Does anybody have their phone battery going flat quicker with Android Wear installed?
My note 3 used to last all day, now i have to charge it half day.
The battery usage has android Wear as the main culprit then system. My Samsung gear live has plenty of battery left (49%) after 16hrs used.
Battery life on Nexus 5 has is lasting half the time

Yes, same problem here. Since installing wear, I'm getting half the life out of my Nexus 5 battery after installing and connecting Android Wear device (Samsung Live). I usually get more than a day's worth of time from my phone, I had burned through 75% of the battery by noon today.
Did you have google now disabled before, but enabled now? If so, try it with google now disabled.

I always used Google now on my phone. The note 3 battery has been great and i have never had the need to disable or do anything. I feel that I may had to send the watch back based on that only.
Got the same problem with an CustomROM, simply annoying with the battery charge with Android Wear and my S3.
Wear had an impact on battery life but not to a point where I'd consider returning the watch.
Edit
I mean, I was able to last almost 2 full days before having the watch and now I need to charge the phone when I come home from work. I'm okay with that.

Are you guys on Bluetooth 3.0 or 4.0?
Bluetooth 4.0 le. I guess the battery on the phone is halved.
With google now turned off, I'm getting close to the previous battery life.

my cousin has same problem,battery drains faster than the usual :crying:
I'm also encountering heavy battery drain with Wear. Didn't have this issue with my Pebble, and there's nothing obvious in BetterBatteryStats or the Android battery settings. Nothing in there ever shows up as bluetooth or Wear related. I've always used Now, nothing new there.
Have this, too.
I have not noticed any difference in battery use. In the battery usage display has any activity moved up in the usage list?

Yeah. The Android Wear App takes like 50-60%, it trumps even System and Display (around 10% each).
The problem definitely is the Wear app on the phone that takes many CPU cycles.
What I tried:
- Reboot watch
- Reboot phone
- Uninstall all apps on watch
- Pairing the watch again with the phone
- Disabling Google Now
- Cleared data of the Android Wear app (which did not(!) reset the settings of that app)
EDIT: Well blimey! Talk about buggy software: Now it works again... Devices just sitting on my desk... No drain anymore...
EDIT2: And now it starts again to drain... what the actual hell?

Nothing for me here... Everything looks normal for my phone. There's just less battery life. It's really odd.

I was experiencing some pretty serious battery drain on my nexus 5 after getting my G watch. At first I didnt really notice it and thought I was just using the phone harder at work (which i might have also been). But one night i unplugged my fully charged phone right before falling asleep and woke up 6 hours later with about 70% battery, i knew something was up.
BBS didnt really provide much insight, and the android battery info just listed Android System as #1 battery user. I got another app, Wakelock Detector, and enabled Advanced Mode in the settings so it shows system processes and discovered that BluetoothRemoteDevices had kept my phone from entering deep sleep most of the night.
Since the only bluetooth device i had paired up at that time was my G watch, I knew it was prob something related to it. I went through and uninstalled a few of the Wear apps i had been using and now i have much better battery life again. I think the culprit for me was the app Wear Unlock or possibly the one camera app I was using also. So maybe go through and try removing as many wear apps as you can and see if it gets better for you. I only have a couple watch faces, wear mini launcher, wear calculator, Calendar, and Wear Aware installed now and much less BluetoothRemoteDevices wakes and my battery life is good on both phone and watch!
Hope this helps

But I love all my apps :'(
Seriously though, it's been happening since day one where the only apps compatible I had installed were Hangouts, Maps, and Keep. I haven't noticed battery life getting worse as I've installed more.

This seems to be another but compared to mine. Glad you have figured it out!
For my bug (high drain of Wear app on phone) I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, also I restored the watch (using the menu option). Drain gone... Fingers crossed!
EDIT:
Next day: Had my watch and phone on the desk over the night (non-charging). Everything fine. Then I started charging the phone. When it was full, I unplugged it and suddenly the Wear app was listet with top battery usage (50%). Only app on watch was the StarWatch watchface.
I have isolated the problem: The battery drain start when I leave home in the morning. Seems there is something that the Wear app does (tries, maybe fails to do). I have uninstalled the Llama app which in my case triggers some actions when I leave home. Let's see what happens.
EDIT: Not solved. Killing the Wear app temporarily stopps the battery usage. But it comes again. By the way: The Wear app seems to do some task periodically, because I get a huge battery drain spike each 5 seconds. Is there any kind of possibility to log what the app does.
Is anyone using the Wear App Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=goko.ws2)? I've read that this app could be the cause for poor battery performance on the phone.
Dear all, my G2 (Korean version, F320S) have massive battery drain after updated to Android 4.4.
For example, before that, the battery level dropped for only 1-2% when the phone was idling, even when I was using 4G networking. However, after updated, the battery level dropped massively (e.g. dropped 20% after 8 hours idling, using a 3G networking, like a Demand Curve).
Do anyone know how to fix this problem?
A lot of smartwatches with Android OS has battery Status problem. It's not sudden battery drain. Android has problem with dealing with some size of batteries (as i suppose). When using watch battery level goes down - ok, but in standby battery status is almost not moving. After 1 and a half day with 60% it says that 2 days left, and all of sudden it stops working.
Callibration Apps doesn't work. Anyone found solution? Because not knowing how long can i last without harger is confusing. (Better without ROOT)
Ah.. I find this topic interesting as I'm experiencing the same scenario too.

I've been getting huge battery drains with Android System and Android OS taking up about 32% of battery life the past 2 months, with no big change in my apps or usage. Seems to even happen in flight mode and screen off....I'm starting to fear it's some google app that broke for our phone, trying to find the cause using BetterBatteryStats ATM.
I encountered 22% Android System usage and it's draining my battery. After a full charge, it takes 10 hours I didn't touch my S3 Neo and the battery is 72%.
I don't know what is the problem. Because the OS should work transparently with minimum CPU and battery usage.
Hi everybody,
I got my Nexus 6P for over 2 years now and I've never encountered a Problem.
But since 2-3 days my Battery drops very fast,
Apps 25%
System 21%
in 14 hours !
I've a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier for 2 weeks with the Gear app running on the Nexus.
I thought this could be the problem but even if I uninstall the app I've the same issue.
Nexus Android is stock :
Ver 8.1.0
Kernel 3.10.73
Build OPM3.171019.016
Is there a problem with the last update?
How can I find the app that drains the battery?
thanks or any help

Sounds like its time to replace your battery.
Hi,
yesterday evening I did a factory reset. now after 15h I got 51% battery with moderate use.
Only 12% System
and 24% Apps
That's defintely a better result as before. I think I got a process in a loop that wasn't killed with a simple reboot.
Turnig off the device isn't the same as taking off the battery. How can I've the same effect as taking off the battery without taking it out ?
