Tag Heuer Connected Owner's Thread

I figured I'd get the party started and hopefully I'm not the only one in the room. I was #2 today at the 5th Ave store to pick it up, most of the people waiting in line were bloggers who just took pictures and left.
Here are a bunch of pictures I've taken to try to help get a better idea of what the watch looks like. I'm currently on the road for work but I'll be able to answer more questions and maybe do an APK pull for y'all.

$1500 ?!?!?!

I picked one up in Tokyo a couple of days ago. So far I'm not massively impressed.
It looks amazing and is really responsive but the battery is pants. I think I got 7 hours yesterday and that was with minimal use.
I'm hoping it settles down once I've had it a while.
How's everybody else's battery life?

Excellent. I've not had any issues at all and i'm travelling around a very sunny Japan at the moment.
I know reviews have been negative toward resolution but I can't see anything wrong at all. Looks nice and clear to me.

My battery life has been 12 hours maximum for the 4 days I've had it. Is turning off wifi what you think does the trick?

I found switching WiFi off helped loads. If your watch has a connection to your phone it can use the Internet from there. So it makes the WiFi redundant and just draining battery looking for a connection. I'll only switch WiFi back on if I ever forget my phone.
Also I had the brightness set to 1. Even in bright light it's never been a problem.

hey, would you please tell me what does it say under Settings->about->model?
a picture would be ideal, but don't forget to hide your serial number if you post it

Mate 9 - 1 month later

Fellow XDA members check out my video on my mate 9 after owning it for a month, [Mod Edit

I'm also a power user and I have to say I've gotten 8 hours SOT. When I got this phone I used the daylights out of it. Email social media, YouTube, web and couldn't kill this thing. I agree low light pics aren't good but I do like the camera otherwise. I would have liked to have seen the price around $500 seeing how great the Axon 7 is at $400.

Could you please tell me about the camera lens? I mean to ask about the tiny scratches on the camera lens after usage of a week or two, these scratches are only visible under the light when camera lens is facing the light source. please update about it.

WHY?!
Help me. I am almost sure that my battery drains so much after update to B138 and not physical battery defect. Please convince me. Am I right?

HI,
Im struggling to understand how one is able to attain a SOT of even more than 4 hours. Could the signal strength be a factor for SOT?
I dont have bluetooth turned on nor wifi with automatic screen brightness, i barely get passed 3 hours. Heck, i dont even have the facebook app on the phone.
Please enlighten me on how you have managed to get an SOT of 8 hours. Thanks!:cyclops:

Other than the lock screen issue, the other two are just nitpicking, in my opinion.

was hoping this device would drop to 500. I just can't justify 600 for a huawei.

Great video, disagree entirely with battery. This is the first phone EVER, that I do not have to charge before bedtime. Real life use. Everything else including the Samsungs will need a charge early evening at least. This one, never.
I agree about the screen... I'd have liked 2k.

That is so true even in my case. I use my phone like usual and I get 3-4 hours of SOT. Last night I went to bed, it was on 16%, so I put it on charge.
I am surprised when people around me talk about 6-7 hours of SOT. Makes me wonder, if my battery is bad, or perhaps I need to reset my phone and start again.
By the way, this is within a week of buying the mobile. I never saw more than 4 hours before last night.

I must say battery life is great . I am a heavy user too n I do not disable any stuffs except GPS ( enabled it only when needed). My MINIMUM SOT is consistently 9 hours . With greater usage of wi-fi 10-11 hours. Is quite similar to my other mi mix with higher capacity battery. These are similar SOT with Mate7, Mate8.
As comparison these are other SOT on my other phones I had used : s7e 6-7, one plus 3t 5-6, V20 5-6, iPhone 7+ usage 11-12
Sent from my MIX using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Camera at low light could improve further, it have some software issues.
If noticed that when battery low, the phone throttles graphics and cpu performance, i hope it will be resolved.
Also typing with swiftkey doesn't feel smooth as with my s7e, it has some delays, sometimes though it works fine.

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

So let me be the first to write here . I am currently at 5:40 h SoT, 21 hours standby aaaand....52% left. Unbelievable. I come from Note 10 Plus, great phone, but that battery...just cant keep up..
Google services installed, 4G version, in Europe.

I am using note 10plus now before that is p 30 pro. Only one thing keep me want to switch to mate 30 pro is brattery.
So you are happy switch to from note 10 plus to mate 30 pro so far?:victory:

Well...photos are better definitely, battery doesnt evwn compare, but... Note 10 plus is evenly smooth, because all are "legal" and in place. Meaning that Google is there from the start, on the Mate you kinda have to make a Frankenstein, from pieces. Some things dont work and so on. It has innovation, like Huawei acustomed us with every phone. There are little things that you will miss if you make the switch, I dont know, like for instance swap left or right on a Contact to call or send sms. You know what I mean?

For me, SOT destroys all previous Huawei phones I've owned, including the P30P and M20P. 6 hour screen ontime = still 60% left even though it's not set to max/75% brightness...
The new 7nm+ CPU, bigger battery and maybe even Android 10's software optimizations just makes this (at the time of this post!) the most energy efficient and powerful Huawei phone to date.

