Galaxy Watch Battery drain, flash older FW - Samsung Galaxy Watch

Hi there,
i`ve got on of the first Samsung Galaxy Watch (D9D6) 46mm from 2018.
Like many other users i struggle with the heavy batterie drain.
(Over-night about 20%)
I´ve tested many different watch-settings, soft-reset, hard-reset,....but nothing gets me more then 2 days usage.
In my opinion this is a failure that comes with the latest FW-update from may/20.
Before the update the battery lasts about 4 days.
So i would like to know if its possible to flash an older FW.
I´ve read some posts here but haven`t found anything where i can download an older FW to flash ist using NetOdin?!
Modell: SM-R800
One UI: 1.5
Tizen: 4.0.0.7
Software Version: R800XXU1DSL1
Knox: 2.4.0
TIMA: 3.0.0
Would be great if someone could help me getting the watch back to normal.
With best regards
hagen

I had similar issues when I just bought my GW 800 in Dec-19, the first week the battery lasted 6 days with Tizen 4.0.0.4 and Firmware R800XXU1CSG4. Then there was the update to Tizen 4.0.0.7 "R800XXU1DSL1" and battery would only last 2,5 days, could not figure out why this happened. I noticed that when I flashed the 4.0.0.7 firmware again, it was back to 6 days. The moment I manually rebooted the watch, it went back to 2,5 days? So I decided to flash the 4.0.0.4 version to see what would happen, and got back the 6 days of battery. When I now reboot the watch, battery performance slightly goes bad to 3-4 days. So currently every now and then I factory reset my watch and don't reboot it anymore, only then I have a consistent battery consumption. If you do a search on the firmware number on the internet, there are a few sites were you can download the 4.0.0.4 version and flash it via Odin.

Hello @braas000,
thank you for the information. Never tried not to reboot the watch after factory-reset. Where have you downloaded tht FW? Many Pages looko like scam und not very trustworthy.
Have you flashed the 4.0.0.7 also via Odin or OTA?

Dear braas000,
Having the same problem + barometer problem despite some parts replacement from samsung !!! better to do things ourselves
I feel like Samsung want us to through out our watches to buy the GW3 ! may be not but I saw that many users are complaining about the same problems without any action taken by SmSg.
Any way, appreciate if you can share both files, the old FW to enjoy the battery life of the watch and the DSL1 in case if I'll need to get it back to the repair center to not avoid the warranty.
I appreciate it in advance and I'm sure that I'm not the only user to thank you for that.
Cheers,

Hi beldow,
Firmware can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...wares-roms-r8xx-netodin-galaxy-watch-t4077071
an here: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=978373&view=findpost&p=92121314
But i wasn`t able to install R800XXU1DTG1. netOdin failed writing the files.
R800XXU1DSL1 worked (Thats the FW that prev was installed over OTA).
Currently i am back to 4 days with R800XXU1DSL1
Cheers

Hi Hagen,
I've done nothing with the FW, I found a problem with the Altimeter / Barometer sensor, so I've disabled the related widget, disabling also the heart sensing by making it manually and I got almost 4 days now.
Going through many forums, looks like the new version of Tizen is power consuming... Therefore, I just force myself to be happy with 4 days.

S4 Mini Freezes

Three times I have experience with "random" freezes.
Twice on lockscreen and one in stand by. In both situation was phone hot like a hell. Someone another have "enjoyed" this?
I own this device only for two weeks, so this situations are realy sad!
Which firmware do you use? I had similar overheating issues with XXUAMG5-DBT ROM with additional battery drain issues, so I reverted back to XXUAMF5-BTU, the factory firmware.
I use factory firmware shipped with my S4 mini, no customization (I9195XXUAMF7).

Did you try any other firmware? If not, have a go with MF5. However, I didn't have such issues with MF7, apart from battery drain ones.
Currently I didn't try any other firmware. There is no other firmware version for my Region and I don't have experience with flashing Samsung and what are differencies with in regions.
When did you experience this? If the device is hot like hell, then you were probably using it while playing games for extended periods?
I never experienced this though on my MF5 firmware.
I have the same problem on my stock s4 mini. I have TIM brand version: 9195XXUAMH1.

I have also the same problem. I own this device for 7 days and it freezed for 3 times. Crashes when i am not using it.
i have also experienced another strange problem: When I open or close Wifi, it lags!!! For a few minutes (3-4), you can see the screen, and when you trying to give a command it's sooooooo slow.......
Baseband Version: I9195XXUBMJ7
Wtf, I did had another serie of random restarts and crashes.
But now today my phone was felt ****ing hot also toghether with a crash, I set it off for a while restart again using.
Then 5 hours later I'm calling with a friend, phone falls completely out and now it doesn't react anymore,
when I connect my adapter to the current it doesn't react anymore :s
Any idea or people who has had that?
(edit) First I tried 3 times with removing battery and back in (without result)
then I did get out the battery now for 5 minutes , I did it again in the phone ,
then I connected the adapter with the current and it was loading again :'o
Would it be safe to use it for some days ? Or should I better retour this to samsung in the first place?
Or contact them first?
Greetings
Since last firmware update , all this probs are fixed here.
(I did also a master reset 3 weeks before that update)

