I recently noticed that watch faces has been killing my battery the last 2 days with no increased usage on my part. The battery info within the Gear app says Watch Faces has consumed 30% of my battery while everything else is in the single digits. I left the house for work this morning at 55% and am now at 7% just 8 hours later with light usage! BTW, I'm using one of the seemingly lowest impact faces "Gear Dashboard"
That had happened to me today.Changed from "Gear Dashboard" to "Tronica" by Pluto.. I lost 20% in 2 hours without doing anything.Sometimes it gets caught in an applications or faces. I happened with "Style for notification Wear S2". Already,after installing a faces or applications, giving restart the clock.For any safety.

I use a digital pro z5 face. All was fine until I restarted the watch. I don't remember why I did it. After that the watch started to discharge 7-8% per hour. It was insane cause in almost 24 hours the watch lost like 18% but after the restart it went crazy. I don't know if the face was causing the trouble or the gear application.
I will test the watch for few more days. Today it got an update. I will see after this how it works else I will return it to the shop. I have time till the mid of January to do it no metter what and get fully refunded.

Having Same Issue
I was playing around with a few different watchfaces and then picked one. Overnight I see that even though the watch was in airplane mode it lost about 6 -7% per hour! What is going on. The battery usage says that watchface used 57% even though the watch is off. If it happens again it's going back
There have also several updates recently, like shealth and other apps. Don't rule them out.

Sure, the updates may affect usage but the battery use still shows that watchfaces THE major contributor with 57% use overnight. That was with airplane mode on??? Don't understand that at all particularly phone was also in airplane mode and both on my desk.
Well, dump the watchface and use another one
I have the same problem. No matter which watchface i choose, its always at the top of the list of battery drainer with over 30%.
With AOD, the watchface will be a major battery drainer, but the total hourly discharge rate should not be more than 4% per hour unless there's a constant activity, like streaming audio, running GPS, or logging an exercise.
Reports under normal usage seem to average ~2-3% per hour with BT, and a little higher for LTE.

Doesn't matter which one - they all behave the same (built-in or downloaded). Lot's of other reports with similar issues - watchface is at top of list!
Hi, i have always Watch faces at First, but my Watch runs about 3-4 days

Might have to get my money back as well, switched face to Chronograph, been connected via Bluetooth all morning and it lost 20% in 2 hours!! Plus, every reboot I have to re-enable numbersync!? Work it the F out Samsung/AT&T; its a watch not a space shuttle!
No problem here, bt and location on, aod off, drain 1-2% per hour 3 tops when I'm stressing it
Btw, look my health @23%
Ik super healthy, haha
Anyway, have you tried a soft reset?
Why is your s-health @23%? Normally I got 10.000 steps a day
Did you do any additional sports?
With a soft reset, you mean a restart? Yes have I done, think about a factory reset......
I guess my health is ok. Yours is so low cause its relative to the extreme watch percentage.
I use the watchface "All in one" for about 3 weeks and yesterday after 8 hours suddenly the battery was empty. No idea why!
I wonder why Samsung can't test the software before releasing it to the market. It's annoying thinking of their Note 7 failure. They never learn their lesson! I'm still in doubt to return it or not.

Hi guys.
I was searching our forum and I couldn't find a thread like that.
At first I was unsure for the battery life as I received the phone and I have charged it like twice a day but you know. New phone and would like to have a fun with it and tested. After a month I still think a battery life isn't perfect but with my use it's satisfies me a lot.
Here is my stats after a day. If I turn on a stamina mode and turn off data transmision and wifi, battery should last another half a day or even longer.

As you can see I do not have a stamina mode on. I have no idea why that fecking phone app is the most used app. I don't call much. Like 5 calls a day that last for minute or two isn't much. Maybe that because I have data transmision on ? Even if I'm at home and using wifi.
How's your battery life look's like ?

The battery life is directly dependent on the user.
A light/moderate user will have battery backup up-to two days. While an Heavy user wouldn't.
So after all the battery of the device is nice but not upto the mark acc to me
My battery some time lasts for 2 days with Root applications like Greenify/Trickster Mod etc
I had already made a battery management thread a long time ago. This thread doesn't make any sense.

