Battery drain

Antoine

My personal workaround while we wait for a fix is: if you use navigation just reboot your watch at the end, after syncing the activity with your phone.

This is my personal view, nothing from Suunto

I managed to send logs to Suunto and hope a fix for this will be included in the next firmware. I also believe it is not the GPS but the storage that is kept active, GPS would give an even larger battery consumption. No confirmation from Suunto yet. I try to keep the forum informed as much as I can

I have checked your workaround, seems same for me:

indeed after an activity with maps and navigation the battery usage is ~9% for 16h
reboot (turn off in parameter and long press on upper button)
battery usage is ~2% for 16h
activity without navigation
battery usage is still ~2% for 16h

I hope it will be solved very soon as one main advantage of Suunto Vertical watch is autonomy…

After 17 days without battery drain problem (full charged august 14th, 13% battery level 31th august and full charged again) this past night SV battery level has lowered by 10%-12% without use.
Yesterday evening I exchanged watches and I have slept with SR S again… (I was wearing SV full time since august 14th). My last activity with SV was on sunday morning and I didn’t use navigation (hiking with ‘Weather’ S+ App), so it seems battery drain has several faces…

A fix is being tested, if everything works out should be here in a week or two.

@isazi omg, the wait is endless

gerasimos

@isazi so, it was massive the problem and not for some cases after last update!
by the way great news!!

isazi

@gerasimos not massive, but there were various causes for the drain, all dependent on user behavior. Meaning, users using certain features would see the drain, others not using them not.

gerasimos

@isazi now i understand exactly what triggers the problem or one of the main reasons !

@isazi I am always this ‘user’ doing all the wrong stuff Not sure though, since I literaly have the same settings and sport use on both the Race and Vertical only different watchfaces. The Race is not showing bat drain the vertical after sport dies in 3 days

@EzioAuditore
chaos butterfly effect ?

EzioAuditore

@Mff73 that or @isazi should propose me as the niche user/tester that can tackle all the wrong stuff and cause bugs I am sure the devs will hate me and my tickets (I promise to be detailed :)). Having SW background it should be no brainer assigning me

isazi

@EzioAuditore not a matter of right vs. wrong, just a matter of features used

My Vertical have a daily battery consumption of 10-12% with no activities recorded.
My battery drainage is back again.

Did charge my watch 2100 to 100% on Sunday, and now Tuesday it’s 80%.

Antoine

@Iggge you should do a soft reset

@Iggge Same here. Charged mine to 100% 24 hrs ago and it is down at 91%. No activity. Just normal wear. I think it may have to do with the Android app since I am still on the 2.33.16 version. App was updated Aug 21 (4.97.7).

Just saw there is another update for the app. I will update and monitor the issue.

Definitely not related to android or iOS app as I have the latest iOS and experience drains as well . 9% yesterday in 14 hours also without training , just normal wear

Hello, have you tested with last fw update (->navigation issue trigger) ? It seems that there are some fixes in update of yesterday (but not 100% if i well understood…)

jjpaz

Last night 14% battery lost without use.
I’ll try to update to latest software, I updated Race S yesterday.
Now SV battery lasts similar than Race S, around a week…

isazi

@Antoine fix for battery drain will come in another update in a couple of weeks.
