Perhaps this will help someone else who has the same problem as me...I can not claim to have solved the problem myself. I got some wonderful information from this thread in the Gear 2 forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758364
So, if you're experiencing battery drain in excess of 15-20% per hour, that would pretty much make your device completely unusable as you'd drain the battery in about 5 hours as mine was doing. I tried everything, including even replacing my battery thinking it was a bad battery. To see if you're having the same issue, try disabling your Bluetooth connection on the Gear. If you notice you're battery doesn't drain nearly as quickly, you might have the same problem that I had. Here's how I fixed it...
I saw that according to the thread linked above, the problem is most likely the "goproviders" app. I tried clearing cache and clearing data through the "Application Manager" in settings on the Gear. That didn't help. I also investigated the "saproviders" app. Tried clearing cache and data in Application Manager as well. Nothing there either.
I went back into application manager and compeltely uninstalled both goproviders as well as saproviders. I did nothing else. The Gear Manager application notices that these applications are missing and will automatically re-download and re-install them. I'm guessing my original download must have somehow been corrupted. Once these new versions were downloaded and reinstalled, I rebooted my Gear and then re-enabled Bluetooth. Now, my mattery drain using the Tizen Mod 3.0 ROM is roughly 2% every 1.5 hours with bluetooth on, brightness set to 2, and motion enabled.
Just as an FYI, I know the linked thread addresses non-Samsung phones but this fixed my Gear's connectivity to my Note 2 using the SkyNoteAir G2 ROM.
I hope someone else finds this useful.

I thought that fixed it for me at first, but it rather quickly went back to an 8% (or sometimes more) per hour battery drain. I tried all the other recommended fixes -- older versions of Gear Manager, wiping from Recovery, and various combinations, with no joy. Finally, after a few days of not using my Gear, I noticed several hours after turning it on one morning that it had never connected to my Note 4. Yet its battery life was still draining at 8% or so per hour. So, at least in my case, it doesn't appear to have anything to do with Gear Manager -- its either Tizen itself or (more likely) some preinstalled app that is sucking up the battery. I'm probably going to end up rooting Tizen and uninstalling a few things unless someone has a better idea. I can't imagine the stock Tizen install on a disconnected Gear would drain the battery like that, and not do it on everyone's, disconnected or no.
nobody has a battery monitoring application for Tizen? it would be a good thing ... I also tried everything and my gear starts to lose 9-10% per hour after a little while ... For info : I'm with a note 2 on DN4, it's was the same on 4.4.2...
I rooted and tried uninstalling a couple of things -- S Health, the pedometer. Same high rate of drain, and I can't think of any other app that might diminish battery life to this extent. I've now flashed the TizenMod 3.0 ROM, but I still have the same rate of drain (even though that ROM has a battery saving script built in).
So if it's not Gear Manager, and it's (apparently) not an app, it's probably something deeper because the only constant is the NF1 FW (the TizenMod ROM is based on that). I see from the samsung-updates.com firmware archive that there are a couple of newer FW versions -- NK1, released in November, and OA2, released last month. The available OA2 versions, however, are for Kazakhstan, Hungary, Germany, and Slovakia (plus the mysterious "SIO" region). Although I'm in the US, there's an NK1 version for the UK, so I'm going to try loading that and see what happens.
EDIT: updating to the NK1 version for the UK (which otherwise works fine) still results in high battery drain. At this point I'm wondering if Occam's Razor applies here -- maybe, at least in my case, it's just the battery itself.
FURTHER EDIT 2 days later: It's got to be the battery. I noticed that even when turned off, the battery is still draining. It comes off the charger at 100%, I don't turn it on, and less than an hour later it's at 91% -- without ever having been turned on.
YET FURTHER EDIT: It indeed was the battery. Replacing it brought new life to my Gear. Yay. Unfortunately, the battery cost $40 shipped (and required slightly more effort than, say, removing the back cover on a Note 4), but what are you going to do.
replacement battery
Hello,
were where you able to order a replacement battery. I have been unable to find one. Any help please and thank you.

