On my Samsung Series 5 ultrabook the battery isn't giving me the right percent.

When it is plugged in the battery indicator does not move, it stays the same. Any other panel apps that could display the battery more accurately?

Any help guys? Running 12.10

It is better to post separate questions instead of combining your questions into one. That way, it helps the people answering your question and also others hunting for at least one of your questions. Thanks! – vasa1 Jan 15 at 17:47

Are you running a bluetooth mouse? A second battery indicator was added for the mouse, so you may be seeing the mouse battery. It does seem to interfere with the mouse movement (bug 1098959) when it gets priority and displays the time remaining. – ubfan1 Jan 15 at 18:26
Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Please post the output of upower -d run from a terminal. Edit your question with this and possible other information. Thanks. – gertvdijk Jan 15 at 18:26
Does the output of upower reflect what you see in the applet? And does this show the correct information? – gertvdijk Jan 15 at 19:24

This question should instead be filed as a bug report, and as such is off-topic, thanks! Instructions on filing a bug report are here. – Flimm Jan 16 at 14:18
