Question Omg the battery is horrible and a few other things - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

I've owned Gear S2, Gear S3, GW1, GW2, GW 3 and now the 4 Classic (46mm) and this by far has the worst battery out of all of them. Had the watch for about a week now. Honestly I can't say its any better then my GW3. Short of having YouTube so far its just meh....
Another issue is replacing the bands, I feel like the 22mm bands on my GW3 were super easy to change, on the GW4 I'm struggling to clip them in.

Not too bad here BT model

You do realize that these take 20mm bands?

Mines LTE version

Give it a few more charging cycle's....

I got the small version and battery live is terrible as well. With sleep Spo2 tracking and sporadic HR and Stress measurements it doesn´t even last 24h. Then it takes more than an hour to fully charge.
I´ve had the Oneplus Watch until now and apart from the fact that the design on the 1+ watch looks way more refined the battery live using the same features is at least double... Also it charges to full in around 30min.
Guess I will return this one and get the larger Model to see if it any better...

I have found I'm getting better battery time after more full charges. When I first got watch I was getting about a day and half with some workouts and 2 days with light use. On my previous charge I got 2 days and 20 hours. This was with light use. On my current charge I'm at 1 day and 3 hours at 46%. I have had 3 workouts with 1 using GPS. I expect I will get nearly 2 days. I was expecting a lot worse. I'm happy.

And that is the reason it takes me 20 minutes to swap a band? I'm just saying the 22 inch bands on the GW3 were super easy to swap and not so much on this one. Both on my GW4 classic and my wifes GW4.

I think it is more the function of the band. I am partial to Fintie nylon bands, and it took me less than 5 min to swap those for the factory rubber bands.

I bought a 20 mm Barton Elite Silicone Watch Band and swapped them out in under 30 seconds. Super easy. I guess it could be related to the brand.
​

My barton bands, I can swap in WAY UNDER 30 seconds. If you're taking that long to swap bands, you have a crappy band. Battery life isn't amazing, but also isn't horrible. My lifestyle allows me to recharge while I'm taking a shower so all good there.

I just purchased this model yesterday and still figuring out the battery life. Used it at work with wifi connected and bluetooth on (mine is the bluetooth/wifi/gps model, not the LTE one) and using spotify and replying to messages and so far I'm at 81 percent. All I have enabled is the fitness tracker but heart rate/stress levels etc are set to manual.

How are you getting so much battery life? I have the GW4 classic 46mm LTE model and I barely get 1.5 days of battery. I don't ever have LTE or wifi on. But I do have all the health features on continuously. Would you happen to have them off?

Battery life first impressions

Now I'm coming from a well used note 1, the note 2 may well have been a lot better, but this is very impressive. I listened to Spotify for two hours, set up Gmail and exchange push email, messed around with it a lot during the day and I still have 44%.
I was thinking of getting the wireless charging back but don't think I'll bother if it is easily going to last a day with heavy use!

Impressive. #1 in my opinion is battery life. Wireless charging is just too cool and convenient to not use though. You do it everyday, mind as well save yourself a few seconds a day, it adds up!
Indeed, I am still tempted although I think I'll wait to see how thick the official wireless back cover is.
I've been using my device all day and connected to my Galaxy Gear and at end of the day battery still has 50% charge left. Very impressive.

To judge battery life accurately, you have to include a number of variables on your device's configuration
-How much screen on time(note 2 gets 5-7 hours rooted and rom'ed)
-Auto brightness or what percent brightness?
-How much time on LTE and how much on WiFi? weak or strong data signal?(red yellow or green in battery stats)
-WiFi and/or Bluetooth and/or GPS on or off when connected to LTE?
-How many reboots since last charged?
-How much data transferred through the radio?
-How many minutes of voice calls?
-Samsung power savings mode enabled or disabled?
-SPen finder on or off?
I might be exaggerating but I think that the above counts when you have thousands of people posting various findings with vague information

My comparison is against my other devices. My Note 2 would need a charge at the end of the day so for me the Note 3 has better battery life.

You don't even have signal. This is all based on WiFi. You should do it with data.

Nope. I just got home where I have bad signal. I have been in London all day with full signal and wifi.
Just some general impressions compared to my old note 1.
You guys are getting too particular. First impressions.

