Alright,
I realize that there are a few threads related to this, but I would like this thread to cover all devices using the Android OS. I personally purchased an EVO and I'm finding it difficult preserving my battery life. This is to benefit all Android users and unlike the other threads I've seen, I would like this to be kept to proven advice only. My goal is to provide common and device-specific advice to those who need it most - people new to the operating system.
First of all, the stipulation... if this goes according to plan, it will be "sticky" quality. To achieve that quality, the rules must be followed.
RULE:
1. Only post if you have proven advice for saving battery life.
2. List your phone model, and if it's phone specific, notate that fact.
3. Leave Task Killer suggestions off this list. That is a debate, these are facts.
4. Do not participate in discussion - Facts and tips only.
5. Make this newbie friendly. Provide detailed advice and why it works.
6. Use common sense when posting... be as helpful as possible.
7. Practice diligence - read posts before posting to avoid doubling information.
8. NO COMMENTS OR DISCUSSION. visit, observe, learn, post advice only...
*IF (and only a big "IF") your comment is worthy - and ultimately beneficial to the thread - of being left, PLEASE... keep it to a minimum.
Thank you for all who participate and provide sound and solid advice.

P.S. I don't mean to sound like a dictator defining rules and such, but I sincerely want this to be beneficial and a one-stop-shop for battery-saving advice.
Background - I am using a Seidio 1750mah battery. I just did a fresh format of the internal system and am starting over with the settings after narrowing down the apps I want to use on a regular basis. This is why this thread will prove useful...
