Hey guys,

Sharing my brand new Pace battery issues and solution.

Charged it last Friday, got about 15% remaining on Tuesday afternoon, sounded about right.

Charged it to full Tuesday afternoon, and on the next morning it was down to 27% at 6am, and lost about 15% in the next 6 hours, so less than a day with a full charge.

I'll spare you the search for the most obvious culprits. As it happens, the responsible party was the music control widget, which I had used to start a song on my phone's Plex app. It looks like there's some kind of bug, as it carried one talking with the phone over bluetooth and saying the song was playing, despite the app no longer running on the phone.

Quick fix : on the Amazfit phone app, go to Settings > Notification Settings and turn off Music remote controller.

It's probably not a very common cause of battery drain, but it's worth adding to the list :)
[Amazfit] goodevile:
HEY GUYS, JUST BOUGHT ONE FOR ME AND I HAVE HINTS FOR YOU GUYS.

FIRST: dont charge anything until 100% of the battery.

your reaction->"wtf? why not? 100% is more power !"

because when you charge anything in 100%, the battery will always get hot when you charge more than 85%~90%.

then.... because of that, the quality of the battery will drop and also it's lifetime.

if you feel that the battery drain is large, after an update then:

- turn off the watch and wait 3 minutes.

- do an factory reset, it will not undo the update but will "clean" the watch.

-clean the data of the smartphone and then sync again with the watch.

-if you feel like it's trying to do an infinite upload then:

1- unsync the watch.

2- clean the smartphone app data.

3-do an factory reset on the smartwatch.

4-sync again.
[Amazfit] cyrusct82:
Done all of this. Nothing helps. This is with latest update 1.3.6d for me and it happens from time to time.
[Amazfit] Tomelis:
I can definitely say that battery drain is with Strava sync. And I dont understand whyand how Strava sync is related to watch battery drain, because I thought that sync is performed on the phones Amazfit app. When I got the battery drain after couple of days I saw that Strava sync was 7 days ago and it doesnt sync again even with manual sync. And its nothing with the watch itself.

So what I did and battery drain is gone:

Go to Strava web site and revoke access for Amazfit app, or if You dont need and dont use strava just deactivate strava account by login to strava account go to settings -->privacy page and at the bottom of the page deactivate account.

Turn off bluetooth on the phone then go to phone settings --> amazfit app --> Force stop --> got to storage -> Clear data til Data is zero (if not go back one step hit Force stop and then back to storage --> Clear data (You will have to do these steps couple times to clear the data to zero). Enable bluetooth --> launch amazfit app and login, data will sync and dont ever enable strava again.

Hope it will help You as helped me.

Battery drain

I was in water for almost 2 hours wearing the watch, not deep, about half a meter or so. The issues started that day, the battery drained completely.

Before that, I could do 6-7 days with auto airplane mode at night, after the water, it lasts for about 1-2 days.

I have never had an issue with Strava or syncing data. I bet the water does this (or sweat). I'll try to dry out today... will see.
[Amazfit] Tomelis:
Amazfit Pace isnt waterproof

I never wear my watch when taking a shower, and never was in water with it as its NOT waterproof. You damaged your watch, now You can throw it away.
[Amazfit] cyrusct82:
I'm not using Strava so that's not the cause.

As I've said only workaround is to turn briefly Airplane mode on/off when I observe the drain occurs.

For me the drain started a couple of days after the watch was updated to 1.3.6d
[Amazfit] szutsg:
You're right, i was lazy to read carefully, but the gearbest site says it is waterproof (Specification>Hardware>Waterproof:Yes), but not that way I used. It is IP67.

BUT

I've placed the watch for a whole day onto the heating radiator (about 30+ or so centigrade celsius, not very hot) and the watch now drain "normally".
[Amazfit] Joeritz86:
I am facing the same issue. Battery draining badly. Previously same setting can lasts up to 3 days but now not even a day. Can it be fixed? Thanks

To increase battery life on Pace:

- Make sure "continuous heart rate measurement" is off on the HR widget;

- Turn "Auto upload" in watch settings off;

- Turn brightness to zero (you won't need it in day light);

- Turn "Awake on wrist movement" (awake screen with button or enable double tap);

- Use airplane mode when away from phone and/or auto airplane mode at night.
[Amazfit] Alien69:
i had the battery drain issue !

i just disabled the AUTO UPLOAD on the watch, like some one advised, and the battery is working normally again.

