Hey guys,
Tomorrow (by tracking from Amazon.fr as it says) I will be new owner of my first smartwatch - moto360 2nd gen. I didnt found any information, so best place is this forum, how long does this watch need to charge from 0(can be 5-10%+)-100%? Did anyone tried full charging?
didn't try full charging yet, but today it took 1h 35m to get from 19% to 100%
i'm happy with the battery life, after 1 week of use, getting 48 hours easily (always on screen disabled and during the night i've enabled airplane mode)

So I had my GS2 fully charged last night. At about 415am I played Game Dev Story for about 30mins and went to bed. I wake up this morning at around 1030 and find my phone completely dead. Obviously this freaks me out since I just got my phone and it should not be going from 100% -> 0% in 5 hours of being idle. Now maybe I didn't turn Game Dev off properly and it was running in the background? I don't know. I got this phone last Monday and this is the fastest it has died. (Even setting this one aside, I'm extremely disappointed in the battery life). Also, I plug it in to charge after I found it dead this morning and went back to sleep. Wake up 2 hours later at 12pm and see its only charged to about 40% and the phone is really hot.
Are these normal for the GS2? It didnt get hot during previous charges (atleast I didn't notice it getting hot). Also what is the average battery life for the S2 and how long does it usually take to charge from 0-100? For some reason I feel like there is something wrong with mine and I should be exchanging it but unfortunately I did root it so undoing the whole process will take some time since I'm still waiting for the jigg.
Normal charge time from zero to full 3-4 Hours via stock charger .
Excessive battery drain multiple posts on the problem .

I don't think anything is wrong with the battery. You can see the battery usage graph, and post if needed. And the device takes around 3 hrs 15 mins from 0 to 100% charge with AC charger.
Regards.
how long is your charging time....on and off
Full charge within less than an hour (I don't bother fo check the exact time)
Are you sure? Mine takes about 4 hours.

are you serious????
From a dead tab, that won't even start with the charging cable in it, it takes almost 2 hours, depends on which apps you have installed and running in your tab also your brightness can make charging hard, if you want the tablet to charge faster, the you have to shut down your tab and then charge
I discharge my tablet completely, then it takes about 4 n half hours to fully recharge and in sleep mode battery discharges like 1% every 12 hours, and with heavy use it sucks the complete juice in 8-9 hours.
So I always charge by Folded Magazine for 5 hours..
ok thanks....
on the webpages they say 5h charging time...
mine is 3h with tab switched off...so i´m wondering...maybe with tab in use...
anybody else?

That's what I usually do - I'll charge my tablet when the Low Battery warning beeps for the second or third time and it takes not more than an hour to get it fully charged.
I did time the charging this evening when only 2% battery life is left and it took 1 hour 35 mins to charge it to 100%. My tablet is 3 months old and there are 29 apps installed (excluding those pre-installed) and HK is on 220 voltage.
Brightness on my machine is set to Automatic.
That can't be right, surely? I know a lot of people swear by the initial eight hour or overnight charge cycle but I've never done it with any of my devices, and I've had quite a few. Anyway, picked up a Z2 this morning, used if for about an hour just to set up my Google account as install a few vital apps. Started charging it at 14% (from roughly 50% out of the box) and five hours later it was at 60% (with a further 2 hours to go until 100% according to the battery monitor).
The shop had closed I bought it from but I will bring it straight back in the morning. So, just in case I make a clown out of myself, the seven hour chrage has to mean something isn't right? My iPad Air didn't take that long, nor does my 17" Vaio.
The first few charging cycles will take longer than usual. It should sort itself out within a week. If it hasn't then I'd think about returning it.
Mine was the same when new.
Now I'm on 2h15 for a full charge.
If you look a bit more at the percentage, you'll notice that is is quite quick until about 85% and it slows down after, the last percent taking the longest.
Picked up a brand new replacement today. Started charging the battery after it had dropped to 4%
130 minutes untill 100% says the battery monitor app I've installed :highfive:
In the past, my Gear S has given me amazing battery life. I was getting (with light-to-average use) around 1.5-2 days per charge, on really light use I got 2.5-3 days!
Now I struggle to get 1 long day...
Here was my Gear's Day:
got up at 9:15, took it off the charger
at 9:30 my SGN4's alarm went off so the Gear notified me and alarmed, I shut it off after a few seconds.
Morning: checked the time a few times (probably 5, max 10)
Lunch: set the alarm on my gear, alarm went off, I turned it off after probably 5-10 seconds
Afternoon: checked the time another 5-10 times.
Tonight: couple skype notifications (8 total) and 1 eBay notification
2am: 20% battery
17 hours of light useage to almost completely drain the battery.
Previously I would use my gear to remote-control the music on my phone or my PC, surf the net on it some, use the flashlight (screen to max brightness for upto a couple minutes) and make long calls (upto 2 hours) and still ahve a good 40% or more at night, sometimes as much as 80% (as I said it lasted roughly 1.5-3 days)
Anyone have any ideas what's going on? This has been happening for a couple days now. Suggestions? (and yes, I have done a soft-reset)

Yeah, that sounds pretty bad. I had that problem once and a reset fixed it. If you already tried that then you might want to try a complete reset along with odin flashing the stock firmware.

