    Battery Gauge Problems

    Hey everyone I have been having issues with my battery/battery gauge. The battery gauge jumps from full power to half to empty and then back up to full. I know the battery is full because I recently charged it - any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Thanks.

    Unusual. Unless, your player is plugged in, then charging is indicating.
    I don't think I have enough information to help.
    If you have recently upgraded firmware, then maybe you need another.
    Maybe if you give more specific details someone could offer suggestions that would help.
    Player, firmware, whether-or-not situation occurred after upgrade, etc.
    Hope this helps.
    If not, then please accept a "Hello."

    Well the battery life indicator in the top right-hand portion of the screen will start out full or nearly full but will suddenly start dropping to half and then low/empty and then bounce back up. Unfortunately sometimes when it drops down to empty it will shut off and I need to turn it on again. This problem is quite annoying.

    I don't know the reason why this is happening but it has been going on for a week or so. I have already tried recharing my Meizu as well as holding the enter button down to reset it and nothing seems to work.

    I have not downloaded any new firmware. Anyone else have this problem or have had this problem and know how to fix it? Thanks.

    Let the battery drain and charge it fully. Also, read the care guide for Lithium Batteries.

    Can't wait to play with the Meizu MX!

    I did as Err0r suggested and I am still having the same problem with the battery life indicator.

    I notice it especially flutuates when I am skipping through songs. Not sure what that means...

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix? Thanks.

    Try doing it another few times (discharging fully and charging), if it's still screwed your battery's at fault. Send it in for repair?

    I guess my battery is at fault since I have been putting up with this problem for months now. Any idea how to send my player/battery in for repairs? Costs? Thanks.