Guys, I went to Vodafone store (they have Samsung service) and I complained there about battery life. They sent my watch for repair. 5 days later I got it with motherboard and battery replaced! No need to do it yourself. Watch has 2 years warranty.
Thanks Thanks Thanks
Same issue, same thing - it was the battery. Unfortunately, my battery had swollen up causing the watch to turn off every time i put it on my wrist. Opened it up to see if it was a bad connection, and found my battery had swolen up to nearly twice it's normal size. At least I got warning before it decided to vent with fire onto my wrist.
Found the battery via ebay, should be here in a few days. (here's the ebay item if anyone needs it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331347265389 )
Galaxy Gear S battery drain
I was loosing 15% per hour on my Galaxy Gear S and for the life of couldn't figure it out. All the literature said it would last for 2 days. I even asked the tech guys at Best Buy. They couldn't help me. However, I think I have stumbled upon the answer. I typically dont have the GPS locator service on my samsung note 3 phone turned on. When its on, it drains my phone battery faster than usual. However, when I turn it on, my Galaxy Gear S Smart Watch battery improves dramatically. The phone battery went from losing 15% per hour to about 3 to 4 percent per hour.

Was having similar issues. Noticed that my screen was separating from the metal bezel and decided to open it up. The battery was swolen, good thing it didn't catch fire on my arm.

I went to Sonera (Finnish carrier) store few months ago when the battery life of my Gear dropped to around 17 hours even when turned off and they said that the warranty for the battery is 6 months so I would have to pay to have it changed. Preordered Gear S2 the same day but I'm still waiting for it
Hi Guys,
I have an S5 - Had it for about a year. I have only a few apps installed on the phone (business stuff) - No games or gimmicky stuff.
The phone has been a pretty stable and reliable phone. About 3 weeks ago I got the 4.4.4 update. The update was automatic and went smoothly.
Since the update I have 2 issues.
First - Bluetooth - If the blue tooth is turned on on the phone, but I am not using a blue tooth device with the phone, when talking using the S5 speakerphone -every 15-30 seconds the phone switches to Bluetooth - even though the bluetooth device is not in use. And at least 50% of the time when I am within range of one of my bluetooth devices (Car Audio, Ear Piece, Xlink Home, Xlink Office) the S5 doesn't connect to the device. If I shut Blue tooth on/off it still won't connect. If I try to manually connect to the device it won't connect (devices are all listed and shown as paired. If I reboot the phone it still won't connect to the blue tooth device. Sometimes when using the phone in the middle of a call (not like the initial 30 seconds - but several minutes in) then the phone connects to the blue tooth device.
Second Issue is Battery Life - Like I said earlier i don't have too many apps on my phone. Prior to the update a normal day for me the phone comes off the charging stand at 9am with 100% charge - And goes back on at 6pm with 60-70%. Since the update every 2-3 days the phone goes from 100% to 40% within 2 hours - without me using the phone!
Any recommendations? Is there a setting I need to change to get function and reliability back ?
Thanks
Dave
Obviously there are ways to try figure out the issue... e.g. remove all paired BT devices from phone and repair them... check to see what's drawing so much of battery so quickly, etc. ... but given the fact that 4.4.4 is very stable build... and the size of the update to 4.4.4... I would do a factory reset. That resolves many known/unknown glitches. Personally I do it even though I have to go through setting up apps, etc. But it's worth it. That's just my opinion though.

