I read a statement from Nokia that said there would be a December update and a January update to address the battery life issues.
I have just got my Lumia, so am I right in saying we have actually received both of these? Mine is on the latest 11500.
Is another update known to be scheduled or is there no further info?

The 11500 update is the January update. Apparently, there will be another update with camera and audio fixes in the next few months...
I guess we have to wait for MWC. At least I hope that they reveal some information about future updates as the salesman that offered me the Lumia promised tethering in a future update.

I was afraid of that!
My battery life has gone to **** and I can't understand why. Diagnostics is uninstalled, I've been in background tasks and turned them all off. Everything else is the same.
It makes me laugh as well that the phone has poor battery life, but when you put it on charge the touchscreen goes dicky! So keeping it plugged into a power socket all the time isn't a great workaround.
Yeah, I've been experiencing random battery drains.
A few days ago, I went 2 days and 6 hours before needing to charge. But today, it dropped about 50% in 6 hours... Sometimes it draws tons of current when idle, sometimes it doesn't. I think it's a similar case with the Lumia 710 too. Give Nokia a few months to get used to WP7 and how it works and I'm sure we'll see some better firmwares over the rest of this year...
The battery fix broke my battery. Was great before.
Went from 24hrs+ to 14-16 hours.

Is it possible to roll back? If you did, would you then end up with other issues that are just as annoying - were there other critical fixes?
There's definitely something weird going on at a low level. Mine has been really bad the last few days. I reinstalled the diagnostics to check figures. It's improved today, only lost 10% since 8am this morning although I've barely used it, but at least that's reasonable - I stand a chance of getting through the day.
Is your time correct If you are living in the US and have your Date and time set for Automatic Date & time (use network-provided time)?
Mine is an hour off due to the Daylight Savings Time change. I have checked it off and manually set the time for now.
At times, the automatic date/time setting would glitch out on me. I also have it set to manual now.
No issues here, i'm on EST.
Could this be an issue with it not properly registering your location and therefore it's messing up your DST?
No problems in Central..
My Daylight Savings Time didn't initiate either. I'm in the Mountain time zone.
I had to manually set mine too. Central time
Eastern time here, no issue.
Also, it's Daylight Saving Time, not Savings.
I'm in Texas and mine changed itself with no issues

Hi
There is an ongoing thread about the new 2.3.7.0 Stratos firmware and whether its OK to update.
Can I ask if anyone who has updated has found that Continuous heart rate monitoring is now broken - symptoms are that resting heart rate is reported as '--', there are gaps in the data, and when you look at the back of the watch the heart rate LEDs only work in brief burst of about 10 seconds, the go off for a minute or two (completely different to continuous previous 2.3.5.0 behaviour)
Hopefully the images from the Amazfit app show the issue better than I can say in writing..
Heart rate images from 10th December (2.3.5.0) and 13th December (after update to 2.3.7.0) are in the attachements below this post.
Hmm, as I explained you in another thread. I'm pretty sure that continuous HRM is not really continuous. Just checked again and the LED on my Stratos is off right now even continuous hrm is on.
However, your graphs clearly show that in the latest release, continuous HRM is even less continuous. Definitely has unusual gaps.
With the oldest FW, mine looks like the first one you've posted.

Just double checked. After zooming, my continuous HRM looks like second one you've posted! Also has gaps. However, watch and the app are showing resting, min, max, average HR. For resting takes some time to show up, at least a day. And you did factory reset...

1. Known bug: currently Pace/Stratos do not record reading bellow a minimum value (I think it's 47bpm), Huami is already aware of this;
2. Obviously, continuous doesn't mean it measures heartbeat every second, first it needs about 15s to get just one reading, and then keeping the sensor on all the time would kill battery. IRIIC it reads every 1 or 2 minutes;
3. No resting rate: first check that your profile is correctly filled, then you must use the watch at night, while sleeping. If both are OK then you need to factory reset: first try with restoring old data (it usually doesn't fix anything), then without restoring old data after pairing again.

You are incorrect about a 47 BPM bug, I see min 43 BPM on December 14th, Min 43 BPM on December 15th, and Min 42 BPM today as I write this post. I saw readings below 47 before with 2.3.5.0. Maybe this broke in 2.3.6.0 / 1 which I did not use?
Secondly, continuous HR with 2.3.5.0 meant LEDs flashing on all the time. Almost every video I have seen on Youtube with Stratos reviews show LEDs on back always flashing.
This is how things always worked since September with 2.3.5.0 and it did not kill battery, only 2% overnight, or 5% during the day if no GPS or Bluetooth battery. It was always VERY accurate too, resting always match my Wahoo Tickr within 1 or 2 beats as you can see from Wahoo Tickr screenshot vs December 10th screenshot in 1st post with 2.3.5.0
See this Youtube video - everytime he turns over the watch, LEDs are always flashing and I can see from this setting he used Continuous HR to on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsxKihwRNV4
In my view always on LED the correct behavior and exactly as Fitbit Surge or Garmin Fenix 5 Plus which also have 24/7 LEDs in continuous mode. As a general point, Fitbit Surge and Garmin Fenix offer 5 to 7 day battery with proper continuous HR and Stratos with 2.3.5.0 also did this fine.
I've spent the last 3 days resetting / rebooting / repairing and this simply is not a fix - sorry! 2.3.7.0 is broken, at least on my watch and cannot be fixed my end. See HR track from yesterday (15th December)
As a very experienced user of this device with over 660 miles logged, I know how it worked since September 2018 with 2.3.5.0 and how it doesn't work now - this isn't something I am doing wrong.....

