What do you mean by saying that you can't pick music from your iPhone on the Apple Watch anymore?
Or battery life. Ugh it drains massively. Watch was at 73% died within 3 hours.
We mean that you used to have the access to the entire library on the watch, now it is only some cards that are playlists and not the full representation of all the music on the phone on apple watch. The 'Library' that it has all the way at the top of the app (so, bottom of the actual list) is only the music that seems to be synced to the Watch.
Agreed. Usually end the entire day (and do a 90 minute workout) with 30% battery left. Sat at my desk this morning for 4 hours (no workout tracking, not doing any dedicated tasks on the watch) and it just buzzed that I have 10% battery left. Absolutely terrible.
Battery life is terrible here too. I noticed that Apple Watch Faces is requesting location from the phone like permanently. Wondering if it’s contributing to the battery life...
Battery life has been wonderful for me. I disconnected my iWatch at 100% at 7am and now at 11:47am it's 96% and tracking on activity has been working for me.
I'll disable this and see if it improves battery life. I had this one for DP1, and it caused no issues, so I'm skeptical.
There's now a new type of pattern style for the Caleidoscope watchface called “Roseta”
I have the activity digital watch face. My customization for the watch face is I have battery percentage on top left, weather temperature on top right and date on the bottom.
Current settings I have lowest brightness and text size, disable handoff, low alert volume and haptic, and disable background refresh.
Hopefully Apple will release beta 3 for the watchOS ASAP to fix the battery issues.
Something must be trying to get our location and it’s sucking up our battery. But what the heck is it.
I turned off location services for Apple Watch Faces and Workout (since I mainly use Workouts in the gym, so I'm in one location). Still draining. I'm gonna disable location for Dark Sky and Weather next. I agree with you, it's gotta be something searching for our locations.
Can you be more specific? What do you mean by repairing? I reset my watch and set it up as a new watch, and it's still draining.
Thanks!
EDIT: Ohhhh, I get it. Re-pairing the watch (unpairing and then pairing). I thought you meant repairing, like "fixing". Never mind
