Do you guys have any idea on what is draining my battery so fast? I am on JB. As of 2 weeks ago. That's when it seems the fast draining started.

There are so many threads on this issue.
First, is your data in that first screen shot, EDGE or whatever Sprint calls it? Are you in a normal "LTE" area?
??? He is on Verizon... It says it on his signature and his 4g symbol says 4g LTE whereas Sprint's says 4g or 3g only.
As for your battery drain do you have a lot of stuff syncing in the background?

See mine, this is why I was asking.
If I'm not getting an LTE signal but am getting a 4G signal, mine will look like his top one.

Thanks for that analysis. I will try turning wifi off because I do have it on all of the time and I will look into seeing what is maybe syncing in the background constantly. I think you do this by check applications. Oh and my gps isn't on. At least not the one in the drop down menu at the top.Couple of things..your signal is going back and forth, see the green and almost beige, not quite yellow even places in the bar? Generally if I use wifi, there is a black space in the signal bar that matches with the blue in wifi.
You phone is almost CONSTANTLY awake, something is running almost all the time.
Do you keep wifi turned on all the time? Also, do you keep GPS turned on all the time?
Edited to add:
I have heard of one or two having issues with the phone not going into "sleep" when there was nothing running and the phone had to be replaced. Not saying right now that is it, but that is something to keep in mind right now.
This is from this morning. I did a battery pull last night. I went into some apps to turn off the background syncing. There are a couple of things that run in the background constantly such as 2x battery and lookout security.
