Help device stays awake even when screen is off

[Devendra95]

Hi, I have a T-Mobile galaxy s5 with android 4.4.2. Today I unplugged it from the charger with WiFi off location off, pretty much everything off and left it in my pocket. When I checked the battery stats it went down by 4% by doing absolutely nothing. The screen was off but there was multiple intervals of the device being awake. I have a weather widget that came with the s5 which is set to only update when I open it. Other than that I have 4g off, no auto sync, no WiFi etc. Here is a picture

Off course it will stay awake, the OS and certain apps are still clearly active as they show in the screenshot. The only way to terminate those is to switch the phone off! Switching off things like Wi-Fi will reduce battery drain but not totally eliminate it.

But I've never had thos problem before with my old phone (LG motion)

Didn't that phone have a deep sleep mode?

I'm not sure but I never expected this from the galaxy

I did a Google foryour old phone and it did have this mode. Anyway, what you are experiencing is normal as the OS and certain apps are active even when sleeping so ret assured it's normal. As phones become more sophisticated they use more power which is probably why it's more noticeable.

I've been reading about how 4.2.2 has a lot of bugs and the s5 from T-Mobile hasn't received the 4.4.4 update yet which fixes most of them. Could this be part of the issue?

It's not a bug. The system awake simply means that at that time a process was running. For example, if the sync time for your email app came, the app will run, will detect that there is no internet, then sleep again.
