battery problems with update 4.67

Zampy
over 3 years ago

Hello everyone and sorry for the perhaps incorrect English ...
I updated a few days ago to the latest firmware of my Venu2s and I noticed a sharp drop in autonomy in daily use, especially during night rest.
My settings are:
AOD off
PulseOX only at night
Bluetooth turned on on Venu
Wifi turned off
Motion notifications on
Cardio always ON
Medium vibration
Automatic brightness on minimum level

I make moderate use of the watch that with the previous firmware took me to an autonomy of 7 days with these settings. Now I make almost 4 ...
Will I have to get used to it?
I noticed a big improvement in the fluidity of the touch, maybe this is the aspect that concerns the greater decrease of the battery?

    Yesterday, however, I connected the Venu2 to Garmin Connect on PC, the software version was always 4.67 but the watch still downloaded a small update when I unplugged it from the USB. Now, after I uploaded it to 100% yesterday morning, it's 74%. It looks normal again.

    With my Venu 2S battery drain went from 17% a day to 27% since the update. I did not change anything in the settings.

    I hope they fix it quickly.

    I've made a performance test with a custom watch face from IQ (Summit Watch Face v2) and one of the stock watch faces (the one suggested by Mladen T).

    The results are:

    *Custom Watch Face*
    From:
    30/08 - 08:10 - 80%
    To:
    31/08 - 08:10 - 26%
    ~54%

    *Stock Watch Face*
    From:
    01/09 - 09:42 - 80%
    To:
    02/09 - 09:42 - 25%
    ~55%

    With my original Venu (same setup), the consumption averaged 40%. Are the results above expected from the Venu 2 series or mine is being a battery hog?

    *Settings*

    AOD

    Auto Brightness

    Activity Tracking

    Just WhatsApp notifications

    1x 1hr gym workout

    Low vibration

    Gesture with low sensitivity during workout

    Usually register water intake via glance

    Obs.: Although its consuming significantly more battery during the day (average), the sleep tracking feature does show a huge improvement into battery savings.

    I had that same thing when doing a forced restart after downloading 4.67 abs getting battery problems. When it restarted it did a small unspecified update after which the battery has been back to normal ever since.

    I’m having the same issue… after the update the battery life dropped to basically one day and I try the “Software Update” function in the watch, it shows the message of Wifi error 030. 

    O’ve tried doing the reset and connecting it to the PC, but the bugs persists. Don’t know what else to do.
