First adjust your brightness to make it viewable but not bright, remove running processes you dont need:

Install 3g enable/disable widget and turn off when you dont need it ie standby.

https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5mYXJwcm9jLmRhdGEuZW5hYmxlciJd

Turn off wifi, gps and bluetooth.

Unselect background data and autosync, note you need background data on to use the market.

Dont use live wallpapers and delete unneeded widgets.

My battery now lasts a full day and has a full battery icon.
 
My 2 cents:

Root your phone , install cputuner from market,and configure two profiles.

screen on : 836 mhz
screen off : 312 mhz

That way when your phone's screen turns off , you downclock your cpu to 312 mhz .

Dont use task killers : your phone wastes more battery re-opening killed tasks : instead , make sure everytime you close an app, its really closed . WIth stock task admin , you can make sure of it.

Install juice defender . Apart from other things, it disables data connection (GPRS/3G/HSPA) when wifi is on.

Thanks I set the trigger to lock screen as screen off is that all I need to do?.

Mine lasts easily a week with just texting, all data and other things turned off mainly due to being on pay and go and the fb app still sends data even when supposedly closed down lol


Never use a task manager.
This is a truth that task manager eats up lots of RAM as well as battery.
Just checkout the all new v6 supercharger script, it is supercompatible with gingerbread.
It will boost up ur phone as well as there will be improvement of ur phone battery life also.
If u need my help u can post it here or I think member Ellis will solve it.
