I just went out for 2 hours and after installing the latest update (Karoo 3) I noticed excessive battery consumption. Normally I used to consume 6/7% per hour, today more than double that per hour. Has this happened to others?

  Mine:

  1.559.2149 update

  1. brightness = 50%

  2. Heart rate monitor and phone connected.

  3. Screen always on (no battery save activated)

  4. Most of the ride out on the filed (so good GPS signal)

  5. 100% battery at start

  Timings, battery level and drainage can be seen from the pictures and you can draw the conclusion yourself.

  I had a battery drain after trying to install that update version, I think my unit must have been continually rebooting or just drained after I put it down and left it on for a few hours after I started the update install. Now the update still shows in the Notifications area and won't install after I trigger it and the device reboots. I have just logged a support issue so will keep you updated on progress. On another issue, has anyone had a problem with the on / off button? The original click has gone in the button and does not click, but I can still depress it to turn off or on. Just doesn't feel right any more.

  Thanks @claudiu for your response. On 5 hour total ride I think that your Karoo works good. I made a factory reset and I’ll try next days again.

  @jimbosensier I have the problem with on/off button like you. Turning on and off is quite frustrating. I tried cleaning it by soaking it in soap and water: for a few hours the button works properly then it starts to get stuck again. (I use the Karoo only on road and I clean after any ride).
