First, you need spare parts. Go to Battery History and check the % of running time. If its near 100%, your phone isn't sleeping. Next is to find what is causing this issue.
Go to homescreen, hit menu, hit settings. About phone, Battery Use. See what is using the most battery.
Next, go to settings, Applications, running services. See what services are running. If your phone isn't sleeping, its probably one of these services causing it. For me, Coreplayerservice, which is the music player service caused the phone not to sleep.
Spare parts is showing 68% and that's probably because ie been using th phone a lot this morning

You should check the CPU usage next on spare parts...that should show you the apps taking cpu time

ill check that now
68% is very high unless you think that since you unplugged the phone you have literally been using it 2/3 of the time.
If you don't want the full blown Spare Parts app, but want the battery piece then you should download "BatteryHistory" from the market.
Sorry to thread jack, but my usage is 99.2%, thats bad right???

Its not good.
mines at 62% by android system
If this has already been addressed, please let me know. I couldn't find any relevant threads.
Recently, I've been noticing Maps is showing up in my battery usage screen, using 12-15% of my battery by the end of the day. This would be perfectly acceptable, if I had opened Maps at all on these days. This just started happening to me, not corresponding to any update of maps. Has anyone else noticed this? More importantly, does anyone have a solution? I've dug through the settings a bit but can't seem to find a cause. Strange that it just started happening also, seemed to start after the first time I used the turn by turn nav but could be just a coincidence.
TL;DR: Maps using more battery than it should when not in use. Why?
I've noticed that my maps will start up everytime I reboot. I just kill it before it gets to using any of my battery.
Are you checking this usage under spare parts? I've seen others report spare parts showing this. I don't use that app but I never see any listing of it using my battery at all.
My maps dis this .for a while. It was so annoying that I just wiped my phone and all is good now.

Yeah, try clearing data for maps in settings/applications

I was checking usage via the Android battery usage screen, not spare parts. It seems to have stopped ever since I force stopped it from the battery usage screen. Guess I'll just have to keep an eye on it.
It's been doing that with all phones since the new update.

Does it have anything to do with "use wireless networks" being selected under settings-location? That option sends your location data to Google periodically ("even if no apps are running"); I wonder if they are doing it through the maps app.
I suppose it's possible but I'm not sure it's necessary for them to use an app to send your location data.
Battery usage has to equal 100% so I find if I don't use my phone much maps will have a large percentage. If I use my phone the display and whatever apps I happen to be using take up a larger percent of battery pushing maps off the list. Something has to be listed on there even if it isn't using all that much battery simply because it has to equal 100% and if you aren't using your phone it is going to grab whatever is using battery even if it isn't much. When I look into the maps app I find the usage time is always quite low.

If its not maps taking up battery it'll be something else taking a large percentage
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
What he was saying was that the percentages you see in the battery percentages are percentages of the percentage of baattery used. So if your battery is at 50%, and maps says it's used 15% it's used 15% of 50%, not 15% of your total battery. I knew this already, this is not the issue. Maps hasn't been doing it the past few days, but it was definitely beyond normal usage, i watch the usage screen quite closely (call me compulsive lol).
It seems to me that he is saying that the phone will report that maps is using the battery just bec1ause it has to say something is using it.
If that is what you are saying, do some more reading on percentage. If maps was not being used, the other processes would just have larger numbers.
Have you tried to make sure google latitude is disabled? It is a part of google maps that will show your location to your friends.

have you been fully charging and fully discharging your phone?
What app did you install? Did you install a new rom? what rom are you on? My guess would be a rouge app. Have a look in the battery usage graph or get spareparts and look at the things that are keeping the phone awake.

I would suggest you download CPU Spy to see if an application is preventing your phone from entering deep sleep mode, for example. You may have a lot of widgets refreshing way too often, as well.

The only widget that refreshs at my home screen is SetCPU, in order to monitor the Temperature, but i will try that app in order to check whats going on thanks.
Ok finally I've managed to see what was the problem that was causing such battery drain/loss... The problem is that i wasnt full charging/discharging, now the battery seems to be working fine. Also I've check cpuspy and nothing is interferindo with the deep sleep.. Thanks for the help

Never fully discharge Li-ion batteries.
But is not fully discharging, under %15 damages battery? And also i put from batter over %95 because after %100, it waits until it drops and again charges if i forget there.
I'm not sure what's happening. My Nexus 7 remains idle most of the time, yet I get pretty bad battery drain and then when I check the battery history I see this. This happens during every battery drain.
Any ideas guys?

Wow, have never seen that on any device! Install Gsam or better battery stats if you are rooted to see what's going on. My best guess, it's a hardware issue.

Have you already tried reformatting? Kind of a pain, but that's the only thing I can think of.
Try contacting Google or the seller they might give you a replacement.

That happened to me once or twice. These spikes are only visible on the battery graph in settings app. I use an alternative battery monitor app from Google play and it does not show any spikes. Also battery life seems pretty in line with what other people report. I simply ignore them since they do not seem to affect battery life.
Could it be caused by the wireless charging functionality being triggered by other electronic devices in house?
I saw the same problem in the G+ community there, but it's Gelexy Nexus which updated to Android 4.3 recently

Yes, but the screen shot shows 2 days of battery , and he don't use the tablet
If I have a Light use I have battery to 4 Or 5 days...
I advise you to factory reset with the battery charged

Hey everyone,
My Nexus 7 (2013) is having the same problem with battery graph. There are about 2-3 spikes to 100% in every discharge cycle.
I noticed this problem has been reported in different cycles, but no one seems to be able to give a definite answer of what the source of this problem is.
BTW, after a reset to factory settings, the problem still persists.
ANY idea why this is happening???

You just keep referring to that forum without actually answering my question, even on that forum
I bought a S4 manufacturer refurbished new with battery, charged it for like 6 hours as it is new, I've been using it for nearly 5 hours now and it is at 41%, from the very start I've disabled nearly everything apart from WiFi and the Samsung features such as air gestures and stuff and even mobile data (as I have none atm) have been disabled and brightness has been just slightly higher than lowest, how is it possible that the battery is draining so fast???

look at your settings and go to the "battery" section, and have a look at whats eating up your battery.
you can use "greenify" from google play to suspend any applications too.
Here look Twitter is nearly highest, I find it highly unbelievable that Twitter has been eating my battery this fast, I've seen S4 users have their screen brightness to the highest watch videos social networks etc for 16 hours and still have juice left
