Went to school and five hours after getting home, it just starts rapidly decreasing. I used it a little bit more at that time, but not to drastically.

How is the cell signal in your house. I know mine is bad and cause the phone to work harder to keep signal or find it.
I usually average around 3-4 bars, but I'm on wifi the whole time.

Do this...
Open running applications by long pressing home button and selecting active applications.
If u see google play music there, then go to settings -> application manager -> google play music -> uninstall all updates.
The newest google play music runs all the time and kills the battery. I found this to be the issue in all android devices i have... and i was able to solve it by uninstalling the latest google play music update.
Try it.

How about screenshots without the volume indicator? You can also try GSam Battery Monitor from the Play Store, to get a little more information on what is eating the battery.

Did you install any app after or before update? Main reason for all drain is from app.

What's your screen on time.
Looked kinda like liteflow might be causing problems?
Cell Standby i think is the one that is coded wrong and is lying, ignore that one.
If you press Android System in settings, battery it will show you the top components being used
Also in dev options look for and check Show CPU Usage. It will show whats using the cpu in the top right of your screen. Watch for what stays in the top few spots in the list.
There may have been something that didnt like the update. Try first uninstalling apps and if that helps reinstall them clean, no data restore. If you continue to have problems backup all data and factory reset. Start clean.
If all else fails use odin to flash the full LH2 fw.
LH2 should be a fairly stable build. Most have no issues and many get outstanding battery life. Im willing to bet its either an app or the way you updated or both.

That's really not THAT bad for a screen on time. I saw your screenshots in the OP, and you were down to 80% in only two hours of being on the battery, but you had the screen on for almost an hour of those two hours; 20%/hr for the first few hours is pretty normal. It's not stellar, but I wouldn't say it's an epic drain that being said, I'm sure you could squeeze some more juice out of it, and prob is just an app causing more drain than usual.
Also when doing a screenshot, it helps to hit the power button first, then the volume, so you don't get the volume pop up every time.

3:30 screen on time it's good no matter how you use your phone. I got 2.45 hours on screen with 1day and 6 hours. I've had issues with liteflow and battery as well. Others say they don't, it seems to depend on how you set the phone and liteflow to work.

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?

Nope. I have full signal on AT&T and I haven't used Google Now in at least a few days.

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.

I have stock gnex on takju, since 4.2.2 I have suffered from lag all over the place, the lag could be fixed by restarting the phone but it would eventually come back.
I have only 300MB of data plan and I noticed that Facebook and facebook messenger where using about 50MB a month on the background without any user interaction and just a couple of days ago I started seeing Facebook app as the second most battery using app just behind screen on, this made me uninstall Facebook and and I instantly saw performance go up all over the place, it was night and day comparison, my phone feels like new and the buttery effect is back.
Now I installed Facebook back just to test and it indeed is the reason for my lag but this time I used greenifyed it and it fixed the lag too.
So there you go, hope this helps

Does matter. I disabled background data (as opposed to removing the app entirely) on Facebook and have noticed substantial speed improvement instantly. The only place you can do it, that I'm aware of, is from the mobile data screen when checking the apps usage.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
There are two places to disable notification from Facebook on mobile.
The first would be to go into the settings by clicking on the 3 point button just right of the multitasking navigation key, then disabling notifications.
Second, by clicking on the top left corner button inside the Facebook app, then clicking on privacy settings --> notifications---> mobile push--> uncheck all
Sometimes I think Facebook deliberately tries to complicate the notification settings so as to keep pushing themselves on our faces!

Thanks for the tip, this actually helped a bit.
I've had luck with disabling auto-rotation for some reason. Caused SystemUI to lag after time. Hopefully it'll be patched in 4.3.
Just some background... Completely stock and not rooted. I was getting 3-4 hours of screen on time with wifi and gps on at all times so I never turned them off like I did on my old phones (unless I was using them). Lately my battery drain has been awful. I haven't downloaded any new apps since this started. Anyone having these outcomes? Thanks!

Turn off Location Services for Google search and that wont run
I downloaded an app called Greenify that seems to be helping a lot. 24 hours is all I've had it running, but, I thought I'd throw out that idea.
I don't have any settings enabled for Google in general... Looking at the "Google settings" in my app drawer.

My wife's S4 has a goofy problem. Sometimes the camera just randomly opens. Primarily when she unlocks her phone, and then sometimes when she hits the back button she says it opens. She is rooted with stock. Nothing special. It's just driving her crazy. She can't think of any apps she has recently updated or installed that would cause it. This has been going on about 3 weeks. Anyone else experience this or have any thoughts...?

What do you mean "move the phone app Icon?"
So you really think it could be virus related? Never thought of that....
I also Googled screen calibration and didn't see and option for that..

Well, it's pretty obvious the advantages of rooting a phone. Titanium Backup being probably one of the biggest reasons in addition to Ad Blocker apps. The ability to theme or mod certain things that maybe you couldn't do otherwise. So, that's why. Yes she does mostly text and call and Facebook but she has a lot of apps and things to restore and rooting it makes it easy. Not that it's any of your business anyways.
Life Lesson: listen first and speak second. There is often a good reason for something. You may never have thought of.
Now, she does have the camera widget which was my first thought, but she says that's not it.... And it opens other times as well.
