I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch and a Samsung S10 phone. Several times over the past week or so, my watch battery has completely drained in about an hour. I only notice when it vibrates at 15%. There doesn't seem to be anyway to get a notification either from the watch or through the Samsung Wearable app when it reaches 30% instead of 15%. Is there a way to create a task on the phone to notify me when the watch's battery level reaches 30%?
Thanks.
Sorry I have no answer to your question but as a user of the gw myself, what are you doing to drain the battery that fast? Do you have the 42 or 46mm version?

I have the 42mm. Unfortunately, I'm not doing anything. It is a bug with the watch (or phone). It happens to my husband's 46mm as well. It will suddenly just become unresponsive and burn through the battery. It can drain a full battery in about an hour. Several times, I've charged it completely before bedtime, put it on to sleep, and then sometime during the night it'll drain and turn off. Happens randomly during the day, too.
That for sure makes the watch unusable. I am using the 46mm variant and use it heavily for tracking sports and / or use the navigation while sport (eg riding bike). Even with this heavy usage I never had less than ~40% in the evening. For everyday use I get 3 days with 30 percent left with my medium usage setup, if I switch off some sensors I would even get more I guess. That's what you can take as a comparison for the 46mm watch.
Now how to get there? Don't try to spend time into tracking this drain with tasker or whatever, instead pull it by the root. Sounds like some app is misbehaving (in the background?). I would try to start looking for apps on the watch. What 3rd party apps do you AND your husband have both installed? Remove them, one by one, and watch the result. I have only 3 3rd party apps (GPS navigation, wrist camera and watchevents). If it doesn't get better after you only have the stock apps installed, you unfortunately have to make a reset to the settings. If the behaviour comes back after the reset with only the stock apps, send it back if you still have warranty.
Btw, you know that you can see the apps that are running in the background on the watch? I put this overview on the double tap action on the home button. You can also use this for further investigation, like close all apps instead of one, like the suspicious one and so on...
Keep me updated on the results!

How do you see which apps are running? I know through the Samsung Wearables app that I can see what apps have used the most battery since last charged, but unfortunately that is no help in this situation. I just removed a couple of apps that were on the watch that I don't use (Samsung Flow, and one or two others). Now the only uninstallable apps are Timer and Stopwatch. Everything else is a stock app (most of which I never use).
Thanks.
I don't know how it is called in English, so I roughly translate it on the fly:
- Settings
- Expanded settings (4th entry with the orange gear and plus sign)
- Double tab home button
- tick recent apps --> [x]
Now you get an overview of the open apps when you do a double click on the home button.
Why does it not help to see which app is using the most battery in the wearable app? Whas it a 3rd party app? System app?

Hi,
I noticed that after I charged my XZ using the docking station especially the launcher gets laggy until I reboot.
It's definitely not the launchers fault. Stamina mode is enabled and many user plus system apps greenified.
I'm running stock .253 unlocked with DooMKernel v7.
Did anyone experience the same issue and knows how to solve it?

is it hot? if so its probably thermal throttling.
I will wait for the next time and see if it's hot. But the CPU goes up to 1,5ghz, so it shouldn't be thermal throttling.
It also stays laggy for hours, the device sleeps well without any battery drain.

Could be. There issue seems to be solved for now. What I did:
- degreenify smart connect and smartcard services
- delete trickster mod and replace it with faux123 kernel enhancement
Damn, looks like it has nothing to do with charging or trickster mod. Homescreen and notification bar got laggy again..
Device is not hot. With mpdecision turned off it gets a little bit smoother again, but still not perfect.
I've got this problem sometimes after I take the phone out of the dock ( not oem ). I'm on locked bootloader, root .253 version no stamina mode, only Greenify
Do you think it could be caused by Greenify?
I flashed CM10.1 and after a day that fu*king phone got laggy again..

No, not Greenfiy, I think, in my case, it has to do with the charger, charging, docking mode something like that.

Finally.. I thought I was the only one having issues!..
Yes, after docking I occasionally have this problem. The phone just becomes laggy until I restart.
I don't use greenify since I don't root my phone. Tried killing all tasks, apps, to no avail
I have no problems on my XZ after docking it.

I'm not having this ``problem`` but very rarely, only 3-4 times in 3 months.
Hi
I just wake up from my nap (like 2H) and my battery lost ~15%. Just checked the battery management tab and saw this: (pic).
I tried downloading some task killers, didn't help. I even restarted my phone 3 times, still not better whenever I turn it on walkman is already on....
What to do?

