[Samsung Gear S3] Bladder61:
With Bluetooth off and WIFI off then the watch is using cellular to stay connected. This is probably the heaviest battery drain of all types of connection (verses BT & WIFI). Make sure cellular is also turned off or allow the watch to use BT or WIFI to stay connected.

When numbersync first rolled out for the LG Watch Urbane 2 on AT&T it was a battery hog. Could be that there are some growing pains to go thru with numbersync on Gear S3. Also, I have had my T-Mobile Gear S3 now for 3 days and each charging cycle I seem to get better mileage. I run BT on, WIFI off, always on screen, Mobile connect auto. First day very bad battery life (plus I was using it a lot) about 6+% drain per hour. During my last charge cycle I was able to use it for almost 2 full days about 3% drain per hour. Just gave it a charge this morning and so far am seeing a little over 2% drain per hour. I believe it will settle in nicely after a few more charge cycles.
[Samsung Gear S3] dkb218:
Had me worried for a second there until Bladder61 explained why your battery drained so fast. This will be my first LTE connected watch [2 BT only devices in the past]. I see that leaving home for a couple of days without my phone isn't what these devices were designed for.
[Samsung Gear S3] zapote21:
Mine is at 90%. On TMO though... Took it off charger around 8am. Lots of calls and notifications
[Samsung Gear S3] vinotauro:
So which connection setting would be best for battery conservation, WiFi or Bluetooth at at home? Obviously I'd go stand alone when I'm out and about
[Samsung Gear S3] vinotauro:
Nvm I'm going to quote myself and say I'm a dummy for not reading above
[Samsung Gear S3] P7M8:
T-Mo LTE version here. Took mine off the charger last night at 0200. It's 2137 now and I'm at 34%. Not much use today except for some texting.

Yesterday I used it to listen to music during a 40 minute walk as well as load some music onto the Gear. Downloaded apps and organized the device and settings. I ran out of juice last night and had to charge it. With general use It definitely won't go past a day of normal use.
[Samsung Gear S3] vinotauro:
Okay as of right now I have my gear s3 on standalone mode for the day starting at 100 percent. I will report back with results and all current settings.
[Samsung Gear S3] fanispou:
I have the LTE T-Mobile version.

I put the watch on around 8.30 am - Was half day at home and about 3-4 hours out. Barely used it besides looking at some notifications. nothing else. It's 9pm right now and the watch is at 8%. I contacted support and they insist it lasts 3 days... Has anyone found any solution?

F.
[Samsung Gear S3] Bladder61:
I believe Samsung bases that 3-4 days off of running the watch at it's most economical conditions. This probably means,

Bluetooth: on

Mobile Connect: off

WIFI: off

Always on Screen: off

Minimal amount of notifications enabled

Power Saving mode or off overnight

I have owned several Android Wear, and nearly every Samsung Gear watch. The people that report several day usage are running these very minimalistic settings. The Gear S3 has a

380

mAh battery, I have a LG watch Urbane 2 with cellular and it has a

580

mAh battery. With BT and auto cellular enabled I get a drain of 3% - 3.5% per hour. Now that my Gear S3 is 5 days old and has been thru several charge cycles I am getting a steady 3% per hour drain.

Try using your S3 for an entire day with minimum settings and see what you get at the end of the day. You will probably see that you could get several days use.

I want my watch always on, and I want cellular when I walk away or leave my phone. I don't want to have to flick my wrist to see time. I know that I can easily get a full day of use from the S3 and still have 40+% left at the end of the night when I throw it on the charger and go to bed.

Everyone is different, find a power solution that fits your needs. Good Luck.
[Samsung Gear S3] fanispou:
Thank you for the detailed response. Means really a lot! A couple qs.

1. When the LTE/mobile connections is on auto and i'm home using wifi or bluetooth is still draining battery.

2. Always on display is a huge battery drain correct? - Really like not to see a blank screen...

What will you recommend to be the ideal settings as I spent half day home/half day out.

Is there a shortcut to turn LTE on/off quick?

Thank you so much!

[Samsung Gear S3] vinotauro:
Hey guys, I'm back as promised to give my feedback again. Since this morning, Ive lost 40 percent battery life (roughly 3 percent an hour). This is in stand alone mode with wifi off, nfc off, always on display is off, brightness is at 5, notifications for texting and Facebook on. I made a couple of calls earlier and answered a few texts. Didn't play around a whole lot on it though (Truthfully, didn't have a reason to).

One thing I don't understand is why to even have the lte version if it's such a battery drain over Bluetooth. Most of us I'm sure carry our cell phones around no? Anyways, the battery performed better than my initial test which basically died within 10 hours.
[Samsung Gear S3] afblangley:
You've gone 13 hours in standalone mode and have more than 60% battery. To me that's awesome! I'd run AOD and just charge it nightly.

