Chiming into this thread - I have had the same issue with Pandora on two different Android phones. Galaxy S10e and Galaxy S23 (current phone). Pandora is by far the biggest consumer of my battery. I have done the same testing as above in this thread, and have the same results. Including noting that when connected to Android Auto Pandora goes into "battery drain mode" even if I have NOT played any music on AA. Just connecting to the car is enough to trigger the Pandora app to start its shenanigans. The only way to reliably stop it is to kill the app. I really prefer Pandora. I have been a subscriber since the VERY early days, like the first year! I have tried Spotify, and Deezer and others. I just prefer "shuffling my stations" on Pandora and no one else really has that flexibility. PLEASE FIX THIS. I have tried everything including a NEW PHONE, wiping my phone, reinstalling the app, etc. Its so bad my phone will get HOT on some days. I spent the last month with Pandora uninstalled and testing out other apps (deezer mostly). My phone lasts all day, and I have not once had a hot phone. And I have been using AA with Deezer and Spotify. I want to come back to Pandora. ... View more
