AC Question
For about 5-6 days now, I have been frequently getting a - new - mysterious battery warning on my Samsung Galaxy S4 that I never got before for as long as I owned the device.
The warning can be seen here (in this case, it is displayed within the YouTube app)...

The language of the warning is in English but my device is set up to my own native language which is not English. I usually receive a single battery-warning pop-up that for one doesn't sit in the top of the screen at 15% battery-level and for the other, that warning is always in my own native language (as are all the other pop-up warnings, I am receiving from the phone).
I didn't press any of the three options as I have a suspicion, that this might be some sort of malware that has been installed onto the device via the browser from some obscure site and wants me to download more junk. Whenever I get the warning, it appears mostly when my device is at 25% battery-level but has also been appearing at 19% battery-level some other time.
The first time I got this warning, I downloaded Malwarebytes and scanned the whole device but didn't find anything. I did this several times with the same result. Usually Malwarebytes is of high quality and should be able to figure out if there is any malware or not. Thus I am turning to this forum for some help.
Does anybody know of or recognize this battery warning?
I am not sure if Samsung could be this stupid and just implement some new feature such as this one without informing users of it first, but I still think of this as a possibilty (you never know, it's Samsung).
If anyone has an SG4 with latest updates installed and Android 5.0.1, maybe you could have a look and let me know.
Otherwise, any input is welcome and highly appreciated.
