Struggling with trying battery as well. It will rapidly charge to 100% but then not even last a few hours. Found a tip online that is a temporary fix, apparently it's a false reading saying it is 100% when it's much lower. If you rapidly pull the ring on and off the charger you will see the number go down and then it will eventually get to the actual battery level. Keep watching it and when it gets back up repeat the process over and over again until you get the ring battery up. It's ridiculous how long it takes to actually charge the ring this way but the battery will then actually last a few days again. Makes me think this is a software issue rather than an actual hardware issue. I'm hoping to find a more permanent solution. Anyone have any other ideas/tricks to try?
I've gotten it to 100% and then tried doing factory resets, but that didn't help at all. Really frustrated 🥴
I went through 2 rings. I finally had enough of the batteru problems. I switched to Oura and couldn't be happier. Especially since I still use my galaxy watch.
Hope you enjoy the subscription payments then. Of course, the way the Samsung ring is going, having to replace it every year would basically be a subscription. Everything is messed up anymore.
Same - gone through 2 rings in 22 months (first one was replaced during the warranty period). The battery in the second one started to die last month - finally contacted support today and they wanted $129 to diagnose so they could repair or replace. Felt like I was throwing good money after bad, so I won't be wearing a ring for a while. Anyone considering buying a Samsung Ring should assume that they'll only work as advertised for a year.
It appears to me that the ring is one giant ripoff, that does not work properly - mainly because of the battery issues. What's the point of the ring if you are not going to be able to get a *at least* a solid week out of it? Personally, I think the battery should be good for either 6 months or a year before charging.
Having the Ring battery issues as well. I was hesitant on purchasing the Ring when it came out because I've always had issue with their watches only working for a year. Seems to be the same with their Ring as well. And for the, definitely not worth it unless you purchase the extended warranty. This is actually my 2nd Ring. The 1st ring I purchased was a return from Best Buy with a nice open box discount. Had to return that and Samsung replaced with a new one since the battery was not fixable. That was a red flag and I knew this ring wasn't going to last long. I will try the suggestion above, yes that is going to be really frustrating, for the money invested in the Ring, needs to be down. Since I do not purchase their watches because if the battery issue and the fact i can't wear it because it leaves a mark on my skin from the backside of it, I will not be replacing my Ring either and finding another one, which really sucks. I Love my Galaxy Phones and everything else in my house that is Samsung, excluding their dryer I have lol
