Hello!
I'm having an issue with the Wear App on my HTC 10.
I recently got a Huawei Watch (1st gen) and the Wear App is consistently the top battery draining app on my phone with 50%+ at the end of the day and the wake locks are crazy, my phone barely goes into deep sleep. Now, I know Bluetooth drains the battery and all that as I previously had a Pebble so I'm used to having Bluetooth on all day but I never saw this behavior.
I've tried factory resetting the watch, deleting the wear app and setting up the whole thing all over again but no dice. I only have a couple of apps on the watch (Telegram, Uber, Fit and Pujie) so the watch is probably not requesting a lot of data thus waking up the phone.
Has anyone faced something similar? how can I fix this?

Recently my note 3's wifi won't turn off while asleep. Under battery usage it shows that the wifi is on the entire time. The android os also shows as being on for more than an hour (it's also the top app on battery usage). It's lead to a battery drain. Using wake lock detector and bbs I haven't seen any app that is causing the problem. I haven't changed any setting either. The wifi is set to never be on during sleep periods. I remember seeing a post with a problem about this but I can't seem to find it anymore. I really don't feel like resetting back to factory settings. Anyone experience this or know what's causing it.
Ever since I downloaded the app and paired my phone with my LG G Watch, I went from a full day's use to only 6 hours on my Oppo Find 7a. Its really frustrating. Tried resetting, redownloading and reinstalling to no avail. My phone even heats up now (something it doesn't normally do). I know with bluetooth and constant connection with the watch, battery life will take a hit but never expected it to be this much. Any one else?

As you said, bluetooth and constant connection would drain the battery life...

Not necessarily... I noticed only slight more battery drain running it on my S4

bluetooth's problem
Oppo Find 7a must be defective, bluetooth takes very little battery life. I am thinking up until you had a bluetooth device you never turned it on, you finally turn it on and find the phone is defective.
My Note 3, I never turn off bluetooth off and I can not notice any battery drain.
Looked at the screen shop Android Wear is in some sort of wake lock.
Mine Android Wear is not even listed see Bluetooth at 3% but no Android wear.
You have some utility that maybe cause issue? I never use a battery conserving app they do not work.
or the device which I do not know may not be using 4.4?
Android Wear with my Moto 360 is consistently killing my T-Mobile Xperia Z3's battery life every day. Yesterday it used over 35% of the total battery, topping out Screen-On time in the battery listings. This morning it has already killed 28% and its barely 11AM.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Its making my Z3 die way earlier than it should and its ruining my Z3 experience.
I had the same issue when I first setup my lg android wear watch. The following resolved my issues.
Don't use stamina mode - personally I get worse battery life with it enabled.
Uninstalled android wear app with watch still paired then reinstalled.
After both those steps my android wear app uses next to no battery.
Hth
I don't have this issue, I just did a normal install and pairing. I also have the 360, and its pretty much paired all day.
my smartwatch 3 has been dispatched, so Ill report what it's impact on battery is like shortly

Same here.
No real effect on battery for my gear live
I was having the same problem with the Android Wear app causing major battery drain, but it would only happen at my office when on corp wifi. When I would turn off wifi, usage would drop back to normal levels. I have very limited notifications going to the watch.
How was I measuring this? My 'normal' battery drain is 165mA (measured using Battery Monitor Widget Pro). When the problem was happening, my usage would go to 665mA and I would burn through the battery pretty fast.
I had tried to reset the watch.... no change.
I tried reseting and not reloading apps... no change.
A couple of days ago though, I uninstalled the Android Wear app itself from my phone and then reloaded it and set everything back to the way it was prior to deleting the app. I'm a little surprised to report that it seems to have cleared the issue. My battery usage is now back in the 165mA range where it used to be. I'm crossing my fingers that this holds up!
I got a G watch and it did not affected the battery life. I guess trough the day I spent around 5% more juice from my Z3
There is a known issue with some corporate WiFi networks (and possibly other secure locations). For security, a lot of places will block all DNS traffic not going to the internal servers. If this is the case at your work, the Android Wear app is constantly trying to connect to the Google DNS servers and failing. The app should fall back onto the DHCP assigned DNS servers, but it doesn't do that. An easy fix is to turn off WiFi. I usually have to reboot the phone to stop the drain.
I had this issue at first as well, but after a bit of resetting and repairing, the watch barely uses any battery. I leave the Stamina mode on and even after moderate to heavy use and 10 hours of being off the charger, I still have about 50 percent left at the end of a work day.
I was having heavy battery drain only with stamina mode enabled. I allowed android wear app to run in stamina mode and usage is is now not even taking 1%
Use a Moto 360 with mine, lots of email and chat notifications all day for work. 9 hours into my day i'm at 66% battery.
I too had that issues
I have a 360 & t-mobile z3. Both batteries are draining extremely fast. Android system seams to be the problem. I've tried force stops and clearing data. I may have to reset both devices. Any thoughts?
I had this same issue with my Z3c and now my Z3, turning off stamina mode solved this for me!

Same combo for me, never had a problem with battery life. I returned the Z3 because of the camera but I miss that mofo. Now I'm back on my N5 which does not have great battery life to say the least.

I ended up having to reset both devices and start fresh. Back to great battery life on both devices. Now if I could just figure out the why....

Android wear app is not even listed, but my phone never get to deep sleep and battery life is worse.

