Update for galaxy watch 2 kills the battery

Zimmermann · ‎11-01-2022

A few days ago i updated the firmware of my galaxy watch active 2 to the FW r820xxu1fvh4, but 2 days later the battery, which would last for almost 3 days suddenly doesn't last 10 hours.

Tried to reset, delete, reset again but nothing helped.

Anyone had the same problem could fix it?

I'm having the same problem. I didn't make the connection with the update, so thanks for that. Unfortunately, I don't have a fix.

The watch is now dead...

Won't even charge...

Give the watch a couple days to get used to the new software. Sometimes updating devices can cause then to loose battery faster, get laggier, and get hotter.

Give it a couple days and hopefully your battery life will get better.

It may happen during the update process, not after or even after a reset.

If it happens is something did by the devoleper when the software was not properly tested.

Since the last update merged somethings of the watch 5, they may have not made the unity test for it causing some incompatibility.
