High Battery Drain on Version 19.05

essexboyracer 7 months ago

Took my Venu 2 off charge (100%) at 20:00 last night and this morning at 07:00 it is already 84%.

What is draining the battery so much during the night when I'm asleep?

I have had similar, or even worse, experiences with Venu 2 and version 19.05.

Yesterday evening my Venu 2 had about 40–50 % battery left. At morning the charge was below 10 % and then in about 30 minutes…

What are u talking about? He wrote the problem with his WATCH (Garmin Venu2), not a PHONE.

Same with me, have been waiting for an update for months, hoping that it would solve the issue. My average battery drain without GPS and without auto-start activity is 19% per day, where it used to be…

Here's the problem. GARMIN, you must fix that ASAP. If not, you will lose a lot of people from buying your product in the future, seriously.

I also tried everything but nothing works. But I don't have the same behavior as you. Mine goes from 35% to 0% in a few seconds.

NOTE: Some of your standard advice like factory reset, restart, remove from the Garmin app, and forget the Bluetooth device DOESN'T WORK AT ALL.

I'm so tired of all that sh**. Normally people buy watches to use them without any issues. But Garmin's users should always be in the forum and writing the problem with their watch and see how Garmin tech support, released the SW Updates ignore that...

Sometimes it goes from 40, sometimes from 70. Doesn't matter. Venu2 now is an unusable watch! It just takes ~3 days till they turn off (without any activities, always on and pulse Ox).

Did you contact the support ? I contacted french support and the answer is ... no comment : => The guy says : "Although the watch is no longer under warranty, our engineering teams are actively working on a corrective update that could permanently resolve this issue. This update should be available soon and could be the solution you are waiting for." I replied that the firmware was released 8 months ago. That it is planned obsolescence... And I have to pay 150€ to a standard exchange.

Yes. They asked to do a Hard Reset and if it won't help I should contact my local Garmin support. Will see

Today I did 5 times Reset All Data and Settings - didn't help. GARMIN please tell us, are you fixing the buggy 19.05 or not? If not, I will buy another brand.

Guys, we should promote the problem in all possible social media channels.
