My Moto 360 has been dying in about 4-6 hours the last 3-4 days. It appears to be around the time that recent update was pushed that rebooted my watch. Anyone else experince worse battery life since the update?
Mine has been slightly worse. I use to end the day with about 50% remaining.. Lately, it has been in the 30% range.
My battery was full when I left for work at 9:35am it is 1:33pm and it's at 22%...
I actually came to seek help for this same reason. Up til yesterday (maybe two days ago) my battery has been lasting roughly 16 hrs. Now I'm losing just over 10% per hour. Has anyone found a solution?
Add me to this list. Glad to know it's not just me, but it still sucks. Also noticing 8 - 10% drain per hour (per Wear Battery Stats). I've reset the watch, cleared out Play Services cache, uninstalled all other watchfaces, etc. Still the same drain, which seems to have started with the last update.
I know it makes a big difference regardless, but I turned off Bluetooth on my phone to see if the drain continued on my watch without it being connected. It stopped. In a hour I only lost about 3 percent. Could it be that after the update it is trying to sync too frequently or something to that effect?
I got the 5.0.1 update last night. I removed my watch from the charging dock this morning at 6 am and it is at 31% now at 1045 am. It is horrible. Wasn't this update supposed to be dramatically improving battery life instead of dramatically reducing it?
I had really good battery life before the update easily lasting through the day.
I hope there is a quick fix going to be issued shortly.
I hope the chaps at google are reading this thread.

So I had the same problem but I did a factory reset on the watch because someone in these forums told me to and now my battery life is pretty descent. About 12 - 16 hrs.
Can confirm, after updating to 5.0.1 battery life lasts like 2-3 hours... and its pretty laggy.
Motorola = fail !!!
I also have the same battery drain. After a 8 - 10 I use to have 60 - 50 %left now it is 10%. No new apps added. will try reset
Could it have something to do with the 1.0.5 Android Wear update? I was getting great battery life from 5am to 11pm, at around 30% left. Yesterday I was installing a new band and noticed it was at 15% around 6pm and then died about an hour after. Today I took it off the charger at around 5am and it's at 66% at 8:36am. This is ridiculous! I'm still on 4.4w.2 by the way.
Add me to this list, did the update this morning normally on about 60% now instead I'm on 11%.

So I don't know if something changed overnight, but I put my watch on a little over an hour ago and it's only loss 5%.
Update to my post from earlier. Was 66% at 8:36am and it just died at 10:30am. So, it's only been used for a little over 5 hours.
Are you guys using Facer by any chance? I ask cause I went from using Facer to using a stock face (Digital) and my battery life has improved drastically. I've now had my watch on for 2.5 hrs after a full charge and my battery is still at 91%.
I dont know if this will help or not......i also had the issue when i first updated the 360..........someone posted that a factory reset may work....
so i reset it....didn't quite help.....after 10 minutes or so...i noticed that the watch was quite hot...........i left it for about 10 extra mins and reboot the 360 again........after that....the battery life seems better......over the last 2 hours....i only lost about 7% of the battery......

I'm using Facer. I was just reading on Reddit that it could be because of the Facer update. Apparently the faces are using bits from 5.0. But, if you're on 4.4, the 5.0 faces cause the drain. Atleast that's what I was reading. I'm at work and don't have a charger. So, testing will have to be later.
I'm in the same boat EXCEPT I'm still on 4.4, not lollipop. However I do have the new version of wear.
Watchface gets HOT. I did a factory reset but battery life is dropping like a rock.
This happened to me once before, about 4 weeks ago. I solved it by doing a factory reset on my phone also.
are you guys all running battery wear status and other apps? i took my watch off at 8a this morning and at 12:35p i'm at 82%. i think that's probably higher than the normal 3.5% drain i'm used to seeing.
one thing I DID notice was that i ran the update with 100% and by the time i was done with shower, etc., it was already down to 87%, so i stuck it back on the charger.
Just an update. I went back to using a facer watch face. In 10 minutes my batter dropped 2%. Went back to stock face and a hour later it's only dropped 4%.

