Over about the last week my Watch4 Classic (SM-R890) went from lasting about 2 1/2 days on a charge to well less than a day. I could not figure out what was going on. I ended up resetting my watch and uninstalling/reinstalling all software on phone. After this I could not setup/sync watch to phone. I did everything I saw on-line to resolve this issue. No luck. My watch is unusable. I saw some reports on-line that there are issues with Watch4 and Android 13. It then occurred to me that I started having the battery issues about the time I updated my phone ( Pixel 6 Pro) to Android 13. Is anyone else here having battery/sync issues since updating to Android 13?
So I was able to setup watch finally. Surprisingly I was able to setup watch correctly when I disabled wifi on my phone. I have no idea on why this worked. After resetting my watch and uninstalling/reinstalling all software on phone I sill have battery issues. Definitely well less than a day. Last night as I slept I lost about 50% battery and I had bedtime mode on. Two weeks ago I would lose 5 - 8% overnight with bedtime mode. Other people are having this issue:

I'm not running Samsung health on phone. This is apparently probably not a watch software or watch hardware issue. This is being reported with multiple wearos devices across manufacturers (Like TWP3). It appears to be related to Android 13.
Is there anyone here that has Android 13 on their phone who is not having battery issues?
Not that anyone cares based based on replies but apparently the Sept. Android 13 update addresses Bluetooth issues.

I'm in US on Verizon. Apparently Verizon updated yesterday (9/12) the Pixel 6 Pro (TP1A.220905.004.A1). I keep checking for update, not yet. It is definitely Bluetooth issue with Android 13. I turned off Bluetooth on my phone and battery on watch is same as before Android 13 update. Hoping update fixes....
Sorry bro for no replies, it's just that we don't have Android 13 yet.
I am on the Android 13 beta on my Samsung S22 Ultra with the Watch 4 Classic. The watch has the latest load on it since I was on the watch beta. I have had no issues with my watch not lasting at least a full day. I have seen no difference from Android 12 to Android 13.
I received the Android 13 Sept. update (TP1A.220905.004.A1) and sadly this does not fix the issue. Such a bummer. You would think that Google would get this fixed. Given this is an issue with other wearos watches I wonder if this will impact the Pixel Watch...
Fixed issue. After trying many things ultimately it ended up the issue was related to updating from Android 12 to 13 instead of clean update. When I factory reset my phone the watch's battery life is back to normal. It was not Google Assistant or Samsung Health.
Android 12 battery & watch syncing has been working good for me. I have not tried 13 yet....
GW4C and A13, no issues at all..
Sorry people weren't replying and showing you love princess.

Hello,
My wife's S6 just received Marshmallow last week. We're on Straight Talk service on AT&T's network and everything was working fine up until Wednesday night. First, her phone went from 45% to dead in the span of an hour. Then the next day she had issues with her mobile data where she had no connection. We deleted/reloaded APN settings but that didn't fix it. I have the same service on my Nexus 6p and the same settings and mine works like a champ.
I did notice that her Android OS was consuming 45% of her battery and without any idea how to fix it I went ahead and performed a factory reset, twice. She still has excessive battery drain (70%-40% in 5 minutes), she no longer has mobile data, and her cellular/texts work sporadically; however Android OS is now under control. She now has cellular standby eating up 30% of her battery and app optimization was at 28% (This could have been due to reinstalling all her apps). I would like to say it's a hardware issue but seeing as how multiple people are having some of the same issues I think it's an actual problem with her update.
Is there any way to fix this without going back to Lollipop? If that is my only option where is the best place to find a legit version?
Here are her phone's specs:
Model: SM-G920T
Android Version: 6.0.1
Android Security Patch Level: May 1, 2016
Baseband version: G920TUEU3DPD6
Kernel Version: 3.10.61-7610624

Look, I'm going to tell you this straight.
Marshmallow has had a lot of problems.
Just scrolling through a few threads reveal most of peoples problems come from after updating to M. My S6 is completely untouched, in fact, the battery life is better.
Google released M way too early without testing it with their lab devices enough. Too many bugs, too many things missing. My best guess is uninstall any apps your wife got recently and if that doesn't work, carry a cheap power bank until Google releases an update.
I was able to downgrade to 5.1.1 and it solved her battery issue, but not her mobile data. I called Samsung and we're going to get it serviced to see if they can fix whatever is wrong. What I find funny/frustrating is that any time a new version of Android is released (and lately apple too) there are always tons of problems with battery life and other issues. You figure they'd get it right one of these days.
I upgraded to M just over 2 weeks ago & my battery life/phone experience is excellent. I was also reluctant to update, but no regrets at all in hindsight. My advise: Watch out for OTA updates - rather download new firmware & use Odin to flash.
Head on over to good ol' Sammobile and download the latest firmware for your carrier and then follow the instructions to flash. Perhaps that might help.
Just wanted to provide an update. We just got the phone back from Samsung. They ended up replacing the motherboard and that fixed the issue with no mobile data. Also, the new motherboard may have fixed the battery drain issue. It's a little too early to tell but battery drain appears normal for now.
Hello, I have the AT&T Gear S2 SM-R730A with the recent update that just came out yesterday. Anyways, i have been using it at work and I have to leave my phone in my locker so the watch isnt connected via Bluetooth. It will last only 5 hours this way and this is with a few texts and emails and no calls. I tried shutting Bluetooth off and still same drain. I also shut off gps still same. Wifi has never been on and neither has NFC so its not that. Any suggestions?

