hi henklbr ,
i am glad that you are happy with battery results ! Thanks or info .!
however, i get similar results with my Gear 1 and Note 3
( moderate use, 24 hrs..... 70..80 % , must add , depending what Gear manager version, i use )
I was hoping that when Samsung claims +_ 3 days use on Gear 2( is this correct ,what they stated ?) , we / i could squeeze +- -5/6 days out of it with my similar , moderate use ? )
Still undecided if to get Gear 2 .....
Would like to use it, as ip rating 67, water and dust resistance ,
(to use if i have to run in rain ,bad weather etc )
However, i have read the Samsung user manual ( Gear 2 )
One thing i notice how very, very similar both are ( to each over ) , to a point ,where its disappointing close , overall !
So i am looking for good positives ,but yes still searching ?
Overall ..
To me the Samsung hartrate monitor is a gimmick( i use Runtatsic hartrate app on my Gear 1, excellent app much better than Samsung s gimmick ) music and video , i play on Gear 1, with the Quickpic app so its nearly similar but its more of cool factor !Yes i cannot use bluetooth headphones ,but still use bluetooth headphones , via Note 3 (music app) ,which i still have to carry with me .Battery useage,i am also very happy with .
However i, am sure Gear 2 will be overall a good piece of harware ,
Bottom line,
i am looking opinions of members,that have both Gear 1 and 2 , and can point to /re good positives /diffs !!!! or Tizen apps that availeable or coming ..etc .
and i am looking for a good reason to convince myself, to buy/upgrade ??
Enjoy your Gear 2.
Good luck.

Gear 2 test drive!

If you can afford it, why not take if for a spin? Return it if you don't think the improvements are WORTH it.

battery life
i've been getting much better battery life with my gear 2 vs. original galaxy gear. On my original galaxy gear I would have to charge every night after draining to around 50% in an 10-12 hour period. My gear 2 I am at 48 hours and at 46% battery. About 20% of that is also from using the excersize mode for an hour each night that does constant heart rate reading (which is about the only feature i've found that really goes through battery fast). It's a great watch and really worth the upgrade.

What settings are you using cause after 8 hours of work I sit at about 75% but my arm is constantly setting the screen on so it would be considered extremely heavy use lol in any given hour the screen is prob set on for at least 10-15 minutes

I was two brightness with sound turned off and vibrate on. I also turn off the motion detection feature for turning the screen on as it turns on just way to easily that way and I don't find it to be a big deal to hit the button with I need to use it.

Only 11 hours and I'm at 69% but that is with motion on, brightness 2, mostly with sound on. Does this sound normal to everyone else? Very moderate use but I drive for a living so face is lit often (very often) about 6-7 hours daily.

Ahh okay I have brightness set at 4 and motion detection set for on and for the length of battery I get out of it, then that's pretty good....I have also used sleep tracker which doesn't use really any of your battery but apparently 91% of my sleep is motionless, so I'm assuming that has something to do with it as well lol.

Been running for 48 hrs now, SMS,IM,Email and WOOT notifications on, Motion on, second brightness. Been using timer all day as well. Sitting at 52% right now. On a good day(returned today) my gear 1 would get 24 hrs, usually more like 12 hrs.

Yeah I was surprised especially because yesterday(day 1) was a wootoff so the notification was going off every 10 minutes for most of the day. That would kill my gear 1 in a couple hours.

What was the screen time on the phone?
Is this with the Gear 2 connected to the Note 3 via bluetooth ALL THE TIME?
If I turn on the bluetooth on my Note 3 all day but not connected to anything, my phone battery will be at 30% in 10 hours and 5 hours screen time.

As to the bluetooth question, yes my gear 2 has been connected to my phone for over 60 hrs now and is now sitting at 42%

Oh, never mind then.
Since the Gear 2 will be connected to the phone pretty much all the time, the phone battery will be affected and that's what interest me, given that Android phones doesn't have Good battery life.

