Battery life non-existant??

[i00]

How much battery life should I expect out of my watch ... I have wifi and gps enabled but they have not been connected all day ... I get just over 8 hours of battery life which is NOT acceptable

Any tips ... I saw someone on this forum say he was getting 3 days! ... and most of my battery is cell standby..???



... Looks like the screen is completely killing it ... but I don't use it all that much ...

Thanks,
Kris

whoa, wow. How did you make this screenshot?

Normally my omate has battery for 3 days, but I discovered that connecting it to PC or to a bluetooth keyboard and doing whatever else than only talking to it a few times a day depletes battery in just a few hours.

Also after 3 days it claims battery to be at 70%, but then it suddenly turns off as if battery ran out.

Power+Home ... non-rooted device ... would root but will wait till it's more stable ... some ppl have been having issues with recovery (not being able to system reset) etc

uhh, what do you mean power+home? Is that the top button (used to power on/off Omate) pressed simultaneously with key "home" on a bluetooth keyboard connected to Omate?

No the top and bottom buttons together on the watch... can be a little difficult as they are quite resistant and have to pressed precisely @ the same time.

... btw haven't used it today at all ... 92% for 4 hours so far ... so hopefully I get the day out of it ... surprised how fast it drains though when you use it ... prob only lasts an hour with the screen on but the battery info says the screen doesn't use much.
