It's in the VERY top right corner of the LCD (when held in Portrait mode, ie, not widescreen)...it's always there. It's the picture of the battery. When that picture has a lightning bolt in the middle, it's charging, and when it has a picture of a plug in the middle, it's fully charged.I've never seen this plug icon you guys are talking about.. although my green bar is 100%. Anyone have a pic of it?
Ahhh ok.. so when I disconnect it the plug goes away? Maybe thats why I never saw it.. just never noticed it before I unplugged it.DMcGrew,
This is only when it is connected to a power source, either the USB Power supply or a computer that is on. You having a green bar indicates that the iPhone is using the battery because it is not connected to anything.
If you connect it to something to charge it, you will see either a lightning bolt and when it is done, a sideways plug within the battery symbol.
does anyone know if we need to wait for the battery to be as close to being fully discharged and then charging it like some other phones? I am at about 40% (my guesstimate) and want to know if someone has the answer to this.Ahhh ok.. so when I disconnect it the plug goes away?

Is there any way to see percent charged? I am posting from my iPhone yaydoes anyone know if we need to wait for the battery to be as close to being fully discharged and then charging it like some other phones? I am at about 40% (my guesstimate) and want to know if someone has the answer to this.
BTW, love this thing!
yup I did too. I just noticed it. I think everyone's batteries should be fine. I just started paying attention because on another forum someone stated that they never saw the green battery icon charge "to the tip" and I never thought anything of it. I just assumed it was because the "energy" of a battery is contained in the body of the battery..not the tip of it; which is probably why Apple made the icon just as it is.how long has it been charging? i had to let mine sit for about an hour at nearly a full charge for it to change to a plug icon
SO, I've been unable to get my iPhone to indicate that it has been fully charged. Plugged it in for over 10 hours (more than once), while it remains plugged in, there appears no "plug" in any battery icons. And I can see that the big battery icon is just shy of being completely full of greenness. No usage stats either (merely reads "will display usage stats once fully charged").DMcGrew,
