WeatherConditionsRequest keeps phone awake at night even with Weather Widget hidden

I have a oneplus 3t phone and a garmin fenix 3 hr. I have tried to contact app support through email - but never got a response.

I found that my phone is using a lot of power in times where it shouldn’t. Through onboard tools i couldn’t find any app which could cause this so i installed a tool from google called Battery Historian avialable on github. With this tool i found that Garmin Connect is checking for weather conditions every 10min for 30sec. I tried hiding the widget on my clock and many other things to avoid this happening. Because of this i lose 2.5 to 3% each hour during the night. Uninstalling Garmin Connect my phone barely loses 2% over the entire night.

Please let me disable weather sync completely within the app. The weather information is of no use and causing a lot of battery drain for me at least. ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1378801.png ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1378802.png

Could you try that with bluetooth off to isolate if it is the GC app itself or if it is a device application causing the refresh?

will try that. But i guess if the Watch is disconnected the App wont request weather information. Turning off wifi and data helps as well.

btw i'm not using any none garmin apps except this watchface https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/c0828da2-ebd6-404f-852b-5e9a90cd9c3e

the wake ups are gone but that i sort of expected. If the device is disconnected why should the weather data be updated. how does the process work. How can i find out what is triggering the periodic refresh of weather information even if the weather widget is hidden (dont see anything to disable it).

any option to get intouch with the app developers?

I think if you disable the location permission on the connect app, this problem will go away. I had similar issue on old phone. Worth trying it at least.
