Problemas bateria con actualización 26.00

Buenos días, F6X Pro al actualizar a la versión 26.00 la batería se reduce considerablemente pasando a durar aprox unos 13-14 dias sin uso del GPS. Anteriormente duraba unos 20-21 d. Mi reloj se sustituyó la semana pasada por un nuevo reacondicionado por un problema en el botón y esta nueva unidad se comporta exactamente igual despues de actualizarla a la versión 26.00. No utilizo ninguna carátula del CIQ, lleva la de serie. He leido en el foro que hay varios usuarios con el mismo problema. He provado a hacer soft reset y hard reset sin mejorar el consumo de la batería. Algo más que se pueda hacer? Espero que Garmin solucione este problema ya que me compré este modelo precisamente por la duración de la bateria y ahora, aunque no es del todo mala si que es un 30% menos que con la versión de software anterior.

  • I think i found some solution. Yesterday during charging i pushed light button till power off and after 1-2 min i powered my watch on. Left it till 100% charge and since then (~24h) i lost 6%. It's still ~0,3% per hour, but it's better than 0,7%...

    Important!
    1. Plug your watch to normal outlet - not PC/Laptop/Other.
    2. Do not disconnect power plug during restarting your watch. After boot up you should see your normal watchface, not the charging one (radar style charging % face).

    Hope it will help you 

  • Hola, ¿sabéis si se ha solucionado el problema y cómo? A mí me ocurre lo mismo. 

    gracias 

  • Hola, encontraste la solución? A mi el fenix 6xpro me dura 3 dias la batria. Tengo igual la ver 26, creo que es el primer y último garmin que compro, es increíble la incompetencia de esta gente, podían volver a poner la ver 24 para solucionar el problema.

  • "I also saw similar high battery drain rates (1.2 to 1.5 percent per hour) with 26.00 on my Fenix 6 Pro Solar.  It is my opinion that there are likely multiple separate possible causes for the excessive drain.  Some watches may suffer from one cause of excessive drain while others may be plagued with multiple causes.  I have read through hundreds of forum postings on Fenix 6 excessive battery drain and I've tried every suggestion for fixing the issue.   What did not work for me was previous versions of firmware:  I tried unsuccessfully sideloaded firmware  15.20, 19.20, 20.80, 21.10 24.10,  26.00, 26.79 and 26.82.  Each and every one of those firmwares exhibited high battery drain, with no added widgets and only stock watch faces.  I even saw high drain when in battery saver mode, which rules out any of the sensors or wifi/BT comms.   Hard and soft resets also did not fix the issue.  What did work was a forum suggestion to connect the watch to a computer and to delete all files and folders that can be deleted.  This sounds drastic, but the firmware will automatically recreate the needed folders and files.  I first tried this when the watch was running 24.10:  attached the watch by USB cable to my computer and then deleted all files and folders except the file copyright.txt and the folder GARMIN\DATA (those were undeleteable).  After removing the USB cable, the watch restarted and to my amazement ran with "normal" battery drain, about 0.3 percent per hour. I ran with this firmware and drain rate for about a 2 weeks, charging the watch twice. I then let the watch update firmware to 26.00:  the high battery drain returned!!!!!    I sideloaded 24.20 and the high battery drain continued!!!   I then again deleted all files and folders except the two previously listed, and the watch then ran with normal battery drain.  I again updated to 26.00 and the high battery drain returned.   I then again went through the file/folder delete process and the watch then ran with normal battery drain.   I have now been running with 26.00 for about 3 days and I am seeing "normal" battery drain of about 0.3 percent per hour.   I'm speculating that the various firmware versions themselves are not the root cause of the drain.  There seems to be something wrong with the firmware update process that leaves the watch's filesystem in an undesirable state.  The watch CPU could be churning excessively (causing the increase battery consumption) because of the state of the filesystem.   The deletion of the filesystem causes the firmware to recreate the filesystem in a "good" state.

    The fille/folder deletion method worked for me, your mileage may (and likely will) vary.   Use caution with this method, backup any watch data you don't want to loose."

  • Gracias, intentaré hacer lo mismo. Un saludo 

  • Before doing such steps as the full master reset, or removing the file system, I recommend following the tips from the Troubleshooting guide for high battery drain - it works in the vaste majority of cases.

  • Hice una restauración de fábrica y de momento va muy bien, lleva 5 dias con el uso normal que le doy y la bateria esta al 64%, creo que se ha solucionado el consumo excesivo de bateria. Muchas gracias por tu ayuda. Un saludo.