It might be too early for me to report battery usage. Both my Note 3 and Gear 2 were at 100% at 7am this morning. I got bunch of text and email notification throughout the day. It is 1pm, Note 3 is currently at 95% and Gear 2 is at 91%. During that time, played around with setting and few other things including answering text and read email on the G2. We'll see at the end of the day. My N3 usually at low 50% at the end of the day before I have G2. This is just my usage.
Update:
It's now 8pm: N3 is now 83% and G2 is at 76%.
Update 2:
37 hrs G2 is at 26%. Good usage last 13 hrs, phone calls, many email and SMS, hour of exercise mode. With my usage, charge is needed at the end of second day.

Yeah My phone's bluetooth is almost always connected to one bluetooth or another, I have not noticed any significant change in battery on my phone, hwoever my phone does get charged regularly and definitely will not go 3+ days without a charge.

My bet is talk time makes a huge difference, I rarely make voice calls.

A lot of reviews of the Gear 2 say the battery life is a vast improvement over the Gear 1, but in fact its not true because the firmware updates for the Gear 1 made VERY significant improvements. A Gear 1 with light to medium usage can easily hit 4-5 days. I think the Gear 2 is actually shorter right now! There may be optimisations for the Gear 2 in the coming months but the fact the Gear 1 was so significantly improved has been missed by many.

I have been using it at night to collect sleep data since I got this. Last night for some reason, I went to bed with 60% bat. By the time I got up, it was completely dead out of battery? ?? Not sure what happened? With 60% it should last all night and all day.

4 days + on ONE charge! Amazing Battery Life

Howdy all,
Just thought I'd relay my battery stats on my Rooted Verizon S5 with Jkruse's Dark_Theme_Rom.
I had my phone on full with NO charge for 4+ days. 1hour 21 minutes for voice calls, 4hours 8 minutes for screen time and 4 days 4 minutes without a charge. My S5 always has: Bluetooth on, Location on, Mobile data on, sync on and I keep my brightness at 60%! So I was not just trying to get to 4 days. However when I was at the 4 days it did finally get down to 1% battery left so I did these screenshots for fun. I guess I'm just excited but also if one has an issue with battery life, then I'm not sure where the problem may be. Great phone this Galaxy S5 is proving to be.
Call me happy and I thought I would share.

I do use Glowing Battery Saver. It gives me a nice battery widget and it does have a power saving modes. I use the normal settings which does help. I should also mention that I have S-health on always for my pedometer as I like to know how much I walk everyday. Today was about 4 miles. Picture below is my home screen with the Glowing Battery Saver widget. I use the Apex Launcher and Wanam for an FYI.

Yes your right Glowing Battery Saver has not been upgraded in a while but it works great for me. There are probably hundreds of apps like this and I encourage folks to take advantage of one of them for their device at least IMHO.

I call BS. I find it impossible to believe that the phone went 4 days without charge , while still being used. If I don't touch my phone, it's dead in under 2! I'm guessing he's the app's developer trying to drum up more sales.

I can't imagine what options were turned off, but check it out -- only about 4 hours of screen-on time. Not sure how much one can use their phone over 4 days when you're only averaging 1 hour of on-screen time a day.

Nope, his phone's like mine. If you turn off everything that doesn't need to be on, minimal apps it can be done. Turn off wifi always scanning, stuff like that. I can get 10%-15% drain per day with little to no use, it can go 5+ days between charges that way, seriously no B.S.. Now it's not much of a phone that way and I freely admit I have no life

Before calling BS perhaps you should try some battery saving options for yourself. If I "don't touch my phone" I can go far past two days. Moderate use (3-4 hours screen on time + exchange + 2 google accounts) I can go about 1 1/2 days. Without exchange, I've gotten a little more than 3 days. So, if I "don't touch my phone" it'd go much past that.
People should stop assuming everyone is always lying.

I don't KNOW he's lying, the whole thing just doesn't add up, to me and apparently others. I'd love for it to be true, but with BT, WIFI, sync, Exchange, S-health, 1+hr talktime, I doubt it's legit. You believe him, that's your opinion. He also hasn't bothered to follow up on the thread since day 1...

