Factory Reset Helps Battery Issues - LG Watch Urbane

When I first received this LG Watch Urbane, I was extremely skeptical about those who claims to be able to last for more than a day. I was only getting about 18 hours a day a the most with a battery consumption of about 5% an hr.
However, I factory reseted my watch couple of days ago cuz of erratic battery drain causing from the new firm ware update.
Since then, battery consumption has gone down as low as about 2.5% to 3% an hr. Now, I have been able to easily stretch into the next day with a moderate usage on a single charge.
Please note that I have always had my brightness setting at 2, "always on" function on, and flip-to-activate watch off.
Yesterday for example, I took my watch off its charging cradle at 10:30AM and 12 hrs later, i realized the battery was still at 74%.
Hope you guys find this helpful in some regard.

Very less battery drain, what did I do to make this change?

Last 3 weeks or so I have been optimizing to save battery power, read most of the thread but the best I could get was 12-16 hrs, surprisingly today last 12 hrs since I charged it fully, it has ONLY consumed 27% till now, daily usage include checking mails & making calls & xda forum browsing mostly.
I am concerned as to what made my battery so good suddenly as I want to follow the same foot steps, only thing i did differently is that I completely switched off phone (1st time ever while charging) for 2 hrs when the phone was charging.................could that be the reason for so good battery life?
After 24 hrs it shows 38% left (2hrs of extensive use in the morning with music in background), that is unbelievable to me, can someone help as to suddenly what is making this battery life so long?

[Q] Very bad battery life? help!

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

Battery Issues

Hi All
I bought Nokia 7 Plus yesterday and set it up, but the battery drain so fast. I left my phone to sleep with wifi on throughout my sleep it drains 10% with just pushing notifications from FB, like everytime I will get FB Notifications and not open it it will drain 1% of the battery.
Remove fb and see magic
U just answered to your question. It's not the phone, it's just crappy facebook app.
Facebook Lite is the way to go if you need FB, I think - normal version eats battery a lot, and I'm not sure if that will be fixed at all - seems like they don't care.
If you have to use Facebook, use Facebook lite or alternative apps like Friendly.
Hi, I got Nokia 7 Plus yesterday and started using it today. Initially with the battery percentage came with package, battery draining was slow. After doing first charging from 21% to 100%, battery is draining too fast. It is common for some batteries and takes some charging cycles to get battery optimized. If battery draining is happening too fast even after 3 to 5 charging cycles then there would be some fault with battery.

I got my phone day before yesterday & its now running Android 8.1 with the May security patch. Since the time of use, I've charged my phone only twice & both times charged it up to 100%. I feel the batter is draining. Please have a look at the screenshots and let me know if the battery consumption is fine or its draining fast. The battery dropped by 1% in 4 mins of the phone being idle with the display closed. Also the stock camera app is consuming a lot of battery.
I can confirm a very hard drain, too. No way to reach 7-10 hours of usage.
i'm getting about 5-5.5 hours of sot with moderate usage... Checked the app usage..where it shows PUBG used 12% battery in 38 min, 45 min of youtube drain 8% 26min Instagram drain 5%...I don't use fb much on phone when needed i mainly use fb lite... .i don't use auto brightness. so my brightness level is always 45%.. in overnight( well it's like 5-6 hours) battery percentage dropped 4%.. Wifi is always on and GPS is always on high accuracy.. in power saver 19 apps are allowed for background activity...
Battery drain
I just purchased my phone yesterday and used it for some time. I put it on charging at around 20% and didn't use it until full charge. After it got completely charged and then I just used it for few mins it went down 100% to 95% very fast; later after few mins I started suffering net and did misc stuff for about an hour it went down to 85%. Next morning I saw the battery % was 81%. Is this normal? I mean how can it last for 2 day as the company claimed. Aslo I am android 8.1.0

This has been a comman issue with Nokia 7 plus, including me. My battery had high discharge rates in both Oreo and Pie. However, post March security update, I am seeing some good battery life. I would also suggest to update to Pie and update Device Health from Play Store. Hope it works out for you.
try letting the battery drain to 0% then charging it to 100
TA1062 with build 00WW_3_51F here.
Before the march update, the phone could last for almost 2 days with moderate usage.
After the march update, I barely have 5 hours of standby time, and like 2 hour of usage time. This is crazy ! Not heating, but also randomly shuts down while it says like 65% remaining battery. I haven't changed anything else !!!
Does anyone have any idea how to improve this ?

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Battery Draining Fast!

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.

Battery Drain 2 % per hour on standby

Hello i have, from now 3 weeks, a battery problem, well two. I don't know if that's related but since i connected to the uni wifi this problem started to occur (after i restarted the phone.)
So i loose an average of 2% per hour on standby and even when the phone is off.
Just for a comparaison there's a screen from the 19th of september and one from today, the battery go down even when not in use but also the battery usage of apps seems high, and is incorrect as i can see that it doesn't use that much battery.
Does someone have an idea of what can I do ?
I already cleared the cache once, did all the updates
