3) I don't know if this is true, but I've heard people say that using Wi Fi uses less battery than cellular data. Try using Wi Fi as much as you can, as it will help keep data usage down as well.
Well I did change the email delivery frequency and that did make a difference.

Now getting about 8 hours out of a fully charged battery.

Is this about as good as I'm gonna get ?

If so, I'll learn to live with it.
