For anyone watching this thread, the android app was updated April 10th, I believe. Release notes indicate "Reduced battery usage in Auto-sleep mode". My Initial, very limited testing seems to indicate that battery life is improved. Huzzah.

Also: I turned off Automatic Sync for the folder. But after a short while, if I return to the app, that checkbox is once again enabled. So it would seem… I can't turn autosync off.

Same issue with battery drain. Samsung Galaxy S2, Android 4.0.4, I'm not a heavy user (not even on a data plan at the moment), so my battery usually lasts easily a day, and maybe two. Now it's barely getting through one day. Looking at Battery settings, BitTorrent Sync used 79% of last period (charge cycle?); far beyond the next contender, Google Maps at 11%. 8.5h on that charge. Looking at details for BitTorrent Sync, v1.1.27: CPU total is 3h 47m, data sent 810bytes, received 1.49KB. I only started testing this app, so I'm syncing only one folder containing one very short text file. I had automatic sync on; I'll turn it off for a while and see if battery life improves. EDIT: I'll add one additional note. The folder on the phone that BTSync is watching is on an external SD card.