After update it drains fast and i need to charge it every night. Same Apps and usage.
Before update i used to get 1.5 -2 days without charge.
No problems here w battery drain or bluetooth. I ended up odin to 4.4.2 clean install and update to 4.4.4 i go 18 hrs w medium use same as before

I also have the same battery issue after the updates. So do a few of my colleagues. The phone shows Android system battery usage as the highest. A lot more than the screen..etc. Any ideas?
Thanks
Try turning off the wifi for a day. That seems to be working for me.
I downloaded the tmobile update that got pushed out the other day and have noticed a significant drop in battery life.
A few people here have reported seeing an increase in available ram, I have not seen that change on my device.
I was previously on OH8 (Stock and unrooted) and would get 24-27 hours on a full charge, with 3-4 hours screen on time with the following optimizations:
-debloater used to disable as many things as possible without breaking features such as picture gallery, contact logs, etc
-disabled as many services as possible in app manager
-Android assistant used to kill-on-startup all non-essential apps that i use but dont need running all the time
-tasker used to shut wifi off when not at home/work
-tasker to turn synch on 2 minutes an hour to update emails instead of always on
-greenify to hibernate as many things as i can (non root)
-bluetooth always off
-dark/mostly black backgrounds
-automatic screen adjustment
-wifi calling + VoLTE disabled
for the update i re-enabled all items disabled with debloater just to try out all the functions, and re-enabled a few (2-3) things in app manager, today my usage at work was VERY minimal compared to a normal day, i would say I used it maybe a 4th as much as I normally do.
I highly doubt undoing debloater made such a significant change to my battery life, but will re-disable everything tonight and report back with results. for the record as of this writing I'm at 19% and it's just been sitting idle in my pocket since the attatched SS was taken
I believe the issue is detectable with the previously mentioned "check cell standby" method. go to battery > battery usage, click on cell standby, take note of total connection time, go back to battery usage and click refresh in the upper right, then go back into cell standby and see if total connection time has increased.
I have wifi calling and VoLTE disabled since learning of the battery drain issue this phones had and it solved the issue (cell standby time would not steadily increase), but after this update it has started increasing even with both items disabled
Also, this will be a good time to mention something I've stated in another thread:
My friend got a S6 (hes with ATT) and weve compared battery lifes at work, By the end of work I was in the 30's and he was in the 50's, I just browse the web lightly while he listens to youtube via his bluetooth headset almost non stop (screen on + bluetooth + data/wifi streaming), The next day he txts me at 2pm "19% left", i had charged that night and was already down to 75%
long story short: he gets up to 50% longer battery life than me on any given day (as I said, I can get around 24-27 hours w/ 4hrs SOT with all the above battery optimizations, he only has a few items disabled in app manager) so there is a significant battery issue with Tmobile's S6.

cell standby should not steadily increase and should not be that high, no.
follow my instructions in OP, if total connection time is increasing you are effected by the issue these phones have. If youre on OH8 or lower you can shut off wifi calling and VoLTE to resolve the issue, if you are on the latest update that came out yesterday, I have no idea how to fix it yet.
18 hours unplugged with 21% left. So far it seems decent.

Did you download the 9/10 (OH6) update? does cell standby's "total connection time" increase continuously for you with and without wifi calling and VoLTE on?
Check under advanced WiFi settings if the scanning always available option got toggled on after the update.
Mine did and it was causing quite a bit of drain
in my case, latest OTA infact improves the battery life. After OTA, i have rebooted in recovery , and cleared the cache. wifi calling and VoLTE is disabled as before.
update: re-enabling and again disabling wifi calling and VoLTE stopped "cell standby" increasing, the update must just bug it out. However I'm still seeing worse battery life than pre update.
From the battery discussion thread:
aff219 said:
New update: i discovered by enabling and re-disabling wifi calling and VoLTE "cell standby" quit increasing. For some reason the update must have bugged it but that resolved the issue.
I however am still experiencing worse battery life than before the update. 1 hr left at work and ive barely used my phone at all today, 36% left, it's been 8 hours off the charger. Normally id expect to be around 40-65% right now with how little ive used it. (depending on what combination of disabled stuff im trying)
Further more my friend with an att s6 charged his phone saturday n had it off charge since. Didnt use it all weekend until today at work with 20 min charge in car.... Been on bluetooth headset n listening to music/youtube all day. Hes currently at 39%
every day that i compare battery life with him pisses me off more and more. He's probably getting 2x as much battery life as me, without any tweaks or anything. just pure stock.

