Battery level reading unreliable - Motorola Q Forum

Chickb · 10-19-2007, 09:22 PM

I am having a problem with my Q9M. The battery indicator on the main screen will show 1 bar of charge and the meter under power management will agree with a low reading. I can charge it for hours with the wall charger or car charger and the levels will not change. If I remove the battery and replace it, the levels come back to full. Not a big deal; but, annoying just the same. I really love this phone; but, this is a bother. Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks, in advance, for your help.

I completely agree that the battery is meter is unreliable. I haven't had the same problem as you, but I will have mine say 50% battery for a full a day and a half and then within an hour all of a sudden say it's completely dead. It's makes it hard for me to gauge when I need to put it on the charger.

Same here, the original poster's problem sounds like a bad device, better exchange it if it is persistent.

But the reading is totally unreliable, mine goes from full to 3 bars for several hours and then can die suddenly at 6PM
