Found this app while searching Apps & Games section works very well but still in Beta stage, make sure to thank the developer at this original thread of app. PS : double tap to sleep is not implemented, use any Xposed module or some app from Play for the same,and don't try using it on any other devices without an OLED display as this keeps the screen on even while sleeping but since OLED use no power and have pitch black there should be no problems but other devices without OLED displays might have some issues, have a good day! ;)

no batt drain with knockr?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FdeKlerk:
Knockr.

Hay guys.

So "Knockr" does what it says, the only part is the LED control of your device.

This app does not allow the LED, so no notification LED's will be visible, but on the up side.

I did not see any massive battery drainage issues, so that's a thumbs up :good:.

Now i have an idea/request.

In the normal lockscreen of the note 3, I would like an simple fully transparent lock icon and ring what you may call it.

No ripple effect and those.

Does anybody know of such method?

"Knockr" its okey but maybe should fix something like BUG

Post your battery stats here:

So far I am able to get 4 days with a single charge if I keep the display off and turn on only when I want. I also keep the brightness to 2.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] polish_pat:
i was able to get a full 5.5 days with display off and brighness on 2, sleep mode every night and pushing all notifs to watch and some calls
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] fastmike:
Almost 4 days here but have a tendency to charge when reaching 20% to avoid going flat wrong time ;)
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] flipq88:
Usually get around 3-4 days. With brightness at 5 and the gesture on. But I turn it off when I go to bed
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Equ:
Got with first charge 6.5 days. 3 days (only watch) and 3 days (watch/pedometer/heart rate and so on). Got about ~10% battery left yet. With brightness at 4 and no hand gesture.

I'm only getting 18-22 hours when paired with my Galaxy Note 3. What is wrong? Brightness is 3 and motion is on. Just a few notifications activated.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] gled:
Samsung apps version or mix of version, I sorted that by removing every bit of samsung apps on my z1 and then reinstalled only GearManager1_2.apk. Now back to 3-4days depending on the time I spent on the phone with the gear
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] opdrago:
my phone use is here and there calls, if i have along time call im using my phone.

also notification: facebook, skype, whatsapp etc..

after 7pm when im home i'm switching the phone off and open it at 7am in the morning. brightness X 4, motion detect on, all of that is 4 days plus in use single charge.

my phone is s4 zoom.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] robertlewisca:
I'm at about 75 hours or so (just over 3 days) with 40% battery still remaining. I have text, email (push from Exchange), phone, Google and Skype notifications being pushed to the watch. I'm using the weather clock face. Brightness is at 3, the gesture is off. I don't turn the phone or watch off at night, although the screen isn't being used all night because I'm sleeping.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] joyo22:
I guess my watch is defective then. I can't even get it to work for 24 hours. What could it be? My Note 3's battery seems unaffected, though.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] dorrien12:
I am 3 days and 7 hrs and my battery is at 15%. Brightness at 2%, Screen timeout at 10 sec, gesture off, only phone and sms w/a few phone calls and I turn it off at night. How can I get longer battery life.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] opdrago:
end of day four and i have 13% left, it can go to day five but there is no need.

the Average use of the NEO is 4 days in a single charge.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] bruj:
Not sure if this is really hardware issue. Mine went from 100% to 20% in about 5 hours. Samsung replaced as defective without asking any further questions. However the new one behaves similarly. This morning 100% to 88% in mere 40minutes... Then I switched off BT on phone - no change on Gear battery level in the next half hour.

So I suspect this is rather something on the phone. I started discovery with Samsung customer service. I will see what happens.

Any idea from anyone? I have a Note 2.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] al16000:
I know for a fact that I can barely squeeze 2 days out of the battery (so compared to 3 or 4 days easy for others, seems like something is wrong). If I turn bluetooth off, it seems like (based on 10 hours or so with it off) that I could go over a week, so I'm guessing it has something to do with my phone's bluetooth connection or a bug with something on the phone. I have an s3. Definitely let us know if they find out what the problem is.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] gottahavit:
As an Idea, as I had an issue with the gear 1, go to the gear 1 forum and get the 1.6 version of the gear manager and see if that helps. I am using the latest gear manager with the note 2, but I had major issues with the gear 1 and installing 1.6 fixed the issues.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] al16000:
I just got the 4.4 update from Sprint yesterday (for my S3). So far, I'm losing less than 1% per hour even with watch connected to phone. Looks like I'll get 3+ days on this run. Problem might be solved! (I'll report back once I've had a few days like this).
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] wayfr-v2.0:
Paired with Galaxy Note2.

