[Sony Smartwatch] Tonio78370:
Hi,

I got a LG R a couple of weeks ago to use besides the SW2 and to be honest, in my opinion Android Wear still has a very (very, very,...) long way to go.

Hardware wise: (remember this is my personal opinion...)

many people are complaining about BT connection problems and I am one of them. If the watch and the phone are "out of sight" too long, they have difficulties picking up connection and often it's a reboot for both to get in business again. This can also happen if your phone goes in to deep sleep, often there is no reaction although both are connected. Also: no Internet, no function as a lot of stuff happens through "the cloud"

launching apps can be a mess because, what I think is the problem: if you're not fast enough and the watch goes back in to dimmed-mode, the app just doesn't launch and you have to start it again.

there also seems to be a problem with most of the apps/watch faces that where developed before the official Google dev-kit was released. Many of them either suck battery or cause failures and for the moment you're better of using the "naked" watch if you don't want troubles. Personally I have only two non-google apps/faces installed as everything else just messes up.

Android Wear just came in Lollipop (5.something version) and this seems to be the cause of some bugs when paired with 4.x android phones.

Battery is mediocre with any AW watch. Moto 360 seems the worst, my LG R can manage two days with little notifications and low use. Heavy users will be charging every night

Software wise: (again this is what I think of it...)

Android Ware (AW) is really a very simplistic mirror of what you have on your phone and its very far from logical. Specially in the beginning you wipe away notifications you'd like to keep and no way to get them back.

The wiping and swiping is a pain in the neck. To launch an app there is a lot of movements to do before your app starts. There is a launcher to make things easier but as it doesn't seem to be updated for Lollipop, I deleted it to avoid problems.

The thing I like with the Sony is that you can read the complete message if you want. On AW you get the title and a few words, to read it all you need to pull out your phone.

I surely lack neurones because if I find the SW2 logical (intuitive) AW is confusing to me...

It is because I got the LG R relatively cheap and that I like the looks otherwise I would have sold it and kept my SW2. Unless you can afford "the adventure", the SW2, to me, is still up to date and, if Sony keeps on updating the software, will stay it for a while (= until AW becomes more that weakly mirroring of the phone).
[Moto 360] azwraithmeow:
Has anyone experienced a much faster drain on your phone with your moto 360 connected? I have LG G3 which has a great battery life to start with but I have noticed my phone charge is much lower now then it used to be normally.
[Moto 360] abuttino:
No. But my device seemed to be a bit more laggy..
[Moto 360] ajamils:
Yes, I noticed the same with Note 3.
[Moto 360] Karmavore:
Yes, I'm having incredible drain. It seems to be the "running sync loop" thing. That's the reason. Although I don't know why.
[Moto 360] abuttino:
You have wearable widgets installed?
[Moto 360] johnomaz:
I haven't noticed any additional drain on my LG G3.
[Moto 360] motoridersd:
I just got my 360 and my G3 is definitely draining faster. Android Wear is using up a lot of battery.
[Moto 360] Mspire:
Massive Battery Drain Xperia Z Ultra [Kitkat] from Androidwear app.

I'm glad i'm not the only one with this problem. I've noticed a massive battery drain on my Xperia ZU going from 100% to 50% in less than 4 hours ever since I got the 360. I've discovered that out of all of the processes I have running on the phone, the Android Wear app seems to the culprit (which would explain how hot the back gets on the phone).

The ZU's battery life isnt the greatest but it used to at least last me the whole day before I go to bed and (that's with heavy usage throughout the day). With light usage, usually I can get away with 30% of battery before hitting the hay.

Thoughts? sounds like we need an update...
[Moto 360] motoridersd:
What wear apps do you have installed? There might be something using it up. Maybe something that uses your location?
[Moto 360] Mspire:
I uninstalled any wear apps, androidwear, and moto connect this morning in addition to resetting the 360. I re-paired the watch and only kept the standard app configurations: Agenda - Android Wear, Count Steps - Fit, and Navigate - Google Maps Micro. Even then I'm still draining battery...I just hit 32% since unplugging the phone with 100% @ 8:15 this morning (almost 5 hrs ago - Moto360 is at 70%). I've barely gotten maybe 6 notifications so far..
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
I've noticed no change in battery life at all with a 360 and my Moto X.
[Moto 360] motoridersd:
There's definitely a huge drain for me. My G3 was at 20% by 3 PM today, when usually I can get all the way to 10 PM before I hit those levels. My SOT is not even that high yet. I can tell the phone is not deep sleeping properly.
[Moto 360] TabGuy:
Yes, very serious drain. Phone dead by 4pm. But, here's how I solved it.
[Moto 360] motoridersd:
Yeah, I just uninstalled the Android Wear and Motorola Connect apps from my phone and reinstalled them. Still too early to tell but my phone is sleeping better now than it was yesterday.
[Moto 360] azwraithmeow:
Yeah im not sure if its because I have a lot of things going on in my phone or if my phone is just getting laggy from the moto 360
[Moto 360] dpwhitty11:
I have better battery life now that I have my 360. Galaxy S5.
[Moto 360] machoua:
I'm getting the same. I used to get 5 hours on screen time with 14 hours of use. Now I get 3 hours onscreen time with 12 hours of use. That's 2 hours on screen time gone!

