I wonder, if you experienced the same. I got the Gear Fit manager und Gear Fit firmware update 2 days ago. Since that, you can literary watch the battery life go down extremely fast. With a full loaded battery my Gear Fit works now hardly 2 days! That is really bad,
I already rebooted it 2x but no change. I also recognized, that it wakes up much more often since this update was installed. Has anyone off you the same experience?
Hello,
i have also the last firmware, but my battery is good , it last 4-5 days+. I use only message and call notification, music control, and no wake up option + black screen
Can you specifically say the firmware version?
My device is fine, charge every two days.
I don't have any problem with battery on NE5 (3-4 days).

Hello there. I have a Galaxy S2 i9100 for almost 2 years now, and it's been working properly since until yesterday.
As I just bought a Galaxy S4, I am now using the i9100 with a voice-only SIM card (from work), so data connection is disabled (I have Juice Defender managing its wi-fi, since I only use it at home at night). During the day, every connection stays disconnected, with the phone only being used for some work calls. That way, the phone generally ends the day with over 70% battery.
But yesterday, all of a sudden, in the beginning of the evening it "cried" about having 15% battery. I found it quite weird, as I had barely used the phone the whole day long. Barely an hour after, when I got home, it had only 1% when I went to plug it on the charger.
It spent the night charging, and now this morning, after barely 1h20 on the battery without any real usage the phone was already at 89%, while the S4 was still at 99%.
I took some screenshots of the Android built-in battery usage page (which I forgot to look at yesterday), and I see compared to the S4, Android System is draining quite a lot (24% on the i9100 x 2% on the i9505). The same happens to Android OS (25% on the i9100 x 13% on the i9505). On the other hand, the standby is smaller on the i9100 (9% x 25% on the i9505).
I did absolutely nothing different with the phone yesterday. In fact, as it's Sunday and I do not receive phone calls on Sundays, I barely used it the whole day long, so I cannot understand why all of a sudden it began draining battery like this.
Any help on narrowing down the possibilities would be welcome.
Thanks!!!
If you're using the original battery that came with the phone/one you bought around that time, I'd be buying a new one.
Indeed I am using the original battery (although I have a replacement one, which I'll test tomorrow).
And even though you might be right on acquiring a new one, it doesn't explain why all of a sudden it had such a huge drop on performance from one day to the other (and not something that happened day after day).
The first couple days saw a boost in battery life for me. I always have the screen on, and where I used to see about 22 hrs, I was trending closer to 30. Now, it is only lasting about 16. Not sure what gives...has anyone else noticed this?
Before the update I could get about a day and a half if I forgot to charge. With the update I can't go a whole day!!! I haven't changed anything, just installed the OTA update and ran with it. No face changes, no new apps, nada.

