Can you help me understand the original post?
You mention that the game uses more power than the battery can supply?
Are you getting an Android OS message from PowerManager?
The Adreno 220 GPU, which is what the HTC sensation 4g uses, has some issues in general.
The Android GL layer, which is what we use, should be working around them.
I will do some investigation to see if there is anything I can do, and ask the engine team if they have any feedback about that device.

" Can you help me understand the original post?

yes. with a fully charged12 volt battery and a fully charged phone battery in a 2 hr game session my phone battery discharges to about 60%. when i exit the game my phone charges back up as normal.
"Are you getting an Android OS message from
PowerManager?"
i do get a msg from power manager saying i am using more power than the input supplies.
this happened earlier in the upgrade process. i remember a response from you saying you were solving some power issues. shortly after that my problem disappeared. i have had no problem keeping a full phone battery while connected to my 12 volt source and playing for as long as i wanted.
one of the latest two upgrades brought this problem back.

I think that might be a problem with your charger.
Let me do some Googling about that message.
Heroes of Steel RPG lacks the necessary Android permissions to adjust power consumption or wake level on the CPU.
Are you using any other applications? Are you using a new charger, or a portable power source that might be dropping voltage?

atm I'm using a 12 volt agm battery wirh a cigarette. lighter adapter. I plug in a cheap inverter w/ usb. I run off the usb.
no other apps running other than stock ones. g-mail is about it.
Since early on, all works as it should. The new upgrade brought the problem back.
there have been a few times where the battery ran low after extended play. i did a complete restart\reset and battery charge increased. say from initial charge of 45 to 88. It couldnt have charged that fast i dont think.
It doesnt happen with any of your games, but has happened with one other HD grphics game.
Thanks for loking into it.

My first thought was that your USB port can't convert to the optimal voltage and is acting like it was plugged on a PC which is not nearly sufficient for today's hardware. So might be your adapter not converting the right uptimal voltage for the device.

And combined with your other posts about touchscreen not registering taps, is it possible that there is a bad ground? I know from personal experience, if your USB ground connection is bad it can play havoc with both the voltage on the device and the touchscreen.
