I have an SGN3 running a Zerolemon 10000mAh battery. I have a Gear 1 . Last night 2 apps..saprovider and goprovider drained 80% of the phones huge battery alone. WTF? Gear was off. This seems to have manifested itself following a Gear Manager update. Not very happy about this. Is there any way of removing the update in an uprooted phone?
Get it sorted Samsung....not acceptable

OK, I just upgraded my (rooted) Note 3 from 4.3 HD 7 to 4.4.2 running Hyperdrive RSL8 ROM. I actually forgot to connect my Gear One back up after upgrading. So, after a couple of days I remembered it was not connected. During this time battery life on my Gear was normal...i.e. lasting all day and then some. So, I connected my Gear to my phone and now I am seeing severe battery drain. It went completely dead yesterday. I charged it up overnight and took it off charger this morning around 7:00 am and now it is 11:30 am and my Gear is down to 46%. I am now at 35% at 12:05 pm.
Is there some problem with the Gear and 4.4.2? I am running the Tizen software on my Gear, which I have been running for a couple of months now and I actually saw improved battery life once I upgraded to Tizen over the old firmware on the Gear. But after the 4.4.2 upgrade on my Note 3, my Gear is horrible.
Suggestions?
Well, must have just be a fluke. I reset the Gear and redownloaded Gear Manager and since then seems like the battery drain issue is gone. Hopefully, for good.
I received my new lg g watch r yesterday and so far as much as I'd like to use it it won't last long at all off the charger. Got it at 30% and it up out of the box. Whilst trying to charge the watch it was losing charge whilst on the cradle.
It was at 90 percent this morning and within less than 30 minutes it was at 32 percent.
I've factory reset the watch and factory reset the nexus 5 it's paired to and both running stock up to date software but still horrific battery drain. It's draining faster then the charger can charge it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to return this shock peace of kit
Sounds like you need a replacement - if both devices are totally stock, and it can't even provide enough power to charge, there might be an electrical short within the watch.
Yeah thats not right, yesterday i took off charge at 7am 100% screen on all day, lots of fiddling, it died at 1.20 am. so 18 hours use. Sounds like you have a duff battery.
I used to have bad battery life. I would get about 12 hours with my device. When I got it, I played heavily with it, and ended up enabling bluetooth debugging. I didn't think much of it, but later when trying to solve my battery issues, I disabled bluetooth debugging and now I get about 2.5-3 days of battery life! Before discovering this, I tried switching to digital watch faces, no weather, steps, etc on watch faces, but that barely affected battery life. The bluetooth debugging though, if I enable that again, the watch dies in 12 hours again. It's a huge difference for me, not sure how bad it is for others, but be aware that this can impact battery life quite dramatically.
Im not sure if im correct but i guess you have let it at least 4-6 hours for the 1st charge (by this you increase battery life ) so my opinion is to call lg and exchange it because the lg gives 1,5 days of battery life
I'm losing 3-5% an hour at idle since getting my watch on Friday. Before that it was less than 1% per hour. I'm down to 13% with under 10 hours on battery and less than 2 hours of screen on time. Only difference is the watch.
At this point, I'm planning on giving the watch one more day and if the battery is the same tomorrow, it's getting sent back to Amazon.
Anyone else have a smart watch and have horrible battery life on the phone?

