Try Badass Battery Monitor

Look for Samsung Push Service in your apps list and un-install it!
If you use Samsung Apps, this program is automatically installed and stays active, won't let your phone go to sleep!

Instead of trying to uninstall apps, installing Magic Locker allows you to set power saving and this could be very helpful. In my case it doubled the battery life and I now have around 60% left in the evening.
Hope this helps.

There are a number of Apps you can install that will show running applications ~ SystemPanel is one such app.
It comes in two variant ~ Paid & Free.
The free version is okay for looking at what your apps are doing but it does not offer the same level of service that the paid version gives and in this case you do need the paid version.
Full version ($2.99) adds app manager (installer/uninstaller with multi-version APK archival), and long-term application resource monitor to solve app-related battery life problems.
However, for finding out what apps are using your battery you can do this with your phone's built-in settings.
Just navigate to Settings/Applications/Running Services and look at what apps are currently running.
If you don't need a particular app running simply tap on it and select 'Stop'.
Job done that is one app no longer running in the background.
Another option is to again go to Settings/Applications/Battery Usage.
Here you not only see the graph at the top but also a list of main running apps (note not all are shown).
Tap the graph at the top and it shows you various parameters i.e. when the screen was on and when the device was awake. Basically you need both to be the same. If the phone's screen was off but it remained awake you then have an app running constantly in the background.
So, press the back button and look at the list of apps showing. To terminate an app simply tap on it and this time select 'Force Close'.
Spend a little time now and again popping over to these two places (Running Services & Battery Usage) and you should be able to identify what app or apps are eating your battery.

In my case I chose MIUI but I think any theme should work as well. After installation it asked if I wanted to activate the battery saving mode which I accepted to check its performance as I was having battery drain as well and needed a solution.
I was happily surprised the next day. I hope all these issues are fixed by Samsung in ICS.

Best Battery Status with Chracks Rom.

It's more likely that you've got an app doing that. You could also check your sleep settings (Settings --> Wi-Fi --> Advanced), but I'd be relatively sure that there's an app trying to sync and turning on Wi-Fi as a result.

definitely. Especially if you have an app that manages your schedule where wifi / airplane mode is off at certain times of the day.

One way of looking is if you have a firewall app and see which app is using data when you leave the tablet in active (disable all account syncing through settings -> accounts to avoid any false positives).
Alternatively you can do something similar above. Disable sync, and see what apps are chewing up data through the settings menu (Settings -> Data usage) when you disable all syncing. Probably one of the easiest way to do it without installing other apps.
Hope that helps

GPS keeps turning on

My GPS keeps turning on randomly. I have location services and such turned off, but they keep turning back on. Anyone know what's causing it, or how I could track down if an app is doing it?

Thanks Christ for create this thread as I am about to post the same question.
It has happened in the last couple days. I wouldn't say 100% but surely 98% every time I turn the screen on, there is "searching for GPS" pops up.
It keeps running for from a few seconds to minute then turns back off.
Yes, I DID set to disable GPS.
Does anyway we can figure out which app is actually searching for GPS, gurus?

Facebook does for me and I don't know how to prevent that **** from doing so.

Just disable Location in FB/Messenger app.

How do you know it's the FB?

It used to search for gps whenever I received a Facebook notification. It might not be the same issues for you. What about the weather widget?
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app

I don't set any notification ON and FB isn't running at all.
I suspect the G+ but don't know for sure.
Weather widget is not a culprit.

For me, it was Carrier IQ. Once I disabled that, my random GPS wakes stopped.

Sounds reasonable but I do have CIQ enable from day one w/o any issue.
It just happens in the last couple of days. Maybe 2014 isn't the year for me?

Maybe GSam Battery Monitor can help pinpoint which app is causing the GPS wakes. Or Wakelock Detector.

I also have been noticing the location icon popping up on my status bar every now and then. I cant find what app is triggering it. I dont see cIQ in my application manager to disable it...

Running Applications > Android System > IQ Agent Service. Hit stop there and then hit stop for Android System. You'll have to do that at each boot unless you're rooted. If you're rooted, you can use System Tuner.

Here's my shots.
This is probably directly related to the issue or NOT.
Clearly, Location Manager Service goes crazy.
What it is is yet to figure out.

At one point, I saw Google Messaging Service kicked on so I turned off Hangouts SMS feature and along with a reboot, my battery is now better but the "searching for GPS " still pops up.

Is location services turned off also in Google Settings and Maps?

Absolutely YES

Those photos... completely baffling. Wow. My guess would be all the recommendations above and going through all apps requiring location and disabling it.

Could try Greenify. I use it. It hibernates apps so they won't run until you tell them to

Need help with setting up Tasker for Greenify no root

Hi guys. I don't know if you are familiar with the non root version of greenify, but basically you press the hibernation button and the process goes on by itself.
I tried using tasker to auto hibernate upon display off but it doesn't seem to work. It does indeed start up the hibernation process but it doesn't force close the apps as its intended to do. Can anyone help?

Dumb question, but did you add tasker to the exception list?

Yes I did. I doubt the problem lies within Tasker as such but more the fact that the force closure of apps can't proceed when screen is off. Tasker does its job well.

Make sure u go into accessibility under settings and check the box for tasker if not tasker won't be able to be automatic on stock rom

Mi feedback app drains battery

Hi.
the app "feedback" drains at least 10% battery for each charge even if I disable the background activity.
The app cannot be disabled nor deleted.
Anything to do to avoid this issue?

Yeah same here, dunno what to do...

Did you guys tried to disable it with the non-root adb method that was posted long time ago?

I have not had a problem with it, have you tried deleting the app data?
Also maybe settings>apps>feedback (the app)>battery> turn off background activity.

Already disabled background and delete data. The issue persists. Thanks

Where are you getting the 10% figure from, is it "apps usage" displayed under battery or in app info?

Only in app info

Install gsam battery manager, give it the proper authorizations (via adb or root if you are rooted).
Then post a screenshot again.

I thought you were looking in App info, that information is for more than one app, like the data figure it is the app and associated processes, if you click on battery and scroll down, you will see real usage by app, and feedback won't appear in that list because it's not using much at all.
My own was saying 10% but when I look under battery stats the highest usage was Google at 7%, Feedback App did not even appear in the list.