I used wakelock detector and it shows the Android wear app had 4586 wakelocks!!! In one day. Wtf! HOSTWITHRPCCALLBACK is the culprit. And system shows android is accountable for 12 percent battery drain. Compared to the next one, which is phone at 3 percent.

I did notice my battery drained like a mother.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Moto 360] tlxxxsracer:
Battery life is about the same. I do know I have to have my wifi/data on all the time now for the 360 to work properly. Before I had turn wifi off when screen is off and wifi on when plugged in.

Lg G2 still goes easily 24hrs+
[Moto 360] kandelai:
That was one of the first things I noticed when I got the Moto 360, my Nexus 5's battery was draining more rapidly. Isn't leaving Bluetooth on anyway a big battery drainer?

I normally have it off, until I need it.
[Moto 360] motoridersd:
Not that big of a drain. I had a Pebble before with Bluetooth on all the time and a constant Bluetooth LE connection and there is definitely a difference in phone battery life with the Moto 360
[Moto 360] kandelai:
Good to know, thanks. Hopefully they will correct this in an update.
[Moto 360] TabGuy:
I have a Note 3 and have bluetooth on all the time. I don't have battery issues because of it but the Note has a 3200 mah battery so it may be draining and I don't notice or care.
[Moto 360] Beagan:
Anyone have a fix for this yet?
[Moto 360] DarkRyoushii:
Xperia Z3 owner here, coming from a Original Pebble to a Moto 360 I have actually noticed an increase in battery life after uninstalling the pebble companion app in favor of the android wear app.

Just food for thought I guess :)
[Moto 360] Beagan:
After doing some research into the problem. I noticed that the fit app on the phone, thats linked with the watch has a lot of wakelocks (over 200 in the last hour or so). I am currently using greenify to stop it from running when the phone is on standby.

I will leave the phone tonight and see where the battery percentage is at in the morning.

UPDATE:

SOLVED

I found that google search was creating a lot of wakelocks - after using greenify to disable it, i found my battery also increased dramatically. Also I disabled google now
[Moto 360] Pikaman:
Same Issue

I have the same issue, went from 4 hrs SOT to less than 1 hour on my M7. I noticed that the android wear process is hogging my cpu, this explains the drain but not the cause. Apparently it has something to do with closed ports on wifi if you read through this thread: https://productforums.google.com/forum/?nomobile=true#!category-topic/android-wear/-1Crx26hm6k . very frustrating as there is nothing I can do about it apparently.
[Moto 360] arinjayw:
Has anyone got any solution to this. I observed this on my Samsung galaxy s6.. that too usually when am doing any activity wearing watch.
[Moto 360] austontatious:
After a couple days, what are your feels?
[Moto 360] spinedoc:
I like it, my issues are not with the hardware, although I won't lie and say I don't wish for more battery life. My issues are with how beta android wear feels. Hopefully google will give it some TLC, but google seems like a company that puts a lot of effort into something, releases it then forgets it.

Anyhoo, especially after seeing the atrocity that is the apple watch I'm going to keep my 360 and of course eventually grab a Note 4. It's kind of a gimmick right now, but at least it's a nice looking gimmick and I'll give google the benefit of the doubt.
[Moto 360] ChrisAshton84:
I have no problems with the speed of it - haven't noticed any stuttering or anything that people have mentioned. However, the battery is complete crap. I tried to use it today when I played 18 holes of golf w/ the Swing by Swing app (which actually works _very_ well w/ the watch, showing distance and letting you input your scores on the watch). The watch went from 95% to 0% on hole 12, about 3 hours in (slow play!). I only turned the watch on a few times a hole and didn't get any messages or anything in the meanwhile. The watch has also gone from 100% to 5% when used as a sleep tracker for 5 1/2 hours.
[Moto 360] Dusty Rhodes:
It's OK. I realized from day one that this is SQUARELY first/early adopter territory. As far as the battery goes, luckily, recharging takes only a little time. I found the secret is the mid day recharge. I turned off ambient mode and my phone was at 75% after almost 5 hours. Over lunch I tossed it on an old Nokia charger I had for 20 minutes and had over 90%. Right now it's 8:30p and I have 60%.

Midday charge while you're at the desk for 20 minutes erases all worries. Should you have to do it... No. But if you do it eliminates a pretty annoying issue.