Actually they're not. It's like getting a new car with almost the same engine and transmission and just saying it's faster. How about some times to show how much faster.
Poster above said his Note 2 would already need a charge and he still has 50% battery left. Either his Note 2 battery was faulty or he has misjudged his usage on his new device. The 3 will have better battery life than the 2, but not double. Congrats to all the lucky ones that have it already!
Don't forget that it's new more efficient processor and Android 4.3 in note 3 in comparison note 2 and i logically assume that overall must be more energy efficient phone. I also believe that if it wasn't sammy wouldn't had put only some miliamps better battery but a lot bigger maybe making a bit thicker.
Just my 2 cents

Who cares how accurate the first impressions are at this point, many of us pre-ordered one. We like developments and information, quit destroying our dreams.

Good point my Note 2 battery is not new. But the battery in the Note 3 holds more charge. Also Note 3 had BT4 which is very battery efficient.

Sure, old batteries may not be the best comparison, but new batteries aren't at the top of their game either. Lithium batteries generally need a few charge cycles to reach peak capacity. Maybe not scientific, but it's good to hear people are pleased with their initial results.

Johnny... please show us some new stats. Will it work around 15 hours with normal/medium usage? I'm afraid this battery... just battery ;/
Hi,
Normal/medium usage is different for everyone.
All I can say, is I was worried about be the battery size, but it has got me through the day just fine.
Depending on what apps I'm using and light gaming, I've been getting around 3.5 to 4.25 hours of screen on time.
I've averaged 16-22 hours of use even with my smart watched connected for around 6 hours a day.
We have to remember though, this is an early software version, so may improve over time.
For now battery life is very disappointing for me. Came from pixel 5 when I could leave the house with half the battery left and not worry. However, I am sure this can be improved but need some suggestions based on the below. I have google play services and carrier services that are draining quite a lot. Any idea how to pin those down/improve?
EDIT: clearly me being stupid after too much work. that's usage over the last 7 days and not 24 hours.... still battery life for me leaves something to be desired for now. I do lots of calls for work. after taking off the charge at 7am, I had to plug the phone back in at 6pm. will report towards end of the week to see if anything improves
Any news after few days of using?
Horrendous for me still after clearing caches and even turning off location. Google play services is at the top.
I need to charge twice a day. Comparing to Note 20 Ultra it's very disappointing. I am thinking about returning my Flip.

Yea. Mine lives on the charger. I get better life from my Galaxy Book. I'm assuming this will be fixed. I've seen a couple cases where people said they had better life on the Fold than note.
Had the Flip 3 for just over a week now.
Battery for me was acceptable yesterday, fair amount of camera use (mainly on 4G), and today so far is decent (mainly WiFi). At 80%, with 50mins SOT.
the only thing that did it for me was turning off 120hz refresh rate. sticking with 60hz visually hurts but it improves battery life a lot. it is now capable of getting me through the whole day easily and lasting around 24hrs. SOT is around 3 hours.

Could try the app in the mods section, set it to 96 refresh rate.
I'm going to give it a go, and try setting it up with 96Hz, and 48Hz idle.

90 not available, 48, 60, 96 and 120 are the options
Am I the only one losing 30 percent after an hour of SOT? Not even using the big screen? Almost all apps are asleep too. Absolutely nuts. I'm gonna have to carry a battery with me if I ever take this on vacation. It can't last a work day. I hit 30 percent before 11am from 85.

Question Battery Life on both Galaxy Watch 4 44mm and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm

Hi all
As of now there's not much videos or topics around the battery life of the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 classic beside knowing that the smaller of size of each model will have a smaller battery life since they sport a smaller battery.
Galaxy Watch 4 44mm and Galaxy Watch 4 classic 46 mm both have the same battery, but since their size is different, I assume that the regular Galaxy Watch 4 44mm has a slicely better battery life.
What are your thoughts ?
The screen is the same so battery life is the same. Around 2 days on light use and 1 day with heavy use.
I agree with davigar. I have a classic 46mm. Not running wifi (only bluetooth) and I'm getting about 2 days with no workouts or gps. This is with notifications on with gmail and texts but that is it. Doing workouts and/or gps about a day and a half. Coming from Galaxy Watch (1) which was 4 - 5 days with mixed use. I was very concerned with battery time going to this watch but the added features, better display, better and faster processor, and not being as bulky has won me over. This really is a superbly designed watch. Very happy so far.

