I've stayed away from waydroid so I can't speak to this. Though, you can think of the phone as a Linux desktop in your pocket. Some programs/apps do not scale to a phone screen and battery life is used like a laptop so the phone can die quickly depending on what you're running.

Waydroid is no different. Give it a try on your PC to get a general idea. Notifications, if working, will cause the phone to die quickly. Android pushes everything through their services.

Interesting. I have waydroid on my laptop and it has been pretty smooth. What's the deal with the battery drain? On my laptop battery life is comparable between Linux and windows. Is it driver issue?
