Convergence: battery is constantly discharging/charging
#5
The reason that the phone discharges slowly, even though a charger is connected is because the modem and the WiFi chip is connected directly to the battery. The two items can therefore never be powered directly from USB charger.
For same reason, if you have discharged your battery to 0% (<=3.0V), and you power up the phone from USB, you will most like see, that WiFi and Modem is not working on the phone. Battery has to be charged to over 3.5V, before they will work again.

This has btw nothing to do with the dock - the phone does the same with power connected directly to the USB port.
