Bug Description

I'm running Gnome 3.10 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

While I'm using battery the icon is there on the tray, when I plug AC not only
battery icon is replaced with a power menu icon, battery information is also
removed from the dropdown menu.

Issue is not related to hardware since I can use with Unity without any
problems.

Here is some info:

xxVostro-5470:~$ gsettings get com.canonical.indicator.power show-time
true
xxVostro-5470:~$ gsettings get com.canonical.indicator.power show-percentage
true
xxVostro-5470:~$ gsettings get com.canonical.indicator.power icon-policy
'present'

It is also worth noting that when I am on battery, i.e. when I can see the
battery indicator, if I change the settings of battery indicator via GUI,
output of icon-policy is changed but battery icon remains on the tray.

Referring to another bug that was reported on Gnome Bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696122) here is the requested
output:

xxVostro-5470:~$ gdbus introspect --session --dest

      readonly s Tooltip = 'Laptop battery 1 hour 30 minutes until charged

      readonly d Percentage = 28.0;
  };
  interface org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power.Screen {
    methods:
      StepUp(out u new_percentage);
      StepDown(out u new_percentage);
      GetPercentage(out u percentage);
      SetPercentage(in u percentage,
                    out u new_percentage);
    signals:
      Changed();
    properties:
  };
  interface org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power.Keyboard {
    methods:
      StepUp(out u new_percentage);
      StepDown(out u new_percentage);
      Toggle(out u new_percentage);
    signals:
    properties:
  };
};

Best.

Battery indicator dissapears when plugged in and is replaced with the power button,
doesn't happen on unity shell...

Not ideal, but adding https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/817/battery-status/ seems to at least give you a percentage.
