I think I found out what is draining the battery. I turned off my wifi and put the signal on 2G mode. I am finding out that the battery lasts longer. Are you getting the same experience?

3G can be very taxing on battery life. A lot of people opt to disable it and stick with EDGE. You only really need 3G for mapping and streaming audio or video.

Also turn off SOCIAL FEEDS!
That thing murders battery life!
you need to modify the time that the apps check for updates.. like facebook..twitter, even the weather etc etc
No freaking way! That shuts down multitasking... That's like going back to dialup after being spoiled by FiOS.

I find that I save a lot of battery by signing out of msn, facebook and twitter instead of leaving them logged on to update. I only sign in when I want to check them and sign out when done. Saves so much battery. Beyond that I don't have much trouble with battery life. I turn 3G off most of the time and only turn it on if I'm using my gps or I want to view a heavy website and need it to run fast.

i have 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ON all the time..
and i wake up at 4am and by 10 pm i still have 35% battery life.. and that's on a heavy use of the phone..
on a weekend where there's not much traffic..i get to 10 pm with 60% battery life.
How do you turn it off?
open social feeds and then hit the bb key n click on options> display
