Recently I have been having something, I am not sure what drain lots of battery with leaving no trace that I can see for wakelocking... but it IS keeping my phone awake.
Also I don't even use maps and it eats up a ton of battery wth.
Set your wifi to turn off when your screen is off.
WiFi settings > menu button> advanced> keep wifi on > never
That should help some.
Also, what is your screen on time?

Screen on time is pretty low, switched it to keep wifi > only if plugged in.. so at night it saves data.

That should work too. The only other way to figure out what is taking all your battery is to scour Better battery stats for rogue wake locks and such. I un installed all my user apps and am reinstalling as I use them so that I don't have a ton of extra stuff running in the background eating all my battery.

Here are more stats.
Also for note: I am on LTE because I am at school.. some of the building have really bad connection/ 1 or 2 bars LTE.
If I knew how to turn off LTE I probably would...
Also why is maps so high I don't use it.

I find LTE chews up battery. To turn it off should be settings/more settings/ mobile networks/ network mode. And then choose the one under LTE. Saves lots of battery. Also might want to disabled GPS. I looks like it is on according to pics.

Idk if maps has been fixed their problem yet but the latest version of maps has a flaw that keeps it on. Go into the app into and in install the update and see if that helps.

Uninstall the update. The new version keeps phone awake. Uninstall it and uncheck the box in Google play to update maps.

My maps has been doing the same thing. Is horrid. Even disabled all latitude settings, gps etc. Still massive wake ups.
Is there a link to a previous non horrid maps app?

In your app drawer tap and hold maps then drag it down to info. There should be an option to Uninstall update.

That will drain battery quicker; WiFi is more energy efficient than lte.

Only fix is to downgrade. Or wait for Google to patch with an update.

Had the latest gmaps I just downgraded to factory and I will see how it goes.

I uninstalled the gmaps updates and the resaults are good. I didn't thing the change would be this big haha. Google needs to fix the issue.
Edit: By the way is there a way to fix cell standby?

FYI, for the 3rd update in a row Sprint enables Connection Optimizer by default. It is a HUGE battery drainer in the past, and maybe even more so in the JB release. Remember to go into..
Settings --> More Settings --> Mobile Networks --> Connections Optimizer
and uncheck.

But does it stick as disabled when you disable it? I had that problem in LI3 and I ended up freezing it with Titanium Backup.
You have to go to /system/app and delete or rename Connection Manager.apk.
Even if you disable it. It will be turned on again.
That's the Sprint "don't use your unlimited data"
That sh** is all day long scanning for Wi-Fi.

It is causing hell on my phone today. Keeps flipping out and flapping my WiFi connection. Just checked it in Better Battery Stats...yep, this is the third worst offender behind screen and media services. And Sprint pushed out a buggy update that won't let people turn it off...
With this and their incredibly stupid removal of Internet Calling, I can see LJ7 being pulled or a fast update being pushed out ASAP.

I find this quite interesting... I get great life leaving it on... I have disabled many other things and restricted my background data but not this... interesting indeed
Oh here is a picture of what I get with it on... ill do some tests in the coming days to verify which setting is better

There is no wifi at all where I work so I shut it off to save power. The dang thing constantly turns itself back on throughout the day.
Does anyone have the same problem or a solution?

My Galaxy S III had a really big battery drop. Why is Gallery, Chrome, and Polaris Viewer taking up a combined 10-20% of the battery? How do I fix it?
Thanks!
P.S. I am completely stock and unrooted.

Do you leave them on (don't close them after use)?
Try closing them in running apps if you already exit them properly.

I always close all the apps I've finished using it (by holding down the home button), and it seems now that those three are always open.

Like I mentioned, go in settings -> manage application -> running applications and manually stop them.
If they restart on their own, then something is triggering them (most likely a app or setting).
I went into the Settings, and Android is showing that while they are using up battery, they are not running. And also, over the past hour, Android OS is using up 18% and Android system is using up 16%. Aren't they supposed to use up like 4% each?

Simply being connected to Google Now can be a big battery drain. Definatly something to look into.
Do you have auto sync on? the more things you sync, the more battery drain you get.
OK. And the only app I have enabled to sync is the email client, which only syncs once an hour.

First off, a thousand apologies if there is already a post or thread regarding my issue. I could not find it.
After using ROM toolbox pro to uninstall sprint connections optimiser my WiFi still turns on pretty frequently by itself. Is there some other app I need to freeze or uninstall to keep this from happening?
I've looked in WiFi settings for an option to disable "notify me when networks are available" but couldn't find that.

You know, I forgot I uninstalled Connections Optimizer and my WiFi still turns on. I have yet to figure out what is causing it. But it is a pain in the arse to constantly turn it off. Let me do some research..
EDIT: Are you on JB or ICS?

And I spoke too soon. With WiFi turned on I see an option for network notification. I set it to do not notify me of networks. We will see if that helps.

I was about to post a question regarding this. Good to know I wasn't the only one having this issue. I just got my Optimus G and couldn't figure out why my WiFi would randomly turn on. I changed the network notification setting and will test that out.
Oh btw, I'm running completely stock and not rooted Android 4.1.2
Edit: didn't work... Almost seems like when I get a multimedia message my wifi turns on
Yep seems like when I get a new picture message my wifi turns on... Anyone have this issue?\
Edit: Ok read about how to disable the sprint connection optimizer. unchecked the box and let's see if that helps.
Edit 2: that did it... Thanks!
So I always had an issue with battery life and people probably already know this but underclocking really helps. I under clocked from 1500 down to 1200 and have seen significant improvement. This may not be the best test as I was home all day so I was connected to wifi the whole time but I still think this is pretty good. Running aokp awesome audio 4.2

I never did that but i use Rom Toolbox/app manager and freeze Maps (i hardly use it and i noticed it uses alot more battery).
But the best way to conserve the battery is to just turn off the phone and don't use it at all. :
