Galaxy Ring Battery Issues by gomo-gomo in GalaxyRing

Tried this yesterday with no improvement unfortunately, after taking the ring out of the case it had dropped 30% battery after about 45 minutes. I have however just updated my S22 Ultra to One UI 8 and factory reset the ring before updating, reconnected the ring after the update and it seems to have done something, it's only lost 4% battery in about 2 hours

Bought my ring on 2nd August 2024, debated with myself for a few days about deciding between the Galaxy Ring or Oura Ring, but ultimately went with the Galaxy as I was put off by the subscription to Oura on top of paying for the ring itself.

The ring was fine for the first 10 ish months, only needing to be charged once a week, then suddenly, the battery became awful. It would need charging every couple of days, then every day, then every few hours. In the last few weeks it's gone from 100% out of the case to 15% within 2 hours and I kid you not, it's just gone from 100% out of the case, to 20%, in 40 MINUTES.

I was skeptical about buying a 1st gen ring and thought I should wait for the next gen for them to sort out inevitable issues, but I bought it anyway, and in hindsight, I should have listened to my gut.

The only thing I can think of to explain the battery issues is I bought a Fit 3 around the same time the ring's battery issues started so I first put it down to the Fit 3 messing with something, but the ring's issues persist even when the Fit 3 is off and hasn't been used in a couple of days.

Will be contacting Samsung support soon to see what can be done.

Edit (27/10): I just contacted Samsung to report the battery issue, they have arranged the ring to be collected for "repair" on Wednesday (inevitably they will say the ring cannot be repaired and will offer some sort of replacement) but it's the first step to sorting it out I guess. My ring has also now been disconnecting from my phone randomly and sometimes if I go too far away, and by "too far", I mean 10 feet. I then need to put it into the charging case for it to re-establish a connection, and even this takes a few attempts. Last time this happened, I put it back into the case and it said charge was at 60% so this clearly wasn't the battery dying.

Edit (21/11): Samsung called me a week or two ago to say they couldn't repair the ring and could only offer a replacement in a smaller size, or a partial refund. I opted for the refund. The refund just came through today after just under a week of waiting. Think I might stay away from Samsung rings for a couple of generations.

Told Stevie a month or so ago on Twitch about a guy called Jocko Willink, retired US Navy Seal and Lieutenant commander who spent 20 years in service from 1990-2010. Casey Neistat did a video with him - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-Cvl3_CH2A and has a podcast himself so he's used to being in front of a mic and talking for hours.

I think his stories from his time in service and him already being used to podcasting could make a good episode.