Recently I updated my tablet to the stock 4.4 room via the OTA update.
Since then, my battery life has gone horrendous.
Android OS takes up most of the battery when the tablet is idle.
With ~2 hours of screen time and a day on the battery, it has drained down to 30%.
Anyone facing similar issues?

So ive been using my G3 for about 10 days now and have been getting pretty bad battery life at work with airplane mode on and only wifi and wanted to really test out the battery last night by leaving it unplugged overnight. I usually keep my phone plugged in overnight but since it was the weekend i was home on saturday and it was in the charger for basically the whole day i decided to test the battery. I unplugged the phone at around 2:50 and took the screenshots below at around 8. I lost 29% of my battery during that time and i was SHOCKED!!! my phone was on 4G however i have really good service where i live and was on 4-5 bars all night. the phone didn't have bluetooth, wifi, nfc... ect active. The phone was on 15% brightness (if that even matters since the screen was off all night). Before i took the screenshots i went into battery and saw that an app called "lyft" was said to use 70% so i uninstalled it before taking that screenshots. I really don't know what i should do because i am rooted and have already installed a tempered glass screen protector. Please help if possible!
Screenshots: http://imgur.com/j3kbWyJ ; http://imgur.com/EZekrFw
Edit: Its 9:37 now and around an hour and a half after i uninstalled lyft. I am now at 68% which is better than last night however still pretty bad considering i had a screen on time since last night of just 6 minutes and 29 seconds. Here are the screenshoot updates: http://imgur.com/azs4SWK ; http://imgur.com/DNZu8n9 ; http://imgur.com/qrz4nrx
Edit #2: Battery life continuing to drain fast i have 59% which means i have lost 9% in less than 2 hours of virtually no screen on time. I am very concerned and don't know what to do? If anyone has had this issue please let me know. Screenshots: http://imgur.com/8nOgVgj ; http://imgur.com/lSywjj4 ; http://imgur.com/KqGYAVK

Looks like wakelocks only. my G3 has a great standby time, overnight with WiFi on i lose 3% or so for 6hrs. SOT is not that good, but the phone Deep sleeps well.
Try removing unnecessary bloat.
I installed Google fit the day it was released and my battery seems to be taking a big hit. I was getting 24ish hours with ambient mode on and now I'm not getting 12. Is anyone else seeing this?
I see no difference with or without Google Fit. Are you constantly syncing?
No. In installing it was the only change before the decrease in battery life. Wear battery stats doesn't show any apps using any battery either. Thinking I'll reset the 360 and see if it clears up.
How the **** do people get 24 hours with ambient on, when I barely get to 16 hours with ambient off and a stock black watch face and nearly zero usage of the watch?? I can't help but think I have a bad device and should return it...
what apps do you have installed? maybe its something else...

Well, i get up at 5 am and take my watch off the charger and when i out it back on at 11 it usually has over 30% which I'm assuming would be plenty enough to get me back to 5 am if i tried.
I only have Keep, play music, fit interval timer and wear battery stats installed...
I did see a reduction in battery. I didn't think it was Fit until I saw this post. I'm going to give it a day or two... Might be battery recalibration or something. My battery life isn't bad but before fit and the update I was getting about 40-50% per 12 hours... Give or take 10% depending on the notifications and such.

mine decreased significantly as well.
I was getting between 4% - 5% drain an hour. Installed Google Fit, drain increased to 10% - 12% per hour.
No apps installed except wear battery stats.
May be you should change location setting..use power saving mode instead of gps

My battery on the watch is more or less the same but my phone battery has taken a hit for sure .. fit is keeping my phone awake a lot!

Yeah I noticed this as well. I deleted Fit on my N5 and battery life appears to be better gain.