I got my moto360 about a week-and-a-half ago, but have noticed that the battery on my Note 3 is draining more quickly than before. When I check my battery stats, 35-40% of the usage is Bluetooth. This was never the case before I got an Android Wear device.
Anyone else experience issues like this and know what it might be? I have installed a bunch of watch faces (though I'm using one of the most basic ones right now). I also have Weather Timeline (set to update hourly) and LightFlow installed and sending vibrations to the watch when I get Hangouts/SMS messages.
This question was never asked.
Bluetooth does not register as a power drain on my Nexus 6.
I have no idea what lightflow is, I get messaging notifications without it.
Hi guys,
I have been having an issue with my Motorola X Play (UK Single Sim) I have only owned it for a few months from new.... The battery is draining fast and I can see in the battery stats that it's not sleeping, otherwise the battery usage page shows nothing of interest, apart from perhaps Mobile Standby which is quite high, above the screen but the signal bar is all green...
I rooted my phone to better find out what was causing these issues, otherwise stock Marshmallow. Unfortunately Motorola now are not interested as they say my phone is rooted and now has no warranty - useless idiots!
Using GS Sam battery monitor (rooted) I can see that the following is keeping the phone awake, no other app is.
48.3% of battery consumed by Kernel (Android OS)
Keep awake over 2 hours
CPU usage 59m 53s
Number of Wake Locks: 1
Byes sent: 246.21KB
Bytes Received: 5.70MB
App UID: 0
Wakelock Detail:
Google_C2DM 0.0s (1)
I have tried safe mode but it appears to be the same, I have hardly any apps installed apart from Facebook and Facebook messenger and I have even tried it without them...
I have tried turning off/on WiFi / Location / GPS is now disabled. WiFi Scanning is off. Restarts make no difference... I have even done a factory reset about a month ago.
Any ideas, this phone is having the same battery life or less than my Nexus 5 which had a much smaller battery...
Many thanks
here's a way to avoid it http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/google-c2dm-checkin-services-t1321520
i'll update if i find anything else.
don't tell them your device is rooted. if you go to service center just re-lock the bootloader and its back to normal.[it won't get your warranty back but they don't check that much]
can you post a screenshot of gs sam.
1 - Install BetterBatteryStats (BBS) - this will give you detailed information on what is draining your battery. Get it from XDA v2.2.0.0B6 - this gives you the detailed breakdown in the UI that you are after, the google play version doesn't do it in the UI (older version).
Get baseline results (charge it full, don't touch it for 5-6 hours) I like to do this while sleeping.
2 - Install Greenify (you don't need the Xposed module if you don't want to fiddle with that yet, alto I highly recommend it) set the working mode to root. If applications are still not sleeping, add the widget and force sleep everything before you turn off your screen
Get BBS results (do the 5-6 hours while sleeping) - improved?
3 - Install Naptime from the google play store (by Fransico Franco)
Get BBS results - improved?
Getting anal about battery usage?
4- Read up on Amplify - this yielded even more results for me. But this can take a bit of work to get right. There's a lot of great threads on XDA for setting this up.
5 -Smart network - allows you to control data, networks, wifi, bluetooh, nfc, gps on/off with a ton of great features for auto. management.
I have all the above and yield a 0.4%/hr drain on stand by (see signature for phone build).
Amplify is a god sent app. It has been 4 hours now, and I have been using whatsapp on and off (about 20 seconds each time) and I still have 97% left in the tank.

Facebook app has been known to cause serious battery drain in the past. Uninstall it and test again.
In 99% of the cases it is caused by an app. Try to find out which one is causing the drain.
Hi all,
Sorry for the delay and thanks for the replies. I performed a factory reset again, after clearing the cache etc, the same as I did last time. The only difference is I then installed Android 6.0.1
The battery drain has now gone. I didn't perform a restore of apps etc, and the only apps I have installed so far in addition have been Facebook and Facebook messenger but I have found these have had no effect at all on the battery drain. I haven't even updated the stock apps (apart from the security ones).
I now get two days of use easy. It also seems to be running slightly faster. I will update apps one by one, over the course of a few days to make sure nothing causes it again...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
I use this guide, works really great to limit wake locks.
And I don't use Fb app but use the browser instead, battery lasts easily two days of "heavy" usage !
I found the problem, or at least a major bug. Whenever you cast to Google Chromecast Audio and then stop casting completely there is a massive wakelock until you next restart the phone. My phone was awake all night and down to 20% battery life. Android OS takes a massive portion of the battery life and under keep awake stats it's 9 hours +. It seems that when it says disconnected it is not. A major bug! I'll try and report it using Google's bug reporter...

not even Doze could kill it? perhaps you could try Servicely and see if it could stop the thing from running.

Nope, Doze had no affect at all but it should be as it was sitting stationary overnight - normally the drain overnight is a few percent at the most, last night it was around 65% and I was left with 20% in the morning and this was I think the first time I had used Google Chromecast Audio since the factory reset with great battery life up to last night... I could try Servicely but I am not sure on the service to kill and I'd like to keep it 100% stock for now so I can help out Google to fix the bug (or Motorola if they bother)... What a pain as I just bought 4x Google Chromecast Audios!!
I have reported it here in the Android bug tracker, feel free to comment / star the issue to bring it to Google's attention.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=208324
However I am not sure if this is a Motorola Issue or a Google Marshmallow / Chromecast issue?? Motorola support have been very unhelpful so no luck if that is the case...
If anyone else with Chromecast Audio could confirm the bug that would be great.
Thanks
Laurence
There's a post on reddit about battery drain with chromecast audio about a year ago, not sure if it's the same issue though.

maybe this help, on moto g this helped
apart from greenify and naptime...i dont think we have something like amplify yet for nougat devices, also with the governor scripts they are providing better results now
yep
