Chrome eating battery for no apparent reason... - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I've noticed recently that when I check on my battery, Chrome seems to be using the most out of anything besides the screen. I don't see why, because it says it has barely been running at all. Anyone know why this happens?
I'm on Task and Ktoonsez AOKP ROM for the AT&T GSIII.

Seems like an error in reporting. My timer at 60 mins only draining 15%

Yeah, that seems likely since I don't notice the phone getting bad battery life by any means. Do you know of any ways to correct that if it's a reporting error?

Carrier IQ?

Does anyone know if the note has CIQ installed? I will not have mine until Sunday to find out... however on my skyrocket before CIQ was disabled my battery life was terrible. Although the battery still is not stellar once I disabled it I get about 3-4 more hours of use a day out of it.
Second question is since carrier IQ is hidden when checking battery usage where do you think the usage is hidden? I charged my skyrocket a few weeks back and never turned the display on for 6 or 7 hours. When I checked the usage it had the display at 41% even though it had not been on more than 30 seconds...
Most likely it is...

which rom works best with S-Voice?
I'm doing fine with it on Objection. However, I'm not sure if anyone else reading this noticed it, but in the last hour I notice a big improvement in the app itself, almost as if Samsung updated the servers. Before I couldn't repeat commands, I'd say something and then have to leave and reopen the app, but now it works just fine.

I tight it was funny Samsung was taking shots at Apple, considering Siri is clearly better.

Not a problem, but a it has been reported that there is a bug in how this is being reported in battery usage, something about a decimal point being the wrong place.
How did you get 22 hours? I barely get 12 hours with 2 hours of screen time with the mobile network turned off.

If you notice below his graph the dots of green, that is when he was plugged into a charger.

Wakelock killing apps?

Need a good recommendation for a wakelock killing app, my phone is awake 90% of the day even though I've had maybe 45 minutes of onscreen time at school, and another 10 so far at home. Screenies attached, I'm running my rom (ironically) 100% stock, no custom kernels or anything. This is gonna bother me to no end if I can't find a solution lol

It's better to find the cause than to treat the symptoms. BetterBatteryStats XDA is free here. It can help you figure out what's going on.

tried that. This problem was happening on my gnex too and i was hoping a new phone would solve the problem but i guess not?
Could be a rom? Using anything custom? Mine works.
Been happening on all and any ROM I have used
