Battery Drain on Device - LG G Watch

Hey everyone, i've been using the G-watch for 2 days now on my htc one m8, running ARHD 21 (4.4.4) but the thing is that i can barely get 7 hours out of the phone if the watch is connected to BT, if i disconnect it i get 14 to 15 hours easy, is some one else having these issues? could an android wear app be causing these issues?
Thank you

Have you updated it? What apps are you running?

I have no issues. Running ARHD 11.1
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

I also wanted to see if anyone out there has any suggestions to minimize the battery impact on the connected phone. I have a LG G3 phone and I could leave it overnight and only loose about 1%/hr battery (this on wi-fi, but with bluetooth and NFC turned on). Now that I have an LG G watch paired with the phone, it looses about 4%/hr overnight. It's not the end of the world because the G3 battery is pretty large, but clearly there is a huge difference in battery performance.
Has anyone created a tasker profile that might limit disconnect the phone while the watch is charging or anything else like that that might help?
Thanks!

I just received mine yesterday and experienced the same thing last night. Turned Bluetooth off just to make sure it is a phone thing and not a g watch thing

Try the greenify app

I use Greenify. Anything special that you are doing?
Obviously the Wear App must keep the phone awake a lot more when there is a Wear device connected. As mentioned, my phone's battery usage with a wear device connected is many times worse than when there is no device connected. Specifically, I'd love to be able to disconnect the watch from the phone when the watch is charging (on the charging cradle). It obviously is not on my wrist and so there is no benefit to having it connected to the phone when it is charging (I usually charge it overnight). I could likely go 2 days with my G3 if the wear device didn't force the phone to use approx 4% battery each hour. Overnight that is 25-30% battery loss when I use to only get about a 4% total battery loss overnight prior to having a Wear device connected.

Hi,
I have the same query.
I got my G Watch a couple of days ago, and the watch itself will last the day no problem, but it is definitely having an impact on my phone (M7 running ViperROM). I don't think the phone battery is going down as a direct result of the bluetooth connection with the watch, but rather that I have wifi and/or mobile data on the whole time to make the watch function properly. Usually I use the power saving option on the phone to shut down data connection when it goes to sleep, but that makes the watch pretty useless. So I'm going from a phone that could easily do 30-36 hours on a charge before I had the watch (primarily because data would turn off when I wasn't using it), to a phone that is lasting 15/16 hours with the watch connected and data on all the time.
Is there a way to toggle wifi and mobile data directly from the watch? I know the wear mini launcher might do this for wifi, but what about mobile data?
Or is there a way using something like AutomateIT or tasker to turn on data as required? I know that apps like Lean Droid work fine on the phone for turning on data for a few minutes at whatever interval you want, and that is fine for making sure things like email notifications come through regularly. But.... what if my data is off on the phone and I want to do a voice search or send a text from the watch? Is there a way to turn on data without having to take the phone out (and in the process defeating the purpose of the convenience of the watch?)
Apologies if this is too long to read and maybe slightly off topic, but this was the closest thread I could fine related to the issue.

Initially, I had horrible battery drainage on my phone, but now things have improved significantly. Losing about 1% per hour. Removing apps that constantly communicate with the phone such as wear internet browser helped the most.

So is this a normal wake lock time? 18m in ten hours. Beyond that my battery just feels way less on my phone than normal. By hours less. And I haven't installed anything fancy yet beyond the app drawer I just put on. I didn't receive but maybe 30 notifications I think in this time frame.