NFC does not initiate after returning from Cyanogenmod to Stock

good night
a time ago, for curiosity I wanted to prove a rom kitkat of Cyanogenmod 11... good, only I her used approximately 2 weeks since the truth did not convince me,
so I decided to return to the firmware of Telcel (mexico) on having installed to him the firmware ... the Wifi did not work already, it was not activated, so I tried to put another firmware of mexico, and I mark myself a strange error, whole, end up by putting the emergency recovery that KIES has
and there I was put by a firmware that is
version of Baseband I9195LUBUAMF3 and compilation
JDQ39. I9195LUBUBNC2
but from there ... the NFC did not work already ... the active thing, and it is deactivated only to 3 seconds,
later the speaker trumped me, send the team to guarantee, and in technical service they always iron the most recent firm, and it continues without raising the NFC
will it be any problem in hardware, or in the change of rom and firmware??
greetings and thank you very much
hello, good day....
to do tests,install Cyanogenmod 11 again, only to see that there the NFC works
and in this custom rom, if it works correctly, the question is, because in that of stock it does not work:S
there is already a thread about the not working nfc issue and a solution to fix this. look into it

Black view P2

What a great mid range but high spec phone the p2 is.
Rooting this device is so simple too.
Open dev options in about phone,
Allow OEM unlocking,
Root device,
Enter code ( google it ),
Reboot to root.
Really hope some ROM developing is going to happen for this device.
Its almost Vanilla as standard which is very nice.
Only gripe I have with this phone is the hard keys have no back light but I can live with that as at least Black view have kept them off the screen.
Great phone and I'm getting 8-10 hours SOT and I'm a heavy user.
I purchased from Amazon which I've linked below.
Fingers crossed fro some custom romage for this

I've been able to find a few ported ROMs at the Russian 4pda forum (not allowed to post links; google "Blackview P2 - Прошивки"), as well as TWRP. You'll need an account in order to download, otherwise you'll get a nice 404 error (I wasted quite a bit of time last night dealing with the Russian captcha, so good luck with that. :fingers-crossed
I've tested a couple of the ROMs available so far, but other than getting rid of the horrible icons in the stock version, I've can't really see any advantage of the ROMs currently available.
Think I will give that a miss. Thanks though.

I've just got this phone - it's great but I've been out of the 'installing' another ROM for a while...is it worth rooting etc?
I'm very tempted by this phone. Is it running okay with the Nougat update? and does it still root easily on Nougat?
Yes - I updated it to nougat and its better than mm - just need to find a way to update to 7.1.2 now!
Cool code...for the root, work fine in my blackview p2 lite also :good:

So can I just flash those update files with TWRP and be good to go?
I don't know if that's the stable or not, I've had that version for over a week now.
My update says C567?
I used the teammt firmware finder and, clicking on "Check Firmware Access" get "The firmware is not approved for installation."
This, I believe, means that it's not official.
We can expect the OTA to be pushed in stages, just like the beta, but, hopefully, it'll be complete by end of day this time.

Why would it be available if it's not official? I don't get that lol. The app is a little funky.
How long did the staged release of the beta take? Can we expect the update within hours, days, or weeks do you all think?

I'd say weeks, but that is just a hunch based on my experience with the rollout of the previous two patches... Once again, it would have been nice when Honor USA announced it that they didn't just say "Coming April 30" but instead were a bit more honest about how the release was being pushed out.
They shoyld have said that it will be around a certain week or something cause the frustrating lag is killing me badly and i even have a Oneplus 5t...but still is the worst lag i have seen in since 2013
I think the released update file are for update from oreo beta to oreo stable.
My first attempt to manually flash the update failed to flash the data files, only did the system update. It left me with odd build number and missing the new face-unlock feature.
I installed a second time , from the half installed oreo , and this time it completed fully. Also changed install script to use original file names instead of shortened names.
If anyone does this also please note that you will need to use the oreo flash update section as you will already be on oreo .

I used the update oreo section from my guide.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649
It was not 100% working. I am not sure if it was the shortened update-file names or because the update files are for beta update.
The update fails at about 70-80% --during the data_update and hw_update-- and then I needed to do factory reset.
After booting into half updated oreo I updated again using same guide, but used the flash update section for oreo.
And I modified the updater-binary to use the full name of updates instead of the shortened names.
Might be able to use full names on nougat update section too, but I was already in oreo, so could not test.

Can anyone help I want to flash SM-G988B older official rom to go back to UI 2.1

As title suggests I'm not happy at all with UI 2.5 which has destroyed my battery and SoT and lost some other features I really liked for my SM-G988B S20 Ultra Exynos model .
Can anyone help with the latest official f/w for UI 2.1 built number code to download it and flash it from Sammobile?
Thanks in advance for any help

You can't downgrade bootloader (bl). It's a mission impossible.
So I think that it won't work.
Please let me know if you are able to downgrade to one ui 2.1

It is v4 and it worked just fine without triggering the knox.. Did a smart switch & samsung account backup before I downgrade at the version I mentioned (latest before UI 2.5 that is) and everything works just fine. I already feel the difference in battery life.. /sigh
Will probably stay here until UI 3.0 if I don't see any other important feature added. Only some camera features I'll miss but battery is the most important thing and I'm not willing to sacrifice an hour or two of SoT for UI 2.5
Thanks all for your help
