Dear Community,

Whats up?
Are there someone else with this Problem?

This is happening to me too. I just received my 4s yesterday. Charged it to 100% at around 1800 last night, when i went to bed at 2200 it was 87%, and I thought that it was because it was new, I had just…
Garmin released an update version 3.30 that claims to fix battery drain issue with IQ Connect watch faces. I put the Lacesis face back on and will see if battery usage changes. The last charge I did to…
This watch is a mystery to me. All I can really suggest is to stick with it and eventually the battery drain problem might resolve on its own. I got my 4s in September right after it was released and now…
I am planning to buy this watch for my girlfriend and my only concern is the battery duration. Can you share your experience about battery life using GPS tracking? We do a lot of hiking up to 10 hours. Can I expect the 4 (and 4S?) to last that long (GPS only)? Thanks!
Based on other vivoactives, 10 hrs "might" be an issue. But all it takes is a cell phone battery back and your charging cable, and a few minutes when you stop for a break and you can extend the time with no problem.
Last time I did a test with the original vivoactive, with an occasional "boost", I stopped after 24 hours and had 70% battery.
"change on the go".
Hello i bought the vivoactive 4s and the battery loosing 2% for hour.
My setup : version 3.40
some one disable smart workouts, where is this setting please ?
my husband buy the Garmin venu and the battery is better ...
Thanks.
First step to improving battery life is updating the watch to the latest firmware, as of right now that is 3.4. On 3.4 my VA 4 is trending to an 8 day battery life with with playing around with the watch.
to disable auto start on activities go to settings, activity tracking, auto activity start and set to off.
After all the updates and 4 hour charges the battery life is still not great, nowhere near Garmin's claim of a 7 day battery life for the 4s. I can get 5 days max, with: Lachesis Light face, screen lock always on, wrist gestures off, 20% backlight, resp on, HR on, notifications on, pulse ox off, spotify installed but never used, no activities (I can only imagine how short the battery life will be when I actually do an activity or listen to music). It seems like pretty minimal use to me, and with similar settings I can get well over 7 days with my FR245. What do I have to do to get 7 days with the VA4s, turn everything off and not wear it? That is not realistic at all. Thank goodness I still have my FR245 for when I actually want to do activities, because the VA4S is nice to look at but not very practical or useful.
Seeing the same thing, master cleared the device and turned of BT still draning battery
I've been through the entire gambit: restarts, full factory resets, charging to 100% for 4 hours. Continued minimal use of the watch and I am still seeing 3-4% drain an hour. I have to charge every day with this performance. Will try to contact support again.
