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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
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

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?
Edit: never mind

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 have been noticing a battery drain lately and after running a battery monitor I have noticed Maps have been sucking me dry. I believe it may have something to do with Google now location cards telling me how long to work.

I had the same problem crop up recently as well. Quite unfortunate....
I disabled the Traffic cards on Google Now.... seems to help... but what an inconvenient fix...
Check settings/Location settings in Maps. It's more likely latitude than you think.
Make sure there's no tick against 'report location from this device', 'enable location sharing', and 'enable location history'. If these were checked, they're more likely to be your culprit than Google Now
I make sure to check latitude fairly often. All my settings are unchecked.
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.

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.

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

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?
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'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%

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.

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".