Thanks,

My post about it #184.

Hello now I'm on day 4 and 18 hours and battery is 34% left with usual settings: alarms, wake on wrist, BT and WIFI on in days and auto off at night, auto upload i never turned on so its off always. What else I did, I put a watch near heater to dry. I thing maybe it had a little moisture inside. After that battery works very good even better then previously.
[Amazfit] daavve:
I delete data and cache app, unregister strava account and reconnect watch and app.

Now everything back to normal.
[Amazfit] Dennis78:
Hello,

I have recently bought a new Amazfit Pace and it didn't took long to run into battery drain. So I decided to test a bit and I think I found something.

When the Amazfit app syncs health data, this is shown at the bottom of the app, when sync is finished the field change to green and disappear. But after that, about 3-5 seconds later, another datatransmission is made (indicated by network speed meter in androids statusbar), I think the weatherdata is syncing now. But the app doesn't show this so if the user closes the app before or while weather is updating, thinking everything is fine, the watch runs into unfinished sync and into battery drain.

Best workaround is to wait some time after a sync to be sure everything is synced and finished.
[Amazfit] Burndowns:
It is a bluetooth problem

I tested why my amazfit pace (1.3.6d version) how it drains battery. I got full time HR on and it drains 1% in 60-70min wich is realy good (no training or anything, if HR is off and i put my watch on a tabble and dont touch it at all it last for 4hours for 1%). When im on a traning walk with GPS and HR on it drains 4-5% in 90-100minutes wich is also raly good. This is all if i dont use watch that much just from time to time to check how im doing it and it is on airplane mode(no wifi or BT working). It is the same if airplane mode is off (wifi and BT can work but they dont) but you are not near phone or BT and WIFI on phone are off and you are not connected to it ofc and no spikers or anything connected to amazfit pace (it is just watch working but not connected to anything at all). Auto update off and wrist turn on is also off and brightness of a screen is on 2(did all steps you need to do to save battery and it works good)

Problem hapens when you connect something to your amazfit pace via Bluetooth (only and only if he is connected to something via wifi or BT) than he starts to drain 1% in 2-4minutes wich is insane and not good at all but i thing that is some problem with 1.3.6d update version and can be easy fixed. By then i dont use Bluetooth on a watch more than 3-4 min just to sync all data to phone and that is all. Trying to be in airplane mode as much as i can.

Hopeing that new update will fix the problem..... since it is not about sync to your phone it hapend even if you play music over bluetooth on small spikers or headphones...

Someone also try to test it and let me know plz.
[Amazfit] Galttar:
Same problem here with build 1.3.7.

This workaround worked for me: After synchronize with app on Android I closed the app and the battery drain stop.

I think if you leave the app opened, every time that you go out and back to mobile range the synchronization will be done again.

[Amazfit] pecholino:
I had the battery drain problem on my pace for two months.

I believe it was the chargers fault, because when I charged the watch for the first time, it was with the phones charger. the battery drained in less than 12h. after that I charged via computer's usb port and the battery lasted 5 days with no problems. after a month or so I charged the watch with the wall charger again. the first day, the battery lasted 12h again. then, charging via usb, it drained 3% per hour. I had to charge the watch every day, for a month!! I tried everything I found on the forums. I even flashed PACEfied rom. Nothing worked.. until 2 days ago!

The watch turned off, because the battery was low. It was off for the whole day because I didn't have time to charge it.

Then I plugged it in the usb port and I let the watch charge overnight (watch still off). The next day I forgot the watch, so it was on the table (not connected and still off).

when I finally turned it ON, it was showing 99% (1% drained during boot). 4 hours later I decided to go on a ride so I wanted to fully charge the watch as usual and I noticed that the battery was at 98% and it's still lasting today.

So people try this:

-drain the watch completely (0%)

-charge it for 8-12h while turned off

-leave it off for 8-12h

Hello!

I have a battery problem too. My amazfit works fine, but today it losts all energy of battery. I try to charge abaut 3 hours, but i can't to switch it on :( I push the button, the display light a moment, after that nothing happen. Cuold I reset it without turn on? What is the problem, or how can I solve the problem?

