I have the Jellybean Flash player and it works great. The problem is that the phone's sleep settings are still active when playing the videos I want to watch. Is there an app that blocks the sleep timer in certain apps?

I've done some looking around in this too but I think since flash is not supported in JB, they didn't build in provisions to keep the screen awake while using flash content. Don't think there is a way around it

There is no "Stay Awake" function for the stock android browser which I am guessing you are using. However, depending if the ROM you are using has this available (most likely will) a workaround that I use is by going to:
phone settings/display and there should be an option for "Sleep"
... from there you just have to set the phone to sleep after a certain amount of minutes (30 minutes being the max). The only downside is that you have to turn off the screen of the phone manually each time.
Whoops never mind wrong thing.

If its flash TVs or movies.....making it full screen keeps phone awake. If its playing on web page phone will sleep.
Not sure if that helps.
I'm running CMX so I don't have a app specific setting. I have set it to 30 minutes. The person above me, you are wrong. Like the other guy said, I looked into it and found that the modified flash app doesn't have that sleep timer provision so it gos to sleep even in full screen. Sometimes I actually do leave the phone on for 30 minutes and the browser closes. Its really annoying when watching a show like Doctor Who on Amazon Prime. Hopefully, amazon can make an android app for Prime members.

Define "a while". I had it open for two or three days straight before I closed it myself. It remained logged in the entire time and it used next to zero wake locks according to betterbatterystats.
Are you using a custom rom?
Check in Skype your settings. Menu-> settings-> go offline
Set to Never

It seems every time my screen goes off it disconnects, I'm using apex from with Franco's kernel. Go offline is set to never and is set to auto sign in. Every time I open skype it reconnects

Maybe it's not fully compatible with that kernel. Is there a way to find out if other Franco Kernel users are having the same problem? It could be one of those battery saving features that kills Skype when the screen is off.
My phone doesn't deep sleep but I don't have any wake locks. I'm on aokp m3. It'll deep sleep for usually the first half hour of the night but then sits at my min all night and until I restart it. It never deep sleeps more than 2 hours even if its on multiple days

No, it's killing your phone!
Have you checked which app is draining your battery?
Have you tried other ROM's?
Factory reset?
Wiped Cache?
I've wiped cache. Done several resets while flashing rom updates. None of my apps are really using battery. I honestly can't find a single app keeping my phone going I'm almost ready to start blaming widget locker. Tonight ill try disabling it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I would format, and reflash, remove any gaps you might not be using, and not install a single app except for a cpu monitoring app to check on the deep sleep.
Let it sit like that overnight, and in the am check your results. If you see a difference and are getting deep sleep, then its obviously a rogue app thats keeping it awake. After that start adding one app at a time, until you find the "bad app"
I know it takes time and is boring, but thats the beauty of Android and open source...
What kernel are you using?
I'm using Franco's kernel #16.1 right now. My phone has been like this basically since day one but its bothering me lately.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Really can't find out what's doing this. I'm not getting any deep sleep now. I've gotten rid of any app I can think of. Can anyone think of any "bad apps" off the top of their head?

It does work but I cant stand the interface. Why can't FB being the billion dollar company that it is, develop an app that works correctly?
I use the Facebook app and every once in a while I'll see it ducking up my battery and I just force stop it once you re open it seems not to take so much battery

I have the FB app and it didn't drain my battery. I'm still getting 3-4 hrs of screen time. Just set the refresh interval to never in the FB settings and also turn off the messenger location. Turn off notifications that you dont need either. Also, always press the back button when exiting apps, not the home button

I've been getting some direct track wake locks from Apollo and from games like plant versus zombies and maple story live. I'm not sure why this happens and it drains my battery because my phone is not sleeping. I am on tasks aokp rom and I use kt kernel. Thanks!

As long as its not keeping your phone from sleeping when you are not listening to music don't worry about it. I get it too from Pandora.
If it is preventing your phone from sleep when it should be sleeping, make sure you close the apps when you are done with the back button.
Hmm I do that yet it still continues to run in the background.

Check the settings in your apps and try to disable background processes. You can also use the kill app back button if you have it available.
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.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
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
