I've used the latest version for a couple of days now and haven't seen any more excessive battery drain. Thanks to everyone who helped fix the issue!
-
For what it's worth, I exclusively use file-based playlists and consistently experience the battery drain with newer versions. I've seen it with both large and small playlists.
-
This graph is of my battery capacity, so any statistics lost between installs is irrelevant. After installing 843, I did literally nothing on my phone except listen to music for 3 hours while working and it consumed 25%. I then downgraded and listened for another 2 hours while working, doing nothing else on my phone. This accurately shows the difference in power usage between both versions on my phone.
-
I've attached a screenshot of using version 843 followed by downgrading back to 820. You can see a steep difference in power consumption.
-
I tried version 843 and still get much higher battery drain compared to 820, though I don't think it's as pronounced as some of the other versions.
-
I never had the beta of Google Play Services installed and encounter the issue for any version newer than 820, including the build posted without Play Services integration.
-
How can you be so sure it's Google services when it's reproducible on the build without Google services?
-
You must uninstall first if you want to downgrade.
-
Poweramp was in the background with the screen off.
-
I still have the battery drain after installing this APK. I guess that rules out Google services being the culprit.
-
Keep notification and keep service are both off. I use wired headphones.
-
That's average usage over the last week. The current usage (on the top of the screenshot) is 4.2%, which according to his post was over the course of 20 minutes. That sounds like an incredible amount if drain.
-
Screen was off and any playback control was done with an inline remote.

@maxmp it didn't take long for the battery drain to happen, even after disabling Chromecast support and restarting my phone. I have attached a screenshot of the battery usage over a ~2.5 hour period after updating back to the latest version. After restarting my phone it was at about 95% battery remaining. I listened to music for ~30 minutes after rebooting, which you can see with the first slight drop in battery. I believe the drain was more or less normal during this period. I think didn't listen to music for a while, which you can see with the flat line where there was next to no

@maxmp my point is that you might get different results with real-world usage where you interact with the app compared to just letting it play untouched overnight. I definitely had much, much higher drain than normal, with the phone getting hot. I had previously downgraded to 820 to avoid the problem, but I installed 823 again, disabled the Chromecast button in the UI settings, restarted my phone, and will report back if that has any impact.