My battery actually got worse too although I can still easily make it through a day. But that's it. I use stock watch face and actually removed extra apps. Only have mini launcher, wear battery, and this lock screen app that I use once in a while. All of which have been updated to 5.0 it seems.
Besides battery live I really don't like the new notifications and the random hangouts messages missing. The screen turning off by it self sometimes. I wish I could figure out how to go back to 4.4.
My battery life has also gotten extremely terrible. I upgraded about a week ago to 5.0.1 and just yesterday I noticed that my G watch was not lasting like before. I took my watch off the charger at 7am and it died at 2:15pm. That’s pretty horrible. When I checked the watch at 12pm I was still around 67% so it’s hard to believe that the battery dropped so fast in that amount of time. I’ve already did a factory reset this morning but when I get home I’m going to flash the rom again; after it charges.
This watch was rock solid on 4.4.2. It’s odd that this issue just started days after I upgraded.
I too have been having this issue. I have only been up for an hour and it is already at 92%. I am resetting my device now and I will post back again today or tomorrow if it better or not.
Hi Guys, Having the same problem. battery life was very solid after the update , but in the past days, it's very bad - took it off the charger today at 9AM, and by 6PM it's on 23%.
I did a factory reset, removed Facer and Watchmaker, and nothing helped.
Yeah so I am already at 20% at 2:30 PM EST. That is terrible.... I did a factory Reset and re-synced my programs (Wear Mini Launcher is the only thing of significance). Still facing the same problem. Any other ideas?
Is google aware of this problem? any product page for the G watch in their forum?
Try Gohma 2.2 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch/development/rom-gohma-2-0-12-15-2014-t2974052
It has 1.5-2 day battery life easy, and other bonuses.
I am not sure if Google or LG know about the problem. I couldn't find a forum page on LGs website. I will look some more and will look into loading that Rom as well. Thanks!
Same here.
I acualy bought the watch it got all the updates so i use if for the first day. Horible. 12h screen off. Tilt to turn screen on "off" i use watchmaker.
It realy lasted from 9h to21h... Wtf. I didnt even get any notifications... Kinde of wierd
Try 24H with a stock face
I restored my Nexus 5 to factory default (it was laggy with no connection to Wear), restored my watch and now battery is fairly good with Ambient Mode on and stock watchface - 10 hours of usage, 74%.
update: after 2 days, it went back to being horrible. less than 12 hours with ambient mode on.
Are you getting a ton of notifications? I don't understand 12H battery life at all. I've had some LONG days and I have yet to outlast my watch...
Hi,
I have posted a similar question on the T-Mobile Note 3 page, but since the Gear S has similar problems, I figured I post here as well.
Ever since getting the Lollipop update on my unrooted T-Mobile Note 3, both the Note 3 and the Gear S have had battery life issues. I never had a problem before, the Gear S would last at least until 10pm every day, now it usually dies around 3 or 4 pm., without any change in behavior on my part.
The Gear S update failed the first time, but now I have the latest version installed on the Gear without changes in battery life.
On the Note 3 I can check battery usage for the phone and it appears that most days, bluetooth appears to be a top battery drain. I don't recall seeing that on top before the lollipop update, but could be wrong.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...
I also found same battery drain issue on my Galaxy Note3 and Gear 1 connection.
Since I had updated to Lollipop, both Gear and Note3 never go to deep sleep mode and keep awake status, and they consume their battery much than before. It is quite obvious that there are some defects on their BT connection. If I disconnect them, Note3 can goes to deep sleep mode and battery life of note3 becomes similar with Kitkat.
So what did you do? Is there a solution? I am eligible for an upgrade, but was hoping to wait until the note 5 comes out....
My Note 2 (unlocked international v) is still on Kitkat, but something (I suspect the last Gear Mgr update) is draining my Gear S battery like crazy as well, and the Gear S gets unbearably hot. Remotely connected is causing the same.
At the moment, I only connect the Gear S to synch S Health data every few days, but use the Gear s in stand-alone mode for the time being.
With BT off, and Data and Location Services on at all times, it now lasts much longer than it ever did when BT connected to my Note.
I am only writing this in case it's not Lollipop but your Gear Mgr version itself.
I use both with T-mo sim cards, but the Hear S is the (unlocked) ATT version.
Hi everybody,
since a few weeks I am using RRemix 5.7.4 on my RM Note 2 Prime. I was quite surprised and satisfied regarding the overall performance and battery consumption. Everything went fine.
Before I used MUI Global Stable 9.6.3.0 but battery was drained during less than 1 day. I used 2 batteries - the original from 5-6 years ago and a newer one. Do not know whether both are still fine.
So I baught a new battery for the phone. But since a few days phone behaviour got weird. Battery status was either never loaded up to 100%, or stayed at 1% for more than half a day with normal usage (messangers, calls, some apps) etc. etc. ... This happened with one of the older batteries and RRemix 5.7.4. So I installed the freshly bought battery. But latest after then (maybe even shortly before) the phone quite reliably crashes when a set up a call and connection is established. Furthermore battery status was shown as >40% but I could not restart the phone until I plugged it into charging cable. This I could reproduce repeatedly! Now I am really confused not knowing whether the phone itself might have problems (charging/battery watch electronic) or the ROM.
How can I determine which one is not working?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Bye
Hello all, it's been a while since I've posted but this is quite a serious issue and could some guidance. A few weeks ago, I finally updated my Galaxy S9+ to Android 10 after being on 8.0 for so long and it's been a decent update so far. I had gripes with SoT not being the greatest but it was tolerable. Last night, I received an update for my phone and I installed it. Didn't think too much of it and continued on. I charged from my phone to ~87% today, used it lightly while working. By the end of my shift, I had 50% left.
I left the house to go for a 81 minute walk with 47%. I usually don't worry about having enough juice to make it back home but I experienced the worst battery drain I've had with this device so far. During my 90 min walk I:
listened to Spotify using my Galaxy Buds (one ended up dying towards the end because I forgot to charge them)
Checked Instagram occasionally and responded to some texts
Took 2 pics in Snapchat
Had a short video call on Messenger
It was right after the video call I noticed my battery was at 17%, which I thought was very strange. I don't leave apps running in the background for long and I have a habit of closing them out when not actively using them and I noticed the battery kept on draining despite there being no apps open besides Spotify.
Turned on the medium power saving and within a few minutes, I was at 5%. Decided to kill everything and pit my device on max power saving mode for the first time since I've owned the device. By the time I was home, my phone was at 1%.
I'm really baffled at how the battery drained at an exponential rate. I'm a medium user and I've had this phone since late 2018. Never leave location services on, never used AOD, and used the FHD display instead of QHD along with dark mode.
I'm hoping today was just an outlier as I want to keep this phone for another 2 years, but if this happens on a consistent basis I'm gonna have to start searching for a new device.
In the meantime, I have charged my phone to a 100% and disconnected the phone and observed the following:
Within 2 minutes of disconnecting, battery went from 100 - 98%. Not a good sign considering it was just idling
The battery continue to drain every other minute and I could see the battery go down on each unlock
Wiped the cache partition and I went from 93 to 94% for a brief moment prior to the phone going back to the same pattern
This is very worrisome to me as I don't believe the phone will last until midnight, I'm wondering if it's possible to roll back to the previous update.
TL;DR - After the update yesterday, the battery drained at an exponential rate despite light to medium usage
Also, here's some screenshots of my battery usage

I know this isn't the answer you are looking for, but all I can do is suggest changing the battery and doing a full, stock firmware flash via Odin to completely wipe your phone.
I recently replaced my phone's battery and did flash the firmware and my battery is really hanging in there. My battery was also 2 years old and before, I would get about 3h SOT when I play a game (and I do a lot). Now, I'm getting 5h SOT no problem with about 2-3h gaming included, so I really do suggest a battery change. I'm thinking you could be able to squeeze another 1 or 2 years into this amazing phone.

How hard was it to remove the battery? I bought one but unfortunately also a toolkit which seems to be only for iphone, what screw size has the s9+?
