I have completed the troubleshooting and will use the app normally tomorrow throughout the day. I'll let you know if the issue persists, although I suspect it will as I have done the troubleshooting steps before a few updates ago ... View more

Thanks for the reply Adam. My issue isn't actually when Pandora isn't in use, but happens when it is streaming music. I can close the app and the battery drains as you'd expect from an idling device, but when Pandora is open and playing music the battery tanks at a rate I've never seen from any app- it drains even faster than it would if I were watching HD videos on youtube. I will post screenshots of this usage here soon Something is wrong. I can't recall exactly when Pandora started abusing my battery but it will drain around 15% in about 30 mins WHILE USING THE APP. Not after the app is closed. It isn't starting itself up or misbehaving in any other way. The battery just tanks while the app is actively playing music. This is with screen off, phone on a counter or somewhere else while I work with Pandora playing music. Pandora 100% is the culprit of this battery drain, I can listen to a podcast on youtube or spotify and my phone will last all day. I have tried clearing cache, deleting data, reinstalling the app, nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I've tried other music streaming services solely because of this battery issue but they just don't help me discover new music quite like Pandora does This is on a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra SM-N986U, Android 13 (N986USQU4HWD1) / One UI 5.1 Again, I am getting excessive battery drain WHILE USING THE APP. You can see in the screenshots where the chart drops off is where pandora is active. Moderator Edit: Merged posts ... View more
