please forgive the brevity, as I'm typing this rather quickly.

Noticing the phone's battery not charging as quickly and draining faster. Would normally just get the extended battery upgrade now, but still hoping i can get a break for an lg v20 to upgrade to. In the meantime...

With gsam, it has some peculiar eportings as i look at the charts, where it shows usage breakdowns and stuff, i noticed that it was strange how it was reporting the screen being on, even though in those situations, i had turned off the screen with the power button, plugged in the charging cable, and dropped it in the nearest storage compartment, where it should have stayed off to charge quickly.

Unfortunately, gsam doesn't really show anything for keep awake that might be tripping it. But it happens a lot and seems to tie in to when I've had it plugged in to charge for an hour or more and i see maybe a 2% increase in charge. Makes no sense to me.
