Anyone else getting increaswd battery drain and glitches on 13.22 again?

  1. Ive recently updated to 13.22 and the battery drain issue is back. Using 50% in two days with only two short (under 60 mins) activities. Also started getting screen glitches again. Anyone else having a new plethora of bugs? It’s getting old in the 955.
  • I do not have any of the issues you mention. Have you down a long power down reset as suggested by many post a FW update?

  • Yes same here. Maximum 5 days with one battery load. Only smartwatch mode. 

  • For me, the watch develops faster only when I have sensor search on (chest belt, Tempe and bluetooth headphones), so I always turn it off.

  • I think I notice an increase in battery consumption since 5-6 months ago.

    But I can still live with it. 

    But so far no major bugs with 13.22. Fingers crossed.

  • I notice it once in a while/per charge. After the charge battery lasts, it loses I guess less than 4.5% a day...and then happens a period where it loses couple of % in a couple of hours. The watch is always in airplane mode. This morning it was on 44%, now 5-6 hours later is on 41% without touching a single button during that period. A bit frustrating.

  • I have the watch for 1 month now, so no historical data to compare. But I reviewed my activities last week, calculate the expected usage (given the  information from Garmin). It should be somewhere about 54%, but in real it is 73%. Next charge session I will look at it again.

  • yes, v13.22 is a complete mess - has caused a number of significant new bugs including battery drain and sync issues. i haven't seen screen glitches myself but not surprised

    no acknowledgement of the situation from garmin and it does not apear that fixes for any of these issues are in v14

  • How bad is your battery drain issue like ?

  • its erratic but typically goes down by about 10% overnight with no usage other than background HR etc monitoring. it doesn't actually seem to be any worse during the day when in normal use which is really weird - its like the watch keeps doing everything even if you're not using it.

    eg i charged it just under 24 hours ago now and its showing 79%, about half that drain was overnight. no activities, minimal use, default settings. this is a near new watch after garmin replaced mine in a desperate attempt to get me to stop complaining!

    so on that basis you're looking at about 5 days use max with no activities rather than the specified 15. throw in some gps use and you're probably down to about 3 days.

    i call that pretty bad

  • 1) It's good you return back the watch. Now they can experiment with the watch and find the root cause.

    2).Since your watch is newly setup, probably wait for a few more days when all the syncing is done.

    3) Do you switch on the spo2 ? If no, it's quite massive drain then. I switch on spo2 at night. Over the 24 hours period, I think my battery drain is about 0.5% per hour or 12% per day.
