Hi. I have significaly extended battery life by disabling automatic sync, scheduled the phone to go in flight mode when I am sleeping. The most difference was made when I switch network mode to gsm only, because 3g is not so good covered as 2g. 2-3 days is a good autonomy, bit depends what are you doing with the phone. I can got also 1 day and half if browsing a lot. A huge difference make how you set a screen brightness. Hope it helps. Regards.

Android apps that use power control APIs are often 'battery killers,' oh the irony

Best way ever - Root phone and install SETCPU

Also titanium backup and freeze unwanted apps
