My wonderful Note isn't going into Deep Sleep mode which is sure to be one of the big battery drain issues i face. Can someone tell me how to get it to go into Deep Sleep mode?

One issue with the Note and batterydrain is that it dont turn off the WiFi when the phone is asleep. But you can fix this by go to setting for WiFi and set it to turn off WiFi when the screen is off.
When I did this my Note went from using 50% of the battery overnight, and to about 2%
At the same time I turned off the autoupdate feature for Weather, Googlemail and so on..
look at the apps that uses battery if you see samsung push service the it is your problem. i solved this issue by freezing it via titanium backup
My Galaxy Note simply refuses to deep sleep. My main partial wake-lock is an "RILJ". But, besides that, I cannot see what is causing the problem.
Nice article here found by searching in google.

Are you running ics rom? If so some of rom will make that happen
check out the link it might help
down load better battery stats and you will find the curlpit which will allow your phone to go in deep sleep and save your battery :fingers-crossed:
JUst restart mob and check if deep sleep is working or not if not power off remove battery and then restart it should go to deep sleep.
Now solution, basically deep sleep problem is related to the USB port of samsung mobs.
While plugging in the charger unlock your phone and then connect,
and while removing charger again 1st wake phone means do screen on and then remove charger now your deep sleep will work properly. Also if you connect OTG cable then also mob refuses to goto deep sleep only solution is restart.
I'm currently using Nik's Codename Jellybean ROM and am getting excellent battery life for the last week or so. I have used the kernel that has come along with it.
However, yesterday when I went out - I turned on GPS (turned on for a short period and then off) for the first time since flashing the ROM and since then, the GPSLocationProvider has been providing partial wakelocks every second whenever the phone is not on airplane mode and preventing deep sleep, killing my battery in the process.
I have attached a screenshot from BetterBatteryStats.
I have looked about in the forum and the only solution from a couple of old threads seem to be rebooting the phone so that the phone can go back into deep sleep mode, which is really not the best solution is it?
If there is any solution or a compatible kernel that prevents this, I'm happy to hear from you.
It may also due to your Google location services which is active. Take the dump again with all location, GPS turned off!!
Edit: Location wake lock dump shows its active for long time. Seems like its due to location service not GPS, which you turned on only for a short duration.
Cool - that may help isolate the problem. I will toggle Maps, Location Services, GPS and see what is causing the issue.
Many thanks
Happens to me also on other ROM and device. But only if i start some app, which is using GPS, but its not enabled yet.
In case I enable GPS, than start the app, use it, close app, disable GPS, then GpsLocationProvider is not running in background.
I'm opening this thread to clean up the Dev thread, since the most probable cause of battery drains are software/configuration related.
Here's my own experience with this matter.
Most of the drains I've seen are related to Location settings and Google Now. It seems Google's Location Reporting and Location History keep pinging WiFi for the location at a fairly high rate, so keeping the phone Awake and/or the WiFi running all the time. An usual indication of this is that in BetterBatteryStats you get:
1) Screen On % very low
2) WiFi On 100% of the time
3) WiFi Running 100% of the time.
4) Awake with moderate-to-high %.
To test it, here's what should be done:
1) Get BetterBatteryStats (BBS), enable Root, install it as system app (in advanced settings). Reboot.
2) Disable WiFi and GPS completely, preferably leaving Data Network also off. You may go all the way and just turn on airplane mode.
3) Leave the phone idle for at least 1h and check that there is no battery drain.
If you get any considerable drain (more than 5%/h), check Kernel Wakelocks and Partial wakelocks, or try again with 2G networks only. You may have a baseband problem. Consider this step as your "control group" as it ensures nothing in the hardware or in the ROM is wrong.
If there is no drain, enable WiFi and GPS again, but make sure all this settings are UNCHECKED:
1) Settings->WiFi-> Advanced: "Network notification", "Keep wifi on during sleep" set to "Never", "Scanning always available".
2) Settings->Location->Google Location Reporting: "Location Reporting" set to off and "Location History" set to off. Or just disable Location completely.
3) Check Settings->Security -> Device Administrators -> Disable at least Android Device Manager. If you can, disable everything else in this screen, such as Airdroid, Cerberus, etc
4) App drawer -> Google Settings -> Search -> Set Google Now to Off. You can also configure Android Device Manager here.
Leave the phone idle again for 1h and check BBS. In theory you shouldn't need to recharge completely, just enable the watchdog in BBS. Always check the wakelocks too.
You should get this on BBS:
1) Screen On % very low
2) WiFi On 100% of the time
3) WiFi Running with low % (anything less than 50% is ok, depending on Sync settings and background apps)
4) Awake with low %.
5) Deep Sleep with almost 100%
Go back enabling stuff as needed, one by one, leave the phone idle and check BBS. Rinse and repeat until you find the culprit.
One thing, make sure you do this after letting the phone sync some of the stuff. Don't do this immediately after a setting up a Google account.
Some people also reported that doing a factory reset solves the drains. It's always recommended anyway.
Any other hints are also appreciated.
For people with trouble making BBS work, Try getting the latest version, enable Root in Settings->Advanced and them System App, also in Settings-> Advanced.
Also:
1) When the phone is charging it WILL BE AWAKE WITH BOTH CORES, ALL THE TIME. Depending on the governor used, both cores may even stay at full speed (aka 1GHz). This is BY DESIGN and stock ROMs does that too. So any measurement while the phone is charging is useless.
2) Most "calibration" procedures are myths and don't have any effect. Erasing batterystats.bin also does nothing to increse battery life or remove drains (but may solve some charging issues, still unclear).
Very interesting.. Good thread and good options to test our battery drain ! thanks for the post.
I'll try this when I get home from school, thanks.
Weird thing happened last night, I thought the battery drain was gone when I recalibrated, but my phone discharged over night, weird thing is my settings show the phone didn't go to sleep once during the entire night, even though it was on airplane mode and I had already used it for like 3 or 4 hours with no apparent brain
There is a lot of battery drain only when WiFi in on. Even if the phone is idle.
I'm on:
Maclaw CM 11.0 [20131210]
I8190XXAMJ2
I'll do the exact tests and post my results.
Do you get notifications with wifi set to never during sleep?

Use the 1st step I wrote above with BBS. Check Kernel Wakelocks and Partial Wakelocks. You will be able to pinpoint exaclty what is keeping your phone awake.
I was about to start a thread on the same topic but my problem is with Carbon Rom 4.4.2 . The phone never goes into deep sleep and is awake 100% of the time. I'm attaching what I see as the culprit in B.B.S. I already disabled sync and yet the wakeclocks are sync related I hope anyone can help me with this.
i just changed to peagusq everything is fine

Notice that the Count is 0 on both GoogleServices related wakelocks. To me this seems that Chrome and something else (maybe G+?) are trying to sync (perhaps the first one?) but are not getting enough network time/bandwidth to do so. I suggest you connect to an wifi, turn on the sync, and leave the phone awake for a while (try not to use the network very much). See if that solves. If not, backup and factory reset are your friends.

I fixed my problem by switching back to dalvik and now my phone only looses about 5% battery overnight.
Lately I noticed that my phone doesn't go to deep sleep, I have locations off and also tried disconnecting android wear but that doesn't seem to be the issue. Any ideas?
