You definetely have apps acting up in the background.Boot your phone in safe mode and see if the same occurs:

~~First of all, your screenshot aren't (yet!) visible. So it is hard to tell what can be the problem.~~

I had similar problems with android stayed awake and draining the battery, but in this couple of times it was only needed to restart my phone and nothing else.
I your case, maybe is some application that keeping awake your phone?

Maybe antivirus or some kind of app that is always active, (e.g. Facebook app, Email, etc.)

Last problem I've noticed is mediaserver and Walkman app as cause of my problem with battery drain.

You said you have flashed your phone? It takes some time for Android to settle down after update. So if you upgraded your phone when you bought it and now reinstalled it, then it may still be settling down.

On the other hand did you make discharge (under 20%) and charge of your battery after update?

There are many possible reasons, but some of them are more likely to be, then others.

EDIT: Well meanwhile pictures and another suggestion came on 🙂

Use your phone for about 1 day like that and see if the same drainage occurs.If it is fine,you have apps acting up(task killers,battery savers,phone optimizers).

So you have manually flashed your phone?

How long ago?If it is very recently,you should wait some more because the phone will stabilise in a couple of days(even more).

@Theliako

You definitely have some app running in the background (see you app list), because from the screenshot it is visible, that something holds your system Awake for certain period of time.

My guess would be apps like account sync, Facebook, etc.. that have ability to run in the background (if not disabled!) without user interaction.

Re: battery drainage

I suggest you use it in safe mode for 1-2 days and see if there is any difference.

Theliakos — Thu, 06 Mar 2014 20:13:31 GMT

ok sir thanks ! if i notice difference how am i going to know which apps are so battery demanding and keep the phone awake ?

prometej-zg — Thu, 06 Mar 2014 20:15:30 GMT

@Theliako

I use Clean Master to monitor junk and / apps running in the back and sometime to clean them, but there is app on Google Play called Wakelock Detector that can "analyse" some of apps running on your system, so it may be helpful to you detecting app that is draining your battery... (hopfully successful in your case)

EDIT: Or do what alexdon said. 🙂

_alexdon_ — Thu, 06 Mar 2014 20:15:55 GMT

As prometej-zg said,there might be a permanent syncing in the background.Maybe now you will see a difference.

Ok,keep us updated through the process.Also,try to use stamina mode,it does help with managing battery life.