Sorry, but there is not much to be "very experienced" about. Regardless how many miles you have logged so far. With that logic I'm about double experienced than you
Anyway, I agree that they're messing up with FW, fixing one bug, making two more. Instead of wasting your energy here on xda forum to prove us something, turn to Amazfit instead. Open the ticket and prove to them. It's good for all of us. Actually, all of us should open the ticket for every bug, every problem we find.

The reason I put my usage is that it's a bit frustrating people saying reboot or repair - this is really like a IT support cliche telling you to turn it on and off again! I know how this works and its just wasting time with a firmware defect.
I have reported all the bugs I have found in Stratos since September, including uploading log reports from the phone directly from WIFI, filling reports with Amazfit and have had no response ever from them. Just an auto-reply - never any human follow up.

That's odd. I have couple of threads with them (more than 10 ). Sometimes they are not very responsive but in couple of days, they usually answer. Of course, first couple of answers are generic but if you are persistent you may get trough even to the dev team.

Hi, yes that is link - this is what I get back - always this, nothing more...
Dear cumbrianrunner
Thank you for contacting us. This is an automated response confirming the receipt of your request, and it is being reviewed by our support team.
Please note, Amazfit Support is available Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. PT. All support inquiries submitted outside of normal operating hours will require additional time for a response.
I think that link may be for people in the USA only - I am in England, and one of the questions they ask is about sales channels. I suspect non-US reponses to sales channel questions get filed in the bin too be honest
Well, try with US channel then
For me continues heart rate is working on 2.3.7.0. The lights should flash every minute for around 10s. It is measuring in one minute intervals except during activities. On Apple or Suunto continues means 10 minutes. On Garmin each second. What I recognized is that my resting HR is now relatively higher than before. But now it is winter and I am doing much less cardio training than in summer. So it could be true. Resting HR still recognizes resting days, hard workouts, illness or drinking alcohol correctly.

I may do that
Well I have another bug - I am about to go out for a run, my usual stretching exercises puts my HR at about 60-65 BPM. Stratos with 2.3.7.0 is going nuts with continuous readings - spiking at 105 BPM, drop back to 78 BPM is next read cycle, then back to 96 BPM on other cycle.
Wahoo Tickr and Fitbit Surge have me around 60-65 BPM which is correct.
I could report this, but I suspect this would go into the 'too hard to fix' bin...! But will try pretending I am in the USA today
I can't say much about the stratos continuous heartbeat, but my Pace (FW 2.8.1.0) regularly shows a rate of 180 - 200 when I easily can make a conversation....

So maybe 2.3.7.0 fixed the low HR minimum (I am not sure because I do not use this feature normally, but I know it existed for 2.3.6.0/1)... I have just enabled continuous HR for the last few hours, and I am sure the green leds aren't on always. I also got the graph showing the resting rate.
guys, throw all that stuff at me, i'll try to prioritize it again.

The same crap has been going on with the Pace for the past year. I was in touch with support for months and got a constant reply that it'll be fixed on the next ROM. This reply was repeated for months, until the warranty ran out, with me supplying the developers with data, screenshots and uploads directly from the watch. I chucked mine and put it down to buying cheap ****, and useless support. A friend who still has patience tells me that they still haven't fixed the HR issue.
Have fun with support, I hope you have better luck with the Stratos.
I am currently on day 8 since last full charge.
AOD off.
Lift wrist to display off.
Total 5 days' gym workout comprises 43 sessions (with total 614 mins/5864 calories/60km run & walk).
Watch faces synced at least 30~40 times.
HR at 1-minute interval. Sleep assistant only enabled after day 5.
My GTR-2e is currently showing 54%. By calculation, I would expect it to last 17 days per single charge. It is much better than I earlier expected. Amazfit has not exaggerated on its claim that the watch can last for 24 days on typical use.
Hi, I wanted to ask if you know as I'm interested also to get it but searching online i couldn't find anything.
Does the GTR2e has rowing workout ?
I saw that it received an updated that increased the total supported workouts to 90 but i can't find anywhere a list with the supported workouts.
Thanks
I just checked. There is no rowing workout. My watch is updated.
Both indoor or outdoor rowing not available.

oh, thats a bummer.
Thank you for checking it.
Can you confirm that GTR2e can show AOD if lift to wake is active?
