Dear all,
Since 2 weeks my Wtach R suddenly shut down with battery level near at 80% and 50%.
You make a full charged, u can use it normally, but when you are near 78/80% it shudown, you hace to restart it, but it shutdown few secs after. Only way is to restart it from the cradle to charge again the battery.
No matter i try to reset, factory reset, resync the watch or my Phone (Lollipop 5.0.2) always the same issue.
When i look on battery Stat, Google Tells me 3h with a full battery charged. Other tools give me totally different and more logical Value.
@ this level my watch is useless
Any idea ?

Yes. First of all update Android Wear app on your phone from apk mirror to newest one - this will extend your battery life. Which google play services do you have?

I have no other idea what would be a problem. I didn't hear about such problems. Maybe try to ship your watch to warranty?

I tried also to downgrade the Android version...No luck...
It's like Battery indicator is totally crazy...I restart the watch, phone is out of bluetooth range...Just had few seconds to see that Battery was @ 13%, then, it shutdowns or crashed, but the watch is shutdown...

Hi, did you try something like this ? https://youtu.be/Kg8-vjZV2g8
Mine was doing the same thing. I tried factory resets, tried running the watch with no apps or custom watch faces installed, etc and it kept happening. I sent mine in for warranty repair. It is being shipped back this week so I'll let you know if LG was able to fix it.
I received the watch back from LG today. They stated that they replaced the touch id chipset. I'll put it through it's paces and let you know if this resolved the random shutting down issue.
Thread digging, sorry, although I'm experiencing the same issue the last few days... I have factory reset the watch changed ROM on my phone, but nothing works... It shutdowns at random times, although the battery is not less than 50-60%.
Its totally weird and I also have lost my warranty papers... :/

For the moment i do not have issue with my watch. The only thing i changed was a complete reset of my Phone (I flashed my HTC M7 with an other 5.1 distribution). Complete resintallation of my watch.
Sounds OK for the moment. In the past 6 month, only have 2 to 4 random shutdown...
So Lately my Galaxy Note 5 became pain in the butt. While watching youtube on "Youtube app" the screen turns to black, and then I have to pause or play, to have the screen back into play. Same happens with Netflix app I keep getting an error and it closes the app.
The other issue i am facing is battery drains so Fast. I leave the phone with a complete charge at night, and in the morning like in 6-7 hours , the phone is dead. Even if it is on battery saving mode.
I am with Verizon, and most of the time it is connected to WiFi.
I had this phone for 2 years, never faced issues such this? - Is there anyway to solve it, cause i do not want to change the phone yet. Also I have tried to do hard reset, everything, shutting it down ,etc.. it is not fixing the issue
Any suggestions? - Maybe it is the latest update causing the issue?
You might need to change the battery especially if you've done a hard reset among other things.
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?!!!
Anybody!? I am on OWR1.170919.018, AW2.7.0.178645119, Google Play Services 11.9.51 (530-177350961) Security Patch October 1, 2017.
This is driving me insane!!!
Wich batt % ? this watch have a high drain often > 8% by hour and worse on Wear 8.0.0

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.

Hope, just received a call on my watch, after 2 minutes talking watch suddenly shuts down and will not reboot.
Put on charger, 46% battery charge.
Love the watch, love the latest wear update, totally unreliable at the moment with this major issue.

Thank you
I would do a factory reset on your device and if this does not work, go back where you got ot and ask for a warranty repair or replace and show them proof of drain
Even my Nokia 8 doesn't hold charge like before.
