Has anybody else been having recent issues with battery drain on their windows 10 devices? I've been noticing over the past week that I'm draining much quicker than normal while only running MobileSheets.
2 hours this morning took me down to about 50% instead of the usual 75% or so...this concerns me.
I'm hoping to track down whether it's related the the app's recent updates or some other Windows updates.

Just to verify, are you running version 2.4.3?

It updated yesterday, but I don't recall the build number. Is that 2.4.3?

Yes, that should be version 2.4.3. I'll be curious to hear if others also are experiencing any battery drain. Are you using the experimental audio player or the old one?
Thanks,
Mike

I do not use the audio player. I only use msp to view my music.

So there are two of us at least.
I have noticed that my tablet is running much hotter as well. Still unsure if it's MSP or Windows.

I'm going to review every change carefully and do some debugging to see if I can locate any processing threads that are draining CPU needlessly. Do you guys know if the problem is between 2.4.2->2.4.3 or 2.3.8->2.4.3?
Thanks,
Mike

I can't say for certain. I really only started noticing it was bad this past weekend for my Saturday night and Sunday morning church services and wedding. I haven't really kept track of when it updates since Microsoft usually pushes the updates automatically.

I believe I've located the problem. It only occurs after the app has been suspended and then resumed (so if you turn off the screen or multi-task). I'll submit an update ASAP.
