Why the color of battery icon is yellow on my iPhone?


Most of the iPhone user may encounter with this problem. Since whenever your battery goes below 20 %, a pop-up menu appears and asks for activating "Low Power Mode". At first, you find this proposal logical and activate "Low Power Mode".

Figure: Low Battery pop-up window appears

When this pop-up window appeared, color of the battery icon is  red. If you choose Low Power Mode on the screen, then color of the battery icon will be yellow. 


The scenario goes like this:
1- Battery level goes below 20% and a pop-up appears asking for "Low Power Mode"
2- You activate "Low Power Mode"
3- You plug in your phone to charge it.
4- You are in hurry or you do not have time and you plug out your phone before 80 % level.
5- After a while you recognized that color of battery icon is yellow!!! "OMG there is a problem with my battery".

Since color red means "WARNING", color yellow means "CAUTION" and color white means "ADVISORY" in general use, you will be naturally cautious about this yellow sign. But, don't worry. You are at the right place for the solution. Yellow battery icon is not a bug/failure but a feature of iOS.


  • Open "Settings" App by tapping on it.

  • Tap on "Battery"


  • Switch off "Low Power Mode".
As you see in the below picture, Low Power Mode is ON and color of the batter icon is YELLOW.




Switch off Low Power Mode, then you will see that color of battery icon is no more yellow as shown in below picture.



In the scenario mentioned early in this post, if you wouldn't perform 4th step (do not plug out before battery level is 80 %) you would have never seen the yellow battery icon. Since, after 80% battery level, Low Power Mode is automatically switched off by iOS. For more information on Apple's own page, please click here. 

NOTE: iOS 10.1.1 is used throughout the steps of this post.

How to Fill out a Cheque?

In this post, I will demonstrate how to fill out a cheque properly. You can have a cheque book either from your bank or any store. If you find these two suggestions expensive, you could also design and print out your own cheque. In Figure 1, a sample cheque is displayed and in Figure 2, some regions of the sample cheque are highlighted. Figure 1: Sample unfilled cheque. Figure 2: Some regions are highlighted in sample cheque. 1- Name and Address of Payer: Name and  address of the person who is the owner of this cheque and is filling out the cheque should be written in this region. 2- Date: For any official document, date is a mandatory field and hence you should write current date in this region. 3- Payee Name: Payee could be either a person or an organization (Store, Restaurant, Company, School etc.) You should write the name of the payee here explicitly. 4- Amount of Payment (Numeric): Exact amount of the payment should ...

ESP8266 Mini Project: GPIO with Button and LEDs

In this post, I'll be sharing a mini project of mine, again using ESP 8266 NodeMCU chip and MicroPython. This project mainly focuses on GPIO pins and methods for this chip. LEDs will be my output and I'll use a button as an Input. My input button will be used as a Start/Stop command for ongoing operation. Ongoing operation will be blinking of LEDs with varying frequency. I'll implement this project in two different methods: Using Asynchronous Polling Using Interrupt Request Setting Up Circuitry GPIO 16, GPIO 5, GPIO 4, GPIO 0, GPIO 2, GPIO 14 pins will be configured as Output pins being pin_D0, pin_D1, pin_D2, pin_D3, pin_D4, pin_D5 respectively. GPIO 12 will be configured as Input pin and will be connected to a small button circuitry. Button simply behaves as a switch and default position is OPEN (no contact between side pins). By default, logic LOW (0) is applied to input pin, when button is pressed (switch is closed) logic HIGH...