I had the update since yesterday and so far battery life seems better but gonna test it out for a week and see how it goes. RAM management is about the same however apps don't lag that much anymore. After the update Cell Standby started to affect battery again but enabling and then disabling WIFI calling and VoLTE cleared the problem.

This is my first time looking at battery since the latest stock update rolled out.
so I havent looked at my battery life since Friday (5 days ago) and this morning I check my phone and the battery is at 94% (charged all day yesterday, was off charger overnight), reported 8.5 hours off charger, that's less than.5% per hour - by far the best battery idle I've seen yet. ( I think prior to this my best has been like 4% an hour)
even more shocking, when going to battery usage it claims that I still have - this blows my mind - 33 hours and some change left before my battery dies!?
Prior to this, my BEST was like 21 hours quoted, with a norm of 13-18.
I have barely used my phone the last 5 days so the usage statistic is scewed a bit, but thats still higher than anything it's ever claimed before.
This friday it will receive ample use, I'll report back with what kind of results I get.
Amen, I'm not the only one who noticed. Also see almost all the old lag is back. I'm so disappointed in Samsung, I've held on to this because I really thought it was the best hardware around...they just needed to fix the software. The update previous to Samsung Pay rollout was 90% there in fixing. Now we're back to where we started from. Full disclaimer, this was the straw that broke the camel's back, I ordered the Nexus 6p
man ever since the update, my battery been not lasting as long as it used to. I used to be able to get thru a 10 hour shift with at least like 30% left. used to love the battery cuz it was considerably much better than my N4. now by the end of the shift, its near dead, if not dead. Another S6 in the family is even worse... its at home all the time on wifi and the battery drains like 10% an hour if not more.
hello,
just updated my note 5 to nougat 7.0.
realised there is a significant battery drain.
during my 9 hr of sleep, battery level dropped from 90% to 70% with mobile data off, GPS off, Bluetooth off, NFC off, sync off, google location service off.
I tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, didn't work.
I tried resetting app preferences, didn't work.
kernel and android system takes up most of the battery

1)Your probably facing deep sleep issue but AFAIK deep sleep is already fixed there in official nougat 7.0 by sammy, Primary solution you can try is to factory reset your device If not helps
THEN
2)Either wait for next official OTA release for your device Or Try any custom pre-rooted rom with Deep-Sleep Fixed on side of kernel
I have the same problem as you. My battery drain is horrible. I get maybe four or five hours before I have to plug it back in. When I have my Note 7 I could take it off the charger at 7 in the morning and at 10 at night when I got home I still had about 70% battery. I sent mine back for the recall about 4 months ago still haven't got my money back from Samsung. As I wait for that check I bought another Note 5 and flashed the Note 7 ROMs the S8 plus ROMs and every other ROM and this phone just has the worst battery life especially after using the Note 7. The best thing to do is find a light type ROM with a lot of bloatware uninstalled and run Greenify

You know I just bought a Galaxy Note 5. AWESOME price. And was made Feb 2017.. wow. I did by one a week before that. It was N920a. Made 2015. WOW was it slow. And still on Android would never update. So sent it back.. got this on N920I and was on 6. I never read anything about battery problems. And it updated to 7 RIGHT away. Loved it. I tried 2 programs ..had to do with themes. WOW the battery drained SO fast. NOTHING was running. So I deleted what I put on. Those two.. and over night only lost 3%. I cant speak for "ROMS". I ALWAYS root and put on some ROM. But this time.. I am going to wait. Right NOW is AWESOME.
Trust me.. had a Google Pixel... duh had to give it to kid that moved.. to get a job at Microsoft.. YES. So all I was using was ZUK Z2..which had a AWESOME battery.. only go down 1%. Oh.. but the camera.. when I use the Note 5....WOW..
So..there are THINGS programs we ALL love to stick on.. SOME can be.. as in my case be the problem. Theres just no way those two programs in my eyes could effect the battery. But reset over and over.. putting them on then not.. They were the problem.
All,
Title says it all. I have noticed that since I went from Oreo beta to OTA, the watch will just shut off after about 5-6 hours of usage and will not come back on until it is put on the charger for a few minutes. Usually the watch battery is % is variable. I have never had issues with this watch before. It is the unlocked (W280A) version. I have not tried factory reset yet, but that is the next step. I wear this watch infrequently (wear my Gear S3 and rotate other AW watches), so it's not a show stopper. When trying to reboot into recovery to wipe cache, sometimes I would get a menu, but no choices to wipe cache, and other times, the dead Android with the triangle coming out of his chest. WTF?!!!

