Stratos and IOS12 - battery drain - Amazfit

Anyone notice additionnal battery drain after upgrading their Iphone to IOS12? Or is it the latest Amazfit app update? Since at least two weeks, my watch will retain its charge barely 3 days when before I could get at least 5 days...

I think it is the latest Amazfit update. I use mine just as a Smart watch (no fitness stuff). Was getting 8 days before the update, now I'll get about 4.
Glad these things are tested....

2.8.4.0 update draining battery

Does anyone have battery drainage problems after updating to 2.8.4.0 stock firmware?

No, I get about 4 days with 3 apps providing notifications, continuous heart rate, little GPS usage, and with the auto light on option turned off.

Yup, that's what I used to get, about ~20% a day.

Yes, that's what I used to get, with the same options.
Maybe this was a coincidence with a malfunction of the charger. Some time ago, the charger contacts were very unstable and that may have damaged the battery.
I bought a new charger and now I'm trying to "re-educate" the battery, doing full chargings and full dischargings. I think I'm getting something, now I get 1.5 days on a full charge, with the same options.
Do you think I'm on the right direction? Do you have any tips on this?
Thanks!
I also have the same issue after the 2.8.4.0 update. Battery dont last for more than 8 hours

[Q] GPS fix and ridiculously huge battery drain on GTR 47MM

It's been almost a week I changed my Verge with a brand new 47mm Amazfit GTR.
I was so happy to have something with long lasting battery like a Bip (which I still have), but more elegant than it or a Verge.
But now comes the problems, the battery consumption is 20% per day and I can't fix the GPS.
Now someone told it's because the AGPS in the SmartWatch is stuck and I should force updating the AGPS from the phone.
Honestly I don't know, but I'm really disappointed.
Can you guys help me?
Have you tried resetting? When I set mine up it was stuck missing and update of one if the libs and the app wouldn't resume the update.
Try factory reset

Amazfit GTR 47mm battery drain
Hi, I received Amazfit GTR week ago and since then I noticed extremely short battery life. I'm not using any gps, just notifications and battery last barely 5 days losing about 20% per day. Also I tried shutting down the watch with around 70% of battery and after 24 hours I tried to switch it on and the battery was completely empty! I tried factory reset, didn't help. I really like the watch but this is not ok since manufacturer stated battery life up to 24 days. Could it be ROM or battery damage?
Same with me. Losing more than 10 percent a day (24h) without GPS, heart rate, notifications. Reset didn't help. Hopefully just a Firmware issue.
The last 24h even needed 24 percent of battery...

I'm more and more convinced that the battery is damaged or some other hardware problem related to battery.
If the battery drains fast after a couple of factory resets and full charges (let the watch charging for about 45min more after it shows 100%) using default the configuration, then probably it is damaged. I would claim warranty ASAP...
Amazfit Support told me to make a Support Ticket in the amazfit app, so they get the watch log. And Also i should claim warranty. They said if you turn off Bluetooth, use the Stock watch face and activate do not disturbe the Power consumption should He around 2 percent in 24h (starting with 100 percent).
Mine lost so far 4 percent in only 8h.
I raised ticket to gearbest for replacement or refund since battery life was horrible, 30% in 12h usage, notifications on only! Today they offered me a free exchange or full refund. I chose free exchange of watch.
I also had problems with battery drain. I tested it with a charge meter, so can tell a full charge would put about 400mah in the battery.
I did it between a couple of factory resets...
The problem is it's discharing about 15-20% per 24h with no use, just time and some notifications. In nitght it's loosing 6% resting unused, with saver mode.
I think it's not a hardware problem but a firmware problem (for global model users) because I don't think such a lot of watches could be shipped broken...
Hope Huami realease and update in a couple of days or I will also have to return mine.....

I doubt it's a firmware issue since battery draining happens even when the watch is powered off. I lost 70% battery in 24h with watch completely powered off! Returned to gearbest yesterday and waiting for free replacement.
Best regards.

I haven't noticed that....I will test it tonight. It could be a hardware fault then.
In the other hand, I had similar problems with a Tablet (not Xiaomi); with 2 identical tablets, with different roms, one drains battery when powered off and the other don't. So, in some devices, the "power off" function is relative, it could be a firmware failure at the end, maybe not disabling some hardware, like the GPS module.
Please told us if you get similar draining when you got new one.

