Have you noted that Whatsapp beta is draining your battery? I have testd and my GW5 have passed from 2% per hour to 4.5% per hour.
How is your experience?

I noticed massive drain, so have unistalled for now.... shame as was decent enough for watch app
No drain for me
Notes.
I only receive notifications now for muted groups, not actual contacts.
It updates every single message individually.
It seems nice but it's mostly less convenient than the default system
I think it's a fairly poor app. Messages come in much slower, it graphically looks wrong, like the ppi is wrong, I don't know, and it's not easy to reply on. Better than nothing but it's just hard work. !!

Hi, I am currently using LG Notification App to alert me via the touch leds if there is any notification on selected apps. As you can see from the picture, sometimes it uses up too much battery, I don't quite understand why.
Is there a more battery efficient app that can do the same thing? I mean 40% is huge piece of the batt drain for just one app and I want to avoid it if possible.
Thanks.
Sorry forgot to upload pic!

I'am using the same app and it doesn't even show in the list...
Take a look at the logged notifications in Settings->Advanced. Is there any notification listed you didn't react on or an activity that often happens?
If yes, you can exclude that from the notifications under Settings->Main->Notifications->Excluded activities
Maybe you might change the default feedback to somewhat less powerconsuming... blink just shorter for example (I have 25ms-100ms-25ms-2000ms, therefore an average LED duty cycle of about 7% much less than the default setting).
As I said before, it happens sometimes. I use it mainly to know if there is any whatsapp messages, and some days I do get alot of messages from whatsapp app.
My logs are disabled in the LG notifications app. So no logs
Here's another picture after making a full charge. This picture and the previous one all happened within 12hrs.. so its within the same day and not a screenshot from days before etc.
Thanks.
Well, this one looks pretty ok to me...
Next time this happens you can try to track in OSMonitor how much CPU it consumes and therefore whether the app prevents your CPU to clock down.
In that case you need to enable the debug output and the notification log to find the app originally causing this, probably by generating too much notifications...
Ok thanks!
Hey people am I the only one that watch styler is killing my battery? I have a lot of wakelocks on this. I formatted and re-install null and the styler again and have the same issue.

Nope. This is Watchstyler. If you want to save battery, use some other widgets like UCCW or Zooper.
So it's normal? Do I have the latest gear firmware? I used to have mk7 but after flashing null I got this

I threw out this exact same post in the Apps section here in the "Show us your Watchstyler Gear or whatever thread" Some others reported the same thing while others showed that their battery life was unaffected by Watchstyler and that they were easily getting 2 days plus out of a charge. I proposed in that thread that someone open a discussion about this so we could try to pinpoint why some have had success and others haven't with watchstyler - battery drain issue.
Thanks for posting this. I fall into your category exactly. With Watchstyler widget active on the Gear, I get 12 to 16 hrs battery whether I turn the gear on and off through the day to view things or not.
Without Watchstyler widget and using the built in Digital Clock/Weather one, I recently nearly got 3 full days without charge.
Would be nice to get to the bottom of this as I would enjoy some of the many nice creations by users of watchstyler themes on my gear.
tried a few programs like gsam battery monitor and wakelock detector. All say same thing. I get more than a thousand wakelocks on watch styler. Have tried formatting reeinstalling and playing with the governor settings. The problem is the wakelocks of the watch styler. I even tried hibernating the program with greenify however when u turn the screen on the program doesn't activate so u dont really see the correct time just a freezing time
Possible solution would be to automatically freeze or hibernate the styler once the screen is closed and when it's on automatically reactivate the app to get the correct time. By tapping on the screen or something else. Anyone up for the task?
U can clearly see the problem on the greenify pic I took. See the schedule? It is set to wakelock all the freekin time!!
I don't know about u but when I see such apps wasting my battery with silly wakes, I get mad. I don't mind charging every day but for the right reasons like tethering.

isn't the problem with how watchstyler work itself?
once you set the clock on your phone, is it being cached on the gear? because i think every few minutes/hours phone is pushing the whole watch theme again, and again, with updates.
I don't really know how it works. But surely it's the application's fault. I am open to suggestions though.
i found out watch styler drains too much battery life for my liking so i ditched it.

