    Hi,

    I usually get 2 days' life out of my phone.

    It also stays cool.

    Neither of these things are true if my son plays games on it OR if I use Movi!

    Using Movi, I get a few hours' use, and it gets V warm.

    Is this nornal?

    Thanks.

    Yes, this is normal. Shooting and processing 4K video is very battery intensive and generates heat.

    Hi,
    My heat and batteruwoes are nothing to do with shooting video - I haven't done any yet!
    This is purely the Movi app.

    What phone are you using and does it do it every time?

    What are you doing with the Movi for a couple of hours if you are not shooting video? What other purpose does putting the phone in the Movi serve?

    Turn the app on and set it on the counter, not in the Movi, for a few and see if it does it. Force quit all other apps and hard reboot the phone first, to make sure your not having an issue with incompatibility between apps.

    Hi,

    HTC 10 Android 8.

    - at the moment the Movi is sitting on my desk, with Tutorial Youtube videos going on in the background, while I take notes. I like to do 'classroom' learning then practice. Sort of saves time

    Actually had a play this afternoon. I got less than 30 minutes of filming before my phone was dead - from a full charge.

    Summat, ain't right.

    Will email FF, to see if they can shed some light.

    Thanks.

    I would agree, but it is important to note, if you’re using android, your using beta software, and beta is beta for a reason.
