Full Charge?

[AlexRed]

I've got the 16gb 3gs and it's a week old today. I charge it every night and get average usage from the battery, but it has never said the battery is 100%.

When I go into settings/general/usage the 'time sine last full charge' is always blank, and a note under it says 'Usage times will be shown after iphone is fully charged'.

How do I 'Fully Charge' the phone then?

Thanks for any help!

I'd probably let it go right down to the 10% warning then give it a full charge, it might not know what its extents are so can't tell you.

Try calibrating the battery (let it die and then charge to 100%).

Thanks, but I've let it run down completely, twice, already. Any other suggestions?

Perhaps a restore in DFU mode?

1. I have my new 3GS and it can be charged to 100%, I belive the 16Gb is the same.

2. Try to install a free app to measure battery charge.

3. Reset to factory settings and then restore your contents once more. Full reset and restore.

Sorry to sound dumb, but what's DFU mode?

Also, have you ever rebooted (press the home and sleep buttons until the phone turns off)?
