Lilygo watch s3 issue #256

We have uploaded our own firmware onto these watches. It seems with no rhyme or reason, occasional a watch will turn itself on without me turning it on. Is there something in the hardware making it do this?

We also have noticed the battery being volatile.

I opened 10 brand new watches directly from lilygo and charged them to 100%.
Turn them all on, set them all on the test table.

2 hours later, some of them are 10-15%, one st 38%, some in 50-60%c and one at 89%.

How is this possible? Faulty batteries from lilygo? Something drawing the battery heavily?

Please help. Thanks.

The AXP2101 battery management used by T-Watch-S3 is not calibrated for the battery, so the fuel gauge is inaccurate. It is more direct to get the voltage directly

Random startup? Is it in shutdown mode? Or in sleep mode?The percentage cannot be accurate, which requires the support of xpower, which is not available to individuals.

Oh! This is not normal. If you long-press to turn off the phone, it shouldn't wake up. How long will it take for it to automatically turn on? Can you test it?

I mean, does it always turn on automatically? Or sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't?

There are a few problems. Contact the customer service to resend them to you.

Turning on wifi is bound to not save power. The average current consumption of turning on wifi is above 170mA.

  1. There are several devices with problems. Contact the dealer to resend them to you.
  2. The power consumption of turning on wifi is very high. You can refer to the esp32s3 design manual.

A normal watch cannot automatically turn on after being completely turned off, so I judged it to be a malfunction.

As I said, the fuel gauge is not calibrated, so the percentage has no reference value

Why do the watches discharge at different rates with the same firmware?

Are they? Or is that just the calibration issue? Have you tried running them to power off?

What parameter do you mean by discharge rate?

Have you tested the discharge current between devices with different discharge rates?

Your application requires the wifi to be turned on for a long time, and it cannot be optimized too much. And if the wifi is turned on for a long time, it is obvious that this product is not suitable for this scenario.
You need to change to a device that supports a larger battery capacity.

PMU has the function of automatically turning on when USB is plugged in, and cannot be turned off