Greenify is very awsome...
also (for what reason ever) it saves a lot battery if you set a screenoff profile in setcpu with low frequency...
and when you avoid closing apps from ram or cache it also saves battery because cpu doesnt need to start apps again.
There is even the theory that setting performance governor saves battery because all actions are finished the fastest possible and so the phone returns to sleep earlier.

my battery lasts a day and has mostly about 30% after, and even now in holidays when i am not working and using it a lot its still enough... I am not using Data but play a lot of music (BT or headphones)

I agree with what you say, it is dependent on the user. You occasionally see people posting screenshots with 3 days battery and 50 smileys :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: and I just think... did that person leave their phone in their pocket/on a table for 3 days? That doesn't impress anyone and it is a fake representation of the battery.
Battery details like this really help:
- screenshot of battery
- screenshot of SCREEN ON TIME
- a brief mention of usage e.g. 30 minutes per day of watching video, 3 hours internet, 1 hour gaming
- use of battery saving apps or not e.g. greenify, stamina mode, juice defender etc.
Those details really help.
Does anyone else have similar usage to me? I'm trying estimate what battery time might be normal for me.
- about 2 hours of internet every day. It's mostly news apps, read some email and a little browsing
- I don't use games on my phone much, typically 0 minutes per day
- Maybe about 15 minutes of calls per day
- I might send 10 texts per day
- I might take 2 pictures per day with the camera, no more
- Stamina mode active
Would I get more than 1 day usage?
Using BetterBatteryStats App will be really useful bro...

Hi my wife bought a Note 5 two days ago (9/30). She did all setup, app restoring, etc that evening and fully charged the phone overnight. However her phone is experiencing idle drain that I need some help fixing.
Some other info: battery saver modes are off, wifi is always on (but only connected at home), bluetooth is always off.
10/1: Arrived at work with 100% battery
A little over 4 hours later, with light use, the phone was at 51% with less that 45 mins SOT

With facebook as the biggest offender I suggested she turn off the setting of pre-loading pics and videos.
When she got home she charged phone to 100%. I also changed mobile network to CDMA/LTE. Here's how the battery looked with light use before going to bed:
10/2 - Left the phone unplugged over night to see what would happen, it lost 12% sitting on the nightstand for 8 hours.
Will report back later this afternoon to see how the day is progressing.
First step for me in reducing battery drain was to disable the Facebook app. It is a battery hog and was always at the top of my list. Instead, use a browser and create a shortcut to facebook.com or install Metal from the Play Store which is a web wrapper for Facebook and so much lighter. Sometimes I still get strange battery drain from Android system (up to 35% sometimes!). But this usually gets resolved just by opening up recent apps and closing all.
Hmm, I don't have problems with Facebook app on my droid turbo

Some people want notifications.
Regardless, Facebook doesn't seem to be showing up at the top afte the setting change. I'm interested to see what she has this afternoon. Will have some updates screen shots later on. I also asked her to charge ~3pm then drive home with nav on to see what the battery looks like under heavy usage.
I need to dig into Android System to see what's going on there, any ideas? Will GSAM pro give more insight here?

I lied, facebook setting is "play videos automatically", I have to assume turning this off will save data/battery. Also Instagram has "use less data" setting. I thought I read that this stops pre-loading of videos/images, but I might have imagined that?
Anyway, for facebook setting hit the menu button next to the notifications icon then scroll to "App Settings" near the bottom of the screen.
After most of a work day and light use she's down to 58%. Looks like facebook is back up there, odd because it's not a problem on my phone.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot why Android System is using so much battery?

You guys have to also take in consideration the Lollipop total connection time bug. Apps open up a connection and it won't close it when it's done... For example my first charge cycle I signed into instagram and it used 40% of my battery without me ever open again. The total connection time of most apps ends up being hours when it shouldn't be. That won't be fixed untill Marshmallow comes to the Note 5. Google is aware and has fixed it. It's on multiple Lollipop devices.

If the device is rooted then you can try Greenify to hibernate the apps which are consuming the battery life.Try other simple solutions like disabling the Wifi and other tools when not using them.Sometimes Play services may cause the issue so try to fix them.There are some guides which may help you http://fixdroidbattery.net/fix-fast-battery-drain-problem-on-samsung-galaxy-note-5/
http://recomhub.com/blog/how-to-fix-samsung-galaxy-note-5-fast-battery-drain-problem/
Hope these guides will help you
The problem is ...because of the device used to be root although we flash original stock firmware it is still drain when device idle ...you can take a look in Android OS and see stay awake period ...one way is flash custom room that said deep sleep fix . Hope this comment could deal your problem
Is it??
Or is it a hacked version of WearOS 2 to run on Exynos soc? Or maybe even Tizen hacked to look like WearoS?
Just don't get why Google aren't releasing WearOS 3 until at least. Q1 next year, not even for Fossil who they own, yet Samsung try to give the impression of Wear OS without ever saying Wear OS 3.
Show me a screen shot from a watch that says Google Wear OS 3 and then I'll believe it. Until theen it's a con.
I'm not getting it until everything is clear. Samsung is known to cut corners and keep quiet about it
More like a hacked version of tizen to run Google things
Consipracy theories everywhere.
It is running on android 11 (version used for Wear OS 3.0).
Wear OS 2.XX is running on android 9.

