Good day!
Anybody noticed fast battery draining since the update to 2.2?
First day, I went to bed getting my first 20% "low battery" warning, waking up next morning to a dead battery (watch was completely turned off).
My watch seems to be losing 30% battery a day, for the last 2 days.
I used to lose 10% a day, maybe a bit less...
It may be the watchfaces I have installed, but I haven't made any significant changes since the update.

I think I experience the same thing with the battery drain of the new firmware, go back to 2.1 for now
same here. had 7 days uptime with 2.1 and now 2.5 days with 2.2
I was still loosing 30% a day on 2.2 after a few days, full charge.
Also, my friend with a Steel had the same issue.
I use to get 10 days on 2.1.... hopefully they can fix 2.2 to bring back the extra good battery life.
I went back to 2.1 from PebbleBits.
Same here, losing 40% in 19 hours. :good: May have to downgrade if updates don't roll out soon enough!
I have 1d15h uptime and 60% battery left on fw v2.2.
No problems here. I'm getting an easy 5 days and hitting 40%. Had 100% Monday morning. Its 4:43 pm on Tuesday and I'm at 90%. I don't use alot of whistles and bells - just time and notifications. Maybe that's why? New user and probably haven't figured out all it can do yet.
Note: Just checked and my version is 2.0.15.4, for whatever that's worth. I updated just a few days ago though.
I've had mine since christmas, and even at that time the battery life wasn't that great, but that changed when we hit 2.1 (I think...).
Maybe I'd have to try and do a factory reset after re-installing 2.2.
What I find strange is that I haven't changed anything, same watchface, same apps.... just a new PebbleOS...
On the same night I had installed it, I was at 30%. Next morning (8h later) the watch was completely dead. Unless I use my Pebble while sleepwalking, I don't know what happened there!
I have quiet hours setup too.
same here. had 12 days with my watchface on 2.1 and now 2 days with 2.2

My battery life sucked as well on 2.2 I just reflashed pebblebits 2.1 this morning so I'll see if it really was 2.2 it my imagination.

Use pebblebits
Update-ish...
Hey guys...still not progress on the issue it seams.
I forgot to mention that I linked this thread on Reddit to an existing post they had on there.
http://redd.it/27slv1
Some who works for Pebble (I believe) replied to the post, indicating that "nothing could be found in the logs they checked"...
I would suggest you reply to the Reddit post, just so we can open their eyes on the issue.
Thanks!
I get phenomenal battery life on my Pebble Steel running 2.2.
Official 2.2 firmware and beta version of the Android Pebble app (v2.0.16-RC4). The following watch apps installed: PebbleBucks, Notifications (with Notification Center companion app), Music Boss (with Music Boss companion app), Canvas (watch face version with Canvas for Pebble companion app).
I get anywhere from 5-6 days from a full charge, with 10-15% drain per day. I'd say that my use of the watch is moderate. I use Music Boss for a few hours each day on my commute to and from work with frequent song skipping (which lights up the screen.) My watch face includes weather information on 2-hour refresh and phone battery with 1% increments. I get anywhere from 5-10 notifications per hour from various sources like e-mail, voicemail, SMS, Google Now, and different social media apps (G+, Twitter, etc.)

Galaxy S4 running CM11 nightlies (currently on Android 4.4.4 KitKat.) I don't know if that matters though, aside from which Bluetooth version is being used. As far as I know, BT 4.0 LE is not supported on Pebble, so it must be using 4.0, and falling back to 2.1 for paired devices that aren't 4.0.
I completely charged the watch over the weekend and rebooted. It's currently sitting at 70% battery with 2d 1h 49m 50s uptime.
Just remembered I promised usage stats

It's still at 30%. At this rate I expect it to go full 7 days, mostly because I barely used it during this past holiday weekend.

I have always seen threads here of people getting so much better battery life then what I am getting.
I am down to 80% after 1 hour and 14 minutes after unplugging from the charger.
Here is my configuration:

That's about it. If you have any other questions please let me know.
Just a shot in the dark, but you have a lot of widgets running, and your over clocked, as well as having a live background, my guess is its draining as it should be!
My 2 cents: I just lost 30% in 2 days with my setup... try it out.
Switch to intersectRaven's 33.4 Kernel (the 925mV Version, Latest Release)
Download Task Manager (i use the regular one with the little green android)
Setup Task Manager to ignore only 2 or 3 important apps (like the clock if you use an alarm) Also, set it up to kill all tasks 5 mins after screen goes black.
That should increase your battery life quite a bit.