The leather band annoys me, because I hate leather bands. The Pebble bands don't do it for me, just my opinion sorry, just being honest. Was it so fu^king hard to allow enough room for any band? The "notch" is just a slap in the face.
[Moto 360] spinedoc:
Yep, we all have to realize we are kind of alpha testing here. The Moto 360 version 2 will probably be decent, and version 3 will be awesome.
[Moto 360] bmg1001:
And maybe by the next version Motorola find a way to keep the small bezel and have a fully round screen.
[Moto 360] slaydog:
I agree, it's OK. I sold my Gear 2 to get this because I didn't like the square/plastic combo, and thought I didn't like the OS, but frankly the way the interface worked was much better than Android Wear. It had a great looking display and got 3-4 days of battery life!

But it's a watch, so looks mean a lot... I may have to return this bad boy and wait for the LG R, or the Moto 362, lol...

-My only hope is that since this is Android there will be some decent development happening, but after reading some posts I'm not so sure...
[Moto 360] Techno79:
I'm in the UK so still waiting for it to be released here. Blessing in disguise for me as I'm not one to be an early adopter so by the time it is released, I'll have the wealth of knowledge from US user comments/reviews before I pull the trigger on it.
[Moto 360] TheEmpyre:
I think the device is doing quite well for a first release. The battery on ambient mode lasts all the way until I get home from work and will last a workout as well counting all my steps and monitoring my heart rate several times. I also think overall the watch looks pretty executive. Has a professional look and feel to it. Can't help but think all the square smart watches are too "kid-like".

As previously mentioned, once android wear adds features and apps start catching up I think there is really great potential for the device.
[Moto 360] its_dale:
I love it. Does what I need it to do, which is notify me and let me respond to texts and certain apps. I can use it for navigation and some Google questions. I take it off the charger around 6am and by the time i charge it at night (around 10pm) it still has 30-40%. I am a light user... meaning, I dont need (and turned off) Google Now (watch telling me info w/out asking). I don't care for step count or heart rate cuz I run at night anyway. I dont care to add games or browsing apps on it. That is what my phone is for. What I use it for may not be worth $250, but its the best looking (IMO) and there are not much AW options out right now.

Just glad I don't have to constantly check my phone for any important notifications from work or family.

The only thing i wish it had was a speaker phone.
[Moto 360] RMXO:
I'm on my 4th day and really like it but I'll be honest I wished Samsung had a round watch and running Android Wear all because I plan to get the Note 4.

Besides that my battery seemed to improve with every charge. Only thing I wish was to be able to turn off vibration and still see notifications when it comes. So far if I scroll top to bottom it will turn off vibration and notifications. Unless I'm doing it wrong.
[Moto 360] APeaceofStrange:
After the 1st day of having it I thought I would sell it because I didn't think the watch did much and I thought I'd be judged by friends and coworkers for buying a smart watch (half kidding) but android wear has grown on me and everyone who's seen it loves it.

Literally any 2012 android flagship is better

literally any phablet is better, never mind the note 2, 3, 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richieboy67:
My brother uses iPhone and when I ask him about features he said "it just works".. lol

He also said Android crashes alot. Not sure where he heard that my stock rooted n4 had never " crashed".

I think though the iPhone would be ok if the price was inline with premium android phones. I really like the build quality but the price is insane. The day I go out and spend over $1100 for a phone is the day it will have lady parts.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtalum:
We all laugh because iPhone 6/6+ finally add things we had in 2012, but in reality I'd say Apple finally caught back up to Android. All the main features of Android are now present in the iPhone 6/6+. I'm shocked that Apple finally gave up Steve Jobs' silly notion that large screens are bad. 4.7" and 5.5" are solid screen size options that cover most people'swishes.

You still have to deal with Apple's closed ecosystem. In terms of phone lockdown, though, since carriers in the US are locking down Android handsets more and more that point becomes less of an issue here in the US.

I'm still primarily considering Note 4 and Nexus X/6/5(2014)/whatever to replace my Note II, but this is finally a new serious contender from Apple.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Satorikn:
I had a 8.4 LTE (705) that i sold to a friend, because he needed right away and couldn't wait for shipping.

I bought another one but this one is LOUD when it vibrates, sounds as if the vibration motor was grinding something.

It helps if i lower the vibration intensity in the settings but, the default vibration (i.e. startup or TWRP or anything outside TW) is just too strong and noisy.

Did i get a defective vibration motor? Is there a setting to overwrite the default strength of it? It sounds like miscalibration.

Anybody else with this issue?

Thanks!

A couple weeks ago I came up wiith a list of things that you can do to maintain your device.

This little page is split into two parts, The Cynical version and The real version.

The Cynical version is meant to be funny and not offensive at all

The Real version is some ideas for maintaining your device

Enjoy! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-jlycfsxF5hPek0zYg6zUUnb5xv16vhH5ZbS2EVJLSs/edit?usp=sharing

[Off-topic] Stuart Little:
I think the two parts are both meant to be funny, we have two kinds of members here on XDA, Developers and Noobs and they both know at least how to maintain their device.

Noobs on XDA are not Noobs like there are in real life, every member is having enough knowledge to know about this.

Maybe you can better share this on other forums with a smaller average amount of intelligent members IQ ;)
