There's many reasons for that.
The first question is: do you use the Facebook app? If so, delete it... It's a resource and battery hog.
Second, you're going to use battery life even in standby, but you'll use more if you have updating apps and widgets. So don't use weather widgets and other self-updater and you'll be better off.
Last, use an app like Juice defender to kill your data connection when not in use. I get 1.5-2x battery life with the app.

im going to go thru the phone again and make sure facebook didn't reload the app when i upgraded to ics and did the reset. I got rid of it months ago cause it was killing hte battery then. and i'll check out that juice defender.
Other then that, so far its been a huge difference in the performance of the phone. I used to have trouble texting or doing anything with the phone. I would hit keys and they would not respond to me and then all of a sudden they would all start going crazy. THe phone basically couldn't do more then one thing at a time. Now its crazy fast.
Anyone else find the phone kind of "laggy" after the update? Specifically when going back to the home screen. Doesn't always lag but if I've been on the browse or some other big app and hit the back button to get out and return to the home screen, it really crawls.
On another note, I can't get the phone to order the apps alphabetically. Even though it gives you the option, it doesn't actually do it.

what is the bootloader? After i did the upgrade I did a factory reset and the phone sync'd with my truck on sunday, monday it wasn't working again and now its not even pulling up the icon in the phone.

Have you rooted your phone or otherwise changed anything?
Nope, its bone stock except for apps that i've downloaded thru google play and the ICS update. Not rooted.

FWIW, completely stock ICS. I didn't even perform an FDR pre- or post-ICS install. All I did was make sure everything possible was moved to the microSD card, and I cleaned caches. BT working pretty solidly. Much better than GB for me.
Completely delete any pairings you may have had previous to the install, and re-pair.

Thread stickied. 
ok what i've noticed now since installing ICS is that I have to goto settings, click on bluetooth, then hit "make phone visible" everytime i get in my truck, let the sync say "connected" and the hit the phone icon on my dash and it will reconnect. This is every single time i turn off the truck. There has to be a way to have the phone automatically make phone visible or keep it visible.
i updated to the ICS build when it was official OTA...received it and it was working amazing for about a month...then it shut off last night and never turned back on...been on charger...wont turn on even with charger...removed battery and put back in...tried to do a factory reset...still not turning on..
any suggestions?
NOT rooted...

Pull battery and let sit 2 min. Plug phone into 1amp or better charger with a good USB cable (not those flimsy ones you can buy for $5 for a 6ft one). Replace battery into phone while phone is still plugged into charger. If you're pure stock, then the phone will boot into charge only mode. If you have a custom kernel, there is a good chance you will be SOL. I've had to do this myself from my GF using a shitty charge cable and her battery went completely dead.
