Hi everyone,
Perhaps I can shed some light. I purchased a connected 45 the day they were released last week. The moment I fired it up and paired it, It requested to run a update. Soon after, the battery began to drain at the rate of 8% per hour with screen off in airplane mode and would not pass the 98% mark while on the charger. I contacted Tag support, and provided them with a bug report. Later that day, I received a call from the gentlemen that heads up the entire connected development at Intel. He was extremely apologetic and was completely upfront about the issue. He stated that they pulled back the update later on Tuesday last week as they realized that one of the lines in the code was causing a portion of the CPU to continue running. As of Monday this week, they had prepared a new build and were testing it and was told that it is set to be pushed to all connected watches today (Friday). He did however provide me with a temporary workaround. He asked me to put the watch into developer mode and had me swtich on ADB debug. I am now seeing only 2.5% draw per hour which is fantastic and the battery charges to 100%. He said the new patch will rectify all issues. Rest easy everyone, there is no issue with the hardware or battery. It's a software related issue. Fingers crossed the update will indeed be pushed to us today.
