I've been experiencing significant battery drain when idle. Noticed this morning that the tailwind app used 20% of battery between 9-10am. Any suggestions on what I can try?

  Hi Andre,

  This is a bug. Basically the Android OS is reporting to our app that your vehicle bluetooth is still connected when in fact it is not. So because this happens and generally it happens when you're at home, the location tracking remains stuck on at a location where the accuracy is the highest - right at home. This results in excessive battery drain.

  If you reconnect your phone to your vehicle bluetooth again - even for a short time - and then disconnect it should go away because Android should then report to our app that the connection is gone. Most people that experience this bug rarely experience it. This has also been making it hard to fix because reproducing it is nearly impossible. But we are definitely working on a solution for this bug.
