2. Install APNdroid - this is a free program (available in market) you can put on your desktop to enable/disable 3g with 1 click. Only enable when you need internet access.
I tried the 2nd solution and my battery now holds for probably around 5 days (depending on how much calls are made).

Thats the thing on the first day I had the phone i did indeed have 3g enable most of the time and it lost power by 4:45pm. The second day I switched it off along with background data and it was down to 15% by 4pm so only a slight increase. However today I have been running it the same as yesterday (2g and no background) and it is still currently at 63% so a massive improvement.
However I got this phone as a top end gadget with all the bells and w
histles and now find that I have to cripple it a bit to get it to last a day. I'm hoping that once the battery has been run through it paces and charged a couple of times this will improve a lot more (already it is showing signs of this so fingers crossed)
