Basically the same tips that apply to any phone: turn off Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth when you don't need them, minimize screen brightness or use the auto-brightness feature, and limit the frequency with which apps check for new information. In my experience, though, none of that makes a huge difference, and I'm lucky to get to 5 p.m. before the battery goes dead on days when I'm out and about most of the time. That's why I'm really interested in whether the Project Volta features of Lollipop significantly extend battery life. If not, I'll probably get the Lumia 1520.
