Battery life since update

[shantheman73]

I have the Gear S3 Frontier. After this last update...my battery life has really gone down!
I have always ended the day with 85-90% battery remaining. (Battery life has been incredible on this watch!) Now I'm ending the day with 50% or so remaining.
Anyone else experiencing this?

LTE or non-lte? My nonLTE battery is the same after the update. Phone is Samsung.

Is there a new update? I'm not seeing it yet... I have TMobile LTE version.

My battery has been garage the last 2 days. Like died and shut off before I got home from work yesterday after being fully charged the night before. I don't think my firmware updated recently though.. I was thinking it was the latest watchmaker update

I have lte version and battery has been worst since the update too. It didn't last a whole day couple days last week. Before the update I didn't have to worry about my battery lasting a whole day.

Just got another update today hopefully it fixes the battery drain

My battery life sucked the last couple of days. Restarted the watch and phone, and wiped Gear app cache. Everything back to normal.

Update:. I removed the Glympse app from my watch and also changed the weather refresh rate to 6 hrs...Then I rebooted it. Its back to normal! Ended day with 90% battery yesterday. Crazy how good the battery is again.

Do you have the LTE or BT version.

Same problem here. Battery life is horrible since the update. I'm lucky to get 14 hours where I was getting 2-3 days before. I tried restarting watch and phone. Weather app refresh is set to 24 hours. Is there anyway to turn off the altimeter? I have disabled as much of that app as I can.

Update: I did a backup, reset an restore on the watch. Everything is back to normal now.

I got mine 1 week ago.
Updated to latest firmware and I have everything off except the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (in auto).
Got 56 hours of use with screen off.
This is my second charge since new.
Quite happy with it.