Wow, this really has opened a can of worms. First and foremost I am NOT lying! I never had my phone off and yes I did have everything opened above but Exchange, never said that. And I do have sync always on but un-check everything and sync only on demand for my contacts (over 3000+ as I in sales), gmail, browser and calendar. Yes for 4 days I was light on phone use. Only an hour a day average of screen time, and yes only an hour and 1/2 of phone calls so it was not my usual power use, however this is very legit. I only posted about this just to let everyone know I'm happy with my results with jkruse Rom and the device itself. I could care less about whether one believes me or not, but to say I'm lying is really not cool. Move along doubters, nothing to see here. But again it is what I experienced.
If the Mods want to delete this tread because of hostility then so be it, as I'm amazed at some of these posts. Those who understood I thank you... :good:

That's basically 6 hours screen on-time, not bad.

Not too shabby. I still want the zero lemon

close to 4hrs screen time with 51% left

I have the ZL battery... Considering this Dark Theme Rom more now after reading this. And I wonder what kind of damage I could do, so to speak, with a ZL battery, that rom, and NO battery saver app. Probably wouldn't be as long as his though because my S5 is my internet at home, and that would drain the battery fast.

Note 10 Plus bad standby battery drain

I've had my AT&T Note 10 plus for over a week now, and for the first week the battery life was stellar. Three days ago seemingly out of nowhere, battery life had tanked. Some context - I came from a Note 9 which had fantastic battery life. Location on, widgets, notifications, etc were enabled. I feel I shouldn't have to yield to or cripple my phone to get decent battery life from it so I refuse to do that on a device that costs this much. It should just work.
Anyway, fast-forward to three days ago with my note 10+ - same settings and everything as my previous note 9 - and out of nowhere the battery life just starts to tank. Android System is seems to be the drain, but I'm not sure what in there is causing it. The phone is constantly warm. As an experiment, I've put it on airplane mode now with wifi still on and the phone has cooled down but I'm not sure yet if the battery is being drained less or not as it's only been a few minutes. But, I am losing about 6% battery/hr not even using the phone. That is rather unacceptable after it having worked just fine the first several days I've had it. I refuse to disable location and do other seemingly band-aid tricks to help the battery along as I don't feel that really solves the issue and should be unnecessary for a device that costs this much money. I also refuse to factory reset unless I ABSOLUTELY have to because these phones are a pain in the rear to setup, even with Samsung/Google's restore. So many settings to go in and manipulate.
I hope this resolves itself or I can get to the bottom of it somehow. I really love this phone and really don't want to go back to my iPhone XS Max over a battery issue but it is just unacceptable for the battery to drain like this with little to no actual use of the phone. The other night by the time I had placed it on the charger, android system was up over 30%...
is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I apologize if this has been discussed before - I couldn't find anything similar.
EDIT
After putting the phone in airplane mode (wifi left on), it has cooled down and battery drain seems to have improved. According to the battery graph it looks like the phone is also finally going to sleep. Previously the graph went straight down to the right with no flat spots.
What could this be? My cell reception hasn't changed and I'm at wit's end

I use Naptime from the play store by Francisco Franco and no as the title of his app says you don't get 9000% better battery. You'll need a couple of adb commands to get it to work it you're not rooted.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.doze&hl=en
This is a quote from Franco - Unbelievably improve the battery life during idle of your device by empowering Android's built-in Doze power saving functionality. It supports Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo and now Pie. It features more options for rooted devices, but it'll also work if you're unrooted.
Naptime also allows you to disable WiFi, mobile data, location & bluetooth during doze for that battery life /flex ?

I find that I'm losing around 1 to 0.7% per hour is that normal or considered good? The other night my phone was at 95% I woke up 6 or so hours later and it was a 89%. I'll need to do some thorough testing, but I don't know what to make of those results.
Anyone on here have some advice on weather that idle time is good or bad? My device is an unlocked n10plus running Snapdragon

-If you charge to 100 and put it next to your bed. How much is it next morning?
-do you use the led cover?
-are there any less known apps in your list?
Switching off wifi, Bluetooth etc is useless. These are efficient enough nowadays.
I tested these kind of "tricks" and no difference after my nightly sleep test.
Sometimes an app like evernote, google foto's or journey is downloading a lot of data in your new phone.
---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------
With all my last Notes I get a .6 till .9% per hour in a situation where i put my Note next to my bed and do not touch it during sleeping hours.
I live on three different locations, in different countries even, and that shows some battery consuming difference. Routers and provider locations are not the same.
I have more than 180 apps installed. No games however.
I am not rooted, but use GSAM battery monitor. The quickest way to see the hourly consumption.
Factory reset means a full day work for me. E.g. banking apps need a lot of tuning. Even using Google and Samsung restore.