Brightness on 5.

I don't use the pedometer or heart rate features.

Most of the time I can get almost 2 days.

I've found that some of the watch faces and other apps on Samsung Apps can be real battery hogs.

For example... I tried using "Roman Watch Style" from the app store and couldn't even get a full day out of it. After uninstalling, it immediately went back up around 2 days.

At the end of the 2nd day I usually have around 7% left.

Battery life seems to be fairly consistent. At the end of the 1st day I'm usually just over 50%. By the end of the 2nd, it's borderline dead.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] xformulax:
4-ish days per charge.

Stock S4 (T-mo), Bluetooth connected 24/7

Bright 2

15 second screen timeout

Gesture off

Notifications (10+ apps)

Use sleep track every night

Pedometer on 24/7

Toggle a few watch faces between every day or every couple days (styler, LED alarm, etc).

(all software/firmware at current versions)

amazed at the battery life and the notification/bluetooth range (usually just leave my phone upstairs when i hang out downstairs in my man cave)
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] joyo22:
I auto-quote myself to tell you that after performing a full reset on the Gear 2 Neo and installing a new ROM on my Note 3, battery life is amazing. I can get 3 days if I don't turn it off. If I do overnight, I get 6 days!!! It seems it wasn't a defective watch after all.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] akwaman:
Watch Battery Life AS EXPECTED

I read a couple of reviews that said the battery of the Gear 2 Neo would not last more than 1 day.

Under normal use, I use 25-50% battery life per day.

I would say that this figure matches the amount the battery life that Samsung Boasts in their stats.

I do not play around with the watch a lot, just send/receive messages, make/answer calls, check the time alot.

I have all the settings on highest, ie: sound, display... etc. :laugh:
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] igotgame:
I've found how to maximize my watches battery life.

I've had it off the charger since last Thursday and the battery is at 55%.

I don't use the sleep function of the watch so I power it down at night and when I'm not using it at home. When I go to leave I put it on and power it on, which takes about 15 secs.

I have motion on, brightness at 3, vibrate only. I've answered calls, receive text, read emails and text on it over the last 6 days when I'm out and about. It seems like powering it down at night makes a big difference in how long it will last. I also keep it powered off while I'm at home as I don't wear a watch around the house usually.

At the rate I'm going.. I'll probably go another 4-5 days without charging.

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] dorrien12:
Please keep us updated. ..
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] igotgame:
I certainly will.. I work from home most of the time so this has been light to medium use (although I wore it on the weekend and Monday all day) but I have noticed that it doesn't seem to lose any battery at all while it's powered off even over extended periods of time. I actually saw it gain 2% one time on powering it back on.

So basically what I am doing is when I get home and take it off, power it off. When I go to leave or go outside to work in the yard, which I've done, power it on. Obviously I don't power it off if I am only going to be home for a few minutes, but that doesn't happen too often.

Besides powering it off, I'm using it like a normal smartwatch and not trying to baby the battery. I'm going to keep using it like this until it dies... See how far I can push it.

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] al16000:
I'm now going to get a solid 3 days+ out of the battery. I'm at 52% starting the 3rd day. Changes since this last update - upgraded to an s4, which seems to make a decent difference (perhaps it handles the bluetooth connection better?). To get this battery life, I'm powering down at night (around 10 or 11), and then power up when I head out for the day (6:30 or 7 am). Other than that, I've got bluetooth on and I'm using it as normal. 4 days would probably be a tight squeeze, but 3 days seems like it will be easy to squeeze out of it.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] joyo22:
I do the same and I get up to 5 days of battery life. This device rocks.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] dorrien12:
Are you turning it on and off at specific times of the day?
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] joyo22:
Yes. Turn it on at 8am and it goes off at 1am aprox.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] dorrien12:
Thanks......so how many days did you end up getting on that one charge?
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] igotgame:
Just an update from me... Wore it almost all day today and talked through it about 10 minutes too.. Just powered it down with 36% left on battery.. Yea it's been off the charger since the morning of May 1st. I won't be charging it tonight either. I know I'll wear it about half the day tomorrow too so we'll see where the battery is tomorrow night.

