hello, as anyone tryed how is the battery life on a full charge - on airplane mode?
can we get near a week of usage watch/chrono etc?
thank you
Bluetooth consumes but a fraction of the neergy the watch needs - most of it is needed for display, memory, processor... I don't think you'll see a much improved life in offline mode - maybe just because you won't be getting notifications, but that would still save just a small amount of energy the watch usually needs.
I tested at night with screen Off and airplane mode. It drain 9% in 8hours.
And that is about the same drop I have leaving the watch overnight: connected just the "Always On" on off. As Zvieratko says, very little impact, only the screen is relevant to fast or slow battery consumption.
The battery life sounds disappointing on the LG G Watch R. I really like the watch and want to get it but I want to be able to stretch the battery life to a week so I only need to recharge it once a week.
Right now I'm using Samsung Gear Fit in offline mode, Display Activation on manual, monitoring my steps, only connecting via BT to my Note 4 before bed each night to sync. With its puny 210mAh (vs Watch R's 410mAh) I am able to make it last 7-8days. With BT on all the time, maybe 4 days.
In airplane mode with the display off I get about 1% usage every hour, so I guess it will last about 4 days on a single charge, however I see no point in this mode. I want to be able to look at it at any time so display is always on, and I want to see my notifications, so it's never in airplane mode. It lasts between 1.5 and 2 days like this.
Since I take it off before I go bed anyway I don't see a problem. The charging cradle is nice, it's not like I need to plug a lead into it. Now that would annoy me.
Of course it could be a problem if you are camping - sorry, can't tell you the time, my watch only lasts a day on a full charge.

But now we have a lot of USB (tiny) power bank we can charge several time your watch, so you can have it on your bag

Or considering my watch only has a 400mA battery, it could quite possibly recharge of a solar cell stuck to my back pack

Hi!
I've searched the forum but didn't find a straight answer. What's your battery life?
Mine, having no apps, few notifications, black face and always on get just 13h. And that's frustrating. My unit it's just three day's old and if this is the expected performance I will return it at once. What do you think?
Thanks!
I'm getting over 2 full days easy. But I also have enough ambient mode turned off so the screen is completely off, unless I get a notification or am using it.

Just a update before I put my watch on the charger.
2PM on the 19th to 8:35PM on the 21st
I usually get 2-3 days with moderate usage. Always-on screen enabled seems to be about the same as when it is disabled for me so I leave it enabled now. However, my watch screen does shut off from 0000-0650 hrs everyday. If you aren't playing with your watch a lot then 13 hours seems unreasonable.
I just checked mine : 72% remaining after 13 hours. Always on enabled - used lightly (notifications and some small utilities). I'm charging it every evening though .. just to have it 100% in the morning.
Thanks!
After a watch reboot it seems I'm getting a couple of days of battery life. I imagine I had some mysterious app depleting my battery. So I'm keeping the watch.
I have also experienced poor performance of my LG G Watch R. It will drop from 100% to 0% charge in 4-6 hours. When I look at the AndroidWear log, it shows about 15-30% power drop over various applications. I am then questioning where the other 70% power drop has gone.
This is extremely frustrating. When the Bluetooth is off on my phone, the power drop is as expected - a few percent every hour.
Anybody else have this issue? Could it be my phone? I have a Galaxy Note 3 on the Verizon network.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Cheers,
B.D.
Yes, I also had the issue today, already for the 2nd time in the past 2 weeks. Something happens and the battery starts depleting quickly ...
Any idea how can I see which apps have caused this rapid battery drain? Someone mentioned android log ...

I'm getting 2-3 hours of battery life. I've had the watch for less than 24 hours. I realize once an update is done battery life isnt optimal for a day or two on Android but this is nuts. I have screen always off and haven't installed any apps. I'm gonna give it to Monday and If I'm still seeing this drain, It's going back to Google.

I read recently that there is a bug in the battery meter when watch is shipped. It will show 100% then drop very quickly for first few days. I've had mine nearly two weeks and I get through a shift at work (8hrs) with 60%+ remaining. I work nights so I keep brightness set at 1 which probably helps. Hope it gets better after a few cycles.
Around 3 days ago, my phone has turned from around at least 6 hrs of SoT to around 2-3, even while only leaving it mostly in my pocket. This happened after i factory resetted my phone, for some odd reason. When the CPU usage was usually below 50%, this time it's AT LEAST 70%, often reaching to 100% for no reason. The process "Android System" on the battery usage screen takes up around 40% of my battery drain. I had google assistant at the time, so i thought it was the problem.
I factory resetted my phone again yesterday, and it fixed the problem temporarily. Assistant became now on tap again, and Android system only used up around 8%. But the battery drain just came again when i woke up today.
Does anyone know what CPU process might have been the cause to this problem? Or else I'll just factory reset I guess, but i'm scared it'll happen again and again.
Note: My smartwatch, root, substratum, and KLWP aren't the cause, since last week when I used these things my CPU usage was fine.