Well the kernel is undervolted so having it overlocked supposedly doesn't decrease battery life. As far as the widgets and live wallpaper go, I thought they don't use that much battery?.

I've been meaning to try a new Kernel. Thanks for the info, I will try intersectRaven's and see how it goes. By the way, you lost 30% in 2 days is crazy! What type of usage have you put it through?
Am I the only one who thinks it's a heavy use and the drain is perfectly normal? I can bet that during those 1.25 hours the phone rested maybe several minutes - only the drain from reading a couple of articles would cover 10%...

Nope! I can drain a quarter of my battery, at home, while using 3G, just browsing the internet, in about that time...

Well I never thought of it that way. The articles weren't that long (3-6 paragraphs) but then again I am not sure how much drain NewsRoom has when it fetches them.

Not sure about fetching, probably not much. But screen being on (and probably with white background and non-minimal brightness) for the time of reading drains a lot.
I finally rooted last night and flashed cyanogen latest ROM and now suddenly have the same poor battery life. I used stock for 3 months and this is an enormous difference than stock. I'm at 59 minutes and down to 76 % already. I have no apps installed or any widgets since I only just flashed. Stock cyanogen. So why is cyanogen So power hungry?
Pure calendar.
I totally respect the programmer and love his apps. But everytime batery has been an issue removing the widget has usually been tied to better battery life. Placebo ?..maybe..
I got terrible life with Cyn 6.05
Helix is supposedly a battery raper. That + Pure would suck Batt life like mad for me.
Both 5.05 and Froyo give me much better results.

Yeah it definitely is Cyanogen. Since I flashed Froyo, my battery life has doubled in comparison to CM 5.0.6 (I hear that 5.0.7 is even worse).

Ive been wondering the same thing and considering installing his "perks" seperately.
I do wonder if its Helix. More than a few times Ive heard people claim piss poor battery life.

I had terrible problems on CM 5.05 and 5.06. I tried what I thought was everything: setcpu, taskmanagers, every kernel known to xda. Nothing helped.
And then, one day, when I had stopped trying, I noticed I was getting good battery life again. What changed? My main suspects are replacement launchers, such as Helixlauncher etc., wifi turned on when no wifi is available -- this was big one!
And apps trying to update all the time.
Your screen was on for 44 minutes out of 74 minutes? I'm going to label that a big fat duh.
juice defender works great doubled my batterylife
I am a battery cheapstake and get pretty good battery about a day and change, with one hour on the phone and some google searching/mapping and surfing and a game or two, if you do the following:
Keep screen at minimal. You can increase it on command from the command widget if you really it, like when outdoors in bright sunlight. It takes 1 second to change and it can save you tons of battery during the course of the day.
Same goes with keep the battery to turn off after 15-30 seconds. Again, over the course of the day it adds up.
Remove live-wall papers, they are nothing but a drain. I am an photographer enthusiast so I use my own photography, a dark shot to save on battery as well. Plus it is nice to show your own stuff than someone elses.
Use no polling widgets, unless you need to. I only have 4 widgets and none pull down anything from the net at anytime. If I need twitter, it takes 2 seconds to open the app.
One of the widgets I DO have is the 2G/3G switch. When the Nexus is in my pocket, I do not need it to download/upload/sync with anything at lighting speeds. So if anything gets updated, it will be slower but I do not care. If I need the phone, I switch the puppy to 3G and fly. Savings are HUGE and guarantees my phone will have juice when I NEED it, and not use up while on standby.
I read that having task killers is a waste of time on Android. Since it is not a Windows device, ram and apps are not handled the same way. I used to kill everything on site on my old Tytn so I thought it natural. However, I read that Android is fairly good at memory managment. So for now, what I do is back out, out of all my apps --unless they have an 'exit' option. I am currently experimenting with that, after using a number of task killers from the market I think I have a fair idea of what I should and should not expect. I will let you know.
If you really want to make a difference, uncheck 'background sync' on settings under the sync option. If I need to check my email, I can again, pull it down fast. I know a few people who want to have everything push, however, unless you are that popular that you get emails\twitter & facebook notifications every 2-minutes or because of work then it is not really needed.
It is a bit of a trade-off, but you can't expect to have a running a 1Mhz chipped, huge screened, live wall-papered, widget-polling that is always connected to the internet device and expect it to to last you more than a day with an -in my opinion, fairly small- sub 1500mAh battery. If you had, say
<3000mAh, ahhh..., then that would be something.
Feels a bit cramped but i like the swipe to the media section. Either way great to have options good luck with getting it to work fully.
5.0.7 worked wonders for me batterywise.. better than stock AND slightly better than Froyo.
Is weird that some phone works better than other phones with the same ROM...funny..
I would revert back to Cyanogen if the wifi could stay constantly on. Thats the only thing stopping me.

