So I just got Mine today and after I charged it I set it up and went on my way to work when after about 2 hours every seemed fine was getting notifications and calls added some music it from my phone. And then it vibrated and I lookd down and it was off. And now will not power on. I cant believe that the battery could have drained that fast in a little over 2 hours. I dont have the charger with me at work to make sure. But is there anyway you guys think it could have drained that fast. Is there away to maybe try and reset it.

My Touch Pro has been hooked up to a charger for several hours now, and the battery still is at like 60% (which it has been around ever since I got it earlier today).. Something is wrong here, and the device gets really hot too!
Combine that with a qwerty keyboard that stops responding all the time, I think I have a faulty device, but If you can prove me otherwise.. please try!
Restart the device and check the battery level again. Strange thing happened to me for the first time tonight after two weeks of usage. I set my Pro on charge before I went to sleep. Six hours later it showed me that the battery was only 82% full. Checked the cable and left it for another hour. 87%. Decided to reset and battery was showed as absolutelly full.
Thanks!
Not sure what I did, but its working again!
This happened to me last night, phone has been on charge for 10 hours and now only just charged! Any ideas why this hapened?
My Z3 is fairly new to me, just got it on Friday. So far love the phone. Only problem is with charging... and battery life.
So far I'm not getting anywhere close to advertised battery life. I hardly used it at all yesterday and took it off charge around 11:00am from 100% and when I put it on charge at 1:00am it was at 23%. I had no phone calls, played a game for about 20 minutes, and did some facebook messaging in the afternoon for a little bit. Didn't watch no movies, didn't stream any media... very odd. It was paired with my Moto 360 all day however... could that kill the battery that fast? Stamina mode was not activated.
The biggest issue however has been charging. I turned the phone OFF when I put it on charge at 1:00am and this morning when I turned it on it still read 23%. When I plugged the charger in before I went down for bed the phone lit up saying it was connected and receiving power and the light turned orange. Same thing happened Friday night when I put it on charge, except for the phone was ON, and it dropped from 30% to 20% overnight while in airplane mode.
I used two different chargers both nights.
During the day the charger I used Friday night seemed to work fine as it charged it up from 8:00am till 11:00am Saturday morning. It's a Blackberry Playbook charger, so it puts out a lot more juice (don't have it next to me so don't know the spec), and it charged up my tablet just fine. The cable I used to charge it overnight last night is currently charging it as I type this. So why won't it charge overnight?
I had the same issue on my old Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo, but I resolved switching charger and plug.
Did you try changing plug?
Yes I've used three different cables
Might be a long shot, but check that your WiFi isn't on all the time, either when screen off and sleep mode, or always scanning and sending...WiFi advanced settings...that can cause rapid drain..also Sony products are very particular in charge mode, and will only charge fully and properly if using Sony chargers...best fit is to use charger supplied...had same issue with my S4, and Nexus 7..hope this helps

Hey buddy, I have had the EXACT same problem.
I have watched tons of reviews for this phone on YouTube and users feedback on how great battery life is, and I have owned this phone for a week but I was struggling to make it to 4 1/2 hours of on screen time and the phone would take forever to charge. But just tonight, like literally a couple of hours ago, I noticed my phone charging was odd. Phone was charging till 99% then it would drop to 97% while still charging then go up to 98% then back down to 97% then back up to a 100% in all taking about 30 min. Now, I can tell, battery life seems to be much better. Not sure if the phone was calibrating itself but I have been using the phone heavily since I took it off charge nearly 3 hours ago and I have more than an hour of screen time with 86% left. Before I would be around 73% probably. So give it some time, try using the phone till it dies completely then recharge it and repeat the process 3-4 times, I think the battery will calibrate itself.
Edit: Also, I went to settings, power management and app power consumption and noticed that a couple of apps that I barely use are the ones using the most background data so I uninstalled them as well. But give it time, the phone will eventually go to normal and give you that insane battery life. Also use the oem USB cable and wall plug, I have been using a cheap 3rd party one.

