Question Serious battery drain

[keshet1]

Hello,
Just got my new watch and I've experienced some major battery problems. The watch uses approximately 1 percent per hour. However, with the mi band 3 it would last days without draining.
All the messages and heart rater monitor functions are disabled.
The brightness is at 40%, and you need to tap in order to show the hour What am I doing wrong?

Not sure that you are doing anything wrong sounds like you may just have a bad watch ,maybe a factory reset might work if something is running on the watch that should not be. Yesterday i had Continuous heart rate on , arm jester on to turn on screen, received about 5 texts and have brightness at max and burned less then 10% for the day. What app are you using not sure from the picture what that is, but possible if you are running more then one app to your mi band that would also speed up the battery consumption rate.

Yes I'm running two apps. Does this really consume more battery?

If you are running third party app that it will drain battery

Were you able to fix the problem? Mine went from 100% to 70% in 4 hours. This is crazy. Any suggestions?

Only use with mifit, you will see the difference

That's all I use it for. No third party apps nor notifications running. Battery down to 43% in less than 8 hours. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Fixed mine, using only the mi app, going 3% per day

I basically turned everything off. It is just a dumb watch now. Still, battery drains fast. I guess I have a defective unit..... thanks!

If it's a new watch it may takes a few battery cycles to have a steady drain

I have this problem before .. i make reset and now every thing normal

 

[quickitie]

Thanks for all the advice.
It's the 3rd day and my battery went from 99%->17% in 8 hours. Do you think I will eventually get 10 days to 20 days???

BAttery was charged 100% on 26/6. Yesterday evening it was at 40%. This morning the band was off. battery 0%

Interesting, seems like the watch can't detect the battery correctly.

And this step from 40% to 0 was in night ? The sleeping asisten is activated ? Maybe you can try to disable it...

No. It was on the table. Phone BT was off.

Well, after a few discharging and charging cycle the watch holds solid 15 days, but the battery drop is inconsistent. From 100 to 90 is a day and 90 to 80 is a week.
Make sure to use only one app and maybe even factory reset