I feel my battery life has come dowb after kl7 update..check scrrenshot
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
I am not seeing exact issue how much android OS usng,
looking to your screenshot, display is just 6%, means hardly you have utilised your device. it was mostly in screenoff state. Ok when you dont use your device, but OS is running in background so just OS but nothing else have drain it.
Now another thing looking to image i can say in 9hr your battery dropped 50%
it means > 5% / hr, that actually i count the measure.
In idle state it shud be 2-3 % with 3G n Data sync On. So here it is more.
anyway once let it drain completely then recharge it fully n count drain %/hr.
I am using few stuff, e.g
Autostart - just kill the app you dont using
Phoneweaver - It autometically controls my data connection e.g. just after 15min to my sleeping time, it gets turnoff my data, n swithon b4 few min i wakeup.
SetCPU - I set profile to use CPU <500 in screenoff state.
My batt seems to last longer on kl7.
Your is idle. it seem 3%/hr even using screen quite good time.
My sisters Note had same crazy issue with Android OS eating battery. Tried many things to find the culprit but only thing that fixed it was full wipe and reinstall ROM. No issues now.

il calibrate battery and see hwz it working
I have a very long time use with this firmware and very happy with the update.
I just disabled all automatic synch and the samsung apps notification and things like this.
3g is always enabled and some hours a day wifi is also enabled
Don't know if it will work for you but I had the same problem. Believe it or not a simple hard reboot, solved the issue. Was identical to mine using Android OS over 70% while screen was at 15%. Programs added and deleted were still running around in the OS until that reboot(I'm guessing). Let me know if that works.
seems better. i did a complete battery drain and recharged from 0 battery. now after 5 hours after complete recharge, im at 84%. 2 push emails..full time wifi connectivity, facebook/twitter/socialhub sync always on. 5 min phone call. and thats it.i think its better.
For those who do not realize it yet, having Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc syncing every minute takes a lot of power. You cannot expect the phone to be doing this for 12 hours straight.
If you have a lot of battery ussage with screen off, try to disable account synchronization and see what happens then.
You need to evaluate if you need to see every social network update on the instant, or you carry extra batteries with you, or you are able to find a place to charge every few hours.
What you cannot expect are miracles.

Hmm, something has definitely changed for me.
Up until recently I was getting two days use out of a charge with wifi, gps & 3g enabled syncing 2 gmail, 1 yahoo account plus twitter and google reader stuff. Last couple of days Android OS has gone nuts and I'm getting similar readings in terms of usage to those quoted in this thread. This morning I've drained 20% in an hour with a bit of internet use.
Only thing I have changed is updating a few apps and I've put the thing in one of those silicon protection cases but that can't be the reason(can it??!!).

Hi!
I've searched the forum but didn't find a straight answer. What's your battery life?
Mine, having no apps, few notifications, black face and always on get just 13h. And that's frustrating. My unit it's just three day's old and if this is the expected performance I will return it at once. What do you think?
Thanks!
I'm getting over 2 full days easy. But I also have enough ambient mode turned off so the screen is completely off, unless I get a notification or am using it.