Why don't you try without pairing with the Moto 360. Check the battery life without pairing to your smartwatch for a day. We can at least exclude the culprit. IF its the phone, then get a replacement done.
yes, I'm going all day today without having the Moto 360 paired up. already after two hours off charge and hardly any on screen time and it's down to 85%. Not even my iphone 5s drained that fast and usually I was out of power by lunch on that thing (one of the reasons I grabbed the Z3)
I charged it off the factory charger last night and with the phone off and that seemed to work, it charged up nicely this morning.
We will see what happens.... seems like Lifelog draws a lot of power according to the battery stat meter, gonna uninstall that and see if that helps.
so the phone died off at 8:30 or so last night to 0%. from about 3:30-7:00 the phone was untouched, not paired to my watch, and wifi/bluetooth were turned off. It dropped from about 50% to 30% during that time. From about 8:00-8:30 I played a game to just kill it, when I started playing battery was at 21%
I had stamina mode on from 9:00am till 7:00pm yesterday too. This seems very strange to kill that fast.
Even this morning, took it off the charger, confirmed 100% charge, did my morning routine (without touching the phone) and even after 30min it dropped to 90% already.
There has to be something robbing power...
Lifelog is off. BBM is on. stamina mode only allows BBM and push email through. I made sure BeWeather is setup to only refresh on screen unlock.
the good news is... charging is working!
Just to make sure it isn't BBM i would suggest you don't allow it for stamina mode. What other apps have you installed? They might be draining too..

I'll shut BBM off for today and see what happens.
EDIT: you also asked what other apps I have installed...

Yesterday, 2.5hr screen on time, had the screen dimness at aprox 20% all day, no phone calls, no gaming, no bluetooth aside from from my 20min commute to and from work, wifi at home from 6:00-7:30. got from 6:50am till 8:30pm until the phone died. Was on stamina mode.
Took it off the charger this morning and in 20 minutes lost 10%.
I'm ordering a replacement phone as this seems very high.
I'm seeing people use their phone pretty close to max settings without stamina mode in the battery thread I was reading yesterday (and I will probably take this conversation there), and they are getting much longer life it seems than I am.
I've been having issues on my Bell Canada Z3 as well (I've had it for 3 weeks). Battery Stats was blaming it on GMail (25%). I wiped GMail's data and cache today, so I'm hoping that will help. I also noticed a couple of times this week that my phone was running very slow and starting to get hot. In that scenario /usr/sdcard seemed to be the culprit. Got out of that by unmounting and remounting the sdcard. Seems really unstable in general, I hope Lollipop fixes things.
Received my #Note5 last wed. Brand new out the box. When i got it the battery was at 5%. No problem. I turned it off until i got home. Good home. Charged it. I noticed after an hour of "fast charging" the battery wad at 93%. I fell asleep, woke up 2 hours later. Battery was still at 93%. I unplug and decided to let it discharge so i can try again.
Second charge, the battery gets to 100%, but then quickly drains down to 92%. (No exaggeration, the battery went down to 92% in 5 minutes). This happens again on the 3rd charge. Abs since then i only get about 4 to 5 hours of battery life with regular use. (Nothing excessive) it even dies quick on standby and on power save mode. Did i hey a bad Note? I've read reviews about the battery being pretty good, but I'm just not seeing it. Wondering if i should take it back to sprint. I'd it worth it?
Exchange the device. Won't hurt to try.
Please take it to a Sprint service and Repair store and have them look at it. This does not sound like the correct behavior. Thanks!
I did. The guy said it's something internally wrong. So I'll be getting a new one. ?
I am glad that worked out!
Smh. Same problem. New note, had it about 3 weeks now, battery still giving me problems. Im not doing anything crazy or putting any strain on the battery and thus is whats happening. Is it just me or what? Seems like im the only one having an issue with the battery life. Smh