Just curious, reading between the lines it looks like you leave it on charge all night. My experience with leaving things charging all night is not good, I know people can argue all day about the tech capabilities of modern day charging , but, no system is 100% perfect 100% of the time, and if anything is going to go a wry, it seems to bring it to a head and some times rather quickly, by all night charge or different/higher capacity chargers, and this watch doesn't take long to charge.
The software upgrade one time on my gs1, caused it to backwards drain immediately after full charge was reached, if it was still left on charge.
With your watch , you could try, draining it fully at the evening leaving it for an half hour, then charging it only till its full, with its own charger then pull it strait out. A couple of full drains/100% charge and disconnect cycles with its own charger might do it.
Forgive me if I've misread your words so nothing here would apply.
Ps I've been tempted to use my tab s rapid charge but the power of the watches unit is quite low so I'm stocking with its own power rating. Good luck
Wich watchface ?
Example : WatchStyler -> 5% by hour
Original Samsung Analog face with eco mode -> 2% by hour (and sometime 1.6%)
Keep an app in background, ex SportStopwatch -> 8% by hour....
Well, it works now. I'm still not sure what caused it though (especially since I'm careful to use the "close all apps" at night and whenever I think of it) However, I do have several somewhat-intensive programs loaded that could have been triggered like Zensou (sp?) Youtube player (though no video was loaded that I'm sure of) as well as Opera Mini. I also have Gear Remote (controls PC though a mated app on my phone) . Any could have triggered since they're all on my homescreen (using the Launcher Face in 8-button mode)
I've been charging using a cheep $10 eBay charger (bought two and one broke within a week so I opened it up and from the looks of it, it literally just turns traces direct from Power +/- and Data +/- on the USB to the Watch, absolutely nothing else in there. I've only used the charger that came with my gear (or my PC's data connection while loading up media)
Charging was overnight and sometimes longer, I'll try charging it less time next time I notice trouble again just in case (though so far not seen a difference in my experiences, usually both methods drop from 100% to ~97 percent in ~2 hours)
One other thing I noticed was I started getting a "SIM not Provisioned" error (apparently my H2O service expired and they didn't remind me) but my thoughts are that it would have no effect on the battery life since I'm in bluetooth mode 99% of the time
Thanks everyone!
What advantage do I have with a stockroom ?

Keep clothes in.
Just received an update for my Gear Fit 2 today. and the battery is about to die after less than 6 hours of usage other than overnight sleep. And by usage, I mean strapped to my wrist as I drove to work, walked up 2 flights of stairs, and sat at desk for a few hours. Typically I wear the device for about 14-16 hours a day, throw it on the charger for about an hour and a half before I go to bed to top it off (usually about 70% or so when I put it on the charger). It will have 100% charge when I go to bed, and in the morning will be around 97% or so, falling to around 70% by about 22:00.
Has anyone else received this update and had any battery issues? I realize the update process would have likely used a few %, but my Fit2 is literally at 8% and it's not even noon yet. I was shocked when I got the alert to turn on power saving. Hoping this is an isolated glitch and will be OK tomorrow after I charge this bad boy back up.
And just to followup, after being in power saving mode for roughly 30 minutes, it just died. From 8% to nothing, while in power saving mode, in a half hour.
This happened to me yesterday after I just installed the update, it went from 75% to 13% in just 4 hrs. (I must say I had debugging and Wi-Fi on during that time as I was testing some watchfaces) I just charged it this morning, and it seems to be fine, again.
Well, after charging the initial quick discharge, I charged it fully and all has been fine for a few days now, so must have been a weird fluke. Odd, but not the end of the world.
I found that my fit 2 can last 2 days max with wifi off after update
I got same battery issue too
I had the same issue, AND it started havingHorizontal lines across the face, three to be exact. I believe the watch itself has a display defect, as I have found dozens of similar reports. I returned mine to Target. Thank goodness for the Red Card return policy is all I have to say. I have some armorgear shields and a leather watch band if anyone needs them LOL Considering getting the old gear fit and using some of the alternative software.