Just a update before I put my watch on the charger.
2PM on the 19th to 8:35PM on the 21st
I usually get 2-3 days with moderate usage. Always-on screen enabled seems to be about the same as when it is disabled for me so I leave it enabled now. However, my watch screen does shut off from 0000-0650 hrs everyday. If you aren't playing with your watch a lot then 13 hours seems unreasonable.
I just checked mine : 72% remaining after 13 hours. Always on enabled - used lightly (notifications and some small utilities). I'm charging it every evening though .. just to have it 100% in the morning.
Thanks!
After a watch reboot it seems I'm getting a couple of days of battery life. I imagine I had some mysterious app depleting my battery. So I'm keeping the watch.
I have also experienced poor performance of my LG G Watch R. It will drop from 100% to 0% charge in 4-6 hours. When I look at the AndroidWear log, it shows about 15-30% power drop over various applications. I am then questioning where the other 70% power drop has gone.
This is extremely frustrating. When the Bluetooth is off on my phone, the power drop is as expected - a few percent every hour.
Anybody else have this issue? Could it be my phone? I have a Galaxy Note 3 on the Verizon network.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Cheers,
B.D.
Yes, I also had the issue today, already for the 2nd time in the past 2 weeks. Something happens and the battery starts depleting quickly ...
Any idea how can I see which apps have caused this rapid battery drain? Someone mentioned android log ...

I'm getting 2-3 hours of battery life. I've had the watch for less than 24 hours. I realize once an update is done battery life isnt optimal for a day or two on Android but this is nuts. I have screen always off and haven't installed any apps. I'm gonna give it to Monday and If I'm still seeing this drain, It's going back to Google.

I read recently that there is a bug in the battery meter when watch is shipped. It will show 100% then drop very quickly for first few days. I've had mine nearly two weeks and I get through a shift at work (8hrs) with 60%+ remaining. I work nights so I keep brightness set at 1 which probably helps. Hope it gets better after a few cycles.
Hi! I know Android since 2008 (HTC Hero), had tons of devices and (have to) use IPhone6 Plus for work.
Can someone please explain why IPhone is basically not draining battery when screen is off? I can put my IPhone with all services running...Facebook, email, Google, Instagram etc...If I dont use it 24h it maybe looses 3%...
But on Android...not matter what I do (Greenify, disabling notifications for Facebook, Instagram... etc..) I don't get anything close to that. I discovered across multiple devices with different ROMS. With my fresh OP3T it is not any different...
What is Apple doing differently here?

Google has more services that sync in the background than apple by default, so things like location history (which I would recommend turning off) and sync for apps like Facebook that can't be disabled (unless you use Greenify) are the most common drains.

I know But even if I change massively on Android incl. Wakelocks etc there is not a lot of change. Facebook I had e.g. on Cyanogenmod as "keep active = no" and others as well...But IP was still way much better. And I get all updates on my IP6 incl. ebay, messages etc....
Honestly it is annoying because stand by drain should be at least the same with all the measures we can do with a rooted device...but in reality IPhone keeps e.g. 100% for at least 8 or 10 hours....
I know location history has definetly some influence...is there any way to send location history maybe only every 10 min?
That's all due to optimization of the app code and the os

Set localization to battery saving mode, and you should get better results on Android. IOS is better optimized though so you wont get the same results on android. Also if you suggest on battery stats you shouldnt comaper androids SoT and ios "device active" or something because they are not the same.
I know it's really bad. Look at my results. Can't even run for half day on battery

If you want really disgusting battery life, give the moto z play a try. My wife got one recently and it is unbelievable. +10 hours SOT over 48 hours with sync on and no battery saving techniques. It's only got a 3500 mah battery, which leads me to believe CPU efficiency plays a bigger role in battery life than optimization of the OS.

Because your device doesn't sleep, if it sleeps (screen is off) the battery drain should be way closer to a solid line that barely goes 1-2% down. Buy you are ilon Nougat CM 14.1? It's known that sleep is currently broken on 7.1 Nougat for Oneplus 3.

I think there is something really draining your battery or your battery is dieing.
Look here cb 8.
Download betterbatterystats this should give you a clear view what is the cause. Here an average drain of 1.7% per hour.

Hi I have better battery stats installed nothing significant in there too. I am. Running 4g all the time may be that's why the drain is so bad

thank you for all the feedbacks. Just wanted to start discussion about it!
Real life experience with my work iphone 6plus yesterday.
3% at 8pm...sync and all services on (gmail, location for google, facebook, ebay, instagram etc...) and running. Phone was ringing twice because of skype call coming in, but was not used...Next morning 7am still at 2%....
Android got better, much better, but still is far from that....pretty much the only part I like about IP
ip6?!?..
It's that a phone?!?..:laugh:
The Iphone has better battery life, easily.
However, the battery life on this phone is such that it shouldn't be a problem... Who goes a day or two without access to a charger?
If you are doing nothing but watch Netflix and play Pokemon all day, yeah, the OP3 will run out of juice... But at that point you don't have a social life, so you can hug the wall and recharge and not miss a beat.
Phone was at 98% at 1:00am and then 96% at 8:30 when I woke back up. All sync is on. No greenify or anything like that. I think standby drain is just fine.

