[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
I've restored my SW3 to perfect health with only 2% battery left, so I guess the watch is using less then USB can deliver, when side-loading or re-flashing it using PC Companion... Just go for it, the update doesn't really take long, I think it's about 50 seconds to flash the zip and then some seconds to do an initial app optimization, during which the device can already charge.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
I was going to flash it manually until I heard the couple horror stories lol It seems everything was corrected but I don't want to stress about it. I'll just wait. It's hard though haha
[Sony Smartwatch 3] kbboykin:
How are people using the PC Companion for the SW3? I have a windows 8.1 Dell laptop with PC Companion installed and it does not see th3 watch.

[Update]

Finally got PC Companion to work, but it says that 5.0.2 is the latest, no 5.1.1?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] qingtest:
Yes I tried companion before but with failure.

Thank you for your successful sample, I then check the error code 100. The reason is downloading is block by anti-virus software.

I think the companion software is not well programmed here (my anti-virus is in manual mode should gave me any block info but not at all).

Now updated to 5.1.1

Thank you.

I cam confirm your guess of test-key (ago I tried to install zip in TWRP also failed with similar error log).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] kbboykin:
FINALLY! PC Companion factory reset my watch and now I am finally downloading the OTA update.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] Lancerz:
I don't know, my watch is dying extremely fast since the update. Normally I can get 2 days, but after 12 hours today I was at 5%. Gonna try another factory reset and see what happens..
[Sony Smartwatch 3] admisi:
Was also having some disconnect problems etc after the update, so I've done a factory reset and gone into Recovery, wiped all cache etc. The watch begins by asking you to plug in the power, since all the activity of installing 40 odd apps gobbles up power. Then had to untick and tick again the setting in Play Music to start the music sync, which also draws huge power. So I'm waiting for everything to sync and settle down before properly assessing battery life.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tomo100brt:
I have this same problems with mine Smartwatch 3 after 5.1.1 update. Before update battery lasted 2 days and sometimes more but now it lasts for one day. And that is one of my problems. I reseted it yesterday but I think it didn't help with battery. I will wate few days and see if it is better.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
Are you perhaps using a custom watch face?

I only did a reset once...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
I had accelerate drain on the first day, then charged it to fill and drained it in about 6 hours, so I factory reset and cleaned up the unwanted faces off my phone and now I'm averaging 3% per hour use which is only a little more than before. Maybe half a prevent more
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Fabof94:
SWR50 uptaded this morning.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] magicdark:
Update received by OTA yesterday evening... I'm testing battery life, It seems that the battery decreases faster...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] fer2503:
i have a custom twrp recovery and root. Can i normally update the smartwatch?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] wally44:
Mine ran the battery down very quickly, although I noticed from the graph that it ran down rapidly and the settled out. Last night it died overnight even starting with over 60% battery. I'm using a custom watchface, but that didn't cause an excessive battery drain before. I'll see how it goes to day before factory resetting it.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] ___tex___:
As soon as I did a factory reset the update appeared
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Moscow Desire:
Took the update this morning. Had 58%. 4 hrs later with playing around, still 50%. Seems the same.

Haven't connected to WiFi yet, as I've a hunch it's a possible battery hog, especially if it continues searching for a connection (out in the yard for example). Will check it later after some observation.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] techrider6262:
Finally my watch got the update:victory::victory::victory:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] magicdark:
My battery is gone from 100% to 40% in 3-4 hours... now i'm resetting for the second time in 12 hours... removed all apps...

i cannot find wifi settings after update O.o

found it after factory reset :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] daddymacbuff:
edit installing now. Hope gps is more reliable on the watch.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] kyleds:
Just updated mine. Honolulu, hi ?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alunx:
Indonesia, updating now.... :D
[Sony Smartwatch 3] wally44:
The short battery life is making my SW3 watch unusable. Battery life seems about 1/2 a day which doesn't work for me. I can't tell what is causing it.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
My battery life appears to have been shortened to the tune of approx 1 - 1.6% an hour.

I am going to disable cloud /wifi sync for tomorrow's usage and see where that gets me
[Sony Smartwatch 3] techrider6262:
It took my battery 6 hrs to go from 100% to watch shutting off after update
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alunx:
My SW3 is now connected to wifi network :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] wally44:
6 hours is pretty close to what I see, perhaps it could be 8 hours. What I see from the graph is that there are two rates of drain. One slow drain rate more like it was under the previous release which would give me a day and a half approximately. The other is much faster and is the one that makes the watch essentially unusable as a watch. And there is no good information as to what is causing it, even from the Wear Battery App.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
I've just noticed a sudden and inexplicable massive increase in power use. I've done nothing to trigger it, haven't loaded new software or fiddled with the watch at all.

