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

Although the new king kernels are a great improvement on my battery, I have noticed my phone isn't going to sleep correctly. I have around 11 hrs of uptime which 9 1/2 of it is awake time. Azlthough I still have a good chunk of battery left, which is impressive, I have not been on the phone that long. I have checked the battery stats info in settings and have a shortcut on my homescreen to running background processes, none of which report anything new. I also checked my accounts and sync to make sure nothing is in a sync loop, Is there an app on the market that monitors stuff like this?? Thanks!

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?

Try freezing picasa uploader. I currently have the gallery frozen and I am using the aosp gallery.

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.
My note was draining battery like crazy even on power saver mode, it would drain like 10% during night on power saver.
I did a factory reset it seemed to fix it for a day and then now it is draining again fast, I have all power consuming things shut off I don't know what else to do.
If there is one more tip for this would be really useful.

That's a good start, 10% on power saver could be a lot on a phone with no apps, but if you have lots of apps its not that much, even on power saver some aps may be accesing the network, if you are connected to a wifi that would eat some battery as well.
If you added no apps and this happens then it could be a bad battery, unlikely but stuff like that happens.

Remember to sign out of apps like Google+, YouTube and Facebook, if you are signed in. If I notice quick battery drain, I'm often still signed in.

Unfortunately, I believe the only way you'd be able to really measure the mAh of your battery would be to compare with another of the same.
Can you post a screenshot of your battery usage?
Might help us narrow it down a little. Sounds like a wake lock but could also be due to terrible cell reception
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Do you know your device and android fairly well? I am guessing its a combination of the above stated bad reception and your os & apps update schedule. There is alot of way to save power by going through and changing your notifications and app updates, as well as various settings on the os (ex. Switching to airplane mode @ night or at least turning off your data) so that your facebook isnt uselessly refreshing at 2:18am to see what club steve is at while your sawing logs.

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.

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".

Try running Wakelock Detector to see what is causing it not to sleep and using Titanium Backup to freeze whatever it is, see if that solves your problem - if it does, either remove it or selectively freeze and unfreeze using TiBu.
I'm guessing at least some of it is your apps automatically syncing.
You really do need to provide a bit more info though. How bout a screenshot of the main battery screen, and tell us the total screen on time.
Better Battery Stats may help you out as well.
