Bitcoin wallet on smart phone drains battery a lot? I downloaded Android Bitcoin Wallet (version 6.17) on my android phone, and realized that the app drains battery a lot. The system showed 40% of battery was used to the wallet.


Does anyone have same issue?
Or is this happen to other different Bitcoin wallets?
Or should I kill the process after I open the app?


If Bitcoin Wallet drains battery a lot compared to other apps like Whatsapp, Facebook that run background, the wallet is not suitable to smart phone...
I never tried the android version but from my experience from the desktop version, when you run the core, the bitcoin core will attempt to connect to another peer, when it received it, it will verify the transaction using your CPU which causes more power draw
