Vivoactive 4 battery life

Former Member over 5 years ago

I just bought a vivoactive 4 and my battery life is about 2.5 days. I charged it again yesterday, and now I am at 68% battery after one day. Any ideas as to why? I was expecting about 7 days without GPS.

Bad firmware (again) in my opinion.

It is happening the same for Vivoactive 3 Music.

For me, it doesn't last more than one day, even after a factory reset.

I have a Vivoactive 3 and after the last firmware update my battery life has dropped from about 4 days to 1.5 days if I am lucky. Very disappointed.

Wrong forum This is the VA3 forum. After all the horror stories I've read on the VA4 forum, I am happy to stick with 3.

AFA the VA3 battery issue goes, I updated to 7.20 and I don't use but 3 watch faces from CIQ. A couple I tried drained the battery badly. I also turned off gesture screen wake since I feel it's a useless feature. Consider how many times a day while wearing it the screen wakes when you're not even looking at it. I set my backlight length to short and brightness to 10%. I get five days usage with at least 3 GPS activities. YMMV.