Maybe it had been downloading music info? I'm not sure. Just kill the app manually
I could not kill it manually, when I clicked walkman app in battery management the options to force stop it where blank (Stoned). In the end I reset the phone to the fabric setting... Hopefully I dont see it now.. . Still afraid to launch this **** again.

yes, definitely.
So, I know the whole discussion around task-killers and Android - let's try and avoid that here.
I rediscovered this app last week, I had an old version but it updated from Playstore. I stopped using task killers a long time ago, but I'd forgotten that the approach Deep Sleep Battery Saver takes is slightly different: it makes sure that the phone is REALLY asleep when the screen is off.
Now people have said that it's wake locks clash with Android own.
I went ahead and tried it on the highest setting - slumber - and it's fantastic in both my P7 & P6, and also on my Lg2.
The only thing I have to remember is that when I'm downloading files that take longer than say, 2mins, I have to change my screen-on time to accommodate, otherwise it will stop the download as soon the screen goes off.
I found this is a small thing to remember given the battery savings.
I mean the difference is sooo large I can't tell you.
I put it down to this - we all have a variety of apps on our phones and we really don't know what keeps running in the background.
The Huawei Music app for example, is notorious, as is the Camera ago on the Lg2.
Deep Sleep Battery Saver shuts everything down, period. And it works. I'm absolutely stunned by how much later into the night I can use my phones with a single charge in the morning.
It's a little like GREENIFY but as I don't root my phones anymore, this was a great alternative.
Actually even better is that I don't have to go through my entire list of apps picking and choosing.
I just select SLUMBERER.
The results have been so fantastic on my P6 & P7, that I had to share.
The Lg2 is great with battery WHATEVER you through at it.
The P6 & P7 are gorgeous phones - with anemic batteries...it's always been the case.
With this app, I have discovered a while new sense of respect and use for my P6&P7.
Of course, once your actually using the phone, the drain is as fast as always, it's just that the savings you make in between are phenomenal.
Just saying.
DS Battery Saver can be found FREE on playstore.

P.S. Oh! Just remember to turn off 'enable logging' in settings-general, leave the 'show persistent notifications' ticked in notifications& language, and turn off ALL the 'battery notifications' in notification& language.
Those are the things responsible for wake-locks.
To save battery it works quite well indeed and I thank you for that. The only tiny issue is that I don't receive the calls anymore, only a text that says that somebody tried to reach me. No ring, no move, just missing calls. I could also turn off my phone to save battery...

I receive ALL my phone calls, ALL my texts, as they are, when they come in, as usual, asap, otherwise what's the point.
My email, Facebook, whatsapp etc comes in soon as I turn on my screen.
The App doesn't touch your ability to make OR receive calls EVER. Something else is going on with you.

This app is extremely useless once you install an anti-theft program.
When you install this program, programs like Cerberus, Kaspersky Internet Security anti-theft function or Lookout won't work as they should when you lose your phone (and the screen is off).

Yes.
If you're using an always on, anti-theft application, you're not really worried about conserving battery.
This app works if you need to get more life out of your charge.
Alot more.
That's how it works.

No it doesn't actually! The alarm clock over rides everything short of actually switching your phone off... And in some ANDROIDS even this isn't enough.
You'll be awoken, don't worry.
You'll also be amazed at the amount of battery life you suddenly have... I'm loving it! Just don't forget the p.s. end of post #1

Thanks, I can confirm everything is working as intended.
Just manually flashed the Android Wear 2.0 on my LG watch urbane at first it was slow and laggy and but then a day or two later it straightened​ itself out and it was like butter.
And the purpose of this topic is?
Mine is still really laggy after about 4 days.
Mind is unusabley lethargic.
Same here. A great smartwatch has become effectively useless since 2.0. Can't even answer calls on it anymore for cryin' out loud!
My watch was incredibly laggy and had terrible battery drain too. Today I did nothing different besides turning WiFi off and the lag is gone and the battery is similar to 1.5. (Which sucks since I used WiFi quite a bit, but at least the watch is usable.) I'm going to reenable WiFi tomorrow to see if the lag returns.

I just turned wifi off and the difference is night and day. Thanks, because I thought I was going to have to find a way to get 1.x back.
The UI is fluid most of the time, notifications come without delay but functionality seems to be down. I think Google has messed up Android Wear. Needs another major update imo.

