I have an Android that I frequently run apps on for hours at a time and I've never had this problem before. The game taps 25%+ (25 yesterday, 27 today) of my battery. This is a constant drain, and is in effect even when KHUX is closed. I force stopped it from the battery menu, with no results. If there are in-game settings to diminish this, I can't find them.

 

At this point the only way my phone can restore its battery is by turning it off while it's plugged in. Which would be fine on its own, but this tremendous power hog also leaves me only a few hours of battery life when the phone isn't charging.

What method of charging are you using? This happens to me too but only when I'm charging via USB in my laptop. If I'm charging via the actual charger then it's fine.

I've tried using a wall-mounted outlet and my car. Both are insufficient.

Mate, decrease your brightness. That will save so much energy on the battery power.

I've put it to the lowest setting, but "screen" now takes up 25% as opposed to the 24% from when I took the screenshot. :S

It may be because you device is fairly outdated. Other mobile devices have a harder time processing advanced gaming apps. Trust me, despite X simplistic layout, there's a lot of work that happens with the game behind the scenes (such as AP refilling). Don't be too concerned about it. It's just a fairly demanding app.

So it's normal for it to drain the battery even when it's not running? That doesn't make any sense.

My only other recommendation would be to inspect the mobile with your data provider. They'll give a formal analysis of the predicament.

Would that involve sending them a report of the app?

Not necessarily, just go to your data provider's store (Vodafone, O2, 3, Verizion etc) and show them the problem on your mobile. They'll fix it for you.