Help pls ;-; phone is really unusable for long periods of time
Edit: Got CPU usage down to around 10% most of the time using this APUS Booster app I found, looks shady and bloatware-y as **** but it works i guess. Have to do it everytime i restart phone though
reflash the rom.
I think the problem is with pocket mode \ proximity detection.
Try this experiment:
Cover prox sensor with one palm and try to unlock using the fingerprint scanner. If pocket mode is on, nothing will happen. Phone won't unlock.
Now shift palm covering the prox sensor slightly away and repeat above. At some distance you will be able to unlock phone.
My hypothesis is that if one keeps phone facing the body, pocket mode may not get activated allowing the fingerprint sensor to keep sensing one's body (capacitive) and the phone won't unlock but every movement will keep on making the FP scanner work heating and draining battery.
This did not happen in 7.0. But 7.1.1 update seems to reduced sensitivity of proximity sensor.
Workaround: keep phone in pocket with screen facing away from ones body.
Hope this works.
The proximity sensor works well enough except* it's clearly constantly draining your battery
I'd just turn it off
I don't have 7.1.1 yet so IDK about how the updates have changed things. It works well on 7.0. but clearly that's going to burn a lot more resources than it's worth
Hi everyone, currently I'm a bit frustated by the battery issue that I have on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5(SM-N9208)

is it normal to have device idle and android os > screen ?
With that screenshot, my SOT is only 1hour 20mins
is there any apps to track down what is draining the battery ?
And I think that the percentage is shown is wrong?
Best regards,
Alex Yamin
I think you're right in saying that the idle shouldn't be that high, maybe an app you recently downloaded?
How long has it been this way?
My battery isn't that great either and sometimes even Pandora or Spotify drain my battery faster

When I'm at work, I don't play any music/games, mostly only whatsapp,telegram,instagram, and a few calls
I think it's already been half a year, been a bit frustating to bring powerbank anytime you go
I also tried to install GSAM battery monitor, saying my battery usage is 15.5% per hour, pretty insane but it is

Whoa... That's a lot. I use YouTube a bit, Spotify, stitcher, WhatsApp, messenger, maybe Gmail sometimes i use a gear S2 and Bluetooth headphones which is why I drain my battery so quick, when I don't use them it lasts me all day... but when I do have them on I always have to charge my phone at lunch or i won't make it thru the work day.
I'll post a pic before I start charging my phone...

hello everyone, here is my problem - in last couple of week i'm having really big battery problems (to the point i'm thinking of smashing my phone to the ground ) I take my P9 of the charger and it says it is at 100%, after only few min it drops to about 90%, and when i open some app (facebook atc) it freezes and when i try to turn it on again it says 0% battery!! when i hook it up on charger it takes 20 mins to charge to 1%, and when i turn it on again it says anywhere between 40% and 100%!!! Freezing most commonly appears when i turn on my camera and take a picture, it snaps then freezes. Tried with the factory reset it didn't help.
Please anybody!!!
Most likely the battery has worn out. Is it still under warranty?
Same here, sometimes camera apps freeze and then i will reboot it. After reboot, phone shows 5% power and then force itself into shutdown. The battery actually may not empty as told by phone, when i start charging, it shows more than 5% and phone actually have juice to run longer.

Sounds like a battery replacement to me. Have to tried installing AccuBattery or anything similar to check the battery health?

It's not the battery causing this fault

I have replaced the battery in my P9 and it still gets a power drain when the camera is operated. This usually occurs in low light environments. If I immediately turn the phone back on it starts up with maybe 20% battery, which then drops 1% a second and gets hot. This is with a brand new battery fitted. I conclude there is a glitch with updated software. Hopefully Huawei will read these posts and correct with future updates.

Not the battery
Try removing your sd memory card. I think a malfunctioning sd card was causing issue of battery drain during camera use. I can't explain the full science behind this, but my p9 phone has been fine since I removed the sd
I have phone for two day everything is ok except battery draining fast and phone getting hot when I watch some YouTube or just check something on the website or chatting with friends.
Anyone have same issue?! I have china version one.
Mine does not heat up. I occasionally play cod for maybe 1hr with no issues.
Certainly no heating up under normal use.
Battery - it will take a week to learn your usage and bed in.
I'm on 2 weeks in. 7.5 hrs sot over a 14hr work day. Exactly what I think a 4500mah 888 device should do.
I have my phone for 4 days now.
Heating up and battery drain...im just using email + messenger + facebook + Line + Whatsapp. Few calls during the day on Skype...
During night time battery goes down 1% per 1hr = so approximately 8%

Sounds appy. Something running all the time?
Over a normal 12hr work day what sot etc do you get? This is an easy 7.5hr sot over a full day device.
I get that with everything on full except brightness usually at 50pc inside .
Can't comment on dropping overnight, mine sits on the wireless charger.

Yes...almost all applications on this phone. Even they are disabled from background if I open battery usage details I have for example netflix or YT running for 18hrs in the background and for example 20-30min in the foreground.
