Interesting. Doesn't Microsoft included Skype with their Surface tablets? I wonder if it is affecting those machines as well, or if they are doing something different with them.
- legacy2013 13y agoThis is a bug specific to android devices that is caused when the camera is used. Skype accesses the camera often so it can cause the bug to appear more, it's not Skype itself causing the issue
- phaemon 13y agoWhy is Skype accessing the camera often, when there's "0 actual skyping done"?
- corresation 13y agoHow does that mean it isn't Skype causing the issue? On my Windows desktop I recently uninstalled Skype because it would frequently saturate a core for long periods of time while doing absolutely nothing of relevance.
- luka-birsa 13y agoTest 1. Phone charged at 8AM. KitKat + Skype + other apps (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Evernote, 4SQ) + normal usage = Phone dead at 10PM same day. Test 2. Phone charged at 8AM. KitKat + other apps (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Evernote, 4SQ) + normal usage = Next day at 8AM, phone at ~ 50%. Sure, Skype is not causing the issue (it is limited to Android tho).
- mastersk3 13y agoI use Skype almost every other minute, and never witnessed any huge battery drains either from my Windows Phone or Windows RT tablet or even in an iPhone. Guess its an android issue
- levosmetalo 13y agoso it's android's fault that microsoft doesn't want to make their own software run better on android?
