Nothing from my side. Even if I force the app to be locked ON on multitask viewer on my xiaomi Redmi 4x the app has never been as high as you on % usage of battery.
It works!!!!! :victory: Thank you so much! I didn't wear my watch for 1 month and now I still got 20% left after 4 days.
What I did:
- Didn't use the watch for 1 month (Watch turned off)
- Updating to the newest Pacified rom
- Unpair the watch
- Connect and restore data
- Fully charge the watch on my PC
Keep you guys in touch if anything changes.

Happy for you
At about how many % battery did you turn off the watch before leaving it 1 month off?From my side I think last official firmware 1.3.4f has good impact. Fully charge at 9am this morning. Now at 9pm I'm at 72% which is better than before.
I think that having slow charge through PC is good for battery and making "entire" cycles of battery charging during the night with watch off is also good.
I really cannot believe that's it's an hardware problem because it's going sometimes better for some of us
Thanks! I turned my watch off when it had about 30-35%Happy for you

Yes, I know but I'm still not certain. It's strange that some people like me also got this problem without swimming or showering with it. Maybe it's the rain, although it was never extreme in my case and it should be IP67. But I still don't understand why everything is back to normal after not using it for a while and having battery problems for 3 months. One thing is for sure, there is something wrong with the battery.
back to normal because the humidity was over, i tryng put mine in direct sun. lets try.
about water damage:
email recieved today from amazfit support:
"Hello Vinicius,
Thank you for contacting Amazfit.
If your compass doesn't work and battery drains so quickly, your watch maybe damaged by water.
Amazfit watch is water-resistant not waterproof.
It is IP 67 certified which means resistant to dust, rain, splashing, and accidental submersion.
Please don't wear the watch when taking a bath or go to swimming.
Water may compromise Water Resistance rating, damage the battery and cause breakdown, which can't be repaired.
Hope this infor helps.
Please let us know if you need any additional assistance. Cheers and have an excellent day!
Sincerely,
Molly | Amazfit Support"
So, if someone on customer support tries to dismiss a problem by throwing in the air some RTFM and stop bothering me stuff, like they always do, does that make it the official cause?
Even though we don't have any history of apparent links between humidity and battery drain in this or any other consumer electronics device?
And despite having a few examples here of people that apparently got over the problem in ways that have no relationship with the humidity?
No, a closed device (specially being IP67 rated) doesn't simply lose the humidity inside with time. If humidity or water gets inside an electronic device it'll most likely short circuit or ruin any component the water or humidity get in contact with. And the humidity most certainly won't vanish on its own without properly disassembling the device.

makes sense
and if have internal humidify, when used a watch and heat , the humidity have to condense in glass internal, and this dont happen.
I will send tomorow to gearbest.
no, I had the same problem. I opened the watch and I can tell you that there is no humidity in the watch. I had disconnected the battery and all the connectors for 3 days. And that's the best result I've had. For me it is not a problem of humidity but a material problem. something consumes the battery for no reason ...
In my case problem it's not in a watch, it's a Amazfit app or a way to connect to it ...
In flight mode, the watch loses about 10% of the battery per day.
However, when i connect it with phone and Amazfit app work in backgroung, watch will lose 5-10% of the battery per hour.
If I force kill Amazify app using Greenify and use "Watch Droid" for alternative notification method, the battery works well and I have continuous connection and notification push to watch.
So my watch is hardware ok (PACE A1612 / 1.3.4f stock / SN 16121735xxxxxx), its a software bug in my opinion.
I'm sending message to amazfit support at the moment they told me to do a battery test, but the battery passed the test correctly, I have not received any further replies yet.
Sorry for my english, i'm helping google translator

55 % within 9,5 hours in airplane mode. It even consumes power when it's turned off. But it might be my own fault since I have been wearing it a couple of times during quick showers. I thought that was ok with an ip 67 rated device. But the watch was a kind of a disappointment any way, because of the bad Gps sensor.
The same here. Suddenly started to drain after month+ of usage -- now discharges in about 15 hours in "fly mode" almost without usage at all. Tried reset to factory defaults with no luck.
Model: A1612
ROM: 1.3.4f
Phone: Sony Xperia Z3 Compact

