Since I installed the 4.30 firmware update and recharged the battery to 100% last night, the battery drained to about 40% in about 18 hours with no GPS activity. Anybody else experience this?
No Strava Live Segments, but it is connected to the mobile app a fair amount, no more than usual, 'though.
Didn't connect to the mobile app since last night and it is still draining the batter incredibly fast. More than 50% drained in about 15 hours with no GPS and half of this was sleeping.
The last few days my battery was dying sooner and sooner. Yesterday I charged it up to 100% at 10am, didn't use GPS at all, and it died overnight, sometime before 4am this morning. Not even 18 hours with no GPS. But now the watch won't even charge at all so I'm beginning to think it is just a defective watch and these issues may not even be related to the firmware update. Long, long wait for product support specialist on Garmin's 800 number.
i think my battery consumption is a bit higher with the new firmware (v4.xx) as well, but nothing i would call a drain (like battery being flat over night) . i can live with the usage i see at the moment and regard this as a can't have your cake and eat it situation. live segments require high cpu use, so of course battery consumption will be higher.
Used to charging the 735xt approx. 1 once per week, since 4.3 firmware I had to charge it twice. Will pay closer attention to battery consumption from now, perhaps it's only my imagination that I'm only getting about half the usage now.
6 days, including 4 hours of GPS workouts with HRM4-RUN. Unfortunately I don't have any "older" battery stats from before 4.30 but atleast it's seems better then the first week of segment enabling, when the watch was often showing "updating".
