Hi!

Normally Neutron, if stopped and you exited from UI, will deallocate some of its processing classes to free memory as much as possible and stay in Idle state with internal update frequency of 1 time per 1 second.

Did you have such problem before updated to 10.1?

What about latest 1.74? It has much lower CPU consumption.

Best regards,
Dmitry.

I have the same issue. I'm on 10.1 MR also and when running Neutron the device is becoming hot and battery drains relatively quickly.

This is really strange as it is not happening on my Z10 with 10.0.9.380 firmware (initial release). BB is getting ready 10.2 update which is going to introduce many bug fixes and stability. Most probably it will affect Neutron too.

Just to confirm that the same is happening on the latest 10.2.0.1047 leak. Neutron is currently an absolute battery killer, I'm afraid.

If there is any way I can help test a fix, just let me know.

Same problem is reported on the CrackBerry forums as well.

Great application, but it is a battery killer on this vzw new update. It need a total shut off button

After thorough analysis there was bug detected in Neutron's code related active frame and most probably it was causing the problem. It is fixed and in 1.74.2 update (next week) let's see if problem continues or gets fixed.

Confirmed not to be fixed on 1.74.1.4. Looking forward to 1.74.2!
