Emulator uses power in background
Version: 7966294b6 (I got this number from the upper left hand corner of the main menu)
Android Version: 10 Phone: Pixel 3
Problem:
- Citra uses a considerable amount of battery while in the background
Way to reproduce:
- Launch game
- Move to other application on phone
Result:
- Citra continues to run in the background and use lots of power
Expected result:
- Citra suspends and stops draining power.
Analysis of android system bugreport for power issues:

Most likely this is a dupe of https://github.com/citra-emu/citra-android/issues/43
It will be. It's a feature so it won't be killed in the background.
The feature used 70% of my battery in 4 hours.
Perhaps it could be behind an option?
Then close it if you don't play the game. So far citra doesn't have suspend and resume. So when you dont play close the citra.
It's certainly unexpected that an application will drain this much battery in this manner while in the background.
It will be since it wasn't suspended. Just like what I've said Citra doesn't have suspend and resume so keeping it to Bg will keep the cores busy.
Understood. Perhaps a persistent notification mentioning battery drain then? It might be lost in the clutter but this was certain an unexpected outcome battery life wise.

It's there so that citra won't be killed.
Just use no background process in developer Setting
