[ARC] Idle Battery Drain Issue on Android 14 (ref#36KAR0)

Hi @mackid1993,

Sorry for the delay here.

A few updates that might illuminate the current status of this issue:

  1. Developers have dedicated an internal channel specifically to Android battery drain/thermal severity reports, for both iOS and Android. No doubt your experience is frustrating, but fortunately, your reports have fueled some activity behind the scenes. Our Product team can now reliably reproduce your specific symptoms (excessive battery drain and thermal severity with Pixel + Buds, to be specific). Several tickets are moving through the pipeline.

  2. We have a fix in the EarlyAccess build for a bug related to backgrounding the app on the Now Playing screen. This bug has likely exacerbated a condition already present that, as mentioned, we’re investigating now.

I hope that helps ease some of the dismay. I’ll provide updates as available on our progress. If you migrate your RoonServer/phone to the EarlyAccess branch, you will possibly experience some improvement for now.
