So the battery life on my new-to-me Nova 3 running the newest firmware version 3.2, isn’t that great. With WiFi on and front light at 50% or less, I get 17 days of standby and about 5 hours of screen-on-time with the battery at 35%. The battery seems to be draining more quickly than the Kon-Tiki2 I used before which was running an older firmware. For those unaware, the Kon-Tiki2 is basically a Nova 3 minus the wacom layer.

I’ve done all the battery optimizations recommended on My Deep Guide and elsewhere. I doubt the wacom layer is draining the battery that much. My guess is it’s the battery itself or the new firmware.

Has anyone else with a Nova 3 experienced this issue? Would be curious to hear how long your device lasts on a single charge.
