No, it’s definitely not a hardware issue. Ingress is essentially the same game without the Pokémon reskin, and I can play Ingress all day on my Nexus 5X. On the other hand, Pokémon GO drains my battery within a few hours and causes my phone to heat up like there’s no tomorrow.

We’ve been saying this since the early stages of the Field Test period.

Exactly. I mean... that’s precisely why we get security updates for Windows, Android, iOS, OS X, Adobe programs, Java, Chrome, Firefox, etc., etc., etc....
