i am running at the moment CM7 nightly #5 and since i have been using CM7, i have noticed that the battery usage only shows Cell Standby, Phone Idle and Display... maybe it will show browser if i am using it, but it never ever shows android system taking up any battery. I find this really weird. Is anyone else experiancing this? or now how to see what is actually using the battery?
I am on CM7 nightly #5 as well and I just checked my battery usage, I am seeing Android System at the top of the list.

does it never show up for you? because i never ever see it on my battery usage whatso ever
U guys using google voice? Thats what was eating it up for me. When your % starts getting up there check your running processes, thats usually a good indicator. GV, on my phone, was using like 25megs of ram constantly until i uninstalled it. After that my android system lost a good 20% battery usage. Just a thought.
Edit: i gained about three extra hours of battery life as a result.

I don't even have google voice installed. I'm more just wondering why the android system does not register under the battery usage for me...

Same here on cm7 rc1, sucks cause I dont know if its accurate or not now.
Never shows up... however I have wifi calling turned on all the time which turns off the radio. Not sure if its working correctly though, because under cell standby it says time without signal: 100%

So since I've had wake locks with Google maps I thought I'd disable the app when I'm not using it, also I disabled all GPS services. And I've been getting 4hours screen on time, my previous best was around 2 and a half.
If you don't use maps much and need the extra battery life , then give it a go.

agreed maps app is the real battery problem.

issue confirmed with latest version of maps...no wakelocks anymore since i deleted maps
I'd love to get 4 hours screen on time with maps enabled , that would be happy days . But I'm a moderate users so 2 and a bit has been fine.

probably through titanium backup. you can uninstall it or freeze it
I used Autorun Manger
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rs.autorun
Unticked all the autostarts in Googlemaps and have no problems with wakelocks. Plus the beauty is I can start Googlemaps as normal.

Trying this now. I have been trying to crack the 2 and half hour screen on time for a while now. And even to get there was rare.
I can't stop the TrafficAppWidget Update even though I'm not using the widget anymore.
Any solutions?

It has two "Map" apps running, the location service and the traffic widget.
im pretty sure its Lattitude thats causing Maps to stay on....maybe just disabling that will work also?

Once you start it manually, do you need to kill the task again or the problem will start or is the problem solely down to services starting?
Update: some screen shots of my battery stats with maps disabled for the day. Well I had to use maps for about 2 hours but then I disabled again. Also brightness us about 40% the rest you can see on stats.

Latitude does have an option for disabling background location updates. I've had that disabled since day one and have never seen wakelocks nor excessive battery drain associated with Maps. Am I doing something wrong to not be having this issue? :-D
Got the same issue, battery drained too fast.
Yeah I've been noticing quite a lot of wakelocks with the latest google maps. The version before I updated didn't seem to have this problem (or it was much less of a problem). I'd rather not have to disable the whole application though.
(Not using latitude either, I know that drains battery but it's actually doing something to show for it)

This.
You dont need to freeze or uninstall maps. Just log out of latitude.
You have to turn of all GPS services to stop maps from running in the background

I'm running the latest version of Ultimatum by howtomen. I just got my gorilla gadgets extended battery and I've gotten over 40 hours. The phone has been through two nights and has only been in deep sleep for 4.5 hours. I'm showing a power service manager wake lock and can't find anything about it in search. Any help would be appreciated.

What are you using to examine wake locks?
PowerManagerService corresponds to anything and everything that generates a partial wakelock, so if you have a list of those, that's where to look.

I am seeing the same thing. That process kept my phone "awake" for two hours while the screen was off. Which app/process did you freeze to fix this? Was is "PicasaUploader" ?
If you just disable Picasa album syncing in your Settings|Accounts|Google|<account_name> will that have the same affect?

I actually started with disabling the Picasa synchronization on my Google accounts and that seems to have stopped the problem. I think the issue actually came from the fact that one of the accounts I have got stuck while trying to synchronize with Picasa. Since its account that I don't actually upload photos to, it didn't matter anyway if I disabled the synchronization.
Now my phone shows that it goes into a deep sleep for more than 2/3 of the time that the screen is off. That is a lot better than being awake 100 percent of the time.

I used Settings|Accounts|Google|<account_name> . I actually disabled uploading from all 5 google accounts I have on my phone because I use dropbox to synch my photos back to my pc.
See attached screenshot. And yes, it was -2 F this morning when I took the screenshot.....
turn off picasa
blog.gadgethelpline.com/remove-unwanted-picasa-albums-samsung-galaxy-siii/
picasa sync was using 87% of my battery, followed these instructions to turn it off and remove photos.
I deleted mine with TB just to be safe.
I'm kind of confused on how to read certain functions in better battery stats. I was using battery calibration but was told in certain posts it's no good. I'm confused on how to read the kernel and partial wakelocks. I've read the "how to" section but still confused on how to actually read it.

Post your results and I am sure someone could offer help. I used better battery stats for a while. It is a good program .
Apps listed under partial wake locks are waking up the phone to do stuff while the screen is off. The less partial wakes the better idle battery life you will get. So for example if you stream music for 30 minutes you will see your music app listed there as partial wake locking your phone for around 30m.
If you use Google now, there will always be several maps related items. Basically look for things near the top of the list and then if those items have options to reduce their sync time then that will help.
As an example, when I install facebook, it showed up near the top after several hours. I went into the app settings and changed the refresh time from 15min to 4 hours. Now facebook is low on the list and causes much fewer wake locks. Make sense?

Here is mine today. 6 hours off the charger, overnight, while I was asleep stock kernel. Wifi on.
Here's mine from yesterday with the LeanKernel-JellyBean-imoseyon-droidroidz-USC_v2.1 Kernel, so you can see, the kernel is not the issue
The custom kernel actually shows faster battery drain than the stock kernel 12.4% per hour vs 9.7%
Ok I see

Yeah, I ran the custom for 2 days, and had really bad results, even tweaking voltage, etc, then went back to stock last night.
That Wake-Lock is Google Services. But what can I kill in there??
Network Location
Google BookmarksSync
Google Contacts Sync
Google Services Framework
Google Play Services
Google Account manager
Is all listed under Google Services. I guess I can just turn WiFi off at night, but I never had that Problem on the Evo.
I can also turn Sync off. That might help a lot

Partial locks just refer to temporary wake locks. Apps will create partial locks while they are in use. For example, if you're streaming video, then your media player app will create a wake lock to keep your phone "awake" until you pause the video (usually) or until you exit the application

In maps, you can go into settings/locations, and uncheck all that stuff that lets google monitor your location while you're phone sleeps, this resolved my maps wake lock issue, not sure about the SMS one.

Tap the little orange icon to the right. It will take you to the browser and explain what power manager is. It's likely due to push notifications. You can check what's doing this under partial wakelocks.

Do you have active monitoring enabled in better battery stats? When I had that turned on, that was giving me the most wakelocks due to power manager service.

How ironic would it be if Better Battery Stats was the cause of worse battery life lol... but anyways I did what Luigi suggested and got this:

BBS doesn't consume much battery at all compared to others, unless of course if you have the app actively monitoring but the option should be Unchecked by default.
Also, as the page to the link states, in order to resolve any of the wakelocks causing the PowerManagerService issue you must "Use "Partial Wakelocks" to drill down the applications / services causing wakelocks".
