cant disable background data and it causes battery to die faster

[CSmith3VO]

Is there a way to disable background data with ICS? I noticed a long time ago that when background data is disabled my battery lasts twice as long with ICS there's only am Orion to "restrict" it and that doesnt conserve the battery at all.

ICS is really pissing me off because we can't disable background data anymore.... It's murdering my battery.

So what is causing the background data? looks like you are just running a bad app.

You most likely need to use the Android power widget or HTC Sync widget. If not you will have to go into accounts & sync settings and disable each one manually.

Go too settings click on data usage and scrollscroll down to each app click it and then scroll downdown on each individual app and turn off or disenable.background for each app .in your data usage setting to lower battery usage each one is seperate a individual shut off for ics now i hope thisthis helps
