PT2 Insane Battery Drain

Received my PT2 two nights ago, installed Halycon watchface and overnight it died completely. After charging to 100% the battery lasted maybe 8 hours then died completely again. I charged it for a few hours before going to bed last night (letting it trickle at 100% for a few hours), and once again it died overnight. I charged it to 100% again this morning, and tried a factory reset using only the default tictoc watchface. That was an hour ago and it’s already at 80%, has anyone else had this happen? Not sure if there is a hardware issue at this point. I submitted a bug report just now.

Is it specific to the Halcyon watchface?

Looks like it’s not, maybe a bum battery:

In that case, you should submit a bug report through the Pebble app. It’ll let them see what’s going on with the battery and also contact support.

Hi Darkrai9292,

Your not alone mate. I’m having the same issues. I filled a bug report and hope they can help me out. At most after three factory resets and using just the basic watchface that comes with it and all the good stuff put off. I get maybe 20 hours.

Over 50% for backlight is wild and likely the culprit. Is it constantly on? It uses barely 7% for me and I have motion stuff on. If it’s off I would recommend to open a ticket, seems like some hardware/software fault.

Sometimes I’ve found that when switching from an app to a watch-face the backlight sort of “resets”? Where the backlight doesn’t turn off after the interval. I’ve found this after playing Pebblemon for example. Had to restart the watch(hold back and centre for a few secs), to correct it.

EDIT: Just to add, the bug doesn’t appear after straight up entering then exiting the game, usually appears after having a battle then exiting.
