1. Calm down.
2. Check your time out settings. Are you SURE it is set to time out?
3. If nothing helps, use the reset to factory settings option. That will fix it but everything will get wiped so use a software backup to back up all your contacts, settings, and installed apps. Let us know how it goes.
I did a master reset and it will not time out if I get a text

I am having the same issue. I have tried doing a "factory data reset" via settings/privacy but still have the issue.
Are ya'll rooted and are ya'll using the default text app or handcent ?
Default text app. Non-rooted.
I would try Odin, factory reset wasn't really doing anything for me when I just wanted to reset my phone but Odin took me back to factory read This and make sure you have all the Samsung drivers installed first

Anyone else noticed their battery life seriously degrade from 2.3 to 2.3.3? Wish I hadn't upgraded now :O(
Just me then.
I got the opposite effect, battery life increased...you checked HTC sense for anything syncing that you don't need, email and gmail apps for any duplicate accounts or maybe WiFi is on full power?

Ah..checked some of the settings and backed off or disabled syncing. I normally disable syncing when I dont need anyway and even then I seem to be getting poor battery performance (compared to how it was).
Wifi I hardly use, its off.
I've tweaked some settings and I guess I can see how I go.
Thanks for the input.
I noticed a dip in battery life as well when I updated. After disabling HTC SENCE under accounts and sync, my battery usage went back to usable levels. I have to say, it never did come back to the pre-update usage.
I too had battery problems after the update as well as wifi issues ffs! Anyway, an update sorted the wifi but not the battery.
I was looking through the sticky and found a post by "Skullnubian" from December 2010 regarding battery problems relating to Issues After OTA Update 2.2.1. It works a treat. My battery is performing much much better today! I also have debugging "on" as apparently this shuts down a process that is constantly on in the background and also have auto brightness on....
Hi
I have found a solution for this issue that so far seems to work. After noticing that not even after resetting to factory defaults, Android System (process) persisted in misbehaving, I decided to take a different approach. The procedure involves resetting the phone to factory defaults but this time via the bootloader and recovery menu. To note that my device is not and has not yet been rooted so all options mentioned should be available in your ROM (I guess).
Procedure:
1st - Make sure that all your data is backed up(I use Mybackup pro)
2nd - Turn fast boot off: Settings>Applications>(uncheck)Fastboot
3rd - Now turn the phone Off (Power button and select power Off)
4th - Pressing the volume down button (don't release) then tap the Power button once and with the volume down key still pressed, a white (hBoot) screen should appear.
5th - First using the volume up/down to navigate through the options and power button to select: you select RECOVERY
#The phone should restart in Recovery mode: a picture of the phone with an exclamation mark is presented.
6th - Pressing VOLUME UP and POWER BUTTON should give you different option, scroll down and select Wipe data/factory reset. This should reset the Android side of things and wipe the Cache folder also.
7th - After that is done, you want to reboot the system back into the white (hBoot) screen, so select the first option and whilst rebooting keep the VOLUME DOWN button pressed. Once in the recovery menu you select FACTORY RESET.
At this point the phone should start up as normal and you set everything up again and it should be back to normal. I Would advise to wait a few minutes before restoring your backed up data, the apps should be fine to be restored.
This method worked well for me, the device has been of the charge at around 3 am [GMT] and remains with 30% at 17:45h after restoration and with normal use after about 10am.
Hope this works for you.

So, I just went and checked my phone's battery usage and realized it has been awake all day. I'm not sure what's causing this, nor how to fix it. I tried glancing through the forums a bit but I'm pretty busy at the moment and didn't see anything, so I apologize for probably repeating a topic. Oh, I'm running MikG 3.0 with the Less Lionfish 1.4 kernel, Smartass governor and SIO I/O scheduler. Thanks for any help.
sounds like maybe a rogue app. did you restore any apps through Titanium Backup? did you recently download any new apps? How long have you been noticing it? do you have any data syncing in the backround that may be hung up?

I think alaman68 is correct. If you reboot your phone, does it happen again? If yes, check your running apps for rogue service. If not, you'll just need to to do trial and error.
Today was the first day I noticed it, and I check my battery usage rather often. I am constantly installing and uninstalling apps, but I don't have anything currently installed that I didn't have before when my phone was normal. I'll reboot my phone and see if it continues.

wipe the cache and delvik when you reboot
I rebooted it without wiping either cache and it has stopped for now. Should I do that anyways? Thanks for the help, by the way.
In terminal emulator, type dumpsys power.
It'll shoe you if any of your system level apps or sensors are causing it

Check to see if you have FriendStream removed, I know MikG will allow this through the tweaks. If it's not showing up in your list of apps, it'll lead to a sync problem that will literally keep your phone on constantly. The only way to fix is to wipe and flash again, then don't remove it. You can try to push it back in through ADB, but that didn't work on my phone. I reflashed, and now I'm consistently getting 19 hours with no tweaks applied. Just a heads up. Without FriendStream, you may see the sync icon in your top bar all the time.
I don't have the sync icon or anything, just the ones on the pic but still awake?
If i do clean flash then nandroid restore, will the problem fine back?
What else can b keeping it awake
I don't have friendstrm or any of those Facebook related apps
Nothing comes up on battery use, its simply always awake

Will this happen even if you shut autosync off? One of the first things I do when flash a rom is remove friendstream, I never thought of a potential problem though.