I think LTE is useful because many folks have occasions when they don't want to carry a phone (ie. running, going to the gym, gardening, hanging around the house naked). And there are a few weirdos who dream of abandoning their smartphone altogether...
[Samsung Gear S3] vinotauro:
I will try tomorrow with stand along along with AOD then report back! I will try other settings every day. After this, I'll do Bluetooth
[Samsung Gear S3] thetbg:
I have had mine on for 24 hrs now, wifi on, bt on, auto forwarding on, AOD off, used gps once for 40 minutes, medium to heavy notifications, notifications turned off at night, brightness at level 5, and I am sitting at 40%. I figure once I get the battery trained and I don't play with it so much I will get close to three days.
[Samsung Gear S3] fknfocused:
Very similar usage and I got to 2 days
[Samsung Gear S3] awilson181:
I'm basically getting a day of general use out of the device. Today I turned off GPS and wifi to see if there is much difference. I already have the AOD turned off. Typically I'm putting the watch on around 6:30am and back in the cradle around 9:00pm. At that point there is around 20℅ battery left. Not sure how this thing will stretch 3-4 days.
[Samsung Gear S3] tech5:
I have the t-mo LTE version and im getting close to 18 hours out of it and thats calls and txt watched 3 er 4 youtube videos on it yesterday along with some music and general goofing around with it still getting it set up

wifi on BT on screen always on auto call forwarding when i go to far from my phone and so far its doing good
[Samsung Gear S3] dkb218:
I have AOD off. I don't really need to know the time unless I'm looking at the watch and as you must accomplish the same move to get the screen to wake up as you would to check the time with AOD on, I see no need to have it on. Well other than have others checking out our watch. I have Wifi and LTE set to connect automatically when I'm out of range of BT. As I'll have my phone me a majority of the time, those connections will see limited use [good thing T-Mobile gave me a free line with unlimited everything for it.] I can easily get 2 days with these settings.
[Samsung Gear S3] RMXO:
I've had mine (TMO S3 LTE) since mid Sat (11/19) and so far I'm at 28% with min settings.
[Samsung Gear S3] Bladder61:
The always on display (AOD) is probably the biggest battery hog. If you like a blank screen and want to use the tilt to wake function you will save tremendously on battery. I charge my watch every nite and the S3 easily gets me thru a complete day with plenty to spare so I use AOD. Worn a watch all my life and like to be able to always see the dial. Don't enjoy the techie look of a blank screen.

When you are at home connected to BT or WIFI have the LTE set to auto. It won't try to use cellular until it senses you have lost a data connection, so when you go out of the house later in the day the LTE will kick in. Once again this can be a battery killer, everyone will be different. If you have a strong LTE signal less drain, when your signal decreases you will drain more battery. No two people will get the same result. I have extremely high signal strength at home and my work. When I travel to other states/towns I get drastically different results depending on signal strength (these results are from using both a S2 3g and an LG Urbane 2 LTE). I can range from 3% - 10+% drain per hour depending on the location.
[Samsung Gear S3] orlans21:
This will be my first smart watch so im not familiar with the best battery saving settings for a watch...but anyways im up in canada so there is no LTE model for me. When im at home im going to have wifi on but will I need bluetooth on all the time even if im on wifi?
[Samsung Gear S3] Darrkwolfy:
I have had Bluetooth on and from a full charge last night to tonight it is still at 70% charge with normal use. I'm not sure why yours is draining so quickly
[Samsung Gear S3] awilson181:
Battery drain is ridiculous. From 42℅ to 35℅ in 15 minutes with wifi on, BT on and AOD off. This is with no use just turned on the screen checked the settings...waited 15 minutes turned back and checked again. Not good!

Update:. Tested again. Set a timer for 15 minutes. Same settings as above. 7℅ drain in 15 minutes.
[Samsung Gear S3] Outbreak444:
I have the same settings enabled as you and I get great battery results as well. I was expecting more of a battery drop from reading other comments but that didn't happen. I'm definitely satisfied with the battery life so far.
[Samsung Gear S3] kronium:
Perhaps an errant app you installed. If not, try hard resetting and don't install anything, then check battery life. If all that fails, then you need to replace it.
[Samsung Gear S3] awilson181:
Just did this...watch off charger at 6:50. Down 25℅ at 8:00

Update:. 8:28...65℅...1hr 38min - 35℅ drain
[Samsung Gear S3] awilson181:
FYI...

This is frustrating..
[Samsung Gear S3] awilson181:
Just a thought...if I have mobile connections set to auto on/off why is it always searching while I'm connected via Bluetooth or WiFi?
[Samsung Gear S3] thetbg:
go to your phone click on the gear app, then click on the battery icon and look to see what is draining your battery so much.
[Samsung Gear S3] awilson181:
Screenshot attached...AOD is off.
[Samsung Gear S3] thetbg:
Do you have a 3rd party watch face, or are you just staring at the screen? your watch face usage is high
[Samsung Gear S3] awilson181:
I think the issue may be that it's constantly searching for the TMo network and I'm not in a coverage area. I turned off mobile network altogether and it seems better. I thought that having mobile network set to auto on/off meant that the watch would only search/connect when the watch lost Bluetooth or WiFi access?
[Samsung Gear S3] thetbg:
I keep my mobile connections always off, I will only use it when I am at the gym for spotify or when I am on a mountain and dont want to bring my phone, and then I expect maybe a days use, otherwise i keep it off, and I am looking a t close to 2.5 days
[Samsung Gear S3] awilson181:
Watchmaster is installed with AOD set to off.