Nice ! I just ordered yesterday! Galaxy watch 4 classic. Well i had the Galaxy Gear S3 and with the usage I had the battery life was like a day and a half also so... I probably won't feel any problem regarding the battery life based on both of your feedbacks. That's good to know !
I confirm. 2 days of light usage.
I also have a 46mm GW4C and i get just under 2 days with moderate usage, bt on , screen brightness at 90% , 20-30min navigation a day, all notifications
I think that the battery life is pretty poor. I have the classic LTE. If I do one hour of cycling as a standalone device using the health app and of course GPS, and then walk for an hour, same settings as I don't want to take a phone with me, I found the battery almost completely drained. So using lte, and gps, and the health app, which is the purpose I bought this, while exercising for a not too long period of time, drains it and is very disappointing to me. I had the Galaxy watch 3 and did not have this issue. Also the Apple watch 5 with no issue.
I also find that while it is wonderful to have a browser on the watch, when used as a standalone to listen to streaming radio the device overheats after only 5 or 6 minutes. It literally goes into airplane mode.
Knowing samsung, they will fix this in updates but I hate paying to be their r&d.
I think this watch looks great and most of the software works flawlessly, but if you are planning to use this for serious exercise as a standalone then you may be disappointed by the battery life.
Brilliant watch, but disappointing that the battery life is not a but better - made even harder because it doesn't charge on most wireless chargers....
Does anybody know the impact on battery life of;
1. Wifi - if it does impact noticeably is it needed if you have Bluetooth on and have the lte version with esim activated?
2. Continuous HR monitoring as opposed to every 10 minutes
When you start to monitor an activity - does the 10 minute HR monitoring automatically change to continuous?

Don't know for sure about the first two, but as to your last question, the answer is yes - in fact, when monitoring an activity, you should be able to scroll over to see the continuous heart rate readout.
I'm actually fine with the battery life of my 46mm Classic. It does seem to have settled down, and I eliminate or limit the use of battery hogging features and apps. I can get two days - which means I'm solid for a full day (24 hours - not Apple's 'full day' of 18), and that's fine by me (even coming from a Gear S3 that got 3+ days).
Don't forget, this watch does a lot more, we are now on Wear OS3 which brings significant advantages (and, of course, some disadvantages), and it gets more than twice the battery life of the supposed world's best smartwatch (I'm looking at you, The Verge).
Battery life is pretty good in my Galaxy watch 4 Classic, I charge it 3 days once and the only problem is that sometimes the watch doesn't connect properly to my phone.
Battery is fair on my Galaxy watch 4, especially since I use LTE and activities apps a lot...
2 days with LTE turned off (my carrier doesnt do eSIMs) but with everything esle one (including GPS) near as makes no difference the same usage as my previous Active 2 here.
What did alarm me (and prolly alarms new users) was the first days shocking battery usage...that first day i was worried id made a bad choice and was ready to go back to my Active 2...give it a day or two and it sorts itself out.
I wouldnt be without it now...being able to snooze or dismiss an alarm set on phone without having to scramble for the phone is wiorth it alone
GW4 46mm Classic. Note that this is with a lot of standby time over the last few days (watch just sitting on my table). Still, I can get a solid two days in normal use, and I am very pleased with the standby drain:

Here are some tips and tricks to improve battery life of your Galaxy watch 4 (classic) :

Question Pixel 6a - Thoughts at the end of day 2

So you know where I'm coming from, I upgraded from a 3a, but so far...?
The fingerprint reader is ace, and works no matter how sweaty my finger might be. No issues at all. It just works.
Screen is great, and far better than the 3a when it comes to colour temp.
Battery is big! From 100% to 15% today, day 2, and I've managed 7.5 hours SOT. That's with YouTube videos, browsing, a few hours of podcasts over Bluetooth.
Tensor is fast. I mean an abacus is fast compared to the 3a, but still, this thing is smooth, and the phone isn't even notably warm https://nox.tips/ https://xender.vip/.
And finally, this thing feels big compared to the 3a, but way more premium. It doesn't feel cheap.
So while there's lots of negative reviews out there from tech reviewers, hopefully you can find balance in the voice of a normal phone user.
Also coming from a 3a (XL though) I agree on how premium this feels (and is) comparatively. The screen is absolutely improved and the SOC is night an day better.
Thats said, FP under the screen sucks....I REALLY wish this still had the rear mount physical sensor. While I havent had the same nightmare stories others have this is no where near as good a FPR as the 3a was.
Battery is less vs my 3a XL but that had a lot bigger batter vs the normal 3a. Heat is a mixed bag, sometimes its unnoticed and sometimes it gets very toasty. Its a lot better now with my current kernel vs stock, but with added power comes added heat.
All in all though, yes depending on what device youre coming from this is a LOT better. This isnt a premium, flagship device and people need to stop comparing it with them. Its also not a cheap Chinese brand with questionable everything. This is the nicest "A" series device Ive seen/used.
had pixel 6a for 2 weeks, coming from a rugged phone with 5800mah battery, so for me pixel6a battery looks ridiculous, sorry google

