Excessive battery drain

[geedublya]

Please write necessary information as described below. If information is not enough, I may not have time to look into it.

What device and app version are you using

• Device: Boox Poke4Lite
• OS: Android… 11? I think?
• EinkBro Version 14.x

Describe the bug

Ever since upgrading to version 14.x several weeks ago, if I run it for even a few minutes, the batter on my Boox Poke4 Lite can drain by as much as 20%. The battery drain starts leveling out a bit after that, but within roughly 30-60 minutes, I'm down to about 50% battery.

I've confirmed it's definitely eInk Browser—no other app I'm running causes more than a couple percentage points drop.

Do not report that it works in CHROME, FIREFOX, or EDGE, BRAVE. That does not help. Since these are full-fledge browsers

Thanks Daniel, I'll try to install those specific browsers. I can say right now that the battery drain does not occur using the stock Boox browser (Neo browser). With thanks, George George Garner  |  (he/him/his) Mastodon | LinkedIn | What I'm reading on Instapaper
