Hey guys, I know there are a LOT of ICS threads here, but I believe this is truly effective. So this is for ics roms, and its pretty simple, so I'll post the link here so you guys can read some
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1628457
All right, so I'll post some pics so you guys can see how effective its been for me.

Here is my battery life. I started using the method mentioned at around 11 hours 50 something minutes, the rest, 11 and back is before I started using the options. At the moment, its been staying at 20% as I'm writing this lol.
Here, I restricted Facebook app (which I use on a regular basis) background data, and the gray part, which is background data usage has deceased significantly, before the option was disabled, the grey part was larger than the green.
I also, as the link I posted says, limited background processes to 4, which can be found under development in settings.
RAM usage is supposed to improve after doing this. Usually for me, at this percentage battery left, about 500 plus mbs is used. However, in this pic, which is after I applied the changes, I still have the same amount of RAM used as, say, when you reboot your phone.
Will post updated pics tomorrow night
Thanks to silentbtdeadly!!

I know this stuff works, I have practiced this ever since I posted, taming background processes and data not only makes everything snappier.. I'm pretty sure it saves on battery too(and I have pretty consistent good battery results). I was hoping to have more of a list of tweaks that could be effective to update the OP with.. but I am still happy with those two.
The only thing that sucks is that the background process limit setting gets reset when the phone is restarted.. but it is worth a few seconds to set everytime you reboot.

No offense but that's not a good battery life picture, your phone is idle too long, for a real comparison you have to use your phone, I've gone 17 hours before, and still had about 10% left and that was after a day of playing dead space and gta 3 all day

I'm not an expert but it looks like.... Ummmm.... Yeeeeeaaaa you charged your battery during thus timeframe so it's not a true reading. That's why there's an Upsweep in the power consumption graph. It won't do that any other way unless I'm not privy to a new technique

Most folks here break their phones and reflash a lot more often than that!
lol!
I make it a thing to power off and reboot atleast once every 2 weeks, so I won't ever have some ungodly large number like that.
But when I first got it I went about that long before I turned it off the first time.
Couldn't resist posting this for some odd reason.

That feeling you get when you have a 500+ uptime then do a reboot and the phone runs ridiculously fast. That feel
Yeah, I just checked mine... ~260 hours... rebooted.

Hey am I the only computer nerd on here?
Why are you guys not hiding your phones mac addresses? Do you not know what cyber crime is and how easy it is to know where you are located by your mac I.D. I could spoof your macs and other info from your phone call in threats to people, and you would get the blame you guys have to hide that stuff!!! Just wanted to let you know! At least cheekrox knows!!!

An interesting new app from UC Berkley. Might be helpful for anyone experiencing battery drain issues.
http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/14/carat-battery/
will try
For those that are trying out the app, report back in a week or so and share your results. Let's see if we can learn something!
I'm using it. Started yesterday. Trying very hard not to flash another ROM until then.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
i will try it thanks
I've been using for over a week now, but it has only reported 21 samples. Still says nothing to report under every tab. Will try a few more weeks and hope for some results. If it weren't for the low battery life, my phone would be almost perfect!
I've got 278 samples recorded and still nada. I'm suffering from poor battery life too. I assume because I am running a beta ROM. But I thought I'd see if app this can help.
Edit:
Update from the Play Store description:
"Due to Carat's sudden popularity, it is taking longer than usual to generate personalized reports. Please be patient with us; we promise to generate results for you soon! "

Downloaded yesterday and I have 47 samples I'm using jokers kitchen sink (aokp pcb) might make a diff on rom most likely see a difference between ICS vs gb since they Handel processes much different can't wait to see ppl report results and interested to know what rom getts faster and better results

Are you sure you didn't accidentally have any access revoked in LBE or something?

Anyone use this feature on their S2? Its on Sammy based ROMs. I noticed if you enable it, it makes the phone run noticeably slower, which is presumably good to prolong battery life.
Haven't had a good use of it, as I only discovered it yesterday, but does anyone else?

And i think it underclocks your cpu, so basicly yes
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Its only meant to be used when your battery is running low.
You can switch it on when say your battery is at 30%.
But as you know that will hinder the phones full potential.
Yes, I have seen that there are two options, for system and custom power saving.
When I choose system, it underclocks the CPU, but when I choose custom, it doesn't control the CPU, only the data connectivity options.
Just wondering how much extra juice you guys have managed to squeeze out of it.

Yeah, I know its primarily meant to be used with low battery, but sometimes when I go on long journeys, and no access to a charger, it may be useful.

Hello everyone! I'm surprised this thread doesn't exist yet in the Droid DNA section. So here I am to start the thread. This thread aims to compile and collect all the battery stats of various users of the Droid DNA so that those who would want to know more about the DNA first before buying can check this thread out to know whether or not the Snapdragon S4 Pro with 1080p display could hold up long enough for their own usage.
Please post in the following format:
1. Detailed Screenshots (please just post it as attachments so that the pictures would not take away the whole screen)
2. The screenshots must include the graph of your battery, and your Screen on time.
By the way, no flaming and arguing please. Just cooperate and help the community by posting your battery stats.
If you have some tips to share to the people to help them extend their battery lives, then post here too!
And if you have problems with your battery life, then ask here too!

That screenshot with the "History" on the top left corner, is that the window that appears when you select the "Usage"? If not, then please do include that as well
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
My battery history has a habit of not resetting. Meaning, I can go one day, about 12-18 hours, shut it off, plug it in over night to charge, and the next morning, instead of the history reading that it has been off the charger for about a minute, it shows over 1 day. I don't get it. It will do that all the time. I don't know what prompts it to change, but it does every few days or so. And just recently (as in the last couple of days) I have been getting a much more rapid drain of the battery, barely making 12 hours. No more excessive use than days previous. Any thoughts? No it is not rooted, or unlocked.
My battery lasts for a while with moderate use all day.
