How is everyone using spare parts to see what app is not letting the phone sleep? Currently my up time and awake time are the same. Need to find out why phone is not sleeping.
Look under partial wake usage.

Does keeping wi-fi on all the time, while setting it's sleep policy to never affect battery?
I forgot to turn wi-fi off last night, and noticed this morning that my phone didn't sleep since wi-fi was turned on. Is this normal?

your phone not sleeping and wifi being sleep never are two separate things. i have turned that on weeks ago and my phone still sleeps, you might have something else that is keeping your phone awake - app, restored add TB, kernel, rom

Well, when I turn off my wi-fi my phone sleeps... So if this isn't normal, then maybe it's an issue with the Rom I'm using. Even though the phone shows 100% awake time, my battery life isn't an issue.

I unplugged my phone before I went to bed to see how much it would drain overnight. I only slept for 5.5 hours. My phone had lost 16%. Is this normal?
I was connected to wifi, only thing I had syncing was Facebook for every 4 hours.
I forgot to screenshot the cpu times, but it spent a majority of the time in deep sleep and 384.
Also, what do the red bars mean in BBS?

Try disabling WiFi as well? Im guessing you dont need Facebook to sync while you sleep, just refresh it when you wake up. Noticed you clock down to 384mhz while screen off. odd how still took away a lot for only 5 hours.

I dont think clocking down helps that much. it doesnt stop the same processes from running, and it takes longer to run them with the lower processing power, especially when the phone has all night to do it /
According to your screenshots you have posted, that kakao talk app is in wakelock, keeping the phone from actually sleeping. Although the other stats seem to contradict this i would be willing to bet this is your problem. I would either disable it from syncing in the app, freezing the process, or somehow prevent it from running. I would put money on it improving battery life drastically. I cant be sure of this as i dont use betterbatterystats but i would suspect the red bar is the time spent in wakelock, while the cpu is supposedly in deep sleep.
That doesn't look normal. I get less than 1%/hour overnight. Though I don't use Facebook or Facebook app. I do have 2 Gmail accounts on auto sync. Weather widget sync/hour. Field trip and Google+ sync enabled and wifi is always on when I'm at home.

Definitely not normal... I get about the same 1% an hour overnight.
I'll give it a shot tonight. Thanks.

I had battery drain issues, download juice defender, it basically turns off 4g when the screen is off and allows email retrievable based on a set schedule...my phone lasts twice as long now

Is this the kind of battery life I should be expecting? Completely stock and running Juice Defender. Thanks!
It looks like you need to apply the "Cell standby" fix. That won't help your actual battery life, but it will help your reporting.
Everyone is going to be different depending on usage and signal strength.
Your battery usage isn't that bad, but when I was running ICS I would be able to get over 3 hours screen time and someimtes 20-24 hours total life.
It really varies based on your data usage. To extend battery life, then turn off unused data connections. Adjust your sync frequency, and limit push notifications. Network data coverage also impacts battery life, so in areas that have bad coverage, your phone is going to be searching for signal more often.
Use CPUspy as well and see if you phone is going to Deep Sleep when it should.
Here's a screen shot of CPUspy. Hope this helps!

Your phone is not going into Deep Sleep as it should which is causing the higher drain you're seeing. Post what is using battery stats. Also, try to reboot. You said you were stock, so it could just be a random program that didn't close and is running in the background.
I would check your sync settings too.

Should I post a screen shot of partial wakelocks or kernel wakelocks? Thanks!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yes please do.
You have a rogue app that is prevention your cpu from sleeping.
What gives?

If your screen on time is not around 4+ hours then you most probably are not getting good battery life.
Post a screen shot from betterbattery with Processes and Since Unplugged as your parameters. Wakelocks are not the problem. You have an app constantly running that will prevent DS, so a Wakelock is irrelavent at this point.

I did a restart recently so this is all I could get. Let me know if this helps or if you want one since unplugged.

Ya no dice on that one. Just charge it up and run it for a few hours and then pull a screenie of Processes and Since Unplugged. I wanna set what it shows for your Android System as that is your main culprit.
Some things right off that I see with this last screen shot. First, I don't think that your JuiceDefender is working properly. Usually there is a Red, Green or Blue dot in the upper right corner of the shield. This is an indicator of your radio state. Second, that Revamped Nexus S live wallpaper will munch your battery. It's cool and I own it too, but it does cause some issues with battery, not neccessarily wakelocks though. Third, that Battery Monitoring widget is eating it up too. Not sure if the icon on the top-left is for that or not, but if it is in the notification area, then it is polling and is not caching causing drainage.
Those are just what I am seeing from this last screen. I am more interested in the Processes/Since Unplugged screen shot. Charge up and go get some lunch/dinner (depending on where you are) and come back later on after and post it up.

