What i noticed is that the game on Android became heavier since the last few updates, on average it usage 100mA more then before. (I have an app to monitor power usage)
I notice especially when I give coverage by Hotspot to another phone and Bluetooth for the GO+. Then my phone nearly explodes because of the heat produced, and the additional battery of 20.000 drowns really rapid.

From what I’ve seen phones that are tethered together seems to work better my brother’s wife uses her hotspot for there’s son to play with walking and when we do raise he never seems to have trouble even though she does sometimes

Oh yeah, definitely. Although I do carry a battery pack anyway and if it’s not cold, it’s okay to play PoGo without it.
I can do long walks as long as the battery is fully charged before I go out and by the time I come back home, I still have about 30-40% left hah.
I’m just dreading the winter months when we go out for raids in the -20C weather

Try an external battery that can recharge your phone WHILE you play on it. I like the old Anker that a friend gave to me recently.
It actually uses more battery when you are on wifi and if you use a go plus…keep that in mind…there are, however, some fantastic portable chargers out there…I personally have a 25000mAh and I can play for almost 14 hours straight(yes, I actually did that once)

It usually drains about a 3rd of my battery when I take the dogs for a walk.

Yes, at times it does and no it doesn’t at other times, just depends on how my phone feels that day. Or how laggy my game is that day.
