Question SmartGesture drains battery, whatever I do - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Hi. I noticed that SmartGesture drains battery heavily here and there, even if I turned off all gestures like "raise wrist to wake up" and "accept/dismiss call" .
Usually I get 40hr of battery life on my 40mm non classic. Yesterday evening it had 58% and it seemed to hit the 48hr lifetime record. I switched on bed mode and energy saver. Then I set my alarm and start sleeping. No snore detection but blood oxygen measurement activated.
10 hrs later I woke up and my watch was drained completely empty. No alarm, I woke up very late by myself. What a mess!
I noticed when I turn off all gestures, I have a good battery life but after a while the app SmartGesture starts eating battery. Then it is first with up to 20% battery consumption in power management. When I reboot the watch, it's okay again for a while until it starts eating battery again.
When I activate all gestures, especially wrist to wake, it occurs not so often but it does.
I hate Smartgesture, Is a no-go to oversleep because of its battery drain.
Any ideas what I can do? I'd love to clear data and cache from smartgesture but that's not possible.

12 hr idle = 50% battery drain!

Hi guys. The idle battery drain is ridiculous in my transformer. I charged it over night and left it home idle for 12 hours. And there's only 52% battery left. I checked the battery usage and it says 34% are from wifi, but I setted it to wifi off when screen is off. Beautiful Widgets consume 15%, tablet idle 11%, android os 10%, screen 10%. My tablet is almost a week old and I'm running prime v 1.7 with default settings. And is there any free Widgets that lets you toggle wifi,bt, auto sync, and etc....?

I'm running the same rom and i don't have that kinda drain. May be some app running in the background? May be wipe and start with clean slate?
Beautifulwidgets come with all the toggle widgets you need.
Turn of background sync and put in airplane mode and see if this helps, i turn mine off when i am not using it for a extended time.

Obviously something is taking wakelock. That's the only way you can get drain like that. Start uninstalling apps and widgets until it goes away. I would start with Beautiful Widgets, because it's on the Consuming Power list. Widgetsoid is free, and has alot more function.
I had this same problem.
I had the same problem, and you can check the responses over at this thread if you like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222410
Basically, for me I had the tablet charged to 100% and it would drop to ~50% after 15 hours of being idle and not touching the thing once. I had WiFi set to turn off when the screen turns off, and all other settings adjusted to try and save battery life. Google Maps was the biggest user of battery while the tablet should have been sleeping.
For me, the problem turned out to be Latitude. Latitude was waking my tablet, turning on WiFI and updating the location while the tablet should have been sleeping. I had to sign out of Latitude completely. This fixed all the battery issues I was having. Now if I need to use Latitude, I will sign back it, update, then sign back out. Kind of annoying, but it is what it is.
Hope this helps...
Grab "Auto Airplane Mode" widget from the market - it turns off all wireless radios, WiFi and BT when they screen turns off

[Q] Mi2S High Idle Drain (wakelock?)

I have a Mi2S and I'm running the latest stock ROM 4.4.23.
Ever since the 4.4.11 update I've had poor idle battery life.
Before that when I look at my battery usage, as long as I have good signal and the screen is off, the battery level graph is flat.
Now, almost always when my phone is idle, no matter what there is some heavy drain, it was approximately 25% over 12 hours.
I've tried all the MI2S updates since then and they are all having this issue. I have not installed any new apps or changed anything on my current ones.
Attached are some wakelock detector screenshots.
Sometimes 小米服務 has many wake alerts, but sometimes it does not. Weather app is disabled, and autosync is disabled too. Occasionally 小米服務 does not have many wake alerts but that doesn't seem to reduce idle power draw, and I think it had this many wakes before as well.
Also the 3h wakelock app is the music player; the idle drain happened when the music player was off.
Thanks for reading.
Bump...
So I spent a night in airplane mode, and voila! 3% drain over about 12 hours!
I'm still trying to figure out exactly what it is, but whenever I get the chance to I'm going to spend another night in airplane mode with wifi on.

There is a nice little utility app called power tutor, which shows you exactly which app drains your device. Maybe the problem isn't rom related...
You can find it on the play store.

Terrible stand-by time

I have a serious problem with stand-by time of my galaxy s7.
I have updated my device to Nougat and i am using ForceDoze to put the phone to sleep (without root, with adb command), although i am not sure if it is really working.
I lose about 3-4% battery every hour when idle.
With idle i mean always on display on, wifi or data on, gps and bluetooth off, power saving off.
When i check better battery stats and accubattery, it shows the phone in deep sleep most of the time.
I think this amount is ridiculous. It shouldn't consume more than 2% with this setup, assuming AOD consumes 1% per hour.
I don't have a problem with screen-on time. Only with stand-by time.
Do you have any suggestions for me? What could be the problem?
Find out what is running on your phone by going to running services. Disable the apps you dont need running, turn off always on display and see your battery times then. Clearly something is running in the background and this is up to you to find out what is running....
Second option root your phone, uninstall the bloat and install greenify.

Hi mate
Most of times is configuration issues or a rouge app , install a an like BBS let it run for a few hours and check the log to see who is keeping the phone awake.
review your settings wifi , location email, FB ........
I think i found what the problem is. It is always-on display. Last night, i turned it off. With only wi-fi on, i lost 1% per hour.
Apparently, AOD consumes way more juice than i thought.

I found AOD prevented Doze from working, which in turn used way more in idle, so it's not specifically AOD draining it, it's because it's not at it's lowest power state during idle

Question Sleep Tracking Battery drain

Hi everyone.
I got a watch 4 classic a few days ago and I've been liking it a lot. I've heard that battery life is a bit tricky in the first few days until the device learns my patterns and everything but I really got a bit frustrated with the sleep tracking drain. Got around 20% drain in the first couple of nights without any sensors enabled besides HR every 10 minutes.
From what I've read this is new as the previous generations had very little drain with sleep tracking but I've also seen some people with much better battery drain with watch 4 as well in the same scenario as myself. Is there anything known to cause this differences in battery drain?
Thanks
drained 13% for me with both hr and blood oxygen enabled constantly.
make sure enable bedtime mode
15% drain with HR/SPO2 set to continuous with snore tracking. Make sure you kill all background apps before sleeping, ensure you dont have a battery sucking watchface....and put it to bedtime mode to ensure it doesnt wake up and drain battery when you go about doing your sleep things

This is something I've only recently started paying attention: background apps. I'll do a few tests on it.
Thanks for the heads-up
How to kill my background apps?

Swipe up to show your apps drawer....tap on the 2 circles icon (recents) and scroll all the way to the left and tap close all
For me (SGW 4 Classic LTE) the battery drain in sleep tracking with HR only I get more than 25% drain. I would like to add that the LTE variant, with or without mobile plan, drains more than 60% of my battery even with Mobile networks turned off from the Settings menu. The firmware is DUJA.
