Hi, I recently bought the Samsung gear 2 and everywhere I see it says 2-3 days battery life but mine only gets around 8 or 9 hours if I completely leave it alone for the day. Am I missing something here? is there some setting or something? Im starting to think it has a defective battery. Its already at 90% after only being unplugged for 1 hour. Also, no apps will install from the market?!? Any help would be cool, thanks everyone.
Sounds faulty to me. Mine lasts 3-4 days with reasonable use.

I see other people talking about apps not installing on the device either so that may be a bug from Samsung, but the battery life is HORRIBLE. If no one has a potential solution I might have to return it to amazon...

I just received mine Monday afternoon. Charged it to full overnight and ran it through its paces yesterday. Turned on the sleep monitor before getting into bed. When I woke up this morning, it was at 72% remaining. I could probably go 3 days without charge without incident.

I got mine thru tmobile, I had no problem ordering it. Looks like they have enough. Anyways try draining battery and charging to 100. 2 full cycles to see if it helps.

I had the same troubles when I tried to upgrade gear manager to the latest one ( failing as I have an Xperia z1 phone), while restoring the previous working one, a few services were still the latest ( I did not uninstalled them before reinstall the older). Watch battery life was crap.
I then uninstalled all gear apk on the phone and cleanly reinstalled gear manager 03... ( the one working for us with no samsung phone), my watch got reset and voilà ! Battery life of 2-3 days is back... I suspect one service was constantly pulling info from the watch but I don't know which one

Could you link me to that gear manager by chance?
I went to bed at 100% when I turned on the sleep monitor. Woke up after a 9 hour sleep and my Gear 2 was at 82%. I'm on the latest firmware and using an LG G2 phone.
I'm on the latest version and getting 3-5 days depending on use. If I use it a fair amount I will drop about 25% at the end of a full day. I have a GS5 though, maybe it's related to the phone its synced to?
I used mine for 3 days with about a combined 100 text and emails per day and on the 3rd night it was at 20%. I'm very happy with the battery life on mine.

That's the manager in every non samsung thread (gear...1_2)
Well, I no longer think its the watch that's the problem.... I shut off its Bluetooth and disconnected from my note 2 and after 8 hrs I only lost 10 percent battery...WTH is the deal here.. Anyone have any fixes for that issue? I couldn't find the gear manager everyone is talking about either.
Which android version are you running?

If you have the correct version of gear manager from the apps store installed I'd say it's an issue with 4.3 on the note2. The official 4.4.2 was just release on SamMobile which is the version the S5 is running so that may fix your problem mate.

Yes. Same everything. Tried calibrating battery. Everything that drains is off. Is it a faulty unit?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
There its always a chance
If your phone last 8-10 hrs then no you can improve by playing around. If it last like 5 hrs and you have calibrated and have gone through a couple bat cycles then maybe there is an issue.
Chances are, you need to play around

Hello there,
I noticed that my battery really doesn't last long. It's been 100% full and now, 4 1/2 hours later, there are only 6% left. The weird thing about that is that I did not really used it during that time. WLAN has been turned on over that time, display was really dark, no backlight notifications or anything. Has anyone any idea how to fix this? (LG P940)

can you give more info? info like- which android, how many mah (ex: 2000,1000). give that and i may be able to help you,...
Would be really awesome! Android version is 4.2.2, battery has about 1500mah (think it's 1540) and I'm using the cyanogenmod kernel. Do you need any more information?

Thats not really much of a battery for the hardware,.. how old is it? Is this a recent problem, and when did you flash to CyanogenMod ?
To me it sounds like something is draining the battery pretty hard. Is the Wi-fi signal stable? Any processes under Apps>All, using excessive memory?
To me it sounds like you are having wifi/gps/bluetooth on all time, and if not, you should close ALL apps next time. Some running apps on your background could even drown your battery from 100% to 0% in less than 2 hours. Big apps or games cause the most trouble
Greetings,

If this phone/battery is more than one and half year old, this could be just battery dying, like mine (LG P920, 2 years old, 1500mAh) is dying right now.
It can't last more than 6 hours lately, so i bought a new one.
A li-ion battery (standard models) just can handle frome 300 to 500 charging cycles, thus if tou charge your phone every day, battery life has about 18 months lifetime.
After, it just dies, more or less slowly.
Thank you all so far.
Bought the phone 1/2 year ago so this can't really be the problem. The battery has never been great but got worse about a month ago. I flashed it about 2 weeks ago and this didn't seem to influence the battery.
I always keep GPS and Bluetooth turned off (only turning GPS on when I go running, but I never noticed that this influences the battery either) and Wi-fi is pretty stable. As I heard that Wi-fi is really bad for the battery I tried turning it off as much as possible and so far it seems a bit better.
I also took a look at how much memory the apps use and saw that Facebook, Kingsoft Office and Whatsapp really need a lot. I think I will uninstall Facebook and KS Office then and see if this helps.

