My battery was less than stellar pre-update but it's excellent now. Don't know what they did but I couldn't be happier. Screen time is just shy of 2 hours and so is talk time.

Wow on the battery now!

What carrier?
Verizon.
IIRC in that screenshot the display time was around 1:50 and talk time was around 1:45. Yesterday Android OS was high in the morning/mid-day but went back to not too bad when I actually started really using the phone. It really climbs up there when the phone is idle. I'll have to look but I think I took another screenshot of really high Verizon MMS and Keep partial wakes, neither should be factoring in...especially since I've not used Keep in a month or more! When I get a minute I'll post that here.
Edit: Here's that screenshot, notice how high Keep is? I have not updated it on the phone or online in weeks?

You might try to update Keep to see if they cleaned up some of the unnecessary syncing. But those partial wake locks shouldn't be a huge issue, depending on when they happen.
It's hard to explain, but the best behaved apps (most Google apps) will try to time their syncing for when you have a lot of battery and/or are on WiFi
Many will also try to batch the syncs together. So if the phone is woken up by say the maps app, other Google apps will piggy back on that connection before your radio goes back into low power, then sleep state.
However Keep is new, and may have been rushed or not as polished. I might try updating it.
SyncAdapters are complicated to program and are often added as a refinement to an app after release. SyncAdapters are how they do those battery saving tricks for network usage.
Partial Wake Locks by themselves are not generally harmful unless they are spaced out in such a way as to keep the radio from falling back into low power mode. Partial wake locks only keep the CPU on, not the screen. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/PowerManager.html

Edit:
What worries me more is that VZW MMS thing, not sure why that is keeping your CPU on for such a long period of time. 24 minutes? That seems very badly behaved.

What do you mean when you say update Keep? I disabled sync for it since I hardly use it but that's not really a solution.
Here's a shot from just now...

Oh, I just meant if there were any updates in the store, if you dont use Keep, by all means disable it or uninstall or whatever 
That ^ screenshot looks more natural.
If I had to guess i would say you listened to some music and talked on the phone some?

I thought that's what you meant, there is no recent update.
I think that's why the Verizon MMS was probably high the other day, I was doing a lot of texting. Yesterday was a phone day. Not sure what the media is really, I wasn't playing tunes.
I really just need to stop looking at this stuff and let it do it's thing. I'm getting good battery life for the most part so have to just go with that.
