Clash runs very hot and kills my nexus 7 battery

As per title. I know other people have some success by under clocking their device, and clash would still run fine. This means the problem is not really clash needing to use a lot of CPU time.

I enabled the CPU monitor in the developer options menu. The graph shows user, system and interrupt time in real time overlaid on the screen. This confirms that clash uses some CPU but not loads - however when clash is running, interrupt time (the blue part of the graph) is really high. If supercell could figure out why clash is causing so many interrupts, android power usage would be similar to that on iOS.

Screenshot below shows the graph. Blue is interrupts and it stays sustained at a high level, whereas the green and red parts (user and system time) are often lower than shown.

Supercell please take a look!

Thats why I use an iPad, never gets hot. Thats for my opinion.

And your point is?

I'm trying to help show why clash runs hot on android.

Reported it to supercell and got a template reply....

I know games use more cpu, but on android it's far more proportionately than iOS. The fact that the game works fine if you underclock proves it is wasting a lot of CPU time on useless tasks, ie the heavy interrupt usage.

Yeah, yeah, ok Mystic... "Use an iPad"... Yeah, right :/
Half my clan members use iPads, they all complain about
heavy Battery draining - and my iPad mini gets hot, too :)
Also tried it on my (rooted) Nexus 7.2013, does the same
and worse to the battery, and also experience low FPS, with
very little running in the bckgrnd.. So Mancunianmiss
certainly has a point, it's a real issue, and your reply, Supercell ?
Pretty please ?

OK so here we are in the shop, where the screen is totally static. Clash is barely using any CPU time. ... EXCEPT for the massive amount of interrupt time still burning up the nexus. (See blue part of bar graph overlaid in top right).

The interrupt problem starts when I enter clash and stops when I exit.

The game should NOT be melting my nexus while displaying the shop screen but it is.

I have the same problem with My Nexus 7. Even plugged into the wall with CoC running in the background and the tablet asleep the game still drains my battery; the charger can't keep up. The tablet runs hot. I wish they would fix it so it's not so processor intensive.
