Hi, the 1.5 version appears to be a CPU hog and can drain a fully charged Galaxy S2 in under 90 minutes. I had no problems with version 1.4 and even after a 4 hour ride the battery would be at 50% plus.
To be sure it is not a phone issue, I ran the app on my newer Galaxy s5 and witnessed the same effect. Both phones got warm to hot on their backs showing the CPU was taking a hammering.
One final note is the app turns on bluetooth without asking and there appears to be no option in the settings to disable that behavior. I have to manually turn it off again each time.
Same problem on my LG G4. After 1 hour this morning, I had lost 90% of battery. Even plugged in to a charge, it is slowly losing battery. Only since the new version.
Havent noted the heat/CPU … but after the update my battery drain is exceptional. On an Xperia Z3, for which I can normally go days without charging, can do an 8 hr outside ride with Data/GPS and Bluetooth on and have 30% left … the Zwift App is just destroying the battery after only 2 hrs.
Even streeeming on WIFI and watching youtube videos does not drain battery so fast. Must admit previous version was a lot more optimized. Hope that great Zwift personal will solve it fast.
Has anyone had a response to a Support ticket for this or noted a change?
I had to uninstall the app as even when plugged into the USB port on a computer, it drained faster than it could be charged. First time Ive ever had an alert on the phone to this effect.
