S3 never really deep sleeps. - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I've been seeing some problems with my battery, specifically deep sleep.
It just keeps waking up and never really sleeps. Screen doesn't turn on, but there is some sort of lock. Can anyone help? Thanks.

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.

I'll try the wake lock detector. This is another screen shot from the same battery life. Now down to 6%. Screen tube is around 1 hr 50 minutes. The last post of the photo is cut off but it's maps amd media servers.

No deep sleep no wake lock either solved

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.

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?

Try downloading watchdog and setting it to aggressive. That might help you find something

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.

Need help with battery pls.

Hello. As you can see in this screenshot, I'm having some wake activity when my screen is off and I have all auto sync off. I'm not sure what's causing this. And also my WiFi is on all the time and I have it only awake when plugged in. Can someone help me thx.
As far as I know I came to realization of this problem after doing the free unlocking method. Dunno if that can be the cause.
I'm on wicked v7 w/ ktoonz kernel.

Your network signal looks like the problem. When you have a weak signal, the phone has to compensate, so it cranks up the power to the antenna.

Better Battery Stats

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

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.

How ironic would it be if Better Battery Stats was the cause of worse battery life lol... but anyways I did what Luigi suggested and got this:

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".