Sometimes an app like evernote, google foto's or journey is downloading a lot of data in your new phone.

With all my last Notes I get a .6 till .9% per hour in a situation where i put my Note next to my bed and do not touch it during sleeping hours.
I live on three different locations, in different countries even, and that shows some battery consuming difference. Routers and provider locations are not the same.
I have more than 180 apps installed. No games however.
I am not rooted, but use GSAM battery monitor. The quickest way to see the hourly consumption.
Factory reset means a full day work for me. E.g. banking apps need a lot of tuning. Even using Google and Samsung restore.

I charge it overnight while I'm sleeping. No lesser-known apps installed, no LED cover either. Not rooted. this literally happened out of nowhere after days of it being great. Not sure what could have happened, or if it's something on ATT's end? I don't know where else to look. I'm with you on the factory reset. It's such a waste of time and will take up hours.

mine also been facing this battery drain issue since day one. Tried using naptime just now and it improve my battery life ALOT!! Thanks for the suggestion

Pls try to charge it before going to bed and leave it to see how much it spends overnight w i t h o u t touching it. If it is higher than 1+%/hr something is wrong..
I buy a new phone every year because I am nuts. But I always register in Evernote my findings.
Frequently the power consumption is higher in the beginning, because a lot of background activity like data reading and background update of software.
If it is more than, let's say 1.2%/hr during overnight sleep it is not ok.
I am doing this test now with my Note 10+ 512 (Yes i am nuts, I told you) and will inform you later.
After seven hours .8%/hr which is normal.

I can tell you right now that it's losing 5-6% an hour just sitting there. The phone has been set up for days now so I know it's not the setup process. Like i said, it was fine for almost a week, then out of nowhere this happens...

Pffff, you have a problem. So in settings/maintenance/battery there no apps with high use?
After just rebooting the phone the consumption starts immediately?

Yes...I know I have a problem...Android System is the culprit. Beyond that, I do not know what in "android system" is causing it. Perhaps a wake lock bug? A wifi bug?

It's always the same with my Samsung devices it's rediciculus Samsung. On your note 10 or note 10+ before switching to flight mode set the network setting to 3g only! In 7 hours you will loose only 2% battery instead of 8 or more. Same was on my note 9 but Samsung finally patched this behavior a few month ago. Now the same with my note 10+.
This problem is only for the flight mode. So you can test 3 things in 3 nights. You have 3 options before going in flight mode. In network selection choose 3g only. Than watch what happens over night. Next time you choose 2g/3g only and you can try it with 2g only.
For me doing so 1-2 % battery drain in 7-8 hours.

I've pretty bad reception with 4G. But no crazy 25% drain over night, more like 4-5%. And that's with the non plus Note with exynos.

With naptime, do you get notifications instantly? I have auto sync on all the time, is there any issues around this?

Just bought a new galaxy note 10 and overnight from 100 % i have 57 this morning. Whats going on?

Is this normal on note 10 plus battery health?

My N10+ is about 3 weeks old, but I found, like you, that after a couple days of stellar battery life my idle was starting to drain pretty fast. Going to bed and waking about 6 hours later I was missing around 20%. This is with all apps closed, WiFi, BT, Location, Link to Windows, Mobile data, NFC, Sync, and AOD turned on. I turned off AOD, NFC, and Link to Windows. My battery drain since, for the better part of 2 weeks, has been about 5-6 percent. Around 1% an hour while sleeping. I don't know how I can help, but I hope this does. I honestly can't complain about this battery. I have been getting 6-7 of screen time before having to charge around 10%.
Edit: also turned off edge lighting, which I had enabled before.

ehm so you made your top shelf 1000$ device into a feature phone ... that's no solution

I don't remember saying, "Here's a solution for you!" No, I simply posted what I did to stop the horrible battery drain that I was experiencing.
Also, I spent the $1,100 on this phone and I'm pretty sure I can use it however I want. Feature phone, paper weight, fish tank decoration..:good:

My N10+ has been sat on my desk and not used for 4 hours yet battery has gone from 100% to 78%.
I don't know how this is acceptable.