Download the 'better battery stats' application. It will show you what is causing the wake lock

OK I d.l the app. But I'm having trouble finding what's keeping it on.
What option should I click on.
The first screen does say my phone has been awake for one extra minute compared to the screen on. But I can't find the option where it says what the app is.

When you open the app the first line on top says other. Change it to partial wakelocks. Before checking your wakelocks unplug your phone and don't use it for a few hours.

When I have my phone plugged in over night and then hit the unlock screen button, the screen doesn't turn on.
I have to hard reset to get the phone on then everything is fine.
What is causing this and how do i stop it?

Which apps do u have installed on your Nexus? I saw the freezing issue with touch control. If U had no apps it could have just been a bad flash
Have you got any overclocking apps?

I have been dealing with this for a while. It has made me late to work since I use my phone as my alarm and the alarm does not go off when this occurs. I've tried everything. Toggled daydream mode to ensure it was off, done a factory reset and installed no apps, done a full factory image flash to make sure there was no issue with the system files, tried a different charger, tried not charging, etc... it still occurs about once a week. I plan to call Google to ask if this is a warranty issue.

Download and install Safe Charge from Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sash.sodeliminator. Open Safe Charge after installing the app and click the Enable Safe Charge check box. The developer has an explanation at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226698 of how his app prevents the Nexus from entering deep sleep while the phone is plugged in. I installed his app after experiencing two sleep of death episodes in my first week with the Nexus and have not had one since.
I tracked it down that it only happens when wifi is enabled. When it's not enabled the phone doesn't freeze.
Try disabling location access? Wifi might have connection with that. No harm trying right?
Wifi on at night isn't good for human deep sleep anyway so I off it.
For some reason my screen won't shut off when I press the power button or by itself after any amount of time. I made sure all of the settings were set right that might keep it on. I know it's not hardware damage because I've pretty much never dropped it or handled it hard. The power button still works because it will get the turn off, restart, etc screen to go. Any idea how to fix it? I already did a factory reset.

Download wakelock detector and see which app is keeping your screen on.
Dialed that number, the dimming worked, but the sleep button didn't do anything. I'll try that app out and see what it says.
In my understanding *#0*# dialing is for hardware check, if sleep is not working from there means it has nothing to do with any app & better to take to service centre.

It didn't do it until after I tried to change my boot screen. Know if that would do anything? No boot animations go off besides the galaxy note 3 one (no Tmobile or samsung animation, and no shut off animation). I also rooted it so would they still help me even though the knox counter is 0x1?
Any help? Using the wakelock app it says that system manager application is used a lot more than anything else. Not sure what it does.

Try to flash complete stock ROM & clear Data & Catch before & after flashing from recovery may HELP.
That fixed it. I'm not sure why I didn't already try that since it seems kinda obvious. Don't know what made it do that though. Do you happen to know if modifying the boot animations can mess other things up?
Mine its not rooted still stock and all of the sudden started acting up with the screen ....i did the *# test and when i went to sleep it went straight to the lock screen ...any idea what could cause it

Mine does this every time I reboot my phone. I have to press and hold the home key, pick the pie chart, pick RAM and pick "Clear Memory". Then it's fine til the next time I reboot.
I had my note 3 with the same problem and solved it recovering the original system/media/bootsamsung*.qmg files.
to solve the problem plug the charger and unplug it immediately and plug it back in again. This is also the reason why the problem is caused. So doing it again will solve the problem.
Hey guys I'm running Stock Rom with the latest Updates and i cannot turn of the wake on Touch feature I've turned it of in settings but it still works even in my pocket. Is there anything i can Do except a complete reset?

There are multiple settings that have similar behaviour. So you need to disable all of them to do what you want. They are fairly obvious settings, you just need to take a minute or two to flip through the settings menu pages.
Another thing to try if you have any anomalous or unexpected behaviour is to wipe the system cache from recovery mode. This has no significant downside other than one longer than normal boot and will resolve a lot of one time glitches.
In the alternative, you could do a factory data reset but as you surmise that is a more drastic step and will delete user settings and files.
