Pokemon GO causing heavy battery drain for some users
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 14 Comments
Pokemon GO’s launch began yesterday having debuted in Australia and New Zealand. Folks in other regions have also been able to get their hands on the game for Android thanks to an APK file floating around.
Unfortunately, early reports are surfacing pertaining to a battery issue. We’re hearing that, in some cases, users are experiencing heavy battery drain. So what can be done?
Niantic does say on an official support page that the team is working on a solution. While you wait, you can try adjusting screen brightness, minimizing in-game actions, and turning the sound off. Pokemon GO also has a battery saver option that can be found in the settings, though the results with using that are unclear currently.
