Continuous activity on battery

[cgentil]

Hi,

I just got sometimes continuous activity on battery info:

It doesn't happen all time. Just sometimes, what can it be?

Something is keeping the phone awake. What apps are shown in the Battery stats as using the most battery?

 

[cgentil]

Android System
Screen
Android OS
Facebook
Inactive Device
Chrome

What are the percentages?

 

[cgentil]

1%-3%.

It normally occurs when I disconnect the S4 from charger dock... Could be the battery not good?

 

[B. Diddy]

Those percentages aren't particularly unusual. A bad battery wouldn't cause the phone to remain awake. It could be some app that's forcing an inappropriate wakelock. Does this persist after a reboot?

 

[cgentil]

Yes, sometimes. And it's a pain to know which app is, because sometimes it appears continuous and sometimes normal.

 

[B. Diddy]

Use GSam Battery Monitor -- it might tell you what's causing wakelocks without having to root the phone.

 

[cgentil]

It can't be a bug? Because in GSam I don't see anything wrong.

Does it impact your battery life significantly? How does your battery life compare when that doesn't show up?

 

[cgentil]

Got it.

If I charge my S4 on the dock after charge it show continuous act.

If I charge via charger it doesn't happen.

Quite strange or not?

Dock is this:

Is it the battery it came with? My old HTC One M7 when I used a bigger battery it would do the same thing it would show 100% charged and then when I took it off it would rapidly fall down. If you keep it on that charger for extra time when it's 100%, does it still do it?

 

[B. Diddy]

If I charge my S4 on the dock after charge it show continuous act.

When it's docked, are there any special features compared to when it's on a regular charger? If there's a dock mode, maybe that's inappropriately staying active after you remove it.