Yes, GMS installed; for me its unusually good, because I know that I use my phones the same way. So this is double the Note10Plus for instance. I used it to watch videos a lot, some Youtube, some G Maps, some phone calls (not very much), I dont remember everything unfortunately, wifi or data on. I will post the detailed usage page as well next time.

I thought I'm hard user but I changed my mind after few photos I saw here ?

I totally agree that this mate 30 pro is the most energy efficient and powerful phone to date.

Zero Lemon 10,000mah case review (ongoing)

My case came in yesterday. I figured id start a review thread for it here. Ill update this as i use it more.
First impressions:
This thing is huge. (think vhs tape thick)
Phone fits well and seems secure
Case charged fast
While huge, its not to bad to hold.
I charged my phone to 100% and put the case on today. I screenshoted the time and date so i could remember exactly. I work 12-14 hour shifts and stream music all day to a bluetooth speaker. Ill update after work what my battery is . I normally get a full day off a regular charge so im hoping for 3+ days on this.

More pics

Even more

I would have purchased this case instead of the generic 6000m one I got had I seen your thread before. The case in your pictures seems less "aggressive" than it is in the website

It is very large, but its growing on me more and more. I dont see it as a daily driver, but camping, in my get home bag ect, its perfect

Why didn't they make use of that space next to the camera ? They could've reduced the overall size of the case a little.

I honestly dont know.
Just hit 20% so im using the case to charge now. Notification menus says cable charging so its not fast charging., But still going fast.

No offense, but that looks horrible. It's blocky, square and huge.

Why not shipping to EU/UK? I want to buy it.

Because it would be visible on camera, especially with the ultra wide lens

He was referring to on the inside it didnt use the area beside the camera

Im on day 3 now. The case charge is empty. I stream music all day and. Run gps about 2 hours a day as well. While it is huge, it definitely has its place. Overall its a win for zerolemon.

How much SOT you've had so far ?

I average about 8-9 hours of sot a day. Mostly because some of my streaming is youtube at work too. This wont be my daily driver, but vacations, road trips and bad storm warnings it will definitely be nearby!

Official S20+ Exynos Battery Life Thread

Post your Battery usage here. Lets see what we get with these new devices.

Is Bad battery...

Can't say I'm very impressed so far, I switched from a snapdragon s10 plus. Stand by battery drain was never a problem on the s10. I would finish the day with at least 50% battery left. Less than 3 hours screen time and I'm at 40%. And that's running at 60 fps, 1080p. Snapdragon was so much more efficient for me.
Sent from my SM-G985F using Tapatalk
View attachment 4968155

So far, not too impressed either, getting 5.5 hours of screen on time, with no video watching or gaming. Literally bit of instagram, whatsapp, messenger, camera and spotify. This is at 120hz FHD+.
This will honestly be my my ''normal usage'' but still having removed it from charge at 9.30am and after 12 hours on 20% is a bit sad to some point, specially after those youtube videos with 6.5 hours of screen on time playing games and and filming videos and what not... Hopefully they will get a fix for it, this is UK version with the (not so lovely) Exynos...
Coming from an LG G6 lets say battery wise Im having same performance

For me 6 hours with 120hz, that literally destroys the battery, switching back to 60hz you get 1 - 2 hours more....watching youtube is no issue, but as soon as you get to any scrolling or
multitasking it all goes away.. especially with that 120hz, also it's not very efficient in standby, you can go to sleep with 100 percent and wake up with 93 or something like that..
Hopefully they'll get an update

Not awesome battery life, if I wasn't careful I need to charge twice a day

50% left, 2h33 min screen on. I disconnected charger at 12am, woke up at 7am. Lost 5% during the night with 4g on. I was playing a lot today. Screen at 120hz

It's so unbelievable bad... Damn :/

I'm glad i.ordered the Snapdragon version

This is always the case when buying Samsung flagships early. An update comes out a few months after to address the issue.

Hmm, I have to agree with you. Upon further use, I don't think stand by drain is the issue. It seems to be more app optimisation. Have to give it some time for developers to optimise their apps for this processor.

Don't get me wrong I totally agree with you. There is even speculation that exynos doesn't get the same Sony sensors for the camera. Instead we get Samsung made one's. Totally not cool for sure. I imported a snapdragon s10 last year and it was amazing for battery life profomance. But honestly, I can fully charge this phone in just over an hour. So to say that the shorter battery life is a major problem is just not true imo.

I understand, but I haven't come even close to needing to charge the phone during the day yet. I'd say I'm losing about 10 to 15% more battery then I did on the s10 so all good for now.

Yes, "usage pattern". I'm charging twice a day with the +, something that I did years back..

This is the only complaint i have so far, battery life. It is not disturbingly awful, but I usually have to charge it in the late afternoon, so I dont run out of juice in the evening (I am getting 3.5 - 4 hours of screen time). Situation is even less annoying since It charges really fast. I am running optimised battery plan, bluetooth, wifi, data on. Other than that it is a beast, I am fully enjoying android freedom over my iphone X. Battery will probably improve with updates though.

First and first full charge, 120hz all time. Let's see next days.
