I have been having this issue since updating my phone (Pixel 6 Pro) to Android 13. The battery life of my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic (SM-R890) has tanked. I used to get 2+ days of battery life with the watch and after the Android 13 update I got well less than a day. Many people on reddit have the same issue. It is not related to the watch, Other Wear OS watches are having same issue (like TWP3). This appears to be a Bluetooth issue with phone. When I turn off Bluetooth on my phone, my watch is back to 2+ days. In the Sept. update bulletin It said "Fix for issue occasionally preventing certain Bluetooth devices or accessories from connecting". I was hopeful that the Sept. update would fix this issue but alas it does not. I have the Verizon Sept. update (TP1A.220905.004.A1). I currently turn off Bluetooth on my phone so my watch's battery does not drain. It kind of sucks having a smart watch not connected to phone. Does anyone know if there is a way to resolve this issue?
I have the exact same watch and pixel 6 pro, I am not experiencing this issue. Although I do not use google assistant, which was draining my phone and the watch like crazy as you report, after stopping to use I stopped having problems. August update Android 13 galaxy watch app was draining the crap out of my phone, to the point I mostly disabled it and manually allowed the sync, again after Samsung software updates and Sept build all of this has gone away again.
August update was so crap I also did a factory reset of the phone no restore to try to fix all of this, and other issues with Bluetooth, made no difference. With September update almost all these issues have gone away.
If you upgraded from 12 -13 not factory reset I would recommend doing that.
Or backup the watch and reset it, making sure you remove the watch for bluetooth devices on the phone before, so it sets up clean as a bluetooth device.
Do you think that if I disable Assitatant on phone this could resolve issue? I use this feature very infrequently. I do not have installed on watch. I did upgrade from from 12 to 13 as apposed a factory reset. I'm fine doing phone reset though a bit more work (backing up texts, photos, etc.). I did reset of watch after A13 update but pre sept update. Do you think resetting watch now after sept update could resolve? Thanks for your help!
It's Samsung health that's draining the battery. I rolled back to the July version of Samsung health and battery is great. You can also turn off Samsung health permission to "physical activity" and that will help. The problem is the August update for Samsung Health basically keeps keeps the app running constantly on Android 13 because it's trying to sense all physical activity from your phone and doesn't allow the phone to deep sleep. It's interesting because if you roll back to the July build of Samsung Health, you can keep the physical activity permissions on and it doesn't have the deep sleep issue.
Sorry to tell you I'm not experiencing this. I get a good 2.5-3 days of battery life with samsung health and everything running as normal on Android 13 and the latest GW4 update.

Yes, absolutely, do a search for something like huge battery drain after google assistant launches on watch 4, you will see it littered everywhere and the recommendation was to uninstall it. Quick and easy test, then if it makes no difference then just install it again.

Yes there is a number of Samsung chats, blogs about this behaviour and for the best part Samsung seemed to shrug it off

danw_oz, when I finally reset my phone this fixed the issue for me. Thank you! I tried multiple other things and nothing worked. For me it was not assistant or Samsung Health.

Okay, this weekend, on a Friday, I drove to DC. As soon as navigation started on my Nexus 6, my watch started to display the navigation notifications. I quickly blocked the app, as I didn't want the 3+ hours of navigation to drain my watch.
2.5 hours into the trip, I look at my watch's battery, and it's down to 30%!!! I started the trip at about 90%. Not happy, very scared about running out of power. Figure out it's a bug, or whatever, and I factory reset that night.
During the weekend, while I'm in DC, I notice that it is not the normal battery life, despite a factory reset Friday night.
On the way home, Sunday, I noticed a huge drain as well. Not wanting to lose any more power, I turn it on AIRPLANE MODE when at 47%.
HERE'S WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING.
I get a notification that says something like "Maps Navigation App stopped." I don't remember the exact phrasing.
However, this leads me to believe that I was experiencing the battery drain because while I was blocking the Maps app, it was still running on my watch! What's up with that? I thought it totally stopped the app.
Am I correct? Does a blocked app still run while the watch despite being blocked?
IF so... how do I "fix" this? Is that possible?
Or, was something else draining my battery?

Okay, from another thread I was discussing on Android Central, another user found that Maps and probably other apps weren't totally OFF when the Notification was set to be BLOCKED. Meaning, even though you are Blocking a certain app, it appears that it is still running in the background of the watch, and that is leading to huge drains.
Anybody take any road trips or commuting with their moto360 and using Google Maps notice this?

I have this exact same issue. I use navigation a few days a week. I'm a new Moto 360 owner, so I thought it was just other battery issues. But it isn't. Its Navigation. Once I start navigation, by battery plummets. I can't stop it. Then the battery usage says that Bluetooth uses the most battery. So I am gonna keep trying different things. Don't factory reset your phone. It doesn't help. Resetting the watch doesn't help either. I think its an issue with Android 5.0.2. But that's a guess. What else can it be?

