Hi all,
I noticed that Bambu Handy is heavily draining my iPhones 14 Pro battery, even it is not active:

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Or know issue?

Cheers

Did you try closing the app when you’re not using it? No sense in letting it drain the battery by allowing it to run in the background.

I never do that with Apps. They shouldn’t stay “active/active” in the background.
If - it’s an issue by design. =)

Until you’re able to get the design changed (if possible), you could close the app down when you’re not using it. You can also configure your phone to limit what apps can do when running in the background.

Sure thing. I just wanted to check if I am the only one or if it’s a general issue with iOS.
Of if there is an actual solution but workaround.

I am not seeing that behavior. On my iPhone 13 Pro, Handy isn’t even listed in the top apps using battery, and I am at 92% after nine hours of use.

Thanks a lot for sharing.
I’ll try a simple re-install. Let’s see :slight_smile:

Same no major usage here.

Phone gets extremely hot when using the camera view in the app. There is definitely something wrong there

Yep, exactly the same. I disabled background app refresh which at least stopped the permanent battery drainy

My iPhone 14 Pro gets very hot every time I use the app. Any solution?

Same here, Iphone 14 pro, app drains the battery and phone gets hot, so there is somerhing going on with this configuration.

13

Same here, phone gets very warm when using and the battery drains very quick.

I have to say with a 14 max I’ve only ever had handy use 1% over a cycle. iOS 18, Handy 2.14.

I’m on a 14 Pro Max (iOS 17.6.1), started using handy (2.14.0) yesterday while waiting for the printer to ship, so only browsing models, in 20-25 minutes it was the top consumer of the battery, and had dropped the battery from 40% down to 4% and a very warm phone!

Stumbled upon this thread and on my iphone 13 pro the cpu load goes up to 60% after open the app. Regardless if live camera or not. I must force close the app. Please fix that behavior.
