help lowering phone wakes? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

so after getting a custom rom and kernel and making some other changes, im getting pretty good battery life from my phone, well in comparison to what it used to be, but ithink it can still be better. especially considering how often apps keep waking my phone up. using GSAM battery stats, i am seeing the number of times apps woke up my phone today...
so many apps in the double digits!!
google services is the biggest offender, and when i click on it, it says that Google Contacts Sync is what causes it..should i uncheck contacts from the sync options in the settings menu? if i do that, it will also not save any changes i make to numbers from my phone though right?
and then next is go sms pro..which i have no idea keeps waking up, i only got 1 text today...
it seems ironic that juicedefender is in the top 3 since its supposed to be saving me battery..is it actually useful and am i just overthinking it?
then some of the other ones lik tv show favs and tweetdeck, i dont know what they are doing when they wake either. especially since in the tweetdeck settings i have it set to only update when i manually refresh...
any ideas or solutions to bring those numbers down?

Any ideas?

[Q] Dialer Process

I use my Nexus kinda like a glorified pmp for now (I don't have a sim card), so it runs in airplane mode 24/7 with wifi active. Why would the dialer process be so high when looking at the battery stats?

EDIT: I found something that said it could be the "turn to silence" feature causing runaway Dialer usage. I looked and mine was indeed checked. I turned it off and will see if that changes anything tomorrow.

Where is that turn to silence option located at?
I don't have this issue, but sounds like a good tip to share when the question inevitably pops up again...

Sorry for the late reply, forgot i started this thread.
It's in Call Settings. Look for "Turn over silence" under Advanced Settings. For what it's worth, it didn't solve my issue. Dialer is still sitting around 17%
Bump.... Any help?
Any interest in combining threads?

Google maps = battery sucker?

looks like every time I use google maps it sucks the life right out of my battery why is this? Ofc i know that navigation will use a lot of battery but close to half of my battery for 20minutes is just way too much.
By the way with moderate usage and games does my battery usage look ok?

With the amount of gaming you do, I'm surprised at how little power the display is consuming. It might just be because you apparently don't use the brower much.
Try reinstalling maps. If the battery consumption was a little less dramatic, maps might have been staying active with the gps left on or something, but 50% in 20 minutes is a little much for something like that.
Also, the stock battery monitor isn't very useful. Try an app called PowerTutor, it's pretty amazing for diagnosing power issues. It'll tell you how much juice is running through each app at that moment, the average over x time, total consumption over x time, etc. Play with that and see how much power maps is using in the background. But I'd just reinstall the thing first.
Google maps runs a lot because of some location favorite places or something like that. Its annoying.
G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
Screen on plus gps plus data polling equals huge drain
Thanks guys I'll try all of these things

Ever since 5.0 update, there's a service running in the background that no matter what you do, cannot be stopped. This makes me want to try and find an alternative.

[Q]Removed apps data usage? Maybe the battery bug of ics?

70mb of traffic for removed apps process? Why do we even need that? Even if we need it some way why is it done ALL THE WAY in background? Dosent that keep the device awake? I got around 100kb/s speed and with a sleeping(screen off) device the speed is even lower. So the traffic could keep the device awake for a long time and kill the battery.
If not, then what on earth is that process and why it eat 70 of my mbs in 2 days?

I have the same information displayed on my handset as seen from OP's screenshots. I'm also interested in knowing what these "removed apps" could be.
The battery drain bug was due to "auto rotation" feature. please check the forums for more details. turn it off to see better battery performance.
lot of Custom ROMs have been released since then which have drastically improved the performance. Apex ROM with Matr1x kernel is what i am using and it doesnot have better drain issues or the "Removed Apps" process that you mentioned in data usage monitoring tool.
I have the same issue, and I can't seem to find a straight answer as to why or what the Removed Apps is doing, can someone please give me a straight explanation?
i think it's the combined data used by apps that used to be installed on your phone...before you removed them.
does that make sense? like if you installed google music and streamed 300MB of music then deleted the app. the app has been removed but the data it used will still be on that billing cycle.
it just doesn't bother to separate it into background and foreground or maybe it can't. data is data once the app is gone.

Weird battery life

So last night, I turned off WiFi and location, and Google plus had a freaking 10 hour wakelock (didn't take much battery, we have a nice soc, didn't notice actually)
Why would that happen?

The weird thing is that it didn't actually affect battery life, it is just weird... (good cpu not using any battery when at lowest frequency and screen off)
I'm running stock retailEU xt1032 on Asian xt1033 dual sim (Romania), bootloader locked, not rooted, nothing. I don't even use G+...

Android os and Android system also have weird wakelocks... I don't have root, so I can't get to the root of the problem (pun not intended) because of Google's restrictions on kitkat...

Perhaps Auto-Sync or Google+ notifications might be issue.
I've disabled notifications of apps those I don't use and really my battery life is amazing!

Yeah, maybe, but wifi and data were off... Gingerbread did a good job going to sleep when they were off, now it doesn't seem like it... (maybe trying to sell my data over no connection? Who knows...)

Carrieriq is back?

I removed the general bloat that this phone comes with, as well as the carrieriq ages ago. For the past few weeks I've been experiencing great battery life and struggle to drain it since I primarily am a casual user with no more than 2-3 hours of screen on time. However, today, I looked at my phone and saw that the battery had drained a lot quicker than normal - I had to charge it a few hours ago. According to wakelock detector, carrieriq appears to be draining it.
What gives?

Did you use a carrierIQ checker? Voodoo is often recommended. It will let you know if there is any files left on your phone

Just installed it and got this:
I'm not sure those consists of files I could just blithely delete without getting boot errors and what not. Is there anything I should do? My battery life is draining faster than normal and if this keeps up, I'm just going to sell this phone and get an international version.

Unless you specifically removed CarrierIQ when debloating, it's there. To remove it, check here