It does indeed. If it was a small drain It wouldn't bother me especially with these cool faces

I believe most of the faces could be rather easily recreated in UCCW/Zooper.
That would solve the battery issue.
Yea, I placed the watchstyler widget on again just for kicks and lost 20% battery drain in 2hrs without even touching or turning the screen on the gear. Totally unacceptable when I can get nearly 3 days battery using the stock digitial/weather clock widget. I miss not being able to enjoy the many great watch face creations though.

so am i right? watch face is not really cached on gear, it has to be pushed from the phone every few minutes..
refreshing every time it has to be displayed, just like built in contacts that takes few seconds to load.
So do I need to remove watch styler from the phone to get better battery life? or just dont use the widget?

On mine all I have to do is not use widgets. Get 3 days on weather clock. About 8 hours on any widget.

Same here. I've left WatchStyler on my GS4 and just replaced the widget on the gear with the weather clock and I get about 3 days.
I'm still hoping some of the enthusiasts from the watch styler thread who claim 2-3 days battery using watchstyler widget chime in to this thread with some possible fix or workaround but I can't imagine there could be any.
i charge my phone every night along with the gear...whats the big deal about charging it? i use watchstyler widget on stock TW and usually have about 50% left after using it from about 7AM-12AM...
I need more tests to be sure, but my method seems efficient :
App Quarantine Pro on my phone, so i can have a widget to freeze WatchStyler.
Per App Hacking on my watch, so i can prevent WatchStyler to get Wakelocks
Hi,
I'm just missing the notification LED in the X2 Pro, I tried NotifyBuddy, Always On Edge Lightning, flash notifications but they are not working or battery hungry apps.
Aren't you missing the notification LED? If so are you using something?
I use NotifyBuddy and I like it a lot.
NotifyBuddy dont drain my battery.

I will retest it so and keep updating this thread.
I also tried out the aforementioned apps and stuck with NotifyBuddy, haven't noticed an usually large battery drain at all and it works for eight various messaging apps each day.
Notifybuddy works very well, no battery drain and completely affordable. I have removed battery limits from app settings and has it blocked in background. Really i have no issue with it.

I do try NotifyBuddy but I fell uncomfortable because the fingerprint scanner is not active. Looks like the app overlaying on top of the fingerprint scanner. So I need to wake my phone before I use fingerprint.
Can we enable to make fingerprint active when AOD is displaying?

When you receive a notification you can set double tap to wake, for me is very comfortable, because i have face unlock enabled and that combination works very well.
I don't know about aod, i have never used it.

I seem to find notify buddy works (most of the time).
But according to the battery stats, it's draining the most battery. I'm not sure how accurate it is because it doesn't feel like I'm losing that much battery with it.
Had anyone actually verified the battery drain?

did you give it adb permissions?
Turn off all power management and find the trouble causing apps.
Doze apps will just cause trouble.
Android will run fine by its self; using any power management will cause erratic behavior and... excessive battery usage.
More than likely it's Goggle Play Services or one of it's dependencies like Transport that's sucking a lot of the battery.

Hard to say which apks are to blame but this is a prime offender. 3rd party apps including Samsung's bloatware can do it.
Trash apps like FB, WhatsApp etc.
Power management can also do it by creating conflicts and endless polling.
Power drain should be well under 1%@hr with always on AOD off.
You need to track down the offenders. It will be much harder to do on 10 and above then on Pie because of stupid Google app security protocols.

i've seen videos on AOE and Notifybuddy apps. but are they safe to use?? and how much power they consume on regular use?
I have same question. Surprised, that phone has no support of Always on Display like it was on my previous samsung. AOE require rights to read your messages, that is not inspire confidence

It has AoD support.
Though it's not as feature rich as I would like.
AOE needs to read messages so that it can see that there are messages.
I think that android ( at least miui ) blocks apps from seeing that there are messages even if they have permission to see notifications.

No, only 10 seconds can't be called an AoD.
They should call it a 10 second on display or something like that. Everything except Always On because it isn't always on.
It's also totally useless because instead of a single tap to view the "AoD" you might as well doubletap and view your lockscreen.

The issue seems to be there for years, Note 9 and 10 were also restricted for 10 seconds.
I guess Xiaomi wants you to buy the Pro model which has true AoD.
I send them an email and their response is that they don't offer full AoD because it drains the battery. They want you to enjoy full battery life they said.
