every game sucks up battery

[Scumperjumper]

Every game I have sucks up batter from the minimalist games to the heavy load games. Like flow to GTA and fruit ninja or hill climb racing.

I have greenify. Why is this happening...

 

[Mooserman15]

Is it happening just when you are playing the game or whenever the phone is on?

 

[Mooncatt]

Phones, computers, and anything else with a processor is pretty much designed to run at full speed no matter what you're doing unless it's just at idle. The processor will calculate 2+2 in the calculator app just as fast as running the most intense game. So unless you artificially throttle the processor, any game (or app for that matter) that requires continuous calculations will drain the battery at about the same rate.

 

[Scumperjumper]

It will just drain it like 3-4 percent every 3 minutes

Try rooting the phone and disabling auto-start. Greenify won't help here.

What's the benefits and asked of rooting?

Risks

There is a setting in the battery section called "Game Optimizer". Is it on?

 

[Scumperjumper]

Yeah game optimizer is on

Can you post a screen shot of the battery stats page after playing a game(s)? Also, are you playing game(s) with max screen brightness - that will also contribute to higher battery use if you are playing for extended periods of time since the screen is always on.

 

[Scumperjumper]

Sure I will tonight. I don't really play with max screen light...I only use max brightness when I am in the sun.
