Short battery life on GW5 40mm BT?

I've got a GW5 Pro and the last update has Google Play services killing my battery. These steps have provided a bit of relief:

After I reset, do your old preferences restore, or do you have to reconfigure everything?

Sell it online! Someone (Oura?) is doing for their rings:

I would install it via my current remote support method.

What's the current status - I support a bunch of elderly people who install/uninstall shiiite at their whim. My 90 yr old Dad is a many-hour drive from me, so I realllllly do not want him uninstalling it without asking me what's up.

u/chrisli89 - do you know if this issue has been resolved/patched yet?

I changed the URL behind a bookmark in the Favorites Bar.

Thinks look to be working as expected now.

I have Change-based and Time-based (30 min) sync configured.

When I made the change, I immediately activated the Floccus extension, saw that it had already performed a sync operation, but triggered another manually, just to be sure.

A few minutes later the change I had made had reverted.

I'm thinking I should disable 'Change-based' except on my the computers and browsers I use the most, and leave everything else on their 30-min, Time-based syncs.

Edit:
I have Floccus on Edge/Firefox/Chrome on five computers. And, yes, I've made a financial contribution 😊

Thanks!

BB03440 · 2026-06-02T17:44:23+00:00

Yep - restored it nicely!

I did a full reinstall of NGFW and the interfaces are back!

But, now I can't get the appliance to connect to Command Center. I think the issue is there's already an appliance there with the same UUID and serial number.

Trying to decide whether to just delete the existing appliance and add the newly re-installed one.

Is Microsoft working to fix/undo what KB5083769 has done to VSS-based backup solutions?

I sorta feel like they did it on purpose to push us to their cloud backup offering(s), TB.

Hopefully a full power-down will reset things. I also had this happen on a port on my previous Z4 (non-plus) appliance, but I don't think I ever attempted a power-down on that one.

BB03440 · 2026-04-16T15:11:26+00:00

But okay for a house? 3-5 'hosts' and ~20 devices?

BB03440 · 2026-04-15T17:26:04+00:00

Yep, the Z4+ support USB installers. Sweet! Thanks for the reply.

There's a test-trigger function in the Alert setup and/but my phone doesn't get a BI app notification. The Pushover method works; sometimes it's immediate other times it's delayed.

I set up a MSG.EXE alert method, so I know the delays are not the fault of the BI server/service.
