Venu 3/3S Battery Life Drain 9.24-9.28 (~3 days)

Just to summarise my statement. 
above is same app installed on my Tactix 7 amoled. 
It says it will last 26 days after I charged it yesterday

I have it several weeks now and with my current settings with AOD on etc it last me 8-9 days with two activities every two days. 

Yet this app says 26days. 

Pretty much useless then and statements above about 17 days of use on Venu are like fairytales. 

thanks 

Having similar problem on my Venu 3. I need to restart every couple of days. After a restart the watch behaves very well (losing 12% per day). But within couple of days the watch starts losing 30% per day. Seems some sort of memory leak requiring extra background resource cleanup activities (just a guess).

Any update from 10.2? Anyone tried it and is battery drain fixed by any chance ? Missus is scared to update

El mio sigue funcionando bien, 0,250 - 0,270 hora dependiendo del uso y no ha vuelto a dar problemas de batería. Yo le apague el asistente del móvil porque me dio problemas de volumen sonido en el reloj. Prueba a desactivarlo el el movil, igual esta trabajando en segundo plano. Suerte

Didn’t have any issues till 2 days ago. Now battery is dead after 1 day top, new version doesn’t make any difference. Watch is like 3 months old. Unbelievable 

update: ever since my last post (see above) i didnt charge the watch. it lasted 11 days. i had 3 activities of around 40 min. so for me the pulse ox was the ˋculprit´. i conclude that my watch does not have any battery issues as i had suspected when i last posted here. I wish you all a soon fix! 

I'm pretty sure the 26.2 days in your image would be if you use the watch in smart watch mode, e.g. no GPS activities. GPS burns vastly more battery than smart watch mode. 

If you did a 20 hour gps activity it would last even less than 8-9 days.

I may have found the beginnings of a fix for the battery drain issue. 

I haven't fully tested it yet, as it'll take a while and Garmin only know as much as I've been able to tell them but are very interested in my findings. I need to share it because it's better than before by a very long way. The process is also very reversible, so not a big deal. You just need to remember/photograph what apps/glances are installed on your watch, from the list in Garmin Express, when plugging the device into your laptop. 

Plug into Garmin Express and click on your device and then on the applications screen. You get a list choice of All possible applications, ones installed on your device, applications, glances and maybe another option. Look at what's installed on your device and photograph the list.

I removed fitness tracking "applications" (NOT the smartwatch Applications like phone, flashlight, dial, timer etc. you need those ones) 

I took off only the duplicate fitness tracking applications but left the "glance" versions. For example, you'll see 2 calorie burn installments or 2 steps installments. One is called an "application or activity and one is called a "glance". 

I just have one installment to serve each activity that I do and got rid of any surplus.

I am not a wheelchair user and also uninstalled everything to do with tracking wheelchair fitness, as it takes up space. 

I have a theory that the wheelchair tracking may have been added to the watch software at a later date than the watch manufacture, I don't think this was an original feature. I think it's possible it was added in with an update at some point and may be part of the problem but I'm only theorising at this point. If this theory proves correct then it means I could reinstall whatever I wanted.

You can always reinstall anything if you don't like the outcome of this. 

I have yet to test the battery from 100% and see how long it will last. I have to try reinstalling certain things and also changing my settings back to more battery unfriendly settings, coupled with the app removal. Different combinations basically. See what's best.

My watch still works the same as before, after removing the applications and keeping only the glances. All the information I need is there and there's the phone app info as well. The drain is very significantly different.

As I say, all experimental but in 3 days, I've been hovering between 29 and 18 percent battery. That'd usually go in one night. Usually a drain of 25-35 percent overnight. Now it's draining 1% overnight.

I've not used it for any activities yet either but that usually didn't make a difference to the massive battery drain before.

I'll update this if anything else interesting happens 

I let the watch drain and after charging it, it's back to lasting 24 hours, despite removing all the stuff and it lasting well for a few days. Back to the drawing board ..... I realised it's because of the charger I used that day. It was an aftermarket one. All I had at the time. I've since used my genuine cables for charging 

I've so far had 6 days out of it. 25th June I charged to 100 with the genuine cables and it's the 1st July and I'm down to 43% which is astounding and great
