Notice that the battery level was reported at 95% at 7:24am. However, two minutes late, the iPad 2 reported 98% battery level despite the fact that I had not plugged it in to any power source to recharge the battery. So, what happened?<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nBattery level reports are only slightly less mystical than cellular signal reports (the ones customers see, not the detailed field test mode information). And, it in a way, it is a bit more complex because batteries slowly lose the ability to attain a maximum charge over time.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve noticed my iOS devices fail to report a 100% charge after being given, for example, overnight to be recharged. Or, it sometimes seems the battery level is a bit off after use during the day. I&#8217;ve found that a soft-reset usually results in the battery level report being bumped up a bit. In the case of doing this after an overnight charge, it is generally bumped up to 100%. I do not know whether or not this modified charge level report is accurate, But, if it makes you feel better to see 100% after an overnight charge, you might want to consider a soft reset. I&#8217;ve found soft resets fixes a number of iOS problems. Shades of Ctrl-Alt-Del for Microsoft Windows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take a look at the two screen segment captures from my iPad 2 space two minutes apart.