I have the reg note 10 and ive been battling this for a couple weeks. nothing seems to keep the system from sucking the batter dry. Standby life is a joke. i lost 40% today with the phone on for about 10 hours and 30 min SOT while i was at work. I cant figure out whats stuck in the system, tried literally everything

Question New Poco X3 Pro - defective battery?

I've ordered a Poco X3 Pro directly from the localized Xiaomi online shop a few days ago and have received it on Saturday.
It arrived with the battery at 72%.
After setting it up, downloading and installing a new firmware version, installing a few apps that I'm using as well as uninstalling several of those that came with the phone (all done only with the phone itself - no adb debloating, yet) I put the phone aside with I think around 45% of battery capacity left. (Possibly something around 35%.)
Just now - about a day later - I picked it up again to continue and am shocked to find out that the battery is completely drained. (I haven't even put a SIM card in, yet)
Does that mean that I've received a defective device or is there another plausible explanation why the battery has completely drained within just about 24 hours at the most of not even touching it?
Could it be the not having a SIM in while NOT in airplane mode or is the modem off anyways when there's no SIM?
I'm hoping that someone in this subreddit can give me some advice on the issue.

It means you should charge a new device to 100% before using. Charge to 100% then use it until shutdown for 3 times and see what you got.
It's best to establish a baseline before optimizing. Otherwise you have no frame of reference to the performance improvement or degradation.
Return it if it doesn't function normally.

if the problem persists bring it to sc or for replacement.

Thanks to the both of you for replying.
In the meantime I've fully charged it and put it into airplane mode with wifi on (its not my main phone, yet, so there's still no SIM in it). Now, two days later I'm still on 64% charge.
To me that either points towards the new battery having to be trained first issue or indeed is an issue caused by not having at least one SIM in causing the modem to go on continues search draining the battery. Had I better battery stats on the phone I could test that latter theory - unfortunately I haven't.

try using it with sim and fully charge it 100 then use as normal with wifi or just play games, let's see if how it goes.

See what app(s) is using up the battery.
AOD is off, right?
Otherwise that's a high drain.

Poco X3 Pro is LCD, no need AOD.
MIUI system itself drains battery fast.
Personally uses custom ROM. Whole day with 3G only, WIFI off mostly, phone mostly in standby, battery drain is around 5~6% or less per day.
Stop charging at 55%, start charging at 49 and below, charge once daily.

I wouldn't mind lineageos but I have to use an official ROM for my banking app to work.

I see

Just a heads up:
After little over three months of using the phone I've come to the conclusion that the issue was caused by using the phone without SIM while it was constantly looking for a connection. Putting it into airplane mode fixed the issue.
Once I had fully swapped phones from my Axon 7 to the Poco X3 Pro (i.e. also moved the SIM over) it still worked as originally expected.
Now, since I currently can not sit due to a few surgeries a few weeks ago I'm fighting boredom in bed with the phone watching videos, surfing the web, checking some apps or by playing games via the Steam link app. So wifi and Bluetooth are both on all day every day, not to mention the normal mobile network connection.
With doing that I would guess a full charge would last 12-13 hours because typically I'm charging the phone before I sleep at which point I'm down to about 20% and having a full day with around 10.5 hours of screen on time.
I can only say that I'm really satisfied with the battery life of the X3 Pro - so far there's nothing to complain (besides a lack of updates and MIUI 12.5 which although ok isn't my favorite).

Question Huge battery draining

Hi all! Hope I can have son help from anyone... I'm experiencing a huge battery drain on my watch 4 40mm... Usually battery for me lasts around one day and an half, but right now I can't barely complete a day. Here's my screenshot on my galaxy manager app.
I saw the thread about Google Assistant draining battery a lot and I've already disabled it since I'm not using it. But as you can see in a little more than 4 hours by battery has drained a lot...

