      I think the sensitivity of the backlight has changed . I believe the watch has somehow become more sensitive in turning the backlight on

        @thanasis What do you mean exactly? In what sense sensitive?

          @Ars-Vitae it’s easier to be turned on . I believe (as far as I can tell with one device ) that the backlight is turning on more times that it used to

            Yesterday I used my polar h10 chest strap but the h10 was attached to the belt with at just one point, not at to. I do this usually to avoid that the watch and the belt try to connect via Bluetooth to avoid battery drain in my chest strap. But now my watch really often did a “beep” sound without showing something on the watch. After beeing very annoyed I set my watch into flight mode and there was no more beeping. So I think there’s an Bluetooth issue. Now I have disconnected the chest strap and set the watch in flight mode all the time. Will see if this affects battery drain.

              @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos All right, I charged med watch sunday 12.10. 100 % at 19.00. Have 24/7 OHR and had the watch in flight mode all the time. Monday 13.10. 99 % left. That means 1 % battery drain in 16 hours vs. 12 % battery drain a day with blutooth connection on. See my previous post about the behaviour of the HR belt. I think the hotfix has to handle that in order to stopp the battery drain after tha last update.

                @Stefan-Kersting I have something interesting 🙂
                I’ve tried the same approach with Flight mode - watch is draining as before and syncing (or trying to sync to be more precise) despite flight mode on. I don’t know how this is even possible.

                    @Stefan-Kersting @Belial I think it was discussed somewhere recently, but I cannot find it. But… if you turn off airplane mode via control panel, then all the connections remain on. But if you do it via Settings - Connectivity - Airplane mode, then it turns everything off. I don’t know if it’s a bug or working as designed.

                        I’m sure the switch was active (in control panel).

                        Now I’ve checked, it’s still on and watch is syncing, with connection icon displayed on watchface 🙂

                          Surely a bug in the watch firmware. In Control panel it simply doesn’t work despite showing the switch as enabled.

                          Well then disable it in Control panel, then go to Settings > Connectivity > Airplane mode and enable it there. Double check that it can not connect to phone, and then monitor power consumption.
