Your iPhone could be showing you the wrong battery percentage

The bug is caused by changing the time either manually or by traveling to different time zones.

APPLE IS INVESTIGATING a bug that causes the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus to display the incorrect battery percentage.

The bug causes the percentage to stay the same, leaving affected users to assume their smartphones have more charge than is actually the case.

The cause, according to Apple’s support documents, is down to users either updating the time manually or changing time zones when traveling.

If this is the case with your device, the way to fix it is to first restart your iPhone. Then go into Settings > General > Date & Time and turn ‘Set Automatically’ on. If it is already on and the same problem applies, you will have to contact Apple Support.

In the meantime, Apple is working on two updates for iOS. The minor update iOS 9.2.1 is expected to arrive soon – usually it comes with security updates and fixes to certain bugs like the one listed above – while the major update iOS 9.3 was recently released on beta.

iOS 9.3 will come with a few additions including a late night reading mode, which changes the temperature of the screen so it’s easier on a user’s eyes during nighttime.

That feature caught attention as a few months ago, a similar app named F.lux offered the same thing through sideloading. Apple later requested they take it down as it violated its Developer Program Agreement.

    GREAT IDEA.

    Once they’re aware all these projects in Ireland will come in 100% OVER budget and late

    And who is going to do the work?
    We don’t have enough builders to build desperately needed houses as it is without syphoning off more of them for retrofitting.
    I’m not suggesting climate change isn’t real but unfortunately homelessness is a greater crisis at the moment.
    All grants for retrofitting should be paused for at least a decade.

    @P.J. Nolan: you are on here every day claiming there isn’t builders. I’ve had to set you straight about 5 times now. Also people who are retrofitting insulation will be completely different to the ones building housing, it’s not done by insulation companies it’s done by the dry lining or carpentry crews and the externals by either the brick layers or cladding crews. And even then it’s usually the labourers or apprentices doing it

    @Martin Mongan:
    And as I have asked you before, if there is no shortage why do SF say it will at least 10 years to sort out the housing crisis?
    They are right, it will, at least.

    @P.J. Nolan: because it takes time to build something….? Do you think we just click our fingers and houses pop up? Do you understand the processes you have to go through to even just buy the land, nevermind the design and planning stage. Ground works alone can take more then a year depending on the size

    @Martin Mongan: well we have 100k of Ukrainians and at least 12k/ year of IPAS applicants all on the scratcher. Maybe if we trained them they might build a few.

    They couldn’t give a flying retrofit about the homeless or those with homes for that matter.Those that rely on fossil fuel will continue to be taxed and penalised.

    How do you retrofit a tent for homeless people who can’t afford a roof over their heads because rental prices are too high or people who look at an empty fridge for the same reason?

    The dynamics of society are volatile as ideologues chase conceptual rainbows of climate change modelling and act out solutions that have nothing to do with planetary climate. 

    The emergence of the maga crowd in the USA is no accident in reaction to an equally vacuous and pretentious group that dominates an educational, cultural and social-political clique.

    26 years is plenty of time for this plan to go nowhere, as happens with a lot of these grandiose, long-term schemes. That means, of course, that large sums of money will inevitably change hands in the meantime, with several fortunes no doubt being made. Most of those involved will have long retired or passed away by 2050. Ciarán Cuffe will be 87. There’ll be no one left around to explain how the plan just sort of petered out with very little to show for it. That’s assuming there’s still an EU in 26 years, and I would have some doubts in that regard. Times and attitudes change, and no treaty lasts forever…

    The biggest issue is energy generation. Increase the use of nuclear power and close down coal generation. This is the main cause of emissions. Once our energy generation is carbon neutral then run the transport system of it and over half emmisons will dissappear. But no. It will be taxes and restrictions on individuals instead .
