How do I see which apps are keeping my phone awake when it is idle/not in use?

Just curious because I see in the battery info that my phone is awake sometimes when it is idle/not in use and I just am wondering which apps are the cause of it. Thanks to anyone that can help!
 
Should be in battery ussage settings. It's a little deep in the menu but there. I'm hmmm or sire of exact steps in touchwiz though. Sorry.

I use Gsam battery monitor from the play store. It goes more in depth than the standard battery stats screen does and can show you which specific app is sucking your battery and keeping the phone awake.

There is no "battery usage" setting I'm aware of. Only the "battery" which does not give you many details. I have GSam Battery Monitor also though...
 
Settings, power, useage. At least on my HOX

Like zhara mentioned, download gsam battery monitor. Then once downloaded open the app and go to:
1) App Sucker - Time Held Awake from dropdown (Take screenshot)
2) App Sucker - Num Times waking Device (Take screenshot)
 
The info is in the same place. You just might have slightly different titles on your settings. You could always Google it.

Wakelock Detector is the way to go. Media Scanner was keeping mine up due to corrupt MP3 file. Only problem I have now is that the deleted file will undelete itself every couple of days.

How did you find out exactly which file it was?!
