The game worked great for me for the first week or two then it began making my phone shut off when there was still a lot of charge left on it. This week it's been shutting off around 70% to 80% and the other day I manged to make it to 67%. I've turned off music/sound effects and got a battery saver app to shut the screen off but it's only helping a little bit. Sometimes it'll last 5 minutes, other times it'll last 10, 20, 30. There's no pattern. Am I the only one this is happening to or are there others? I'm running it on an HTC DNA.

Your phone spec looks good but it doesn't matter because I have tried Pokemon on an entry level device with poor cpu/gpu and just 1GB of RAM, it lagged/freezed a lot.. a lot but the device never switched off. In fact I could play at the end of 1% too.

Trying clearing out the cache 1st and then the data of the Pokemon app from Settings > installed app > Pokemon. And then uninstall and reinstall the app.

Is the phone getting hot while playing? It could be shutting down due to overheating. I know this game makes my device run pretty hot at times to the point it hurts my ear to answer a call.

Thanks! I'll try that. I was able to play until my phone got pretty low in the beginning.

It gets hot sometimes but not all the time. I thought that might be an issue too but it's not always the case.

Update: I broke out my portal charger and BAM no shutting off. I guess I'll just always have to carry it with me now and I can play as long as I want! It didn't actually charge my phone but it stopped it from massively draining or shutting off so I'll take it.

I heard that Pokemon Go will be updated to accommodate with the battery usage in the new android Nougat update! Sorry if this doesn't help at all though! :(

I'm actually on 4.4.2 Kitkat and plan on staying there so foxfi works. Any update after that and it's broken. Awesome for all the Nourgart users though!