So I'm going to turn off cloud sync and Wi-Fi now and see if that helps at all.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nigelhealy:
I got my update today it was a upgrade, and massive battery drain even though near phone and so barely any Wifi. I did a quick Wifi test by disabling bluetooth on phone and yet the Watch didn't seem to behave any better, e.g. find my phone didn't work as usual.

I did a factory reset and reset the phone to see if that will fix the issue.... the watch is REALLY HOT though in its charge like its fighting the charge? The charge used to take 30mins now like 50mins like its draining as charging?

Considering how long we waited for this update, it doesn't look, cough, particularly well tested or tuned.....

UPDATE:

Getting 1.5% per 15mins so ~ 100% = 1000mins = 17hrs which is what I was usually so this might be the fix (i.e. reset everything), let's see what happens in next 24hrs

Also I can disable phone bluetooth and the watch can now find the phone! That is the most useful thing to me, i.e. when phone isnt near you how do you find it...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
So this seems pretty conclusive to me.

The phone and watch have been on me all day, never separate. The Wi-Fi on the watch was set to automatic, it shouldn't have been using Wi-Fi as it's never been more than 2 meters away from the phone.

When I left a zone that had a known Wi-Fi signal the watch started chewing through battery, I disable the cloud sync feature and battery use goes back to normal.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nigelhealy:
Good to know.

I think I found the best compromise, enable Cloud Sync on the phone, and then once sync'd disable Wifi on your watch, then if you deliberately and happily away from the phone, you don't get battery drain, but if when away from your phone you then want to get some watch network features, then on the watch enable Wifi - the use case example is to find your phone.

I've tested this combo and it works, if I disable Watch Wifi, when I disable phone bluetooth, then the watch (as it did before) had the disconnected symbol, then whilst Phone Bluetooth still off, I on Watch enable Wifi, then the disconnected disappears and I can then tasks like find my phone. I think I'll do that to be honest. A connected rapidly draining watch I'm really not sure what use that will be.....

FYI when I play on Watch and enable Wifi then it instantly gets HOT watch!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
Hmmm. I'll toy with this tomorrow as a really need my battery to last the rest of today
[Sony Smartwatch 3] magicdark:
Yesterday I had battery draining then I removed alla android wear apps from phone,all watchfaces and then i've done a reset. Without faces and apps the watch battery return to normality. (From 6pm of yesterday to now consumed 31%). Now I reinstall one app at time to see if there are some apps that goes bad with last version of android wear...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tomo100brt:
I think this battery drain is related to wifi and Cloud sync. When I turn of Cloud sync on phone no notification when Smartwatch 3 is disconnected from phone. When turning off wifi on Smartwatch 3 same thing. I know that those 2 things helped battery life but they are neded. I don't know how is wifi working on Smartwatch 3 so I did this. I set wifi in Wifi --> Advence --> Power save on Power save after 15 minnutes and my battery is not draining for now. But I am still going to observe battery life.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] TheeDesecrator:
Mine seems okay with the update, but others have had similar issues, but they were resolved by resetting the watch a time or two. Don't give up yet.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
I noticed the watch run down from 100% to 82% in a matter of an hour, went on a look around and found that setting aswell. Set it to 15 minutes as well

and battery use went back to 'normal'.

Came here to post that discovery, but saw your post on it.

To anyone having drain issues, try that as well as a factory reset.

I actually didn't, it's already back to life :angel:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tomo100brt:
Good to know I am not the only one that this solution works becuse for me 2 resets fixed everything expect the battery drain.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
I discovered that drain is due to hit anyone with a tendency to travel... With cloudsync on and a bad Internet connection. Which i did today and it caused the battery to drain in less then 2/3 of the day. My battery went dead in 9 and a half hours, being on the move a lot today...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tomo100brt:
I came home and can confirm that. I think battery is discharging faster when I am on move. I will left wifi on power save to confirm if it is discharging for tomorrow and if it discharges more then 30% whole day I will turn off Cloud sync. What is stupid is that we can't turn off Cloud sync without turning off wifi. I don't understand why we need Cloud sync when phone is connected to Smartwatch. Problem is obviously in that Cloud sync like [NUT] said.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
This is my battery stat for today... As you can see my battery rampage did stop after tinkering with (and staying on one spot for almost 3 hours) it but the rapid decline started when I was doing some shopping and was on the move again.

This update made a 2 day battery life feel like an eternity all of a sudden.

