I couldn't last a week with my autosync off, so I tried to do the solution suggested in this thread for the 4th or 5th time.
I went back and cleared my data and my caches again. However, this time, I deleted ALL 6 of them (Contacts, Contacts Storage, Calendar, Calendar Storage, Gmail, and Gmail Storage), even though I didn't have any data for my Google calendar, nor have I ever synced or used my Google calendar.
It worked this time! It took a while for the phone to re-download all my contacts and mail (I still had Google calendar unchecked, so it did not sync the calendar per my preference), but after that, the sync icon disappeared from the notification bar and it ended the syncing successfully.
It's been working normally the past few days, with normal battery life, and the phone doesn't heat up.
For those of you who tried this method but had no success, try deleting every bit of synced data regardless of whether or not you use that service. That's what did it for me.
