Geneven and petur,
Low battery life has been discussed on this forum over and over. Some people have managed to improve their battery life by tweaking, as lidow reported, others have been lucky enough to get Smart Reflex running without reboots, etc.
Apart from that, it is very much dependent on the services you have running, eye candy in use, like live wallpaper, etc.
The information provided by OP does not mention anything about that, it talks about the various IM services available. I guess it's a bit of an understatement to say that the combination of 3G and IM causes a massive battery drain. So either you don't turn them on permanently, or use a different way of connecting. If that's not possible, you'll have to start tweaking.
If OP had followed all those threads and tips already, why did he not make that clear in his posting? I put up the google link, and within the first couple of pages there are plenty of suggestions to be playing for a couple of hours. But instead, OP rather makes a sarcastic remark about "my google experience" or whatever. Still not a word about what he has and what he has not done to improve performance. Well. Sorry, I am not always polite, not always friendly, and when I give a hint but get some remarks like that, I feel little desire to start spoonfeeding.
If the problem in this world today is being caused by people who are not willing to spoonfed, perhaps it's time for people to take things in their own hands and start using fork and knife on their own. OP has been here long enough to know how things work.
When a poster is new, usually I will not give them a lmgtfy-link. We were all new once, but this is not a new and inexperienced user.
I have no intention to offend anyone. Life is difficult enough without being a prick all the time. On the other hand: If people put their time and energy into answering your questions, you might as well react a little bit different than with sarcasm.