I hope they will fix this problem SOON, because this is ridiculous :mad:

People who are still tinkering with factory resets, stop doing that and disable cloudsync/wifi. It is supposed to keep you updated in absence of your phone, but the lack of usable wifi hot spots makes it crave for information and it will search for any feed it can, ALL THE TIME. Even when connected to your phone through bluetooth!!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] magicdark:
Alla day goes well, battery draining restarted when i installed and used watchmaker pro,battery start to discharging very fast again, it seems that is not optimized for latest Android Wear version.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] wally44:
I suppose Watchmaker Pro could be a culprit, but I've been using it and see both a slow and fast discharge while using it. I'm not sure the cause at this point as it seems to fairly abruptly change and rebooting my watch seems make it stop. Certainly WiFi could use more battery but I see large drain with it off. Still trying to figure out a cause.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
Definitely Wi-Fi is killing this, see attached screenshot. I turned Wi-Fi on for a minute to test its ability to connect and got a massive surge in power usage.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] techrider6262:
Mine has gotten better since it died last night I took it off the charger at 11 am today and I'm at 63 % right now
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tomo100brt:
Did you urn off wifi or Cloud sync? Because with those on I can't get good battery.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] NukeBomB3000:
Battery life got better for me after a few days. Using a 15 minute Wifi timeout and cloud sync. A full night of sleep tracking uses about 20% in theater mode and a 1h run with standalone GPS (Endomondo) used up about 15%. That is acceptable for me.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] PierreBdeB:
Mine got update Friday evening.

Used yesterday as usual : got from 100% to 10 % in...5 hours.

Battery drain come from wifi or gps i don't know.

Do you know how to turn wifi off ? Setting are not clear about that subject.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
Turn off cloudsync to turn off wifi.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] CyberDance:
Yes Wi-Fi is killing your battery life. On the Phone i have Cloud sync is enabled, on the Watch i have disabled Cloud sync.

Got now the same battery life as before 5.1.1. With Wi-Fi on for 1 our i will lost 5 ours battery life!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
While this configuration (cloud sync on but Wi-Fi manually turned off) does help a heap, I'm still getting about 1% an hour worse battery life than pre 5.1.1
[Sony Smartwatch 3] wally44:
Last night when I went to bed there was what should have been plenty of battery and the drain rate was modest. I had theater mode on which usually slows the drain rate over night while using sleep as android. Around 1 am the drain rate shot up and the battery was dead in about 2 hours. Nothing changed on my end. Seems to be a serious bug either in the OS or in how some apps interact with it. I'll post a chart later.

[Sable] usafltg:
:confused: I've got a 6925, and i'm quite annoyed by the e-mail notifications always nagging me. I have 2 e-mail accounts setup (Gmail, and my POP3 work account). I want it to check for new messages as frequently as possible, but I only want it to display a notification if it DOWNLOADED a new message. Currently it displays that I have New messages all the time unless i physically go into my inbox and actually open the e-mail message all the way.

Why is this so annoying? Well a lot of the times I get messages that I just don't open based on the "header" of the message. Yet unless I actually go in and mark it as read, or open it up, when it goes to check for new messages on the server it still thinks it's a NEW message and thus prompts me with a display saying I have new messages. Is there anyway I can have those notifications fire ONLY when it's DOWNLOADED a new message and not keep pestering me saying I have 63 some e-mails that are new and I haven't opened? :mad:

Thanks

Has anybody bought a tempered glass screen protector for the Galaxy Tab S SM-T700 that doesn't have a nick or notch at top? All the tempered glass protectors I could find appear to be for the LTE version (SM-T705) which has the cut out for the ear piece. This looks simply ugly on the SM-T700, which doesn't have any front facing speakers.

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moe2046:
Does anyone have a issue with the YouTube app on the Nexus player where you randomly get a error that says connection lost, check your internet connection?

I seem to get this mostly when I start up the app, but have also seen it when a video ends, a video can stop playing and give this message. I have even seen it when swapping subscriptions.

Oddly enough I have seen a similar issue on my phone sometimes I open the app, especially if I have been casting, and get a retry button.

Pressing ok and retrying allows me to use the app, none of the other apps seem to suffer this. The nexus player is hardwired so not a WiFi issue.

I did have a browse through the forum and Google and couldn't find any similar posts but I can't be the only one having this issue?

Don't hate on it before you fully test it. A lot of its features are placebo like the seeder, but it's auto cache cleaner, fs-trimmer, and the ram manager are honestly useful to maintaining device performance.
[Android] Lord_of_Death:
Im not talking only about root alone, u can do lots of stuff after rooting, thats the point of it, u can tweak performance, remove bloatware......which can make device run faster. If the device works worse after rooting.... then the root might be unstable, thats probably becuase of a bad root....or something else.... But root mainly helps u boost the performance of the device, there isnt much reason for it to become slower unless theres a problem.... Ps:dont reply to 2 year old posts
