I just received a new wear OS update for my Galaxy watch 4 classic LTE. And my watch battery is draining 1% every 60sec or so, watch has become laggy, watch face takes forever to complete launch.
P.S I'm bot using LTE plan on my watch.
Why has samsung become so lazy to test there update package throughly before launching it as a stable build to public.
I'm not using LTE mode, I have removed that service as when I have received a call in lte it used to get hot soon and go to cool down mode. So I have remove LTE plan ages ago
As per your concern, we would request you kindly perform the following steps to resolve the battery-draining issue.
