Vevo App Kills My Battery

[lexluthor]

Ever since an update a couple of months back, Vevo is killing my battery.

I have a Chromecast device and after using Vevo, I show constant communication between Vevo and my Chromecast device (using network log app).

My phone will not sleep after using Vevo (confirmed via better battery stats). As soon as I uninstall Vevo, my phone sleeps again.

I've emailed Vevo a few times and they have not responded. They've also issued a few updates since I noticed the issue and those updates have not fixed the problem.

Can anyone with a chromecast confirm this same behavior as well? I have a Verizon GS3, running stock (4.1.2) /rooted.

Is anyone able to at least confirm the same experience?

I don't have a chromecast, but is this the same Vevo that runs the music video channels?

Yes, correct.