Mine also died again after three hours of driving yesterday, and this is with the latest Android Wear update (on the phone). When I tried to charge it, I got constant Google app and Android Wear crashes. I was finally able to reset the watch to get it back to working.

So I have a Moto 360 gen 1 and Samsung Galaxy Edge+. I just got the Nougat update on the phone.
After the update, my watch has been draining battery like crazy. I usually got a full day out of it and charged it fully at night. Now, I can't even get to 5pm.
I reset the watch and re-synced with the phone. No change. This morning it's draining at a rate of about 20%/hour which means I will hardly make it past lunch. I also don't even get call notifications now.
I'm fiddling with Android wear and watch settings to try to disable any unneeded app (I only use the watch for basic notification and step counts).
Hello,
About Nougat and Moto 360 ... I received it on my Moto G4 a few weeks ago and I'm not experiencing any battery drain.
Watch battery behaviour is the same as before when phone was in Marshmallow.

try uninstalling updates on Google Play Services (some app will prompt and make you update again, do that).
Uninstall and install all apps that have Wear app as well (like what apps show in Wear, uninstall the app in phone and reinstall and sync the watch in Android Wear app settings)
With such draining its just best to turn off everything unnecessary. Or turn off watch completely. With all resetting and resyncing, the watch will be dead soon anyways.. But probably it was just syncing or updating something by itself and you interrupted it by the reset so it had to do all the syncing again, draining the battery again ..
Hi All,

- Reboot in safe mode
- delete all the devices paired
- restore app permission
- Disabled bluetooth scanning
- enable stamina

Hi
You've only to reset your device. You installed an app that drains battery in the background or you've enabled something wrong.
As last chance before resetting cancel the data of Bluetooth on applications settings:highfive:
Wish could be helpful

Are there any solutions?

I've bought the smartphone in September 2017 and I didn't had the feeling I had this issue at the beginning.
Is the problem triggered by an update? Or it's present also with stock rom?
Have you the dual or single sim version?
That's really a pain the solution could be wait for oreo or rollback to the factory rom.

I bought it in December and I updated it as soon as it was turned on. the problem has always been there for me
Tried to restore factory setting, issue still present after 4 hours 120 mAh used by bluetooth without any paired device, any advice on how to move forward?
Any foreccast on OREO update? this could be the only one fix
Xperia XA1 big battery drain in standby after Android v8 Feb 2019 security updates
Confirm that ever since I received Nov 2018, and then Feb 2019 Android v8 security patch updates, in late Feb 2019. I have been experiencing significant extra battery drain with my Dual SIM Xperia XA1 whenever Bluetooth is enabled.
Currently I'm experiencing this on 48.1.A.2.101 (Android 8.0.0 with 5 February 2019 security patch), but believe the issue started with 48.1.A.2.73 (8.0.0 with 5 November 2018 security patch which I personally received & installed on 26th Feb 2019, Feb security patch then became available shortly after)
Has taken me a while (& I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm) to track down that I don't believe it's any new or misbehaving apps. And like others here I initially wondered if Bluetooth background scanning (Changed via Settings > Lock screen & security > Location > Scanning) could have been the culprit, but no that's not made a significant difference.
At the moment the only workaround I've found is manually turning on/off Bluetooth from quick actions, but before Feb updates my Xperia had excellent all day battery when in light use, frequently being at 40%+ at end of the day, now with battery drain issue I'm lucky to make 30% by 6pm, often worse!
See attached for screenshot from GSam battery monitor when I was only lightly using my phone, but only switched off Bluetooth between approx 10.30am-1pm today and the slope of battery drain is substantially different!
(I have just recently asked if the developers of that app can add a Bluetooth On/Off orange bar overlay to that graph which would makes things much more definitive to track)
After I received the upgrade to 1.0.9.58 couple of days ago I am facing serious battery drain on my GT2.
Before my GT2 last easily 7-10 days. After the FW upgrade I went to 1,5 day only !!!!
I did not changed anything in my GT2 settings or android Health app settings. I am using just default watch face no custom faces.
•I tried to reset the GT2 directly from watch display. - doesn` t help
•Than I tried to restore to default settings form android Health app - doesn` t help
•I switched off all monitoring functions (heart/stress/sleep) - only small improvement
• at the end I reinstalled the android health app completely - nothing changed
In 21hrs I had a drop of -45% from battery. I have them just 1 year so battery life should be fully ok...
Is there somebody else facing the same problem ?
Any Idea how to fix ?
I am desperate already
Unfortunately i have the same problems, although mine last 3 day's.
That last update was a really bad one! I have seen many people having problems with their gt after this update! Including me with no connection for calls.

