So I just looked at my battery usage and notices that my phone has been "awake" for such a long time. I know I haven't used it much at all today. Anybody have an idea why this is?

I would upload the screenshot, but its telling me that the file has the wrong extension. ???

I have a huge battery drain (about 60%) by OS Android proccess even in the standby mode. I don't know what to do with this ****. From 100% to 0% it takes about 6 hours my phone dies in standby mode (with CM9 rom), with stock rom my phone lives in standby mode about 2-3 days.

Sounds like you have a rouge app(s). Download Better Battery Stats and CPU Spy. Read their respective threads to understand how to use them. There are threads where people will help you interpret the logs these provide.

I agree with dnorthington. I had the same then I realized that drawfree was draining my battery in a matter of hours...

Android OS only reports such high values in ICS because it includes screen on time.

I charged mine and let it sit for 7 hours. With wifi set to always on, I get 11% drain overall, 92% deep sleep and 6% at 192.
