Re: Roku iOS app causing an excessive battery drain

Yes, it’s always when I’m using private listening. I stream a lot in the early Am. to my hearing aids. This all started about 2 to 3 weeks ago.

Re: Roku iOS app causing an excessive battery drain

I am using private listening while watching TV in my office. It causes significant battery drain so I have to plug it in while watching and it's heating up the battery quite a bit.

I am using Roku App Version 9.1.0.31 on iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16.4.1.

Re: Roku iOS app causing an excessive battery drain

I am using Roku App Version 9.1.0.31 on iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16.4.1.

i connected to my Roku streaming stick via the iOS app, used the in-app remote to navigate to Netflix, enabled private listening so I can listen on my headphones and streamed the Seinfeld series. I did this late last week and noticed that the battery on my iPhone had drained pretty quickly.  This has happened every time I’ve used it since.  Today I noticed the while plugged in, the battery gets warm and just keeps up with the battery drain but the charger can’t get ahead of it and will stay about the same percentage that it started at.