Thanks for the help!
[Amazfit] lfom:
Clean the metallic pins in both the watch and the cradle, use a brush or toothpick. If it's very dirty, disconnect the charger from the power source and use isopropyl (this alcohol has no or little water in it) then let it dry. Press and hold the button on watch for about 10s to make sure it's off and let it charging for around 30min, then press the button briefly while it's on charger (do not disconnect it) to see if there is the battery charging icon. If there is no icon, I am sorry but probably your watch is damaged.
[Amazfit] talpas:
Thank you! I clean the pins, connect watch the computer and charging icon is appeared. It seems working well. Thanks again:good:
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
Thanks for all help, my watch hold battery for a day but

it is working correctly now

As much as I saw the main problem was: water

I even showered with my watch, after letting it dries for 2 days its holding charge for 5 days again.
[Amazfit] viperj:
My pace was having the same problem. The problem was the watch droid assistant app installed on my phone. I unistalled it and unistalled watch droid assistant on the pace and battery is now back to normal.
[Amazfit] yfantira:
please tell us how you unistalled the watch droid and if you have any issues
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
I suggest everyone come here and tell us the battery life and how much is the time from their buying the watch.

My watch after 1 month, hold battery for 2 days.

Could you please tell us how to open the watch without a scratch and damage to its screen? it seems very fit and hard to disassemble.

And if the mic and barometer sensor will be totally removed, does the watch works or they must be replaced?

The effect of water on the mic and barometer is the main sources of battery drain problem.

I dont know if the developers could help us to disable them in software to see if the battery drain improve or not.

it holds battery for 2 days now, I remember it was holding the battery charge for 5-6 days the last month.

I continued my research.

The microphone is not in default, however the pressure component no longer works.

I opened it, the threads touched impossible to fix it. ( too small)

The wires are at 1 / 50mm each.

They are soft, a violent shock or a micro drop of moisture.

will create the dysfunction

This may be due to a violent difference in temperature or so immerse your hand in the water of the sink and move for example.

I call this a manufacturing defect me ....

I will go back up the watch without.

To disassemble it I gently inserted a Fixed-blade X-Acto knife is doing progressive lever in 1 hour.

The watch is glued in silicone.

If you need more detail, I'll post photos.
[Amazfit] Sadegh:
Thanks for your explanations

Could you please tell me more how to disassemble the watch without damage?

and how to find mic and barometer?

and can we again glue the door by silicone to assemble the watch?

Hi, my Stratos works for 5 days in normal watch mode. But if I switch the GPS (walking mode) the battery discharge to zero % within 1,5 hour !!! Have you heard this problem?
[Amazfit] moviezzz:
Mine can't even last me 48 hours. So I have to charge daily. Only notifications enabled and about 40mins of epileptic workout daily. All stock apps.

I'd cleaned with contact cleaner as well as factory reset multiple times. It is depressing.
[Amazfit] gaspadorius:
Same problem here... Strange things happening with my Stratos 2 after 2.3.4.0 update. Battery is draining very fast (watch can be alive only 1.5-2 days), before update battery could keep alive watch for 5-7 days. Now, during running, my 5 kilometers exercise is like 3 kilometers running, but after data uploading to Amazfit app, it shows normal distance. Heart rate monitor always works like I haven't been running at all....Tried factory reset but no luck.

My watch's poor battery performance is out of the box. I've had this watch for less than 5 days.
[Amazfit] Solidstates:
I have had my stratos for less than a month and only able to get 4 hours use due to extreme battery drain. The first few weeks it functioned properly so not sure what went wrong. I have factory reset and disconnected from Bluetooth, ran in aeroplane mode etc. and the battery continues to drain.

I am liaising with Amazfit Support and completed a 24 hour test and uploaded results so currently awaiting their response.

I haven't seen any other posts that mentions battery drain as extreme as mine i.e. a few hours however so frustrated with this experience as haven't really had a chance to use the watch that much.

Watch droid battery drain and solution

I was experiencing major battery drain when I updated to version 7.1.14.7 of watch droid. I have an LG G3(info in SIG) and a Pace running PACEficator Project WOS 2.6.2.0. I lost 5% in half an hour right off the charger. Since I was getting ready for work, I decided to put my watch in airplane mode and just go to work. Two hours later while I work, I noticed that the battery had stopped draining. I figured I'd see if watch droid was causing the issue so I froze both the phone app and watch app. The major drain was still gone. Later in the day, I needed to send a time to my watch so unfroze both apps and connected. The drain was still gone so I thought I fixed it. I realized that I never enabled the notification access. Once I did that, lost 5% in half hour again. Thinking maybe it was a bug in the new version, I started looking into reverting to the previous one. I ended up finding that after updating on my phone, watch droid assistant on my watch never updated. Once I manually updated through the "information" menu in watch droid on phone, the battery drain was gone. Hope this helps anyone with issues.

