HOLY CRAP! So I hadn't done steps 2 and 3 yet. Before, having all my stuff turned on (except 4g) was almost doubling my battery life. Now, with always-on turned off, I am just about getting triple!! Holy cow! They should have set all of these settings as default!

BUT.... I HAVE to say... do NOT follow the advise of that link when it says to turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS... keep those ON! They all improve the battery life!