@exdeathpl - I received an identical letter from the Amazfit support.
P.S greetings from Poznan
For me the battery problem has disappeared (!!!!) when I installed in my LG G4 the latest Lineage OS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2 in place of stock 6.0 from LG)
The battery now lives fine, about 5-10% per day when watch is always connected to the phone and Amazfit application run.
I'm happy

3Same issue. Cloud sync is the cause. In my case problem occurred after one "Indoor run" session and myself not pushing the data with the Strava (application), while previously would do that manually.
To fix:
1) Turn off "Auto upload" (<Watch> -> Settings)
2) Sync data ONLY with the Strava application (if installed) on phone (<Phone> -> Amazfit Watch (application) -> Me -> Add accounts -> Strava -> Data sync)
3) Just check that everything is ok (not getting strange sync errors) on phone (<Phone> -> Amazfit Watch (application) -> Status -> Scroll down until bike animation -> result of syncing should be OK)
4) Reboot <Watch> (just in case, though probably not required)
Previously battery drained after one day. Currently battery on 62% after two days without recharging.
p.s. Amazfit Watch (application) is causing it because of problems during data synchronization to the "cloud" (probably by incorrectly communicating with the Strava (application)). Most obvious symptom to look for is by going straight to the step 3) and see whether you get strange messages regarding syncing with progress text like "361/0"2[SOLVED] Battery drain issue for Amazfit Pace
My Amazfit lost battery within half a day and i tried so much to fix this.
Started to believe in a hardware problem but after completely resetting the watch and pairing it with a new MI account and not restoring any data it runs several days without charging. I am quite sure the reason for the problem is an unfinished sync that is constantly repeated. Also seems that flight mode doesn't deactivate BT completely as it had no effect on the battery drain. When the connected phone was completely turned off, the battery seemed to last.
I am a bit confused.
What are your experiences with that problem?
Hi all,
I've finally solved the battery drain issue for my Amazfit Pace I've bought one year ago.
I would like to underline that I've always washed the watch under the shower and also when I washed my hands. The smartwatch is IP67 certified, that means IP67 means the unit can be dropped into a body of water up to a meter deep for half an hour.
My problems raised when I forgot the watch at my hand, during a sea swim. Even if the Amazfit pace is water resistant and the water has not entered into the unit, salt minerals entered into the only hole on the smartwatch: the microphone hole.
When I opened the unit, I've found that all contacts were in perfect condition without any oxide on components and smartwatch internal parts. The small paper placed on the mainboard to verify if water entered inside the smartwatch, had not changed color from blank to red, meaning no water presence.
However, in some way some salt has affected the microphone causing oxidation and short circuit: this is the cause of battery drain.
The microphone is protected by a plastic dress fitting its shape and at the end of the hole there is a thin membrane that should prevent water to enter but maybe is not so resistant to small salt minerals.
I solved the problem washing the microphone with isopropylic alchol and then removing the oxidation residuals with a small tip.
Now the battery discharged in 5-6 days as expected for a normal use in airplane mode.
Considering that microphone function is not so useful because there is no correct and plain translation from chinese to english or other languages, you can think to close the hole with some plastic material or, as I've done, with a small drop of plastic glue in order to close the hole avoiding voice blocking.
I hope my experience can help!
Matteo2Hello,
I have recently bought a new Amazfit Pace and it didn't took long to run into battery drain. So I decided to test a bit and I think I found something.
When the Amazfit app syncs health data, this is shown at the bottom of the app, when sync is finished the field change to green and disappear. But after that, about 3-5 seconds later, another datatransmission is made (indicated by network speed meter in androids statusbar), I think the weatherdata is syncing now. But the app doesn't show this so if the user closes the app before or while weather is updating, thinking everything is fine, the watch runs into unfinished sync and into battery drain.
Best workaround is to wait some time after a sync to be sure everything is synced and finished.11