When I use my cell all the day NOT on WIFI, I get around 3 hours screen time (auto brightness - brightness medium most of time)
When I use my cell all the day with WIFI, I get 5 hours screen time (auto brightness - brightness medium most of time)
do I have a problem with my battery ?

Mobile Data uses more power than WiFi. Your stats are pretty good.

First night device sleep not so good on AT&T version .
7 Hour of sleep lost 1% an hour , with Sprint version 2%-3% is used in that time frame.
I'm going install app to monitor tonight sleep session see whats eating energy.

Exactly the case with mine. However I have every sensor and sync option checked (if that matters). But it did drop 6% in 6 hours.

Same here...but yesterdays battery life was remarkable...over 7 hours on with over 4 hours of screen on time at full brightness.
I'm thinking Quick Glace setting enabled is the drainer.
Feature is much more sensitive on ATTs.
hmm maybe higher sleep CPU level on ATTs
Sprint GN2 has whats called wakeup lag. When you wake device display has good 2-3 sec delay before turning on.

During 7 hours of sleep I got 7 emails
The one gps hit is no big deal but 3 of 7 marked in shot are much to active.
Same thing for me. Went to bed at midnight with 92%. woke up at 8am with 84%. 1% per hour. Hopefully someone can figure out how to slow this down. Otherwise, battery life seems fantastic
Wifi remains strong no cut outs during gmail sync so we can rule 0ut connection issue.
It appears Google sync is to busy on 3 marks shown in shot so I'm going to disable everything except Gmail & contacts in sync setting.
Hopefully that will be fix
Drained 2% in 9 hours last night with 2 push email accounts (on exchange and one gmail) and gtalk connected. LTE signal at about -90 and WiFi connected.
Seems reasonable to me.

yeah that's how it should be.
As my screen shot shows there is 7 deep sleep wakeup points.
7 emails received , 7 wakeups shown with 3 of them being way to active.
Now the question is why.
Maybe a 3rd party app kicks in gear when email received.
Only thing I have on board is Fancy Widget with auto update disabled during that time frame

I'm getting similiar to this. Tested 2 nights now and in 10 hours I'm dropping 2%. Multiple emails syncing, weather, Google Talk connected. Great usage battery life too.
In the "screen on" screenshot, live wallpaper active, 4 hours of Bluetooth music, brightness 80%, Web browsing and gaming heavy with 40ish minutes of phone calls and 30 minutes of GPS navigation. I hit 6h screen on time and 24h 32min unplugged when the battery finally died. That is stellar.
Also I'm in a LTE area, usually 4 bars signal strength but throughout my day I do leave LTE coverage multiple times. (I travel a lot)

Not sure if this applies to anyone else but last night I removed several Bloat apps before going to bed. I did NOT restart the phone. From doing this caused my phone to not sleep the whole night. Woke up this morning and restarted the phone. Phone went right to sleep after doing this.

I'm getting 1% drain a hour which is better then my note 1s 3%. Anyone using juice defender? Seems like battery life will be so much better then my note 1, I haven't both red to install it yet

Ok second day of sleep testing.
This time my toy is running Modded N7105ZHALJ4 MultiWindow rom with no 3rd party app installed.
Google sync active with 1 email received during sleep period.
Accuweather widget at 3 hour update interval .
Wifi enabled.
I'm still getting the 1% drain but this time only 1 email was received during 7hr sleep period so I can rule that out as being cause.
What the heck is waking up device lol
The AWAKE activity shown in screen shot should not be happening.
Edit
That small period showing Screen On I checked email device was awake maybe 90 seconds.
But from that point as you can see lots of activity happening that shouldnt
Maybe the small awake times are to check email, check weather, update Google now, Facebook, basically anything that is a widget or has check intervals for updates.

nah only thing running in background is Gmail & accuweather.
Gmail remains silent lights up sleep on push , seeing only one email was received that can be ruled out as problem.
Accuweather at 3 hour update interval so we can rule that out as well.
On Sprint version I had all kinds of background apps running during sleep , 15 emails receved and would lose 3-4% in 9 hour sleep session so somethings not playing well on ATT version.
I stopped by ATT store today ran across GN2 owner thats having same sleep issue like many in this thread
Turn on airplane mode and test it. 3g/H+ will cause it.

What's keeping my device awake? What wakes it up to begin with?
BetterBatteryStats.
Search for it on XDA and you'll find that XDA members get a free version. While it won't give you better battery usage, it will tell you WHY your battery is being used by something else.

Better battery stats is a great program, highly recommended from me too.
Not sure what the sleep problem is. I've maintained the 2ish% drop in 10ish hours of sleep. Great battery life still. Do you have NFC or Sbeam turned on? They have been known to sometimes cause battery drain and not show up as "awake" when looking at battery stats. Try toggling them in settings even if they are off and see if that makes any impact.