Both Wear OS and Tizen are based on Linux kernel.
History of Tizen goes back to mid 2007 (Moblin) so it's actully slightly older that Android.
Not convinced until I see a screen shot that clearly says Google Wear OS 3!

It's usually an offending app or usage of LTE. Make sure to set LTE always off....and turn it on only when you need it. In my case Spotify was eating up battery life like crazy....and now I force stop Spotify when I'm done using it...
I have HR set to continuous and spo2/snore for sleep measurement, no AOD, raise to wake enabled and usually an hour of fitness with 30mins using GPS.....gives me 40hrs of life

Is there any way to on/off lte in single click, from tiles maybe? Or do we need to go to setting>Connection> Lte every time?
Also in the drop down menu if you click add button "mobile data' will appear, what does it do? Even if we turn it off, cellular icon still appears. I assume it is data only on/off and not calls???
Also for 40 hours backup we need to use some dark watch face right?
There seems to be some sort of consensus that the LTE versions of the watch have more battery trouble
Has anyone actually given it some thought as to why?
When LTE is off it should not make a difference, but it does seem to exist.
Is the emergency service always connected, is there a bug where the modem drains power even when it should be off?
Curious to hear what you think

I have discovered my mistake was thinking that I needed to have the LTE button in the quick menu lit up blue to work away from the watch, my battery life has improved since I discovered it doesn't need to be lit up blue as that is permanently "on", by having the button grey it's on "auto"

I got mine the other day replacing my 1st gen galaxy watch. I set it up in the same way as my old watch and was amazed to see the battery drop 10% in one hour, since then I have made one change... I disabled the option for the screen to come on via gesture, settling for a tap if the screen... I took it off charge this morning at 5:30am and it is now 21:21BST... It has 58% remaining... a significant improvement over day 1
I have the same problem with LTE. Whenever I use "auto" for LTE settings, the watch would keep trying to find signal and that would drain the battery. Which is insane, especially because: 1) the phone is always nearby, bluetooth connected 2) i haven't set up any carrier yet!
I have the network connection on. For me, i have a good 2 days of battery life. Compared to my previous WearOS watches, it's excellent...

Did some testing and disabled everything (HR, Stress, Exercise detection, notifications, LTE/Mobile data, Wifi, NFC) all that was left on was the BT connection and I was still getting about 8% per Hour drain (12 hr 30 min life). Disabled BT and enabled Wifi for connection and drain now at 3.6% /H. (Stats as per Battery and Charge Monitor for Wear OS). So it doesnt appear to be a drain from any of the health monitoring or notifications etc, but possibly from the OS, which hopefully Google/Samsung will resolve/improve with updates.

There was a Health Services update yesterday and since then, my watch battery lasts WAY better. at 17hrs 33min i still have 64% left and i had re-enabled everything again as it should be. Continuous monitoring, sleep with SPO2, location, LTE, etc.
Hey there. I am noticing a big battery drain on my GW 4 40MM Bluetooth when I am going to sleep, for example last night I've gone to sleep with 83% of battery left and in the middle of the night the watch died, the same thing the night before. Normally I would get about 20-25% loss with previous firmware
This problem started after I updated to R860XXU1CUJ2. The strange thing is that I am not noticing bad battery life when I wear the watch in the day (maybe a little more draining compared to previous firmware), also note that I am just using regular sleep tracking not O2 or snore detection even though I have used this options with the previous firmware and still I had battery when I woke up.
Does anyone else has big battery drains when sleep tracking and also is there an official site where I can make a ticket?
Thanks!

I turn off Bluetooth at night and I want to try if keeping it on does anything, because as you can see from my screenshot it uses Wifi and maybe this affects the battery life at night. Do you keep Bluetooth on or off?

I would say you've got your answer. If you have enabled the option to continue receiving notifications via wifi or lte then turning off Bluetooth will inevitably use wifi all the time and result in high battery drain, most probably...
CUJ2 version as well, 28% battery drain during the night. I just left the watch on my table. No sleep tracking. No wifi. No app listed under battery usage. Nice!
Is there a way to get more details on battery consumption?

I agree with DaReDeViL. You have your answer. Why do you turn off BT and leave on wifi? Wifi uses significantly more power. I'm on newer DUJA but I saw no issues with CUJA which I ran for several weeks. I have sleep tracking on without O2 or snore detection. I don't have BT or wifi on when I sleep though. I have no desire to get notifications when I sleep, I want to sleep. I actually use bedtime mode when I sleep. I loose between 4 - 6 % of battery when I sleep (I average about 7 hours). This has remained fairly consistent with every update.
