Hi,

 

The battery of my Sense is drained fast.  So I tried to toggle GPS on every time I run, walk or hike and then turn it off afterward.  However, it doesn't help much.  Besides, turning GPS on/off on the Sense is 

kind of not easy simple task.

Just wonder if leaving GPS on for the exercise types I use frequently would drain the battery fast?

Even if I turn off the "Auto Recognized Exercises" completely?  

Note that besides tracking my exercises, I normally don't run SPO2 or Snore Detection.

Please advise,

TDo

Hi @Trieds - it is known that GPS does drain the battery quite quickly.. However you say you don't use Snore detection or SpO2, please check both again, especially if you have the SpO2 tracker installed then it is being used. See other issues in How to resolve the Major issues causing short battery life.
