Wakelock Problem Help

Hi there,

I've been noticing that I've been getting very poor battery life on my new S3 both on ICS and now on JB. After some googling I found the problem of S3s not going into deep sleep when left idle so I installed BBS and sure enough, overnight when not touched my phone went from 100% to 18% (9.6% drain per hour). I have the statistics and it was awake for almost all of this time. I can't yet post screenshots as a new member but I was hoping somebody could help me get to the bottom of my issue.

The total time since unplugged from 100% is 8h 12 mins 21 s as a reference point.

Other:
Wifi On 8h 11m
Awake 7h 35m
No Data Connection 3h 34 m
Good signal 3h 27m
Deep sleep 36m
Screen On 2m

Kernel Wakelock:
PowerManagerService 7h 19m 89.4%
multipdp 1h 17m 13.2%
alarm 58m 12%
secril_fd-interface 51m
l2_hsic 34m
wlan_ctrl_wake 33m
wlan_rx_wake 27m

Partial Wakelocks:
AlarmManager 2h 24m 29.4%
MediaScannerService 1h59m 24.3%
Maps app:NLP PendingIntent client in googlequicksearchbox 1h 23m
SignalCollector.ScannerThread 25m
NetworkLocationLocator 13m 22

CPU states:
1GHz 7h 9m
Deep Sleep 36m

Process:
Maps wakelock
media wakelock
android.process.media
doubletwist wakelock
com.amazon.venezia

Finally, the battery tab in OS settings says that Maps used 29%, Media 23%, gpsd 16%, device idle 10%, cell standy 9%, screen 3%, Androis OS 3%, Androis System 2%, doubletwist 2%.

I know that AlarmManager can mean a lot of things but is there any way of finding out without rooting my phone?

Any help on the above would be appreciated as I'm getting pretty frustrated at losing 10% of my battery an hour.

Thanks.
