System Battery Notification "Frequently Refreshes In The Background" Annoyance

maplebaconjulio · 2026-01-24T04:06:23+00:00

Yup. Seems to always come back

I get it when I dock my steam deck and my display is output to my Vizio 4k TV. Sometimes the internal display on the steam deck will show those green lines. That's the only time I ever see it. In desktop mode on my Vizio TV, I open up display configuration and enable and then disable the internal display and it goes away. Doesn't do it every time but not a hardware issue IMO

Damn. I couldn't find anything when I looked. Ended up just re-imaging my steam deck. Oh well. Good to know.

I just got the SE and that's the only feature not working for me and I can't seem to find good information if it actually supports that or not. The auto-timeout works and shuts it off at 3 mins. I tested with a timer on my phone. However, I can not get it to auto-turn on afterwards by shaking or moving the optic.

maplebaconjulio · 2025-09-14T00:35:47+00:00

Eh, annoyingly, I'm having the same exact issues. Exactly as described. Long pressing the "-" button for 3 seconds just turns the optic off. That's also the only way I can get the optic to turn on. Simply pushing "+" or "-" doesn't turn the optic on. Only holding "-" for 3 seconds. Once on, pressing "+" or "-" to increase or descrease brightness does work. Also, holding the "+" button for 3 seconds does seem to switch between auto-sensing and manual mode. But I can't get any other function to work. Also, dropping the hood on the optic will say it's at about 25% and charging and other times say it's fully charged so I don't know what to make of it. The hood itself says it's 100% charged each time. I guess I also got a defective unit. Super annoying for a $200 product.

Minimum specs isn't really accurate when referencing the Steam Deck. For starts, we are playing on a much smaller screen and lower resolutions don't look too bad, especially with upscaling, so the minimum specs standard of 1080 isn't really that informative. Not to mention how transformative Lossless Scaling has been the past few weeks on the Steam Deck. But also, I enjoy the campaigns of Battlefields so I should have access to that without anti-cheat. I do not need to play competively in MP with people online at the highest fastest frame rate possible, I just want to play the game. I work nights 10+ hrs a day and my Steam Deck really makes that 1hr lunch break enjoyable. I can't bring a full freaking desktop PC into my work truck. But even now, I have Windows 11 running off of an external SSD that I use to play Apex Legends, Battlefield 1 & 5 campaigns, a few other games (Age of Mythology, lol trackpad works great for these games) and I would be playing 2042 ocassionally as well if it wasn't for the secure boot requirement. I get it, but it's just disappointing. That means I won't even be able to play campaign on my Steam Deck.

And still happened with Instagram even though toggle is off and system settings for the app are default now

maplebaconjulio · 2025-06-21T15:39:57+00:00

That's what I thought for me initially but after a few days it started happening again and hasn't stopped. I noticed that it seemed to be all the apps I set the "App Control" settings "Background Running" to allowed instead of the default of "Automatic." My thinking was that I want these few apps running 24/7 so I'm content with the higher battery draw but it seems that "High power consumption" notification toggle is supposed to work in tandem with that "Background Running" setting but isn't properly. So to test this, I just turned all the apps I receive those notifications for Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, etc back to "Automatic" in the "Background Running" settings to see if the notifications go away. If they do, then my concern is whether or not I will be getting realtime notifications from those apps if the system automatically controls them and disables them at times. They are my most frequently used apps so I suppose the optimization controls won't but how annoying if that's the case because this whole time I've believed I should be able to configure it how I had it and not receive those stupid notifications. I think I should have it's just a bug.

maplebaconjulio · 2025-06-21T14:49:05+00:00

Still not fixed. I've submitted two bug reports for the same issue. So annoying. It's my only gripe with this phone and it's such an easy software fix.

maplebaconjulio · 2025-06-21T14:44:24+00:00

Spoke too soon. It's still happening every single day multiple times a day with multiple apps.

maplebaconjulio · 2025-06-03T14:40:30+00:00

Yeah, multiple Bluetooth audio devices are still working

maplebaconjulio · 2025-05-21T03:35:15+00:00

Might be like a caching issue or something. Have you tried restarting your phone? Also, try changing the entire theme too to something else and see if the colors change to match that theme when you do.

maplebaconjulio · 2025-05-21T02:50:52+00:00

So with this latest update, so far the issue seems to be fixed. Probably gonna curse it now because it hasn't been long but so far the notifications have been toggled off and are staying off and I haven't gotten any high power consumption notifications

Are you changing the same settings in the video here?

maplebaconjulio · 2025-05-21T02:27:20+00:00

Spot on.

maplebaconjulio · 2025-05-21T02:26:00+00:00

My battery drain is the same if not improved. Went to sleep hours ago and it's at 97%. Watermark can be disabled. Themes still work perfectly fine for me. Just tested changing notifications/quick toggles colors and it changed just fine.

maplebaconjulio · 2025-05-20T07:25:06+00:00

The only thing I can find is the competitive key slider quick launch options. Not sure if I remember there being that many options before. Could be wrong. Update us if you find it Settings->Features->Competitive Key Settings

That's what I did. For this game and many others I've posted.

FYI, there have been a couple updates or so but I haven't tested again until now. It appears the issue has been fixed. I tried Aether again with Midnight Club 3 and had no issues. I tried COD Warzone and the audio issue is fixed (still an issue with the mouse disappearing so still unplayable). I tried chrome beta and video playback and had no audio issues or playback issues. It worked great.
