Is that an Android thing? I use Merlin to listen to birds and I can record for hours and only lose 20-30%.
- iudqnolq 3y agodepending on what you mean by hours that sounds like significant battery drain compared to screen off and asleep?
- snowe2010 3y agoI mean it’s still recording with the screen off and I’m also using gps for tracking. For hours I mean like 4-5. I don’t think that’s significant at all. You would hardly notice it if you were actually using your phone.
- iudqnolq 3y agoHuh. I see a very significant drop in battery life if I use gps for tracking. My phone would last for days with the screen off, airplane mode, and no apps running in the background. Add tracking and it lasts maybe 10 hours. (I pay attention to this because it's a factor in determining how many battery packs to take backpacking)
