Sorry, I ought to have been more specific. To demonstrate the voice issue 
as that is clearly access related.

Hi!
Yes I have that Samantha thing happening too and I am using Swedish Alva.
It takes time to switch her back to Swedish and stop her from speaking Swedish

So write to the accessibility team and I will give them feedback as I am a beta

Hi Gabe,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I???ve tried that, with no change.  In fact, the

Its why I made the suggestion right above her amusing description of

I just saw that language switch thing yesterday. I had never seen it before. In 
my case, I have Samantha set, but then it sometimes just switches to Russian, 
which I also have. But I don???t want it except if I???m trying to read 
Russian, which I don???t usually do on the watch.

Hi Gabe,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I???ve tried that, with no change.  In fact, the 
problem is getting worse.  Last night when I went to bed at ten, it was at 
100%.  When I woke up at 3:30 this morning, it was down to 56%.  But it???s 
definitely related to sleep mode.  When I get up, I force power off the watch, 
and when it comes back up with sleep mode off, the battery behaves normally.

Hi,

I'd also double tap the side button to bring up the app switcher and close any 
apps that appear like they might be battery drainers. Heck, if your battery is 
draining that fast it might be worth closing all apps and then restarting your 
watch again

For the past three days, I???ve been waking up to find that my Apple Watch

Mine is using Samantha right now, and I absolutely can’t get it to change back, 
no matter what I do.  That voice really grates on me.  She sounds like she has 
been out drinking and smoking all night and has a bad hangover. Lol

 Hi all,
 
 For the past three days, I’ve been waking up to find that my Apple Watch 
 battery is severely drained.  When I went to bed last night, it was at 
 100%, and when I woke up this morning, it was at 56%.  Before this week, 
 it would generally be right around 92% when I woke up.  The other thing 
 that seems strange, is that when I went to take it out of sleep mode, 
 there appeared to be some kind of count-down timer running.  Anyone have 
 any idea what could be going on?
 TIA,
 Donna

Re: Apple Watch rapid battery drain during sleep

2024-04-25 Thread 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries
Hi Gabe,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I’ve tried that, with no change.  In fact, the 
problem is getting worse.  Last night when I went to bed at ten, it was at 
100%.  When I woke up at 3:30 this morning, it was down to 56%.  But it’s 
definitely related to sleep mode.  When I get up, I force power off the watch, 
and when it comes back up with sleep mode off, the battery behaves normally.
Cheers,
Donna

Hi, I'd also double tap the side button to bring up the app switcher and close any apps that appear like they might be battery drainers.

Did that.  I have been force powering it off every morning since this started.  
Once I do that, everything is back to normal, but then the next night the same
