Demoĭemo programs have a limited functionality for free, but charge for an advanced set of features or for the removal of advertisements from the program's interfaces. In some cases, all the functionality is disabled until the license is purchased.

Only real solution: Hound Niantic until they fix their hardware-abusing app. (I can run 3D-rendered GPS navigation apps or games while continuously streaming data and playing music in the background all day long, and it doesn't heat up my phone like PoGo does.) The fact is that this app runs your CPU and battery excessively hard and hot, and it really doesn't need to. Lots of us have already noticed battery capacity loss. Some of us have had their batteries killed entirely. Various other heat-related problems have been reported as well.Ī few users here have said that it doesn't heat up their phone or drain their battery quickly, but that is a vanishingly small minority. Until Niantic fixes their code, it's going to keep costing us, through greatly reduced hardware life. How much will it cost to have your battery replaced 2-3 times as often as you normally would? How about your whole phone?Īlso consider reporting the app as abusive to hardware. For Android: Near the bottom of the Pokémon Go page in the Play Store: Flag as inappropriate: Harmful to device or data. I don't know the app reporting procedure for iOS / App Store perhaps someone who does know can share that info in a comment. This app is alarmingly hard on both short-term and long-term battery life. A power bank is a technical workaround for one of those, but it's not truly a fix. The underlying problem is not a technical one, but rather a policy / decision-making issue at Niantic. If they wanted to fix the battery abuse, they most certainly could. (Comparison: I can run 3D-rendered GPS navigation apps or games while continuously streaming data and playing music in the background all day long, and it doesn't heat up my phone like PoGo does.) This issue has been repeatedly raised here for almost a year, and Niantic has been unresponsive.