I've found battery to be mediocre at best. 6-6.5 hrs onscreen over 12 hours or so. Low brightness, just flipping around social media and web and chat. But that is with LTE only, with some or all WiFi would be different story. Deep sleeping fine. Deep sleep drain is pretty crappy as well.

12 hours on 5g is pretty good with this device stock. Make sure if you havent already, to disable adaptive connectivity, and try LTE vs 5G.

Screen on time with 6a? Unbelievable. Wouldn't even come close. All reports, reviews, anecdotal user reports show this isn't possible. I've been testing it thoroughly for last month and definitely impossible.
No screen on time, just my normal phone use, and Google says It lasts 24h, it's not true

Ahhh sorry. Didn't mean to sound like a ****. I could have just asked if you meant screen on time. Thanks for confirming. Yeah LTE and WiFi when possible, if screen on/battery drain is important should make a big difference.
Out of the box this is one of the worst devices I've used in a LONG time. However, my old OnePlus 8 (dd) had to go. Just to charge I had to hold the cord at an angle, and quick charge stopped working. Then random reboots and freezes killed me. I could tell the phone was on its last legs. Same glitches regardless on stock/custom. Battery lost a lot of charge in one year.
Either way after trade in I paid $188. It's a sidegrade, which is totally fine. Most CPUs perform about the same outside of benchmarks. Battery and heat are my only complaints. Hopefully the 8a/9a are better because the rectangular shape, and camera visor have really grown on me.
Deep sleep 2 hours. Use 20 minutes, battery down to 83% :/ Honestly it's just terrible. The phone gets hot just flipping around FB. Otherwise it's fine. I'll hang onto it for a year and trade it in for 7a hoping they get these issues solved somewhat. We'll have a clue with 7 and 7 Pro. The heat I can deal with but battery life is weak. That also I can deal with but just disappointing given the device is great otherwise.

24 hours off the charger with 4h screen on including 50 min of gps, browsing, YouTube, and some music streaming. Battery down to 43% which is acceptable for my needs.

			
				
Have found that PIA VPN was burning huge amount of battery... Much better battery life without it. Looking at about 8 hours onscreen over a 20 hours with LTE.

The article mentions more details in notifications, switching SIMs, Samsung keyboard. Anything else?

and bunch of bug fixes which im sure there would be none its obvious as their updates like watch 4 manager only says bug fixes no list and known bugs remain there so even if there is any bug fixes it does not matter since the main known ones are still there
Seems Samsung begin PUBLIC Rollout for GVH2 Firmware.

Someone can say battery life has increase? Think in get a watch 4 but battery life seems to be very poor right ?
I don't have aod on, and don't stream music from my watch. I get about 40 hours of battery life, basically one day, one night and one day. I just installed 4.5 stable, i'll check if the battery improves or gets worse.

I don't know why everyone is complaining about battery life, my phone dies before the watch.
I can get a day and a half with heartrate and stress set to measure continuously AOD and auto brightness off and brightness at around 50% at home and almost max outside. Usage wise I get like 50-100 notifications a day (with vibrations and turn on screen) and I use google pay and media controls quite often. Tracking wise I record my gym workouts for like an hour and a half, but they don't really make a dent in battery life.
The only time I charge it is when taking a shower and I take it out when it is full or when I go to bed.

Mine was crap until I factory reset, installed a minimal amount of watch faces and turned off some features. In the past 5 hours I've been wearing it today, it's only dropped 4%. It also seems that power cycling it at least once a day helps. We'll see if the need for the changes I made are required on the new firmware (whenever I happen to get it; my R890 is still on FVD4)
Clearing the cache after an update, or even periodically, seems to help too

i have few complaints about the battery, i get an average 2.5-3 days out of mine
