Problem:

After the phone/tablet is connected to a wearable device such as a watch or band, the power consumption of the phone/tablet increases.

Cause:

If you have paired a wearable such as a watch or band to your phone/tablet over Bluetooth or another connection method, the wearable will send data to the phone/tablet from time to time. The phone/tablet will wake from standby mode occasionally when it receives data from the wearable, leading to increased power consumption.

Solution:

Disconnect wearable devices that do not require persistent connections with your phone/tablet, and connect them only when you need to sync the data.

We will continue urging the manufacturers of wearables to make improvements to provide you with a better battery life experience.