[Amazfit] arthur.uba:
Hi, my stratos arrived on 07/25 and when I took the box I did the update, I used it for a couple of days (battery would last for 5-6 days), on the 3rd day I installed the watchdroid (battery drain so fast) day, no 4 di instalei amf, battery lives much better but not so good (2, -3 days), installed and used some faces, on the 5th day I swam in the sea and in the pool. And in doing these things I was careful and always cleaned the clock as explained in the manual. Now my stratos has reached 30% after 2 days and I'm loading and going to sleep when finished. I've always used the continuous RH since I took it out of the box, I can not post data because as I have not done any physical activity with the connected functions I did not save. recreational use only. ah and now I turned on the mute function and air mode on the automatic programmed for night (23-30 - 06:00). First time I do that. Let's see how the battery behaves. Just commenting, I'll comment later, sorry for my English

Hi guys.

My Amazfit Pace (purchased 1 year ago) had 4/5 days of autonomy.

Last week I have changed my old Oneplus One with the new Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S and at the same time the Amazfit Pace battery collapsed.

Now I can't finish 1 day, the battery lasts 10/12 hours. :(

It is a coincidence? Or the battery does not work yet?

I tried factory reset, then unlocked bootloader and upload a custom rom (Italian version), but nothing to do...battery drain remains also using in airplane mode.

Some one can help me?

Another question: can I use the watch without pairing with phone?

Thanks
[Amazfit] GrinFactor:
My battery issues were resolved by clearing all data and cache then uninstalling Amazfit app from my phone. Factory reset the watch and charged to 100%. Installed the latest Amazfit app from app store and create a new account (did not use an existing account). Paired watch with a phone as per normal and everything is back to normal(5-day battery life). Installed Watch Droid as I love the longer notifications and disconnect alerts, but sacrificed 2 days of battery life. Now getting a solid 3 days of battery life.

[SOLVED] Battery drain issue for Amazfit Pace

Hi all,

I've finally solved the battery drain issue for my Amazfit Pace I've bought one year ago.

I would like to underline that I've always washed the watch under the shower and also when I washed my hands. The smartwatch is IP67 certified, that means IP67 means the unit can be dropped into a body of water up to a meter deep for half an hour.

My problems raised when I forgot the watch at my hand, during a sea swim. Even if the Amazfit pace is water resistant and the water has not entered into the unit, salt minerals entered into the only hole on the smartwatch: the microphone hole.

When I opened the unit, I've found that all contacts were in perfect condition without any oxide on components and smartwatch internal parts. The small paper placed on the mainboard to verify if water entered inside the smartwatch, had not changed color from blank to red, meaning no water presence.

However, in some way some salt has affected the microphone causing oxidation and short circuit: this is the cause of battery drain.

The microphone is protected by a plastic dress fitting its shape and at the end of the hole there is a thin membrane that should prevent water to enter but maybe is not so resistant to small salt minerals.

I solved the problem washing the microphone with isopropylic alchol and then removing the oxidation residuals with a small tip.

Now the battery discharged in 5-6 days as expected for a normal use in airplane mode.

Considering that microphone function is not so useful because there is no correct and plain translation from chinese to english or other languages, you can think to close the hole with some plastic material or, as I've done, with a small drop of plastic glue in order to close the hole avoiding voice blocking.

I hope my experience can help!

[Amazfit] js_online:
Thanks for sharing. Exactly same issue, I forgot to take watch in Malta during kayaking and swimming. Battery started to drain faster than in 1 day.

I did not manage to resolve issue by opening watch and washing mic with fresh water as you did.

So I finally disconnected mic from the board and thru it out as I never used it anyway.

After disconnecting mic I did test and got results as expected, percentage reduced slowly as before swim. Expected lifetime is 1 week with 3 x1h running activities during the week. After test passed I applied glue to mic hole from inside and glued back cover to screen.

Battery Drain

I had been searching around trying to figure out the reasons why my Amazfit Stratos 2 was also chewing up the battery within a day. I worked out for me is to go into settings on the watch then into the common tab which then gives you a few options. Then you need to turn OFF auto upload. Made a huge difference! I know my custom watchfaces also chew up the battery a bit faster than the inbuilt ones but the auto upload made a huge difference. Hope this helps people .
