Horrible battery life. - Motorola Droid RAZR

This is getting ridiculous. Rooted 211. I don't have very many apps downloaded, and not very many things running in the background.

211 sucks for battery. Upgrade to 215.

You have wifi on and not connected. Terrible battery killer on when not connected.

Let this be a note to everyone, the screen should be your #1 battery killer, #2 should be Android OS, #3 should be calls (unless you don't make many calls), after that will be your background apps. If it's not in that order, one of your apps is using up way too much of the CPU. In this case, "nextsms" is using up more battery than the OS and voice calls.

another note on screen time. I spend at least two hours a day reading books on my screen while commuting. I use the widgetsoid display control with two settings...20% and auto. I am indoors 95% of the time and 20% works fine. When I need to make a call or use the screen outside I tap the widget to auto and then switch it back when I am done. I am running 215 with hotfrog and I was at 40% after 18 hours when I went to bed yesterday.

Easiest way to save battery is to disable (uninstall if you are rooted) Google Maps. That app is evil, it runs whether you run it or not, and can account for 10% or more of your battery usage every day. If you need a navigation app use Map Quest, it is just as good if not better, and only runs when you are using it.
As someone else already mentioned, disabling WiFi when you are not on a network can save a lot of battery as well.
The darker the wallpaper the better. Completely black pixels are off and don't use battery on an AMOLED diplay.
Turn off vibration, or only use it when sound is off.
Disable audio/vibrate notifications on apps that you can wait until you are looking at your screeen to get the status on.
Just a few things I can think of off-hand that you can do without rooting on a stock ROM. Of course the sky is the limit if you have a rooted custom ROM. For example, on my original RAZR I can get 20 hours a day on a single charge with about 3 hours of screen-on time, 4G all day, etc. All I have done is use custom build.prop tweaks, calibrate the battery, use custom backlight settings, and custom kernel and scheduler. I haven't disabled any functions of the phone.

Clearing the cache and dalvik cache should help too.

Holy ****.. I took your advice and went into recovery and wiped cache, bloody hell, been 5 hours with my usual Im, xda browsing boss tapatalk, google current news reading and Facebook, I'm only down to 81%
Before wiping cache, i would be at 61%
Wiping cache did work for me after installing ics.

You have WiFi on but your not connected. Either you suddenly disconnected when you were inside your house. Or you left your house and forgot to switch it off, which may lead to your sudden battery drain.
If your not using WiFi, switch it of and if your not using 3G ,switch to 2G and you can save so much battery

Since Verizon has not released .215 (at least not to my knowledge), where would you suggest that a user get .215? I assume that .215 refers to one or more "leak" versions. If there's more than one .215 (since they maybe rolled into various and sundry custom ROMs), is there a particular variant that you recommend?
I'm rooted, but otherwise running stock .211

You can find the .215 leak file and instructions here:

I would uninstall/freeze your Handcent SMS app and make sure the phone is set to LTE/CDMA vs. the default Global and see if that has any drastic affect before flashing. That's under menu -> Settings -> More ... -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode.

I personally recommend .214 over .215