Weird that it's seemingly such a randomly different experience for each user. My UI is laggy as hell, and the notifications only seem to show when they want to! It does vibrate when receiving them but either shows nothing (leaving me to swipe up to see what it is) or auto-pops up and takes up my whole​ watch face! Yet if I receive a phonecall, I'm lucky if my watch acknowledges it at all! Maybe, in 2 out of 10 tries?!
... Which leads me into completely agreeing with the downturn in functionality. On the couple of occasions my watch had picked up that I'm receiving a call, it only gives me the option to hang up! (Making my paid for Wear Speaker app effectively useless.) No way to answer from the watch at all. Same goes for notifications. Email for example, I can delete, archive or reply (all on the watch only) but I can't just tap to open it on my phone like I used to be able to! YouTube video subscription notifications are just that... Notifications! As the only option is to add to the watch later list. No option to open on the phone. Nothing!
Basically, it's great that they've added functionality that enables you to use the watch without the phone... But not at the expense of cutting out the phone completely! It still needs the phone to function fully, and is STILL only a companion product to go with a phone! I seriously don't understand how they've managed to screw this up so badly even after all the delays??! ?
It is weird because enough people report your experience for it to be just in your head. My was slow for a few hours but then sped up and is nice and at least as fluid as 1.5.
I did reboot and that didn't help. Factory reset made a huge difference.
Any ideas how to downgrade? My watch is practically usless... I hate the new update they've removed every single thing that made this watch remotely usefull
Yeah this update sucks on the urbane, everything takes much longer and isn't smooth... Good timing for me since I'm getting back into shape I bought a Fitbit charge 2 and will sell the urbane if it's worth anything.. I would like the Movado Wear watch but I'll make sure it's also not underpowered before purchase..
Thanks Google!

How can I install an apk in the watch? Untill now installing it on the phone was enough, but with 2.0 release it seems that you can only install programs with the play store installed on the watch. I suppose with adb I will able to install apks but does anyone know an easier method?

In the settings on the watch there is an option for something like 'apps on phone' where you can select which apps you want to be installed from the phone instead of automatically like in 1.5. It may be an option in the Play store on the watch. I don't have 2.0 yet, waiting for my Urbane 2nd Edition update, but I've read about it.

Exactly!!! You can find an option in the watch Play Store called apps on phone where you can download into the watch the apps you need.

Yeah, that option is missing now. Currently swiping down, tapping the sun symbol and then the watch-sysbol in the middle below seems to be the only way.
But at least after I did a factory reset of the watch yesterday and paired it again with my LG V10 the watch runs much smoother than before. Truth be told I have not installed all applications yet I was running on the Urbane before (like Watchmaker for example) but I will install one after another and check if the lags I had before reappear.
Mine had AW 1.1 out of the box. Upgraded to 2.0 and it was unusably laggy. Even tilt-to-wake was very delayed. "OK Google" would take over 10 seconds for assistant to come up.
My watch too has become barely useable. Google assistant can sometimes take upwards of 20 seconds to load. And there is a huge delay on my notifications, I don't even receive notifications for calls. Android wear 2.0 has definitely ruined my watch, which is sad because I love using assistant on my phone to control my Philips hue lights.
Did anyone contact LG or Google about this problem? Android Wear 2 made my device useless after just 1,5 years. That's unacceptable!
Hi, I get on my non-rooted phone the message in the status bar that tasker uses the battery. How can I get rid of this message?
Go to Settings>Battery, select the Settings icon in the upper right corner, then disable Power Intensive Prompt
No, that's wrong unfortunately. This will only disable the notification for power intensive apps, but not for apps that are constantly using the battery without being power intensive, like tasker. This notification is from the Android system itself. You need to disable all Android System notifications to remove it. If you don't want to do this, you need to live with the constant notification.
No, you're wrong. Since disabling the power intensive prompt I've gotten zero notifications about Tasker using battery. I've disabled none of the system notifications. I haven't had a single battery use notification since.

100% correct. I only saw it briefly when I first got the phone, was as annoyed as you were, did some reading and found the power intensive prompt switch. I turned it off and haven't received a notification about battery use since. I've even double checked my notification settings after the other fellow claimed I'm wrong but I can assure that I've not turned any notifications off in the system. It's possible we're on different EMUI versions that are behaving differently but turning off that switch should keep the system from alerting you of further battery use.