Google has more services that sync in the background than apple by default, so things like location history (which I would recommend turning off) and sync for apps like Facebook that can't be disabled (unless you use Greenify) are the most common drains.

iOS does too. Here's a screenshot from my iPad. I was getting all notifications on time and did everything on it except game.
Over three weeks off the charger:

"Stand by 22 DAYS"..., hilarious. Apple drollery..
If I was a hardcore user, (which I'm not,) all that would concern me is whether my phone could last a day after a few years of use.
As a light user, its nice that my battery can go days but that's what it really is, a nicety.
Dunno about OP but my IP6 always had at least 8-10% battery drain overnight, and I never even had Facebook on it (just Messenger). OP3 is at 3-6% most of times, depending on how many times it got woken up due to notifications.
My battery life is just perfect.
Beta 8 Nougat.
Beta 9 is even better.
So seeing that development is dead on this phone, I'm stuck with the latest stock ROM as the other custom ROMs cameras won't work or have issues.
Are others having bad battery life on v7.4.2 or is it just me? I've tried location service disable apps/scripts and battery saving apps but it doesn't seem to help.
I would like to roll back to the older versions of the stock ROM but then it has security issues (thanks BLU /s). Is sitting on the latest stock ROM the only option out there that functions well (apart from battery life)?

well you dont have to stay on 7.4.2, you can go to v17 and compare battery levels.
Is your phone rooted and running Xposed Framework? I've tried both 7.4.2 and v17. In both cases, battery life was fine, until I installed Xposed. After that, I also started seeing close to 50% battery drops overnight.

I just installed v17, its a little better than before. Yeah I've tried 7.4.2 with and without xposed and I still had the same amount of drain.
I have the same issue
I'm having the same issue with my R1 HD, I think the battery usage is normal during the day but the problem is it drains overnight, I disable the wifi and data and turn off sound notifications when I go to bed. When I wake up I find the battery drained 15 - 20% over those hours.
I had the blu life pure mini before this phone and barely drained 1% overnight with those same settings, I also have the smart energy saving on but I don't think is doing anything.
I just got this phone 3 days ago and I really like it (it's much better than the life pure mini) except for the battery life issue. The phone came with v7.4.2 out of the box and yesterday I just got an official update to v8.4 but I haven't installed it yet 'cause I read somewhere that some people started having issues with this phone after receiving an update, although I don't think is this one because this is from may 5th 2017 and I think that thread was from last year.
Have you found a way to solve this and have you tried this update already? Is it safe? I don't know what to do because the phone is under warranty for 10 days (I bought it from a reseller) so if I can't find a way to fix this I could maybe consider return it and get my money back, although I prefer not to because where I live its pretty hard to get your hands on a phone like this at a decent price.
I wanted to upload an image of the battery stats but I just recharged it so maybe later, here is one of the update available.

Thanks for replying
I'm not an advanced user so I'm not looking to root my phone unless it fixes the battery issue. Unless this behavior is normal with this phone, draining battery while idle, because even with this the battery still last through the day. Its just that it didn't happen with my previous phone so I think there is a problem.
I wanted to know if there is a chance installing the official update will fix this and if anybody has had issues with the v8.4 because otherwise my phone is working fine.
I'm very new to this so any help I can get will be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I think I'm onto something with the issue, last night I tried again before I went to bed, turned of wifi, data, silenced notifications and turned on battery saver. Woke up 8 hours later to see the battery had drained 16%.
So I went over every detail of the battery stats and found that my phone is always awake, day and night. Something is preventing the phone from going into sleep mode and I don't know what it is. Only apps I've installed are twitter, instagram, whatsapp, UC browser, TY kids, duolingo, panda mobile security and an online shopping app. All the amazon apps are disabled and I turned off the automatic updates from the playstore.
Googling about this I found some people who had the same issue had fixed it by cleaning the cache an rebooting, I did this (with all apps cache) but it didn't work.
I'm going to install a battery monitor app to see if I can find something else, this thing is driving me crazy. Here are some screen captures of this morning.