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

But isn't auto on/off supposed to do this automatically?
[Samsung Gear S3] kronium:
I really think you should hard reset. Something is not right.
[Samsung Gear S3] awilson181:
I've done the hard reset. After that reset I turned off mobile network and it was better to the tune of 8 hours with light texting and only a 30℅ drop.
[Samsung Gear S3] thetbg:
it is
[Samsung Gear S3] khaddem:
Never owned a smart watch but am interested in the S3 frontier. Got some questions : which one to choose :WiFi or LTE?

Can you use Google voice?

Can you use other languages like French or German due texting?

Can you use whatsapp and video calling?

Compare to other smart watches, how do you rate this one?

Do i need a new line for this watch? I've unlimited everything with 14 Gb tethering.

Thank you for your help
[Samsung Gear S3] awilson181:
Do you want to go without your phone. If so, go with LTE.

No Google voice...it's Time so SVoice

Not sure on languages

No WhatsApp or Video Calling

Never had another watch but I like this one

Only need a new line if you get LTE
[Samsung Gear S3] gnjuss:
Hello from Croatia, just got my S3 frontier a few days ago, and I think I'm having battery problems.

Out of the box it had 67%, and it took me a whole day of tinkering, downloading apps and watchfaces etc., to get it to 5% so I can charge it fully.

I was impressed to say the least.

However, after the first charge I'm literally bleeding out battery, yesterday I lost 40% in 2 hours (!?).

This morning it was fully charged, but after 3 hours I'm down to 70%, with just a few glances, and a few notifications.

Please help, this can't be normal...

Here are my settings:

- Bluetooth is ON, otherwise it's just a normal watch...

- WiFi is off

- phone is always nearby, so I am not moving in and out of range

- stock Chronograph+ watch face

- Heart monitor is off

- stock black background

What am I doing wrong?!

Thanks in advance for the tips!

EDIT: Now losing 1% every minute or so, will be forced to use the battery save mode, if I'm ever dreaming of getting home today...
[Samsung Gear S3] Tel864:
It does seem to take a few charge cycles for the battery usage to even out but yours does seem a little high. I can get three days with my settings similar to yours, except I keep the heart monitor on. If I were you I would allow for 3 or 4 charge cycles and see if it improves. Some add on watch face apps seem to use more battery but that face you're using shouldn't be causing that problem.
[Samsung Gear S3] afblangley:
If battery life doesn't improve, do a factory reset. It sounds like a file may have gotten corrupt and gone rogue. It wouldn't hurt to do a clean install of Gear Manager also.
[Samsung Gear S3] 10urshin:
I remember it was advised to charge the watch at least 2 hours or so before using it in quick start guide. Not after depleting the battery. Maybe that's the problem.
[Samsung Gear S3] gnjuss:
I did a factory reset that day (just the watch, not the Gear app), after that the battery is back to normal, impressive even (I turn the watch off overnight)

I did a full charge on Monday, still have about 60% left. Sweet.

@10nurshin: Thanx for the tip, I did not read the quick manual, but the problem did actually start after the first charge.
[Samsung Gear S3] rogerperk:
TMob LTE here. I don't use NFC, I don't play music, I don't use a map system (I do leave GPS on), and I'm on Digits. I get calls, text, email without problem. Right now I'm at 78% for 6 hours. I'm using BT to see if that impacts battery life. Usually I do Remotely Connected. I charge each evening while watching TV and top it off on the morning while I shower so I start the day at 100%. I have NEVER gotten to single digits and have gone a day and a half and only got down to the 30s. It not meant to replace a smart phone! Just the cell phone aspects. I use it that way.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldLodgeSkins:
Hi all,

I'm trying to find the right Cyanogenmod ROM for my new device... I'm back on stock ROM after trying one that didn't work (the phone was not booting at all anymore, thanks Flashtool for saving me! :p).

The thing is, all the ROMs I can find for Xperia Z3 are for D66xx... Mine is a Z3+ (I didn't pay attention to that when buying it... My fault here) E6553. Any suggestion? Can I install a ROM for the "regular" Z3 D66xx? :rolleyes:

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldLodgeSkins:
Hold on... I keep searching while looking for an answer... Would the Z3+ and the Z4 be one and the same?

In which case I'm not in the right forum category... I'll take a closer look at the Z4's.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldLodgeSkins:
Well for anyone running into the same problem... That phone was sold to me as a Z3 and it turns out to be a Z3+ / Z4, the ROMs for Z3 are not compatible with it, look at the Z4 this will solve your problem. I now have CM13 currently booting on it :)