Not on the watch!
I also upgraded my GT2 to this firmware version a couple of days ago, hoping for the inclusion of SPO2 function but nothing.
BTW there truly is a significant drop in battery life since. It's actually like 20% battery per day instead of 12%~15% battery per day before.
Hope Huawei fixes this ASAP.
Battery after 6 day's 15% power without stress and heart beats.Only sleep mode is on and automatic screen opening with hand gesture.
The important problem after the last update is the missed calls. Now show only the number and not the name of the contact.
Before I do not have this problem.

I also have a lot of battery consumption, only notifications, sleep and pulse are on. restarting to factory settings did not help. frimware 1.0.9.58. will there be any new updates?
I've sent my GT2pro to service as they are still under warranty. Service did changed the motherboard and admit the issue. (Battery drain, random freazing)
Now I am back at FW 1.0.8.16 with blocked auto updates in Health app. Nobody will persuate me to update into 1.0.9.58. ....Will wait for the next release in the row

Yes the last version before the 1.0.9.58 was the best, has all the latest updates and great battery life. I've been able to go through the entire week without charging and it still has like 25% left.
With the current firmware version I struggle to reach the 5th day before the battery goes red.
Just got a Honor Watch magic 2 42 mm and it updated itself automatically (or I updated it unconsciously) on setup. I'm facing the same problems as you describe. I know the 42mm has half the battery life, but it barely achieves 2 days with smart heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking so I searched for my software version and ended up here. If someone else can give feedback about the 42mm appreciated.
Thank for the thread and the info.
Same problem
Since that update, I only have 8 hours batterylife (I have the 42mm version). Still don't know after weeks what it causes.
on 1.0.9.58 i dont have any battery drain, but i see that watch is not counting steps correctly. When i wake at night and do some steps and when i check its saying 0 steps and then also sleep tracker saying that i was not awake.
Any idea when to expect next update? (.....after 1.0.9.58)
Hello,
2 weeks after Android 11 update, my pixel 2 xl started to feel hot and the battery was discharging quickly. On Google help, many people were in my case, and many of them mentioned about unstalling Tunein. Which I did, then my phone stopped to be warm but this didn't stop the drain issue. What I have noticed is that if I don't touch my phone, the battery acts as normal, slow discharge, but when I use it, meaning when the screen is on, the battery just discharges at a crazy speed. It was not like that just before the Android 11 update. Anyone got this problem and found the reason / a fix ?
Thanks
I am having the same issue. An have not found a solution as of yet. I thought it may be the Pixel Launcher. So I changed it to Nova Launcher with no change.
Yes, strange. Mine gets a serious battery drain from 100% to 50% in a short time, even when I don't use it. Then below 50% it is very stable as long as I don't use it. Never experienced this before.

Hello gentlemen, i got this problem with october update in particular.
So, digging in a google forum i found a user who recommended to install an updated version of Android System Webview (maybe you should download it from apkpure or apkmirror) , Carrier Services and.... uninstall Tune-in (yep... the radio app)
I don't know which one did the trick... but it just did..
I hope it helps!

NO, i didn't do a factory reset because I have seen a lot of people (online) doing it without success. You can see this thread here on Google support, over than 580 comments today...https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/70445129?hl=en

I actually did a factory reset today but the battery drain is still there...

NO, i didn't do a factory reset because I have seen a lot of people (online) doing it without success. You can see this thread here on Google support, over than 580 comments today...https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/70445129?hl=en
But apparently some people fixed the problem with a factory reset...

I had the same problem and it was a new (at least to me) Google program called "Digital Wellbeing". I had to turn it off, which wasn't a straight forward proposition. I even "uninstalled" which just uninstalled the updates and they came back.
I don't recall exactly all the steps I took, but I now have my trusty Pixel 2 XL back to it's previous battery usage. Which is excellent for a three year old device.
Anyway, turn it off, take away all it's permissions, and do everything you can to shut it down. I was almost ready to root my device just to really get rid of it.
I disabled digital wellbeing, stopped the permissions, and uninstalled the update on the play store, but it didn't fix the battery drain...

A few days have passed and I can see a significant improvement. Honestly, I don't know what actually helped. some app update or maybe something I did, but there's a significant improvement.
In general, I would like to remind that from the update to android 11 my battery was tragic but only when using it, there was no problem with standby.
I was barely able to get 4 SOT hours. Now I can safely exceed 6 hours.
The only modifications I made were:
- leave beta program of digital welbing and its complete shutdown app
- disabled wifi scanning
- disabled Location service for emergency calls ELS
Since then, battery consumption with the screen on has dropped from 25-30%/ h to 12-16%/h. The phone is like new again. In addition, everything works very quickly and smoothly. ??