This is an update: no changes to anything except turning off ambient mode. Ambient mode was on and off throughout the day yesterday because I though that might have been killing the battery. I turned it off during last night's charge cycle to turn the screen off as usual but this time I didn't turn it back on. Normally, leaving on Ambient mode only takes 5-10% in a given day, so I can only assume that either I was moving a lot yesterday or something more sinister was going on.
Still using:
-Nexus 5
-Google FIT, Facer is being used, wear battery, a few other minor apps
-No changes to GPS settings, etc
The watch has been off the charger since 7:30-7:45 (100%) it is now 4:23 (75%) approximately 8 hours @25% , which is closer to my normal battery time. I've been receiving my normal notifications and I haven't even reset my device. Hopefully other people have the same results cause it really sucked last night to have a watch on my arm that didn't even work... lol
i've notice just a small decrease in battery, but not a huge one, i still took off the charger at 6am this morning and still have 51% right now, where as normally i'd have about 65%.
I was at about 55% when I installed the latest Wear update this evening. Three hours later I'm at 16%. Ambient mode off. Gonna keep an eye on it but that Wear update seems to be the culprit for me.
I suspect that the Google Fit is only using phone sensor at the moment and the Fit app is only syncing from the phone and not the otherway round. Checking Heart Rate history on the www.google.com/fit is also not showing anything.
When you check in Google Fit settings in the app, it doesn't show the Moto 360 as an connected device. Not sure if this by design.
How can the heart rate monitor and/or heart activity be turned off completely? I still get these "You've reached your daily goal" messages every single day, sometimes only minutes apart - it gets annoying, quickly. I've switched off all three sections in the settings menu, but it doesn't seem to do the trick.
Hello,
I need help about battery replacement,
Let's tell a short story:
I bought my Zenfone 2 from a technology supermarket (it's a national one, so it's reliable), a second-hand Z008. When I first bought it, it was running stock LP and I rooted it 2 days after. At that time my battery was still very good (>4 hrs SoT). 1 month later, I go on vacation, use it all day and get about 3hrs SoT. I accidentally bricked it then. I received it 1/2 months later from Asus service centre, battery life seems got worse (4hrs SoT). 1 months later, I went on vacation again, the battery problem started here. I used it all day and get 2hrs of SoT, but it drains very fast at 20%, and overheated (.69 beta MM), it went 20%-0% in a few mins. I wiped /data and the battery seems little better. 1 months later (recently), it started to get VERY BAD. after a full charge, 9mins SoT = 5% with Facebook on wifi. Only 2h30 of SoT with Facebook and Messenger. I've used all rom to check whether it was a software bug or my battery is facing a big problem. Stock LP, stock MM, CM12, CM13, AOSP has the same battery consumption : 2h30 of SoT. Now it charge very slow, it can't even reach 100% (very few times it can reach that).
Should I replace my battery??
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I sent it to service centre
Lol That must be my Z008?? which I exchanged with RN3
If you're rooted, check to see if anything is keeping your device awake for a long time with Wakelock Detector: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en
I had horrible battery drain one day, and I looked in WLD and realized that Localcast was keeping my device 'awake' (screen off still) the entire time.
If I have had my Note 10+ on charge all night, as soon as I disconnect it from the charger the next morning the battery drops down to 98% within the first few minutes without me using it.
It seems to last ok the rest of the day as I have around 60% left after 4h sot. I know it's not a big deal but my Mate 20 Pro would sit on 100% for the first couple of hours. It's probably just psychological, but it feels like it lasts longer when it doesn't drop so quickly.
I guess my slight OCD isn't helping which is why I always turn off the battery % in the settings so I can't see what it is, but with the Note, even if you turn it off you still see it every time you pull down the notification panel.
The battery calibration is just a bit off. My recommendation would be to ignore it.
A factory reset should reset the battery statistics.
Battery seems pretty good so far.

That's Android 9. I'm guessing you haven't upgraded to Android 10 yet? Wonder how's the battery on that
My battery percentage is similar. By the time I get off the pot in the morning, it reads 98%, that's generally anywhere 2-15 minutes in my estimation.
Mine too, I consider it as normal, the rest of the batt lasts as expected
Same here. But rest of the day Usage and percentages are still pretty good.

to everybody with battery quick drop
this is normal because samsung implemented a new measure of battery security and not let the phone to mantain full charge for a long period of time ,
samsung staff tweeted this 3 months ago
