Battery drain on G5

I am having trouble getting through the day on a single charge with little use. Biggest battery use shows phone idle, android OS, and screen. I have tried to do an application cache wipe, but not seeing much difference.
 
I have a great signal at home. I did find I had several background apps using the battery. I only have two e-mail accounts syncing. I installed ShutApp and stopped about 50 apps from updating in the background. What is nice is you can choose apps you want to allow to sync. In any case, I am definitally seeing a reduction in battery use over the day. So far getting through the day with at least 50% remaining. Much better than the 5-15% before.
