Worth the change? :) - Sony Smartwatch 3

Hello,
I've the Galaxy Gear 1 (that has its limitations) and I am planning to change it to the Sony Smartwatch 3. Is it a wise change? Anyone in the same situation?
Thanks.

I'd say the battery drain issues are fixed. And yes, this watch is definitely worth the change.

I am coming from Gear 2 and I must say the overall experience is better.
It is smooth, lots of apps, and it handles notifications much better than the Samsung (what is the main reason for a smartwatch).
Not everything is better, I miss the led screen and Te 4 day battery life.
Also the random battery drain is still an issue....
Overall I love the watch would not go back mainly because the better overall experience.

I;m thinking of this exact jump.. Gear 2 to SW3. Were you on tizen or android wear on gear 2? What are a couple of key features you like about sw3 vs gear 2, aside from notification. I am hoping that GPS is good for golf.. Aside from battery life, are there any other drawbacks?

[Q] high battery drain

I've got the n7105 and from the start have noted battery life significantly worse than reported by users here.
I usually have lte disabled signal strength is typically good.
This is without heavy usage and lte disabled.
Any ideas or ways to find the culprit.?
Thanks
Do you close every app after use? Make sure to kill it every time you close.
I see MAPS is running. Make sure to turn GPS off when not needed.
Screen will always take up the most depending on brightness.
Delete any apps you don't use or think that are messing with it also.

Also, after 4 hours at %78 is pretty darn good. regardless of use.

Root booster longer battery better stability and speed

This app is the single most amazing app I've used for my device. I encourage anyone who reads this to install root booster and try it. I have the full version, I wanted more battery life. I run a rom that I currently get 6 to 7 hours on screen time. I use to without this app get only 2 to 3 hours on screen time. I know it works and wanted to share it with my xda friends. How I tested it was to do my best to get as much on screen time as possible. Then I did the same but with the battery boost on this app. If you like it please shoot me a thanks and post and tell me what it's done for you. I first say my improvement when I was at 3 hours on screen time and I had 50% battery still left. I was shocked. Normally I'd be at 1%.

Where's the app?
I am assuming he is talking about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-root-booster-boost-performance-t2909836
Google Play link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ram.memory.booster.cpu.saver&hl=en
Gotta say this app works!
I was skeptical at first to pay $1.30 and see an improvement but I was wrong. I paid the $1.30 (google opinion rewards gave me the money for that, great app too) and turned on the battery boost and I can see SIGNIFICANT increase of battery. Especially on standby. As well as browsing and watching videos. If you struggle to get an extra hour on the phone Buy This!
I'm running Alliance 4.4.2 with a lot of xposed mods. 2hrs screen time at 50% with Root Booster and that's exceptionally good! What's even more amazing is that I sense absolutely no lag or slower run of the phone.

Poor battery life

I have an LG G3 16GB and have been disappointed with the battery life for some time now, with the Android system typically being the culprit according to battery doctor with it using 64% on average. Oddly when I go into android settings and view battery use it's telling me the usage is...
Android OS 17%
Screen 17%
Cell standby 12%
Android System 8%
So battery doctor is telling me one thing and the native battery use app is telling me another.
I do find the phone get's quite hot around the camera area which is annoying as I am a light user. When I view the battery doctor app it's telling me the amazon apps (kindle & shop) are trying to restart 40 or 50 times over a period of an hour.
Anyhow would I be better off downgrading to Kitkat or maybe trying another ROM such as CM12. Any other suggestions welcome?
What's your SoT?
I'm assuming that you're on LG Stock Lollipop ROM. If that is true, go ahead and check Gabriel's Kernel and apply Bullet's or any other settings that suits you. My phone used to suck battery real fast, but I factory reset my phone and flashed Gabriel's Kernel and applied Bullet's settings. It helped, to say at least. I got 3.45 SoT unlike before (2.40 SoT). So yeah. Also, don't forget to use greenify. Currently I'm on AOSP and the battery isn't that far than stock with Gabriel's Kernel. Note that sometimes the kernel lags.
Hit the thanks button if I helped you.

After you take the OTA update, do a factory reset, it helped my battery.

Having the same issues, I think it's a few misbehaving apps. Haven't narrowed it down yet but I have noticed bluetooth is showing up high on the list of battery users.

A70 Android 10 Problems

Is it true..?
Android 10/OneUI 2 update is worse.
1.Charging time increased & Battery drains fast.
2. Front camera of 32MP is depromoted to 21MP.
3. Quick Panel is restricted to 2 screens. It's feels more bulky(optional)
4. Font size is little bit high compared to usual sizing.
Yes alot of user are stating about battery issues and finger print reader problems along with increased charging times.
It looks like android 9 update for time being is stable enough for daily driver.
Some people are also stating that android 10 feels lots smoother and fingerprint scanner animation is reduced so it feels quicker with less fails
Let's wait a couple of week for all the news and fixes to pour in before deciding to upgrade

Ao which region do u have A70..?
The fingerprint animation is smooth and smaller than the previous one also the fingerprint scanner is faster than it ever had, plus minimal reading fails. Another thing noticeable is that face recognition is super fast now takes u directly to home screen if u want. On the down side we can say that the charging times have been increased noticeably as also the battery drain. Sometimes u may have heating issues it at random times. The overall ui is now fluid and smooth as compared to pie with smooth transtions and animations.

Mine was like that the first day, now it's fine (same as on android 9). I haven't done factory reset, just cache wipe and everything is working good and smooth for now.

And what about charging time with stock super fast charger and cable and super fast charging option checked in phone settings?
Kindly report deoes it takes as long as some users are stating.
Because on 9 the phone charges from like 3% to full in 1 hr and 15 min

Can't really say much about that at the moment because I usually charge my phone during the night.
The only issue that I've had is higher battery drain, even when idle (overnight) but I flashed with Odin weeks ago and didn't factory reset (yet).
The benefits outweigh this higher drain even if it is permanent. Access to project mainline, more UI optimizations and noticeably better fingerprint reader is a trade-off I prefer. I didn't notice charging troubles unlike other users here.
EDIT: Battery drain is not as dramatic after a factory reset.
This is how my usage looks. All wifi except ~40min on mobile data. I'm pretty satisfied for now.
When I scroll up from the bottom to close apps, they fail to fade away into the background. They just disappear. Why cant I see this animation and how do I fix it?
Bluetooth Battery % indicator
Hey Guys,
I just bought this galaxy A70 (sm-a705mn), already upgraded to Android 10, One UI 2.0. My previous phone was Leeco pro3 and I Used AICP or Omni rom. I can't figure out how to enable battery indicator in status bar for connected Bluetooth headsets.
Hope to see Omni rom for it. I have not tried TWRP and Stock Roms yet (should I?)
Over all finger print scanner sucks if I could compare it to Xiaomi 9T.
Bests
