Wakelock is the software call that keeps the device awake, preventing sleeping or power saving. This happens normally, but a stuck wakelock is often related to the cause of abnormal battery drain.

 

(baseband_xmm_wakelock is a constant, major drain in the Nexus 7 2012 3G, caused by a buggy, closed-source GSM radio driver by NVIDIA. No, I'm not bitter...)

As he mentioned, Shawn explained what's what. More details can be Googled, of course.

 

I'd leave them enabled unless you're having battery life issues. Utilities like Better Battery Stats will give you details on which wakelocks are consuming the most power. You could research the common causes for specific wakelocks and dial them back (for example, WiFi behavior when sleeping) or block them outright with these settings.

 

Wakelocks will happen - it's part of the normal functioning of the device. Again, I'd only take action in the case of excessive wakelocks and battery drain.

 

All of this is said without specific info about the Franco Kernel or your particular situation. ;)