You will need to supply a lot more info. Like what settings you use, especially AOD, how often you use it and what you use, how old the watch is, how often it is charged, etc.

Sorry you are right.
Aod always disabled.
I have the watch since 7-8 months.
I'm not using the watch really hard, just to see and reply text messages (not so frequently) and track my sleep during the night. Wifi always in automatic mode. Localization disabled.
I was used to charge it once every two days usually, now two times in a day...

I would start by using either command prompt or adb app control to debloat the watch and see if that makes a difference

how many times a week you restart the watch?
i think is full, close every app and restart the watch then try to use risparmio energetico (you are italian vero)

Here is my stats. This is ofc with multiple charges. I have the same 42mm Watch 4 classic with LTE. Normally it does not last even a day.. If I enable battery saver it last 1 and a half day. So you can try that? My watch 3 46mm lasted around 3 days lol..

Hello, I have had the same, suddenly barely getting a day out of the watch with no change of settings or face etc, many on Reddit say the same too.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatch/comments/w9f923
Hopefully just a dodgy app update that will be corrected in the next update but very frustrating, ~I have turned off "raise to wake" today and I'm still on 50% which is about what I would have normally had at this time of day before this change.

I'm really hoping the problem is just a crappy update honestly

If you have already performed a factory reset and the problem persists, then I wonder if it could be a bad calibration on the battery, or hardware failure. Chances are that it is something else, like you mentioned -- a bad update -- but it is possible that the device "thinks" the battery is draining faster than it actually is, or "thinks" the battery is fully charged before it really is. Just something to consider.

And if that is so, it is easy to fix. Just charge to 100%, then allow it to run COMPLETELY down to zero charge (just use it normally) and it shuts off. Don't use battery saver. Then charge it up 100% and do it again. I have done this with phones before to fix calibration.
Remember, Lithium Ion devices don't really know the state of the battery completely. There is a lot of guess work going on. But this calibration usually fixes the issue where it thinks there is MORE battery available than actual, not the other way around.

I done that Health update last night and it drained 30% overnight, I'm hoping a cache clear, reboot and full charge this evening will sort that out, they fix one thing and break another!

This is not encouraging me..
With my old galaxy watch 1, in the entire night with sleep tracker on, it was losing 2/3%... this watch lose 15/20% in the same hours... maybe depending on OS used, but it's really strange that a 3 years old watch is better than a new one... I was charging the old one every 2/3 days, this new is impossible to achieve 2 days..

Yes, I too had a GW1 but I believe that Tizen was much more optimised by Samsung as it was their own OS, still disappointing with the consistency (or rather inconsistentcy) of Wear OS3.
Hopefully the next version that is currently in Beta will be more optimised and bug free.....

Don't ask how..
But after 1 month and a half, I've reached for first time 2 entire days of battery.. nothing changed in last days, except aod off. But 3 days ago I returned home with 54% of battery after 22 hours from charging and aod on, while yesterday with same hours and aod off I was at 62%, so not a big difference... maybe some minor updates of some apps? Someone other noticed improvements in last days?

I have a somewhat long story but it may help some of you here. I was wanting more complications on my watchface for more info and finally when I was annoyed enough that I couldn't find a watchface with how many I wanted, I went to work with watchface studio only to waste a ton of time making it look just like I wanted only to find out that there is an 8 complication limit on faces. So I started looking for alternatives and found bubble cloud launcher. A replacement launcher and watchface for wear os. After the steep learning curve that came with this AND emailing the dev back fourth a bit with questions. I found that using his watchface and his liveinfo (what he calls them) bubbles instead of using complications I get WAY better battery life WITH more info on my watchface than ever before. According to the dev, his liveinfo bubbles update dynamically from the phone companion app and not just whenever the watch wants to, he said that during his time learning about watchfaces that some complications update every second and others every minute and some are really bad on your watch battery and so when he designed his app he had battery longevity in mind and boy does it help me.
