OMG.... why didn't I look into the Data Toggle earlier. My battery sux. Have Wifi at home and should be using that instead of 4G.... I only get maybe 2 or 3 bars max at most locations around my house anyways (which frustrates me since it's Atlanta Metro).
So you can still get phone calls and text messages with data disabled, if you're running Wifi? Wow, I would've never thought that is possible, it just doesn't make sense. I'm going to go after this because I'm tired of being a slave to the juice on this thing.

I love my toggles for WiFi, data, sync, Bluetooth, brightness, etc. I use widgetsoid because I can have my toggle bar in my notification drop down, always accessible.
WiFi uses tons less battery, so whenever you can use it, do so. Your phone will still do everything except picture/media text messages (need 3g or 4g for that) but if you get a pic text or want to send one, just toggle on data and you're good to go. Regular text messages work fine without data or WiFi on.
2 or 3 bars for data is not that bad. The status bar widget uses less bars for better data than it used to. If you go into settings> more... (under Data usage)> Mobile networks> Network type & strength you will get the actual strength of your data. Anything under -90 dBm is pretty strong, -90 to -100 is so-so, over -100 dBm is pretty weak.
I will routinely have -100 to upwards of -110dB at my house and in my office at work (downtown Atlanta).
Outside my building, I've seen as high as -78dB.... normally more like -83 to -95 though, so still pretty good there.
I have wifi at work, but I don't use it since I don't want it to necessarily be monitored, not sure it even is.... will have to ask an IT guy sometime.
Yeah, I have toggles for Wifi, Bluetoof, Airplane mode -- use them all the time. On GB though I had a 1x1 widget that worked for all 3 GPS sources, but I can't find one that works properly on ICS. I guess maybe I could break down and use that huge Power Control thing.

Wow. Turning off data sync using SmartAction when screen=off and movement=no..... let that work all day at work. Then turned off 4G data made a HUGE difference after I got home, using Wifi instead.
I'll upload a pic later, but I've got over 15h on the battery and still have 40% left. This is light-years better than before.
Trying out widgetsoid now...

That's great news! Thanks for keeping me updated.

I really liked widgetsoid until it started FC on me... so I moved on to Toggle Panel and have no issues
I haven't gotten any force closes but I only use it in my drop drown notification bar. I don't use it as a widget on my homescreen..I'll have to check toggle panel out. Thanks for the idea.