When i wear it for a full day at work (7am-5pm or so)...by powering down when I get home and for the night... I seem to lose on average about 15% during a normal day with it.

Give or take.. During a normal work week if I actually work in the office everyday, it would last 5-6 days probably. Since I work from home most of the time... I'll be on day 9 in the morning with the battery around 35%.

Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] joyo22:
5 to 6 days. Motion on and brightness set to 3
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] robber:
I don't understand why you would power down at night and not charge it? I get 2 days with hundreds of notifications per day. If I have a chance to throw it on the charger I do, but I use it to measure my steps so I only do that if I am showering or reading etc. You could not kill the battery in a day if you tried, this is all that matters to me.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] joyo22:
In my case, I don't charge it everyday since my dog kinda messed up the charger. Now, it's a pain in the ass to get the device fully charged without experiencing disconnections.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] igotgame:
I'm on day 10 without charging it... This is with motion on, brightness at 3.

I'm not going to put it on the charger when I know the battery will last me all the next day with no worries. What's the point?

I didn't put in on the charger last night and the battery was at 24%. I won't kill the battery today either I don't believe, but I will probably charge it tonight.

If I can go a week+ without having to worry about charging it.. That's pretty damn good.

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] robber:
Li-ion would prefer to stay topped off rather than fully discharged/recharged. Plus, isn't there a benefit to having a full charge in case something unexpected happens?

To each their own. 10 days is pretty impressive.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] bruj:
Seems like I have solved the battery issue. Yesterday I did a factory reset. Apps reloaded, now after more than a day I'm at 64%
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] kbboykin:
I use the pedometer and watch faces. I am coming from the Gear 1. I just got the watch on 5/9, but the battery life is barely 24-36 hrs if I'm lucky. Notifications are on and that's about it. :(
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] dorrien12:
Adjust some settings; I have mine set to the minimun I can stand;

-Brightness at #2.

-Screen timeout is at 10 sec

-Wake the watch by pushing the button instead of by a flick of the wrist.

I only have one clock face that I bought for a $1, and I use the free calculator. I use the exercise for walking or running. I use notifications for incoming and outgoing calls and text messages only. I don't need it for anything else. Leaving it on, I get 4 days, probably can double that if I turn it off at night.

Anything more I need, I use my phone. Hope this helps!!!
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] RemyL75:
With brightness on 4, screen off abd about 60% of notices going to watch, I am getting about 104 hours (4 days, 8 hours). I will say that I do not let it get below 10% as I do not want to run the chance of forgetting to charge it.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] fcjr77:
I just bought mine three days ago. I have the brightness at 3 and notifications on, but am only getting about 18-20 hours. Should I give it time to settle in since I have been doing quite a bit on it to get it setup or is the battery bad and I should take it back? Thanks.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] dorrien12:
Adjust your settings first, I get 4 days but my brightness is at 2, Screen timeout is at 10 sec and I don't use the auto wake to flick, I push the home button, plus some apps drain it as well. It also depends on your usage, of course heavy use is gonna drain it. I get sms, phone notifications, I make calls from the watch and do s voice sms. I would say for medium usage for me. I would try that first and see.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] barondebxl:
I'm on my 3rd day with 26% left. More than enough for me.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] fcjr77:
I will try that. I get multiple notifications from work email app, sms, calendar and phone calls. Today I'm at 71% after 10 hours. That's better than before. Hopefully that's a sign that it's getting better.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] barondebxl:
Yesterday my battery dropped like crazy. I have had the neo for about 5 days. The first 3 days battery life was good but the past 2 days it sucked big time. It drop from 80 % to 41 % in 2 hours then 2 hours later it was at 4%. The watch was in idle most of that time.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Guitarfreak26:
That's happened to me too recently.. Also WhatsApp isn't pushing notifications despite being selected in gear manager.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] barondebxl:
A friend of mine was playing with the watch so maybe she did something with it.

