Ya.. as topic said.. my battery is stuck at 10%, but its actually full. I can use it for over 4 hours playing videos and it still plays. I plug it in, it still says 10% after 5 hours later.

Anyone have that? or know how to fix that? .. or is this a early warning my battery is dying?

Call AppleCare and ask them what to do, it sounds like you should get a replacement. :(

my phone is unlocked though.. would that cause a problem? Anyways, I turned off the phone and turned it back on and it seems the battery meter fixed itself. Its reading 80% right now (because I had watched an hour video and played some music for a while now)
 
You could try restoring the software to see if it fixes the problem then re-unlock it, if that's possible. Good luck.
 
Just a glitch

This happens every now and then. I don't know why, but if you turn the phone off and then on again it will show the correct charge. Apple will tell you to restore the phone (not as a backup)... and then to try to restore it from another computer because your computer might be corrupt.

Thats what they told me to do.
 
Reset

i had the same problem but i fixed it by going to settings general and reset and i reset all settings and it took a minute and then it worked.