Something after the update killed my battery overnight (less than 4hrs). I decided to quickly do a hard reset before going to work in an attempt to figure out the issue. Additionally, it’s overheating on both chargers I have. I removed a few apps & watch faces I haven’t used since buying the watch. Battery life is back on par. I’ll probably attempt another hard reset this evening & not rush it.

Im packing this piece of garbage up and selling it. I had for a week and the battery life is horrible.
Another HD reset and better selection of notifications cleared the battery drain and over heating.
I shouldn't have to deal with all this for the price you pay for a watch. I'm paid for it out right I've only had it for 4 days I'm taking it back and buying the LG Google watch
Hello there!
So from today (After much waiting and checking the updater app) I can update to EMUI 5 (B360)!
But I'm a little bit unsure if I should update because many people have reported issues with it, will just factory reseting the phone after updating to EMUI 5 fix the problems or should I stay on Marshmallow until full Nougat comes out?

This is the only Nougat your going to get
And sure a factory reset is always good after a major OS update

If you care about battery life you shouldn't upgrade imo

I can confirm my battery life took a dive. I am now *charging* my phone when I drive home from work. I didn't need to do this before with MM. Sadly Huawei screwed up the battery life and no solution in sight.
Here are some likes and dislikes on it. I do suggest you read before you update. Once updated, rollback would require you to reset.

I personally can´t recommend it. Battery for me isn´t bad but I´m having a ridiculous amount of graphical glitches, bugs with notifications and sometimes apps like camera, can´t be opened on the lockscreen cause some lockscreen elements overlay and won´t allow interaction with the camera app until I restarted my phone.
Seems like people having all kinds of different issues, that others don´t have.
Really weird.
I have been running EMUI 5 since the UK beta ( about 3 months)
I have only ever put official OTA updates on my phone.
I'm having none of the issues with my phone.
No glitches, no lags no problems.
My battery life is excellent it lasts from 8am through to 7am the following morning and normally has about 30℅ left when I charge it each morning between 7-8am
I use my phone heavily all day and watch TV on it in bed every night for at least 2 hours
I'm very pleased with my honor 8

Battery is a tiny bit worse, but it fixed the NFC issues, so definitely worth upgrading (no more red lights 1/3 of the time rendering it useless on Transport for London services, and it can read a passport now, and an HK Octopus card consistently...).
A factory reset was needed after upgrading to fix some weird behaviour.

Updated, and well the battery is draining faster than usual but it drains about the same speed that it drained when I first got the phone.... But I believe that the battery will be back to normal in a couple of days.

I have updated and I must say, I really love the new features and that they fixed some of the bugs
Only glitch I've found is with the gyroscope. Only had the phone a day so not sure what it was like before the update, but this video suggests it only happened after updating;

Whether anyone else has had this problem?
Just one month ago my huawei watch 2 LTE model suddenly start to crash if the always on is activated as in the attached photos
The watch is on the last update of the OS with Oreo android system
anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Is this problem related to last wear OS update or watch HW. I'm trying to contact Huawei for that problem but facing difficulties as I purchased it from italy and I'm at KSA.

I have the same issue. To me it looks like a hardware issue. If I leave the watch off for a couple of days, it does not happen. The bight line, however, is always shown just before the watch goes to ambient mode.
I have not approached Huawei about this issue. It started a few months ago, so now I only use the watch for exercise. I'm waiting for new WearOS watches with the new 3100 chip.
I was able to successfully get my bricked watch back to life and to avoid the up mentioned problem I just turned off always on mode and the watch is working probably.
Hi
Idea if flagship killer was very cool to me so I really fall in love with OnePlus. I became part of community and I really want to help OnePlus to became really killer.
Today, after 4 Oneplus phones I am really disappointed, Oneplus became expensive top brand, flagship company. Rolling out Android 10 without serious testing for company's most expensive phone is most selfish and irresponsible move I ever seen. Looks like to me whole company working on Oneplus 7T Pro, and no one cares too much about "old" phone. This morning I was late for my work because alarm did not ring?! I don't know reason, I don't care why, I am user of 800€ phone and I don't expect that.
Wake up Oneplus,
I'm running official GM21AA on my GM1913 for 2 days, no root, just stock phone.
So far I noticed this problems:
- This morning my alarm did not ring?!
- After that disappointing situation I notices mobile data was off, so I have to turn it on manually
- Choppy audio on Bluetooth in my car ( I have to keep screen on for normal reproduction)
- Horizon Light don't work at all
- During Viber video call, video connection shuts down every few minutes, so I have to turn off then on video call constantly.
- Battery life was very nice first day, but second became terrible. Btw I have no issue with Viber, alarm clock, mobile data and Car Bluetooth during first day of using Android 10.
Any suggestions beside rolling back on Android P or selling and leaving OnePlus and back to Pixel phone
Why not do some research? There are a dozen things you can try to fix your issues. I updated from Stable 9 to 10 using Oxygen Updater and I have none of the issues you have so what is the difference? Maybe you have one or more apps that are not playing well with 10? Maybe you need to uninstall them and reinstall them so that they work better with 10? Maybe you need to do a factory reset (yes it is a pain) and DO NOT let your apps automatically reinstall from Google, to see if that fixes your issues? Or you could just sell the phone and go back to a Pixel! Then when you have the same types of issues with your Pixel you can complain on their forums about bugs and issues that you are not willing to try and fix. Solved!
NO. Still doesn't have wireless charging (which I miss A LOT) and the camera software is still not good.
