Insane Battery drain since 15.10

scusa mario non ho capito una cosa: tu avevi un widget batteria di terze parti?
io ho il problema che mi si scarica ma non ho mai avuto widget al di fuori di quelle garmin...secondo te cosa dovrei fare per risolvere, rimuovere il widget batteria originale della garmin nelle schermate dell'orologio?

sorry mario I did not understand one thing: did you have a third-party battery widget?
I have the problem that I get discharged but I have never had widgets outside of those garmin ... in your opinion what should I do to solve, remove the original battery widget of the garmin in the clock screens?

 I am still convinced, that foreign APPs, foreign Widgets or high rate data transfer (BT or WiFi) are the reason for high battery consum.
Please write always if you complain, what kind of APPS or Widget you are using. Also, if you use BT and WIFI.

For 8 days I wrote:

It is my third Fenix 5x. I had problems with the USB-Connector but never with high Battery drain. I have always installed the newest Firmware and never the battery drain increased. I use only Garmin native APPs or my own written Apps.

Because most of the user with high battery drain, had in the past no problems, we can excluded the hardware of the Fenix 5x to be the reason.

Because the newest Firmware is always identical across the world, the reason for the problem must be:

- an external APP or

- a setting of the watch.

For this reason, I would recommend, if you complain, to describe what kind of Apps or setting you are using. Perhaps on this way, we could find the reason for this high battery drain.

I bought fenix5 August 19.i can not remember which firmware has the watch when i first started it,but i remember the battery lasts 4 to 5 days.2 week later i uploaded 14.20 ver and i noticed the battery life was double 10-12 Days.

With 15.10  the battery was terrible .2-3 days only.all this period  has only garmin wface ,widgets and the same settings.never uploaded something . Now i m back to 14.20 ver and fenix5 battery seems normal. I calculate 0.3-0.4 % per hour for now,and 5%/hour in run mode.

I do not upload the last beta  or version until garmin find solution . For me 14,20 is fine,for others terrible. Exactly the opposite for me and others is 15,10.

Just tested with Bluetooth, Activity tracking,  garmin original watchface, heart rate sensor on,  no additional widget. Is doing 3%/hour. Battery not lasting more than 2 days.. I am very said with it....

When i update @15.10 garmin fenix 5 sapphire have a draining battery problemi. I tried to come back to 14.20, delete any data field, widget... the draining battery continued. I've try to reupdate to 15.10 but nothing to do. Now i don't know if waiting new firmware o replace the battery. Someone can help me?

There are nothing to do for help you.

We have to wait fot the new software.for me the revent to 14.20 was not so bad.my fenix5  has stabilized around 10%per day in watch mode and 5 to 6% per hour in run mode.

I think new software is on the go.

Im on 15.20, using Infocal watch face, my battery lasted for 14 days. Bt, wi-fi are off, activity tracking on all the time, watch HRM sensor is turned off when I dont have F5X on my hand.

Hello Yannig

Was this Data Field the only product (Data Field, Widget and APP) which was not original  develloped by Garmin?

And are you absolute certain, that this was the reason?

Thank you for your help.
