[Huawei watch GT2 - FW 1.0.9.58] BATTERY DRAIN

[basavel]

After I received the upgrade to 1.0.9.58 couple of days ago I am facing serious battery drain on my GT2.

Before my GT2 last easily 7-10 days. After the FW upgrade I went to 1,5 day only !!!!

I did not changed anything in my GT2 settings or android Health app settings. I am using just default watch face no custom faces.

•I tried to reset the GT2 directly from watch display. - doesn` t help
•Than I tried to restore to default settings form android Health app - doesn` t help
•I switched off all monitoring functions (heart/stress/sleep) - only small improvement
• at the end I reinstalled the android health app completely - nothing changed

In 21hrs I had a drop of -45% from battery. I have them just 1 year so battery life should be fully ok...

Is there somebody else facing the same problem ?
Any Idea how to fix ?

I am desperate already

That last update was a really bad one! I have seen many people having problems with their gt after this update! Including me with no connection for calls.

Mine GT2 are useless now. I have to take my old citizen watch instead as GT2 was not reliable at all. On top of weak battery it start randomly freezes...

Really waiting for next NORMAL update

Try with BT off on the watch to see if it is a connexion error ?

How can I turn bt off on the watch?

How can I turn bt off on the watch?

Not an Airplane mode ? Or connexion menu with BT and Wifi ?

I also upgraded my GT2 to this firmware version a couple of days ago, hoping for the inclusion of SPO2 function but nothing.

BTW there truly is a significant drop in battery life since. It's actually like 20% battery per day instead of 12%~15% battery per day before.

Hope Huawei fixes this ASAP.

Battery after 6 day's 15% power without stress and heart beats.Only sleep mode is on and automatic screen opening with hand gesture.
The important problem after the last update is the missed calls. Now show only the number and not the name of the contact.
Before I do not have this problem.
Can you suggest me a solution to this problem?

I also have a lot of battery consumption, only notifications, sleep and pulse are on. restarting to factory settings did not help. frimware 1.0.9.58. will there be any new updates?

I've sent my GT2pro to service as they are still under warranty. Service did changed the motherboard and admit the issue. (Battery drain, random freazing)
Now I am back at FW 1.0.8.16 with blocked auto updates in Health app. Nobody will persuate me to update into 1.0.9.58. ....Will wait for the next release in the row

Yes the last version before the 1.0.9.58 was the best, has all the latest updates and great battery life. I've been able to go through the entire week without charging and it still has like 25% left.

With the current firmware version I struggle to reach the 5th day before the battery goes red.

Just got a Honor Watch magic 2 42 mm and it updated itself automatically (or I updated it unconsciously) on setup. I'm facing the same problems as you describe. I know the 42mm has half the battery life, but it barely achieves 2 days with smart heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking so I searched for my software version and ended up here. If someone else can give feedback about the 42mm appreciated.
Thank for the thread and the info.

Same problem

Since that update, I only have 8 hours batterylife (I have the 42mm version). Still don't know after weeks what it causes.

on 1.0.9.58 i dont have any battery drain, but i see that watch is not counting steps correctly. When i wake at night and do some steps and when i check its saying 0 steps and then also sleep tracker saying that i was not awake.

Any idea when to expect next update? (.....after 1.0.9.58)
