mindstormsguy Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I just did a trip in my e-tron using ABRP, and I was really impressed with how well the vehicle battery drain was forecasted, despite the fact there's no data connection available for the e-tron. We corrected the battery % once on the first leg, and then manually entered the % after each charge, and the rest of the time it stayed within 1% for an entire leg. Unfortunately, the app kills the battery, and makes my iPhone extremely warm. I reinstalled the app, and it seems to be exactly the same. All it takes is a few minutes in APRP (planning a trip or whatever), for the phone to get really warm. Does this happen to anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richt Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 We just did a 16 hour trips and within the first hour, iOS ABRP got so hot the phone actually thermally shutdown. I found that we had to remove the case. Also FYI with “low power” USB it definitely drains the battery. Good thing we have an Pro Max! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel-ABRP Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Could you please compare it to other navigation apps on such a drive and let us know the result? It's a mix of using GPS, calculating stuff and rendering graphics that makes the phone get warm. My assumption is that it also heats up nicely on other navigation apps. Especially in sunny weather conditions. Try to put the phone so its hidden from the sun. Even if it's nice and comfy due to air conditioning, the phone will get hot if the sun shines on it.

Bill N Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I’ve also had problems with iPhone 12 getting very warm and not charging effectively when using ABRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timvdw Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Sam here on a iphone 10max. The app is also very slow. Work fine last year when I used it first. I switched from apple maps to abrp maps and that seemed to solve it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill N Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I switched to ABRP maps and the whole app runs so much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I compared it with Apple Maps and with Google Maps. None of them becomes so hot, that the iPhone is actually throttling the CPU power. That's also the reason why it becomes very slow. I have an iPhone 12 Pro, tried it with iOS 14.x and 15.1, ABRP 4.0.55 (now I updated to 4.1.0)... Because I like the extra functionality I remove all cases and put the iPhone next to the fan. My wife has an old iPhone 6s also with 14.x (now 15.1) Apple Maps and google maps are working perfectly there. But when we start ABRP it is not just becoming slow its just not working.

Bill N Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Try changing map setting to ABRP maps. I found that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
