Try to Use Theme with a Black Background 
Try to Use only 2G networks

  1. For battery savings, I’d also recommend turning off animations by going to Menu | Settings | Display | Animation and selecting “No animations.”

  2. Using a dark BG/theme won't improve battery life... LCDs use back lighting, so the same amount of power is being pulled either way. On AMOLED screens they might benefit a tiny bit from darker colors but I recommend you skip that flawed "tip".

  3. I got the single largest boost by disabling the Edge/GPRS and using it only when i require it. also, Background data and auto sync off. I get a full 2 days out of the Incredible S.