Hi ,
Firstly, i have to say ( to me ) it is strange that your device uses so much battery ( 3 - 5 % per hour ? ) .
I do not have Gear S2 , but an old Gear " 1 ".
For pointers i connect my Gear 1 ( Bluetooth ) ,Polar hart rate watch ( Bluetooth ) and my Bluetooth cheststrap , H7 ,all via Note5 and go for a run and exercise.. etc for about 2 / 2.5 hours and i might loose about 5% battery .Using only my Gear ,for about 4 hours my Note5 might lose about +- 3 % To me this battery use is acceptable ?
Hope you sort it out !
good luck
Maybe it has something to do with Google Locations (as the watch needs Google Now to be useful) and/or device administrator having device tracking on both for Google and Samsung tracking. I found when I first got the Note 5 it only had 12hours of battery due to high idle cpu speed thanks to GPS always being on for them apps (Locations,Google Now and device tracking). It took like 5-10% a hr just idling with screen off. Anyhoo go to youtube and search for "Note 5 battery drain" and follow them instructions .. Also install Greenify or some other wakelock killers like amplify for Xposed (if you can even get root/xposed)
I think it might have to do with one of the Watch faces you installed. I had the same experience after installing a few new watch faces and once I removed those, it seems to be back to normal. Try it!
Well bought this phone back in mid 2017,and because of sickness I haven't used it that much at all.
I charged the battery 11 times so far and was keeping the phone in a desk drawer.
A month ago I noticed that the phone won't turn on,so I plug the charger on and charged the battery to 100 %.
I supposed that the phone was on,I didn't turn it off,and the battery left to 0% and shutdown the phone.
I really can't say how long it was on 0% (suppose like maybe a month).
Today I noticed very bad battery results.
Batterylife with GSam Battery Monitor is around 12 h only.
Was the "bolded text" the reason that battery died or the reason was not using the phone for 2 years?
Is there a software to check the damage of the battery?
I installed accubattery pro but for some reason doesn't offer me Health status of battery.

I would give the battery a few full cycles to see it that sorts it or yes, the battery it would seem is on its last legs. I don't know what app to recommend as an alternative though. (My battery is 23 months old and still performs as it did when I brought the phone)
I would drain it to 5% (maybe 1%) then charge it to 100% (without using phone while charging) a few times.
Then see how it goes. Afterwards charge phone from 20% or 15%.
Ok.I will charge it to 100% and report you with results with duration time on battery and you tell me how bad is it
GSam Monitor:
Battery Life: 3d 19.9h (5h 26m active)
Screen On:3h 40m (1h 17m Max)
In Android: battery estimated battery life: 2d 1h
Hi I noticed that my watch battery drains so fast. I charged it at noon and finished the charging at around 1 PM and after 4 hrs of not even using it much, it's down to 65%.
I would like to return the watch if the battery drains like this so fast. Any advice?
This was my fear about buying the watch. My Galaxy Watch lasts about 6 days on a charge. Try factory resetting it, maybe. Something might be stuck running.

How long have you had it? There is a period where you are playing with it more (without realizing it) and it also takes the battery several charge cycles to balance out the battery and measurement.
To troubleshoot:
Go into the Galaxy Watch app on the phone and look and see what is draining your battery. If it's a watchface, change it to test. If you don't notice anything unusual, factory reset the watch and do NOT restore the backup. Run it for some time in a "vanilla" format (no apps / watchfaces / no modified settings). If it STILL drains .. you might have an issue.
I have the 45mm LTE SM-R845U. Have LTE on, WiFi on, Bluetooth on and connected to my Note 10+. Currently 1 day 14 hours 14 min on battery and setting at 34% battery available running in standard power mode.

Thanks Wattsja! I'll do it today.
I'm actually playing around with "I'm Alive" for a true AOD. I'm still analyzing, but my current burn is @4% an hour with a constantly visible second hand (the non-continuous quartz motion). That's a 45% OPR, for the nerds (vs. Samsung limitation of 15% in dim mode).
I have a much more involved work around that is potentially a little better, as I suspect an active display looking for touches and gestures is a significant battery drain in this scenario. If I can get the burn down to 3% per hour, I might just keep this watch
I agree pretty much what others are saying here. Batteries need time to settle, and there's a lot more interaction with your new toy and lots of stuff updating and installing, far more than you think. It's exactly the same with phones.
So give it a few days and you will see it improve to your expectations.

I experienced intensive battery drain. Bluetooth seemed to be in a faulty status. Watch battery duration was less than one day (SM-R800 46mm). Solution was as simple as unpairing the watch and re-pairing. No need to reset.
In a previous occasion battery drain was simply due to Wi-Fi on.
