Just wondering if this is normal. I figured that Screen would always be at the top. Also, I don't know what Cell Standby is either, but it seems to use a lot as well.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Why is Chrome always listed at the top of my battery usage?

It's just a guess but I'd say it's because it's using the most battery... If you click on the Chrome entry in that table it'll give you the details about its usage. I don't use Chrome so I've no idea about its usage. It might be running in the background and if you leave it pointed at a site that updates, say, adverts that would explain it. The stock browser certainly used to do this and as a consequence I always make sure I kill all the tabs I'm finished with.

Well, the details screen also has me confused. It lists two times: one is something like total CPU time, and the other is foreground time.
The problem is that while the total time might say one hour, the foreground time will say something like 15 minutes. So I don't know if that means 45 minutes are being used in the background.
I just unplugged my phone so I can't get a screenshot yet, but I'll try to post one later.

cpu = total processing time
foreground = total time the app is actively open on the screen and "in use.

Ooo, yeah, this has happened to me with chrome mobile. They always seem hidden when closing the browser. I try to go incognito with chrome to avoid that.

I do tend to close everything when I'm done using the phone, so I don't know if it's that.
And besides, isn't the battery optimization feature supposed to prevent apps from running in the background? Or is that just for when the phone is locked?