Try this before taking it back.
plug your phone to the charger and wait until it shows 100% then.. Dial *#0228# unplug your phone and hit quick start, you may see a popup warning , just hit OK, unlock your phone and you will realize your phone have been lying to you
Plug it again and repeat until level 100% matches with your battery icon showing 100%, you may not need it, or maybe need to do it 2 or 3 times
I have not had any issues on my note 5 but it worked great on my note 3.
Ok so update.. monday when i got home i decided i wasnt going to fast charge my battery, instead use the regular charger adapter. Betsy is at 100% tried the *#0228# said the battery was at 100%. Went through regular use and the battery ended up last about 12 hours. (Minus a few hours downtime for me being sleep ill give it a good 8 hours) ok cool. So after ut got down to about 20-15% i charged it again with the regular adapter. This time (with sleep time added) i got about 16 hours on the battery. Ok cool. Another regular charge, 16 hours but i charged it here and there in between. Today around 4 i decided yo fast charge it. 100% around 5 o'clock. Its now 3:16am my time and im at 29% 9 and half hours on the battery... i also noticed in the beginning on fast charge the battery died a lot faster. So i think what ill do is charge it with the regular adapter for now on unless I'm in a situation where i have no choice but to fast charge like if im at work or something. All is well now. ???

Hi, I installed the S3 update over the air to my Korean S2 a couple of days ago. Everything seems fine except for issues with the battery. I Can take the watch of the charger after an overnight charge and wear it all day, powering it off before i go to bed in the evening. When i shut it down the charge can be over 50% but when i power it back on in the morning the charge is just over 10%. If i leave it powered on but not on charge the percentage will increase over the next couple of hours back to just under 50%. The problem is i can never be sure what the true state of charge is, so i am unsure whether it will last the day.
Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it?
I have problem with battery. Battery is discharging really fast.
That's weird. My battery life seems pretty good. My watch has been off the charger for 5 hrs and I'm still at 94%

Yeah, it looks like that first 2-3 charging cycles were not good, but today I have really good battery life. ... So my problem is solved.
On the old firmware I could wear it 16 hours and put it back on the charger with over 60% left. Since the update I am down to 20% in four hours. I've done 2 hard and one soft reset to no avail. The battery thing on the phone app says its my watchface and I should use a dark one but I am. This, frankly, is a show stopper. I can't recharge 2 or 3 times a day. Any idea how to reinstall the R734XXU2DPG1 firmware? That worked.
Apparently a couple of recharges fixes the battery issue. Don't know why but it does. So far at least.
Hi
I just updated my gear s2 classic yesterday with the new ota, my battery doesn't even last for 2 hours now, before it gave me 1_1.5 days. In battery usage it shows 22% usage by contacts and 19% watchface even though I'm using the stock with no customization and even the background is same as default for menus.
I've denied the permission for gear plug in for contacts even then the drain is too fast.
How can we fix this, any ideas.
Dear members,
I bought a gear S3 frontier about half a year ago. I bought it from a second hand shop. I have been using it since and it was all good. Unfortunately few weeks ago strange things started. Usually I switched off during the night to save some battery. One of the morning when I switched on it started to lag. When I turned up my wrist the screen stood black. I thought that is unusual. After that I was scrolling through the menu and I noticed that the watch lags. Which never happened before. I rebooted it and in the first minute it was sort of okay but after it started to lag again alplus the battery was draining faster.
Strangely if I put to charge when it is turned in and I charge it to 80-100 percent after it works perfectly. No lag and no draining and the battery hold for about 2 days. This afternoon just to try I was in 56% and I switched off and on again. It drained to 0% in an hour. I put to charge an after charging 20% it was working perfectly again. I tried around 12% but was laggy but after 20 was perfect.
I have tried factory reset. I tried installing an older tÃzen. The current one is 4.0.0.7. I am using it with Xiaomi phone. I tried with Samsung as well but there was no major difference.
Can anyone kindly help me what to do? I really love this watch and I want it to work like before.
Thanks in advance,
Attila
