VA4 Battery drain after SW 3.80

Now, without "drain battery bug", without pulseOX, with HR monitoring, without bluetooth connection to smartphone, i'm using about 10 to 12% battery / day.

So, I can stay 8 days on battery.

With +/- 2 hours of outdoor activity / week, I can keep may watch up 7 days.

Try :

- update and charge batteries to 100%

- reeboot

- connect GPS (record activity outdoor 5 min)

If you still have battery problems --> request an exchange from the after-sales service

Great... but you don't have bluetooth connection to smartphone, you should have that battery stats with bluetooth.

I use to have issues with Battery.  It seems to have worked after the following.  Installed 3.8 update.  Restarted devise.  Charged to 100% and let charge for 1 hour more after it hit 100%.  Got new bluetooth update and restarted device.  Got new Sensor update and restarted device.  Now currently watch set to monitor HR, bluetooth on, brightness 10%, auto awake off, pulse OX off.  I am at 3 days since last charge and battery currently reading 65%.  I have not done activity tracking or had GPS on.  Battery app says I am losing .330%/hr.

Where can I find sensor update... ? I'm trying to check updates in the settings on the watch but nothing new for me...

It automatically got pushed to mine but you can use the charger to connect it to your computer and check the garmin express software. It might be available from there.

Mine downloaded yesterday morning from the garmin app.  my sensor version is 3.2 and blutooth version is 4.3.  if you have those then you are updated.  Otherwise try searching for the update through garmin express desktop app or your garmin app on the phone.

It doesn't matter if Garmin Express or Coinnect or wifi from your watch. There are no updates for 4s and that's it, you have to come to terms with it

I have Vivoactive 4 and I dont have any uptade beside bluetooth update few days ago.
I try to find it on garmin connecy app and desktop garmin express. Probably wy have to wait because they dont relese some updates for all of the devices.

once you get it i might even try resetting the phone then charge to 100% and let charge for another hour after it hit 100%  This seemed to have re calibrated my battery and fixed my issues.  At one point my garmin was losing charge at a rate of 5-6% every hour.

Which "battery app" do you use that reports discharge rate per hour?