Battery % is variable. It has even done this at 100%.
LG has issued me a RMA and instructions to return the watch for repair since it is still under manufacturer's warranty. Mod -- you may close this thread.

I know this is old, but maybe it will help someone else. In order to get to the option to wipe the cache you will need to hold down the center button on the side and tap the top button when the "dead Android with the triangle coming out of his chest" comes up. This will put you in recovery mode. From here you can do a factory wipe or clear cache.
Unfortunately, I am getting this as well. Exact same symptoms.
Sometimes it will shut down at over 50% battery...other times it'll run down to about 10-15%, and shut down when I wake the screen.
No amount of clear-cache or factory resets seem to resolve this issue. It seems like time and wear/tear is finally catching up with these watches.
I also have these same problems from time to time.
I have worn my watch everyday for the last 16 months.
As I use my watch as my personal phone with SIM card, when it happens, very annoying!
There is nothing new on the market with LTE functionality to update it though, that I am aware of.

Charge cycle for Lithium battery are about 300 (from 0% to 100% : ex 600 cycles from 50% to 100%) so in 16 months I think you reached the max charge cycle and battery is dead ?
Battery not dead, still get a full day, just sometimes it shuts down as described above.
Following the same issue on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/lgwatchsport/comments/90qv8a/watch_dies_and_wont_boot_unless_its_on_the_charger/
I am having the same issue with my Watch. I love this watch and it is completely frustrating that this is happening. Doesn't seem like it will get fixed either since this devices is coming close to EOL. If anyone has a fix let me know!
Mine did it again today, shut down wouldn't complete boot-up.
When home put it on the charger was at 21% battery.
Becoming unreliable, really want an alternative with LTE.
I understand the new Galaxy smartwatch LTE is being sold by EE in the UK when available, just don't want Tizen or EE!
....yet again, answered a call on LTE, 2 seconds later watch immediately shuts down and won't complete reboot. Put on charger, battery at 29%.
But yesterday the watch did 8am till 11pm with LTE switched on.
Presently it is totally unreliable.

This still been a problem I've put the watch into boot mode and ran the watch down until it has turned off with no reserve to even attempt to turn back on, then fully charged her back up to 100%.
See if this makes any difference.
Out of interest I measure the current draw while charging from 0 to 100%, 650 mah.
The battery is not that big but I guess there will quite a loss in transfer from the charger to the watch through induction charging.
How to fix this issue ?? i ran out of warranty already
There is no way around for this. The only thing I found a bit worked was to remove the Auto Brightness and disconnect Wifi, NFC and other connectivity except Bluetooth. That has helped me from draining the battery within 3 hours to 8 hours. Regarding the sudden power off and not switching on till you put on the charger, It has been happening me for the past 5 months (And I am out of warranty) and latest I had this problem was today morning and the battery was at 96%.
Edit: Contacted Google Support and LG Support and the solution they gave me was spend about 65-85$ plus 19.95$ for assessing plus shipping charges to get it repaired from LG.
same here. i suspect it is the always on screen. since disabling hasn't happened
I'll give the always on screen 'off' a try, I'm not hopeful.
Still had the problem with the latest wear update too.
