Android debugging -> battery drains

Have you noticed a significant battery drain when debugging Android application on the phone?

Also, does a lot of Log.d() messages drains the battery?

Solution

  • Not really.

    Is not your phone connected to your PC, and thus charging, while you perform debugging?

    Every operation on Android drains battery, but I do not think Logging drain battery more than, say, drawing screen updates.
