Battery time really sucks :(

[port513]

Hi there,

I have had my Fitbit Surge for one week now and I have probably the worst battery time ever.

I have All-day sync activated until today and I only got 1d 20h battery time and that is really bad according to me.

I have now switched the All-day sync off to see if there will be any difference.

I use a stock ROM Sony Xperia Z3+ (aka Z4) with latest updates for Sweden.

So if I still get this low battery time, what should I test before returning the unit?

Usage before I turned All-day sync off:

Normal tracking without GPS, started workout and running (without GPS) and sleep tracking.

Normal use of the watch between exercises so no touching of the screen every now and then.

Maybe turn quick view off as well.

I turned All-day sync off and gesture off and now I have about 8 days battery life.
