Battery life not lasting even 24 hours since the Timezone update on 23/04/21

Former Member over 3 years ago

Has anyone else experienced battery being drained with 24 hours since the latest update on 23/04/21.

I have not changed any settings. The battery is just dying within 1 day.

Please help!

Same here, and with a family member as well (both Vivoactive 4s). Resolved by rebooting the watch (press top button 3 seconds, select power button and power off; wait a few seconds then press top button…

In that case, I've moved your thread to the vivoactive 4 forum for better visibility.

It's only been the past two weeks that my batteries been barely lasting 20 hours. And I wouldn't mind, I've got the darkness as low as it goes, the standby on, it's not even connected up to the internet, and having read up on a few routines to carry out, one said: - dim your brightness (which it's already as low as it goes), cut of internet/mobile connectivity when not using it (which it's never been used), turn off heart rate, pulse, steps etc, but personally if I knew that was going to be the case I would have bought myself a calculator watch of £15, never mind the £270 I've spent on the Garmin. It's insured, so I'm going to get onto the insurance company who I bought the watch from. But if the matter isn't resolved, I'm not going to be a happy chappy, as all-in-all, I've spent over £530 on the watches, as I bought one for my wife too.

If you have any hints or tips, I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance. David J. Dougherty
