My Gear S2 (non phone version) has been running with no battery issues where it would last up to 36 hours. Bluetooth active, Sleep as Android etc. I started to get a cache full on my S7 in late January 2017 so I told it to clear cash and it seemed to start the problem. I did have music on my watch and had about 1 gb of memory left.
The battery started to last maybe 5 to 6 hours. I did a full reset/rebuild on the watch and went to base settings but it only added a couple of hours.
Based on use and past performance I have to believe that it was a recent update to either the watch or phone.
Please advise as to issue cause and how to restore the watch to it's former battery capacity.
So, out of the clear blue, not moving, sitting at my desk. The watch started to get warm on my wrist. Dropped from 76% to 70% in just a few minutes.. I would let the watch go dark.. wait a minute.. hit the button to light the face.. 74%.. let it go dark.. wait a minute.. light the face.. hit the battery icon.. 70%. Just in the time writing this post.. its now 67%.
I have the same problem. I can actually watch the battery indicator on my Gear S2 count down in a matter of minutes. This started happening after a major uodate a few months ago. I have the 3G version.
Hey mate, any difference on the battery time? I've realized that I have the same problem with mine, I've started to use it after a long time and realized that I can't finish a bloody day with it without charging it. I've tried the cache / data tip and will see how it goes today.
