Lastest Chrome Beta draining battery - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just installed the latest Chrome Beta from Play Store (like minutes ago) and after surfin a while I took a look at the battery stats and saw this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Doesnt look right to me..
Sorry for the huge image, couldnt resize where I'm at :/

Seems alright. If you've only been surfing..

May well be that is accounted for by the initial syncing that chrome does

Sure, if the stats has been cleared that would make sense, but I've been using my phone for some time without clearing battery stats. Chrome shouldn't have a chance in hell to use more energy than the screen in that short while I used chrome after installing the latest beta. Before the install Chrome was way down the list.
But I cleared the stats and soon I'll see if it's behaving odd.

Application using power even it was never started?

This is weird. Why would an application use power even though it was never ran? Look at the screenshots, the game "cow vs. alien" was never started after phone fully charged, yet battery stat shows it used a whole lot of power. When I click on it however the usage info is blank, just like it never ran.
This is not the first time something like this happened too, had a few other programs do the same thing.

Extortionate battery discharge!

My phone of late has been playing up with the battery...from a full charge and five minutes of use it drops to less than 60%!
73% is taken by Android system, I've been running on an old miui ROM for a few months..usage screenshot below if anyone can spit the culprit?

The unplugged usage from full charge is shown below, down to 50% for 20 min use!

Might be a battery or kernel problem. Have you tried any recent kernel to see if it performs better?
No I've been using same kernel for a few Weeks without problem...just happened in last couple of days!

Battery Usage details in Jelly Bean

So I have the "Bookmark Widget" disabled, force closed and all but it still shows up in battery usage, sometimes as pretty high number in terms of battery usage percentage. Anyone know what can be causing this?

If you don't use it ill suggest uninstalling it... That work for me

Yup freeze or uninstall. Its just the widget for bookmarks. It won't effect your system in anyway if it is froze or uninstalled

My phone is not rooted and I don't think I can uninstall the Bookmark Widget.
Clear the data on the app in settings/app manger. Then remove the bookmark widget from your home screen If you haven't already. It should not reopen unless you open it. Henceforth it should not appear to use any battery afterwards. "Hopefully" lol

[Q] What is the mdnsd process and why I'd it using so much battery?

Hello,
There's this process I noticed in my battery usage settings and it uses so much battery and I have no idea what it does. I took this into notice after I felt that my phone, an Amazon Fire Phone, was warmer than usual. So I checked my battery usage, and I see this service, mdnsd, using 50% of the battery. Now, I checked the internet and XDA about this issue, and it says that Firefox is causing this issue. Problem is that I do not have Firefox installed. Now, what I want is what does it do? Why is it using so much battery? And can I disable it, since I have a rooted phone running CyanogenMod 11.
Thank you in advance,
mechasnyper

Nexus 7 battery use... What's causing this weird graph?!

Since I installed Marshmallow I've had massive battery drain problems with my Nexus 2013 (Wifi)
I tried all the tricks on here, cache clearing, chaning wifi settings (used to show wifi as the culprit, but not any more) and finally a factory reset.
However, I still keep coming to the tablet to find it completely dead!
Here is the battery use graph from when I got to it last night:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Looks normal at first... Slow drain, sudden drop when I watch a video, slow drain again until I watch a video the following day, but after that it slopes down to zero despite it not being used...
Anyone got any ideas? It's really driving me insane!
