Hi,

I experience a slighty higher battery usage after updating the Companion App to 1.4.0
Does this sound familiar to you out there using Samsung ?
 
HMm; I think you are talking about extra battery drain on your Samsung Android cellphone.

That may be true and thanks for pointing that out. But cellphones have such Big-Honking-Batteries that the impact from extra battery drain on your cellphone is still insignificant, right? Maybe you can say what percentage daily cellphone battery use was noticed after updating to Companion App 1.4?
 
The update/Companion App drained the Battery during regular smartphone use from 100 to 88% in about an hour.

So, I performed a "forced Stop" of the App, and left its unused for a couple of days. Battery usage has restored and..as a side-effect, the BT dropouts were less as when the Companion App is in "active State"....

I would advice everyone who uses Android to only connect your Ha's with Bluetooth and leave the Companion App for a Trail..
Please leave comments and experiences.