Anyways i have done a factory reset and it's all good now.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] dorrien12:
Had my Gear 2 Neo for a couple of weeks, been running various test and with my settings if I do nothing battery drops about 1% a hr.

Brightness: 2

Screen: 10 sec

Wakeup: to button

Notify: phone & sms only

I turned it on at 6:43 pm on Tues and it had 75%. I made 4 phone calls (one was a 4 min call on the watch, the others I immediately switched to the phone), and had 4 sms.

At 11:53pm my battery was at 43%. So in 5 hrs., it dropped 32%, thats a lot. That's like 6% an hr.

On other days I have used it and it hasn't had that big of a drop. I've made phone calls and some text, used the exercise and heart monitor and it has yet to drop like that.

I read where people are saying their watches start acting up later, has anyone experienced a drop like this?
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] oromis:
3 days with Note 2.

sleeping time on every night

BUT last time 2 days only... I dont know why, and my Note 2 and S3 battery drained faster too...
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] JimSmith94:
Did you have your watch paired to both phones at the same time? I didn't know you could do that.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] oromis:
No. My Samsung galaxy s3 I never connect with gear 2 yet.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] JimSmith94:

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] gottahavit:
Switched to the Note 3 last week from Note 2, still getting 4+ days out of a charge, drops about 20% per day with no calls, but it depends on if and how many calls I make with it. Definitely using it for placing calls drains the battery fast.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] obsydian:
Two days if lucky, can achieve 4 days if switch off 6 PM to 6 AM.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] obsydian:
For me, at first it was not an issue, but given my S4 runs flat quicker now (due to the Neo apps and server) it is an issue.

Samsung thought so also, as that was one of the issues they tried to address with the second generation.

Hi,

I just bought GEAR 2 NEO this weekend and could not get more than 12 hours :(

battery drains fast, I already recharge it all night with the same result.

I really appreciate any suggestions, I have the galaxy note 3 connected all the time via bluetooth to the watch, the battery on the smartphone is working fine...
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] SilentAce07:
Sorry to hear that.

There have been a few reports that performing a factory reset fixes that type of battery drain.

hi, I just received a new Galaxy Gear 2 Neo, charged for 6 hours, 100%

Installed some apps including Watch Styler,

battery lasted only 7 hours :(

I have CUSTOM ROM X-NOTE VERSION 18, maybe is a rom problem.... I will flash a stock rom this night and check what happens tomorrow...
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] joyo22:
I also have XNote installed. You should first update the Gear app as well as the Gear 2 Neo. When you're done updating, perform a factory reset on the watch. That'd do the job. Battery life is 3 days for me.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] rorijam:
Hi,

I already tried factory reset with no success...but

I just installed a new ROM Omega v21 and turned off the auto screen on feature, installed many apps, watch styler and 20 watch faces, notification enabled for 10 apps aprox, currently I had 88% battery after 5 hours of heavy use!

The watch updated automatically, but I had to reinstall all apps, including calcs, games, calendar, todo list, cnn, appy geek, chaos control, gear chess, google tasks, timer, news republic, daily expense, simple calc, news reader, my notes, just write and easyly Do, matrix clock, etc...

Maybe I found a cure for my case....
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] rorijam:
update:

After 11 hours and 50 minutes....70% of battery left with heavy use, analog clock by watch styler, and motion sensor disabled.

Cheers
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] obsydian:
Easily 4 days, was roughly 25% per day left on 24/7 with motion on, brightness 4 and all notifications on - so awesome compared to my watch bought and quickly returned at launch.

No I am powering off at night and motion is off, 2 days on only 30% down.

I installed the Big Clock watch styler looks cool and I feel it isn't using as much juice ???
