Battery life seems worse...

[cjohn4043]

Ever since the Lollipop update yesterday (the "T" version), my 360 battery life seems worse. I could normally make it a full day and end up with like 50-60%. I'm now down to 35%ish and my "day" is technically still going. Maybe a factory reset is in order...?

I've noticed the same thing. I had added a few watch faces, but I don't think that would have any impact on battery life.

10;30 till 22:30 so 12 hrs on the sales floor and driving around i'm at 60% after the update

6:30am to 10:30pm for me today, and I'm at 11%. That's 16 hours, and I played with Facer a lot today, and had a crap load of notifications as well. I did have a hell of a time getting Facer and the new Android Wear playing nicely with the Moto 360 after the update, and ended up doing a complete removal and reinstall of Facer and a reset of the watch. I definitely cleared the cache on Android Wear, and may have even performed a reinstall of it, but I wouldn't swear to that last one. In any case, a reset may of your watch and clearing your Android Wear cache can't hurt. I removed Facer because it showing up twice in my watch.

25% left after 27 Hrs on. No change about the same as before update.

Is this with ambient mode off or on? I'd like to get a 360, but don't want to have turn the watch on to see the time

Seems worse here, too. Was in theater mode at the movies and still drained a significant amount. Might do a reset soon.

For those of you seeing increased battery drain, open up the Android Wear app on your phone and tap on the settings icon at the top-right corner. Then go to "Watch Battery". It'll tell you which apps are eating the most battery.

I noticed a huge battery drain when I started to play with watch faces in Facer. The "Watch Battery" monitor confirmed that Facer was the biggest battery draining app.

I've switched to WatchMaker and my battery drain disappeared. After 15 hours today, it shows up at the bottom of the list with 1% battery usage. WatchMaker (with the $0.99 in-app purchase) can import the *.face and *.watch files on facerepo.com. Also I think the editor is much better than Facer, so I'm definitely happy with my purchase.

Ambient mode off. I don't feel the need to have it on all the time.

I removed Facer, but also got an update that finally got my HTC One M8 update to 4.4.4. Not sure starts affected it, but my battery life is much better today:

I had issues with mine for a day, but it doesn't seem that bad now. I'm using Facer as well, and I thought it might have been that. I also think, for whatever reason, it could be theater mode that was killing my battery. I had it in theater mode all day while I was at work (thinking with the screen off and no notifications, it should save the battery) and it COMPLETELY died in about 5 hours.

This morning, after having horrendous battery life, I was unable to get the phone and watch connected. I reset the watch, uninstalled and reinstalled Android Wear, and charged the phone back up. I've been going 12 hours, and now have 60%. Looks like it's back in business!

I uninstalled all the apps I had downloaded, and for the past two days I am getting great battery life,more than 18 hours and over 50%of battery left, maybe coincidence, maybe not

I am still experiencing the same problem with battery life
