booked quick.

This. They only release appointments one week in advance so you need to check at 00:01 in the morning to get an appointment - or as soon as you get up (but again they fill up very quickly)

Checked at 830 today, nothing. Will try midnight.

This is why I LOVE apple. Got it replaced with a new iPhone for free even though its out of the 1 year warranty

I'm on the latest 9.2 beta and my battery seems all over the place. Only thing I can see it being down to is the software or the battery has gone kamikaze.