Yeah, could be. I found thread on reddit with same problems, people complaining battery not lasting as intended. On the other hand, others reported excellent battery life with global same firmware.
We'll see after receiving new one.
Best regards.

Hi, my stratos is having very bad battery life where some nights it will drop over 50 percent. Is anyone having this problem too? And does auto brightness for back light drains battery?
Hi my friends, this same happened to me. My watch during day and workout lose about 10-14% battery but at night it drops about 80%. At night I have switched on night and fly mode, only sleep tracking and heart rate was on... I am Goni g to send it back.
If you using 3rd party application it i eat your watch battery life.

Amazfit GTS 2 battery life

Hello,
new product came out, and that is Amazfit GTS 2. Anyone already have the watch? Can 1 week battery life still be achieved if all features are turned on?
Thank you for the answers, I really appreciate it.

This guy is a long term supporter of GTS and GTS2. He praised a lot for the old GTS and its amazing battery
But in his review of GTS2, after using for 10 ten days, he said the battery is really PATHETIC, only last like 2 days.

I saw this video but this is the only one that is saying the battery life is 2 days...so I'm looking for more users that can verify this before I buy it...
Thank you anyway
I found two more review on battery test for you.
https://www.igeekphone.com/amazfit-gtr-2-in-depth-review-2/
In terms of battery life, according to the official statement, Huami Amazfit GTS 2 has a battery life of up to 7 days in daily use mode. I turned on the active heart rate detection + sleep assisted detection mode, turned on the sleep breathing quality test, and used the watch according to my own habits. The power consumption was 29% for 28 hours and 12 minutes, and the battery life was about four days. If you follow the official daily use mode instructions, the battery life will be further extended, and 7 days does not seem to be a problem.

What's honestly most impressive of all is that the developer's battery estimates for these smartwatches don't appear to be overblown, a rare thing for smartwatches or tech in general. After a week of use, including using the always-on feature sporadically, tracking my sleep cycles, and going for several workouts with GPS activated, the battery only recently dropped below 50%. Keep in mind that it would drain faster if I had continuous heart rate / SPO2 tracking enabled, but for most users, the GTR 2 could easily last you up to two weeks per charge. For comparison, the GTS 2 has a 7-day battery estimate.
Hope it helps, bro.
Personally, i'm using GTS and see no reason for the upgrade to GTS2. If you haven't bought GTS before, then maybe it's worth it.
No me llega las notificaciones del WhatsApp,
Alguien le llega?
Ya ta solucionado.
I have the gts2. I've had it about a week. Battery with usual use is about 4 days. I have wrist flip detection on high and get about 3 days. Overall I really like the watch. Waiting for Alexa update to come in the future.
I have the GTS 2 since the day it launched in India. Love everything about the watch except battery life.
Battery drain is too much. Hardly getting 2 days. I find it absurd to first purchase smartwatch for its features and then keeping most of them off to get battery life.
It is possible to turn WiFi off and bluetooth on?
Hello, I have it and only two days of battery life. I have a week with him and the clock is not bad at all. Taking advantage of the thread, you know how I can activate the extra functions of the watch.
I bought a few days ago GTR 2, and all is almost perfect except for the battery... firstly from 48% to 10% within 24h, . After fully charged, 3 days and 50% has gonewith one, 1h training per day without GPS.
I like multitasking, wifi (fast watch faces synchro), but AOD drains battery a lot I decided to disable AOD, sleep tracking, switched heart rate to 10min. interval and after 24h battery decreased from 56% to 44%, while I know that people with GTR 1 have 1% per day with almost the same settings...
so I'm really disappointed with such battery life...
Do you have any advices?
@Redmundek, my girlfriend has the same problem. I bought GTS2 for her and GTR2 for me and with the same settings I get ±10 days of battery life and she gets ±3! Did you find any solution?
Have you checked the settings for detection method? Try different option and see:
- automatic heart detection - for me it is Ok
- Sleep assistant - may be the root of possible more draining
- Automatic heart detection & sleep assistant - potentialy draining battery a lot (as far as I remember)
Then other options below: activity detection, heart rate alert, all-day stress monitoring, sleep breathing quality.. I have ticked most of them after different tests. No issue with battery draining (I guess)
I'm using a GTR2 but I remember having seen a big change in the battery draining here when I tested different settings.
Good luck.
Hi, I amended sleep monitoring and stress detection and the battery is quite good, even with AOD from 7:00 till 22:00 (which I prefer) it can works c.a. 5-6 days
