If the Roku app on your Android device is causing excessive battery drain, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
Updates often include bug fixes that can resolve issues like excessive battery usage.
If your device's operating system is outdated, it might be incompatible with the Roku app or not optimizing battery usage effectively. Updating to the latest version of Android might help to resolve the issue. https://apkbyte.com
If the Roku app is running in the background, it can drain your battery even when you're not actively using it. To check this, go to your Android device's settings, then "Apps" or "Applications", find the Roku app, and look at its battery usage details. If it is consuming power in the background, you might want to restrict its background activity.
If the Roku app is set to push frequent notifications, this can also drain battery life. You can disable or limit these in the app's settings or in the device's application settings.
Excessive battery drain could be due to connectivity issues. Turn off Wi-Fi, mobile data, and Bluetooth, then turn them back on.
If none of these solutions work, it may be worthwhile to reach out to Roku's customer support for further assistance. https://support.roku.com/
jessycatherine,
Please read the thread before responding.
I've already pointed out three times that battery optimization prevents the app from working as needed and is unacceptable.
I and others have already pointed out that the app is up to date, and already stated the Android versions we're using, which are compatible.
If the problem were with the device's Wi-Fi, there would be problems with more than just this one app, and the Roku app doesn't even use Bluetooth. The problem is clearly in the app, not the phones.
Your comment about notifications makes sense. However, I already have notifications entirely disabled for the app, so it's not that.
