  • Exactly the same

  • Hi,
    I made these steps and also deep reset. I let my VA4 to go 0%. After that connected it to USB. Immediately told that battery is full 100% even it was 0%. Made again deep reset and let it to charge into 100%. After that everything was synchronized: Skype, Deezer aso..Quarateed that theres no battery eating features on: Wifi, Phone connect, Pulse OX as it was earlier.

    I have been synchronizing VA4 only once / day and managed to get 8 days usage time earlier.

    For some reason even it was fully charged battery consumption went high after unplug was made. From 100% to 62% in 20 minutes. And that happened when I made sync between phone and watch. Only that was made. Did not happen earlier.

    Also GE tells that I have updates to install. When I press continue happens nothing. Earlier it showed a couple of applications to be updated. Now it "syncs" for few seconds and thats it..."You're up to date".

  • I had the same issue about the 100% directly after connecting the charger when watch was 0%. After a deep reset is was 0%. But that only happened once.

    Did you notice how quick the watch was charged? I had once it goes very quick from 80 to 100%. But the way back was also quick as you mentioned (100 >  appr 80%). After that I directly connected the charger again and now it took more time to reach the 100%. Then I left the charger connected for more  then one hour. 
    Since then I didn't saw this issue happen again.

  • Yes, I noticed that charge from 62% back to 100% was really fast. And yes, I also let it to charge extra hour even VA4 told that it was full.

  • I'm unable to click on a notification to get the details anymore with the new notification style.  I have to scroll to the notification widget to see the details.  Annoying that extra steps are added to see this, would like a quicker way to see notifications.

    Also - there are Connect IQ data fields that are not visible when the background is set to black instead of white.   You can see the title of the app in the field, but it's as if the font color doesn't change for the data itself to white when the background is changed to black.  Specifically I am seeing this issue with Finish Time Predictor and Estimated Body Temperature. 

  • I agree about the new notification style! Very annoying!!

  • Hi, anyone still have battery drain problem ?
    My watch in most of time despite resets have more than 1% per hour.
    Of course I have everything set up to battery preformance. Only HR and BT on.

    Anyone know something to solve this problem ?

  • Are you using some 3rd party watchface? Most of the time that's the problem.
