What are you doing to compensate for the battery life?

I just bought an Energizer portable charger from Target for $20. Its 1000mah so I'm hoping to get around an extra 70% out of it. It seems to work well. Its small and thin enough to fit in my pocket along with the phone. And it comes with a sleeve that fits the T-Bolt and the charger just fine. I'm hoping there will be an 1800mah battery out sometime. that would help a lot.
 
I adjusted my settings and did the disable of the autosync for the Blockbuster app. My first day I barely got 5 hours of use, today after the changes I plugged the phone back in at 13 hours and still had 40% left on the battery.

autosync is the thing where you disable movie updates right? is it in the app or under the normal settings
 
There is plenty of good info in the sticky threads concerning battery life. Here is a good guide as well
 
Bought the extended battery. No problems now.

Exactly with the extended battery I leave wifi, bluetooth and gps on all the time and according to battery left I'm good for 47 hrs per charge. I unplugged 15hrs ago and it shows I have 32 hrs left. No problem here.

wow is that what is shows in battery monitor widget? that's way more than double the life it gets with the stock battery. does the phone fit into a case with it, like the kind that goes on your belt?

Whaaat?? Awesome. I hope I like the extended battery. Cause I get paranoid when I can watch my battery drop within a couple hours. Luckily I am by a computer most of the day and carry a 1500mAh solar powered external battery in my car. Very cool device if you want an emergency flashlight/usb charger. Amazon.com: ReVIVE Series Solar ReStore 1500mAh External Battery Pack with Universal USB Charging Port for HTC , Motorola , Samsung , T-Mobile Android Smartphones / Kindle 2 , DX , Nook / AT&T and Verizon Apple iPod , iPhone and More USB Powered Devi is the solar charger, and Amazon.com: I-Up 6400mAh External Battery Pack for Iphone 4: Electronics is the 6400 mAh I have for my ipad and everything else. I've got all sorts of backups so I can safely suck down all that LTE goodness. And I would like to use tasker more than I currently am. Does anyone know if you can manipulate Sense features in tasker?
