Sorry if this has been asked before -- has anybody else noticed that the Garmin Connect Android app has an adverse effect on phone battery life? Since I installed it, my phone battery life has reduced by about 50%. Of course, I can't be sure that the Garmin app is responsible -- it could be a dodgy phone firmware update or some other rogue app.
I've been experience heavy battery drain for the last several weeks, perhaps as long as a month. There isn't an obvious culprit from the Android settings.
In the past, people have reported here that some revisions of the Garmin Connect app have kept a "wake lock" for long periods, which prevents the phone from going into full low-power mode. I don't know how to look for that.
For the record, I have a Garmin VivoActive 3 connected to a Samsung S7. The Samsung is running the latest Android distributed by Verizon in the USA, including the January 2018 update. It indicates that it's Android 7.0.
