Z5c on .253 BLE connection with Samsung Gear Fit2

Simmerl19 — Sat, 23 Jul 2016 07:22:27 GMT

Hello,
I tested a Samsung Gear Fit2 with my Z5c recently. Found out that Android system and Android OS use up an enormous amount of energy while the device is connected it gets really hot and it only lasts 4-5 hours instead of 10-12. After disconnection it gets better.
That's not very "Low Energy", is it? And is 10-12 hours normal (no video, no gaming, no facebook-app)?

BTW: My WIFI connection is dropping often, but only on a specific AP which works fine with other devices.

Yes, checked with Samsung, should work.
Tested WIFI on safe mode for half an hour (time-frame in which the error normally occurs), no sign of constant reconnects. Also battery life is way better in safe mode. Right now Android OS again uses 13%.

@Simmerl19

Does the Gear Fit 2 has an app? if it does its probably running in the background all the time, which explain why in safe mode the battery life last longer as it disable third party apps.
