Battery saver

Hey gang. Not sure if this has been mentioned. If you disable background data on apps that are data hogs, you can conserve a ton of power. I have disabled apps such as FB, Market, etc and do manual updates. Works great! Added hours!

How did you do the above?

Should be...
Settings
Data usage
Scroll down to the app
Select it
Scroll down
Should be a check box....

If my memory is correct

Yes it is correct.. Yup disabling background data helps a lot! also, uninstall or force stop the apps that aren't optimized for ics.... Some apps while optimized might also be buggy... I don't use fb anymore and my battery life improved a lot!! Something about the app kept using battery life... Install friendcaster instead!

It's been mentioned but I think people may have overlooked it. It's what I use too.

Thanks guys. I hadn't tried the above before. I had disabled things in the apps settings, but as soon as I would use the app again, they would be reactivated. Handling it this way that doesn't happen.