I presume you bought it new ("and sealed")?
Maps used to be a big problem for me running in the background. See which apps use Maps.
Yep, I got it completely new.
Okay, I'll check that, thanks.

Also problem with battery
I had a similar problem, my battery got "sick" after I used my phone as a GPS during 2 or 3 days. the phone was quit warm during the navigation. After that The battery life was reduced from around a day to 9-10 hours. In addition when battery is around 20%, the phone just shut down due low-battery and as soon I turn it on, as soon it turns off!
The solution was to buy a new battery, but that is odd that using the phone as GPS navigator damages the battery so badly!
Btw, my phone is a HTC desire w/ Android 4.2
yah now i may be able to help you, download the antutu battery saver app from google (it requires root) it is a really good app and helped he last
my battery from 3 hrs to 7 1/2 hrs. if you don't have root access, then it is a prob. if you don't have, tell me and i will give you another solution which
does not require root

I have been so impressed with the battery life on the N5 however the last 2 weeks my battery is dropping 50% in less than 4 hours. If I reboot my phone it fixes this and drops about 10% - 15% in 4 hours.
I thought it must be an app I am opening that is constantly running in the background but can't see anything obvious.
Anybody got any suggestions or advice? I have stopped almost all apps and uninstalled the majority. I don't want to restore factory defaults if I can help it.
Have you checked Gsam? Mine sometimes does that, and the culprit normally is my kernel keeping the phone awake for whatever reason, and a reboot solves it. Not sure why though

Get betterbatterystats and see what your wake locks are.
I have gsam but not really sure what to look for?

I'm not familiar with that. Does it tell you what your partial and kernel wake locks are?
If you go to App Usage it will give you a breakdown of what apps are using your battery

I have this exact same problem. I normally have to reboot my phone when I disconnect from the wireless charger. I don't think that's always the cause tho. I would love to install batterbatterystats but you need root am I'm really trying to not go down that road anymore.

I think It's the dialer. I had this problem in 4.1.1 where it would constantly be looking at my address book in exchange.
In my case, Gsam points to the Kernel being the issue. I'm trying out a different kernel, and haven't experienced the same issue.

My wife and I have Gear 2's. I have the Gear 2. She has the Gear 2 Neo. Neither of us have had any freezing.
We have had them a week and have not rebooted them once. Just curious though, how long did you run it before it froze? I know my cellphones typically get flaky after a period of time if I don't reboot them periodically..
Never never again, 2nd watch and still freezes and this one now only lasts 10.5 hours on full charge in standby... I'm going to go get my money back, what a joke.

I have had my gear 2 neo for 2 weeks I got a phone call today didn't answer it and like 20 min later when I went to check my watch for messages or the time my screen wouldn't work now I can't do anything my OS Is froze when I try and hold down the power button nothing happens soo I can't even turn the device off any suggestions? Gonna take back to ATT tomorrow and see of they can give me a new one or something
Update I pushed and held the power home button and held it for about 6 seconds and it rebooted itself and seems to be working fine for now
Has anyone solved this problem with gear 2 r380?
Ok so the gear 2 . I noticed the battery meter. Doesn't update . Is 100% says is 100 % all the time . .what would be the fix . ?any one got the same problem
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I can't say I've noticed any weird battery glitches. First few things I could suggest is start by shutting down/restarting the watch, just to see if that fixes it. Next couple things to test would be to let the watch go on as long as possible to do a full charge cycle a couple of times. Maybe someone else has another suggestion. Beyond those, if it became an issue I would assume you could always claim warranty and get it replaced, as that's not how a battery meter should work...
I have had the watch since day one and been like that . It's starting to bother me coz all of a sudden after 3 days it would just die . When I plug it in it would charge from zero percent. I just did a couple of restarts . Factory reset same issue . I guess I'm going to best buy when they open up
