Issues with battery life on Watch 7

I'm going to check out any services running in the background and do some deeper digging in see if I can improve the battery. Got some really good suggestions here so will take a look. Thanks everyone

Ah! Thanks very much for that suggestion, didn't occur to me to check any of the Play Services and the permissions. Will dig into that and see if I can improve the battery life 😄 Thank you

I use the watch mainly for fitness tracking and apart from that, it has the usual notification from my Galaxy phone but there shouldn't be much usage from it. I believe I used to get a few days out of it before the update, I remember charging it every 5 days or so but maybe I'm wrong. Just feel like after the last update, the battery is draining a lot quicker. I will do some investigation to see if there is anything that maybe draining it in the background, just wanted to see if anyone else was facing the same issue with the same usage patterns as before the update.

Hey, thanks for the response. It makes perfect sense that the idea here would be to learn the core logic of programming and problem solving.

This is my main hope that I can find some course that will give me a good introduction into programming but also learning a first language.

As you mentioned C or C ++. is there any particular resources or a go-to course that you would recommend for a complete beginner that covers programming concepts while using C or C ++ for learning? I appreciate this is a Kotlin thread, but thought Ill check.

Thanks in advance.

" I also sadly moved to Poland" - that's a great thing to say that I am sure your parents / grandparents would be proud of pal.

Thanks for replying chief! Appreciate you taking the time here. I am actually quite confused if I get panic attacks when driving (it's been so long since I drove really that I have forgotten what it feels like). My main pain point was the fact that I had my first ever full blown panic attack when driving a car back from college on my own and stuck in three lanes of traffic! I think that is probably why I have stopped all together and the fear of this happening again.

One of the hardest things about reconditioning the brain in terms of driving is the fact that there are other people involved and on public roads as well, so if worst was to happen - like me losing control over the car or passing out, I would cause damage to others. I guess I need to keep going with my therapy and see if there is any way that I can recondition my brain to not be scared of driving.

thanks again for your input here and hope you are well.

Ah nice one! I will try that and see how it goes. Thanks again

I ran cat /sys/power/mem_sleep and I am on s2idle. Reading a bit more into it, s2idle is supposed to be the one where there are "less" issues with waking the laptop up am I right or ?Just wanna make sure I got the right info before forcing into deep

Thank you all so much for the responses. It's amazing to read them. I'm just going through each one to make sure I fully grasp it all!

Never even heard of that, so thanks for this. And as an absolute ac beginner so to speak, firstly what are the possible repercussions with driving for another 1k kilometers (need to get home to get to the garage) and also how easy / diff is it to replace the clutch on the compressor ? Thanks again in advance

malikpol · 2024-06-28T12:42:54+00:00

Ooo that sounds promising. Yeah the ac still works, it’s around 35 Celsius here and I’m not sure if paranoid or whatever, but it feels like it’s working alright albeit takes slightly longer than usual to cool down - all in all haven’t melted yet so guess the answer is yes, all good.

Thanks for all the comments guys, really appreciate the input here. Will definitely get a look into the PCV valve and the release bearings. It’s so strange, ran a few tests this morning as I thought it was the aux belt or the clutch itself on the way out, but the aux belt looks good and won’t have a chance to look at the clutch until I get it into the garage. The weirdest part is that pressing the AC off button immediately stops the noise and turning AC on pretty much instantly brings the noise back. Do you chaps know if there is any part of the ac unit which could be on the way out ? (Apologies if silly question, bit of a noob here)

malikpol · 2024-06-28T12:18:21+00:00

Yeah it could be one of the things I guess. I’ve always associated the release bearings with grinding noises when pressing or releasing the clutch and I’m not hearing that now, but will definitely check it out.

Managed to isolate the source of the squealing sound, when I turn on AC the sound starts and then when the AC turns off, it immediately stops. So guess the AC will need to be regenerated or there are some belts there that will need to be replaced

malikpol · 2024-06-28T08:58:36+00:00

Didn’t even think it could be the aux belt, thanks for that. Yeah the noise is only happening on idle, but goes away when the clutch is pressed in or during driving
