Seconded. Mine gets good connection (at a certain spot in my house) where four other devices (two phones, one tablet and one netbook) struggle.

I second sixwheeledbeast's reply. I stretched my battery life from 12 hours to about 2 days just by tidying up running processes. WiFi is the biggest drain. Probably GPS too, but I never use it without being on a charger so I wouldn't know.

In my case the biggest help was:
  • Log in to WLAN manually (Search interval="none" in Settings/Internet connections);
  • Install AutoDisconnect;
  • Keep Skype at offline unless I actually intend to use it (staying online prevents AutoDisconnect from timing out).

PS
@sixwheeledbeast, I do not necessarily think it's off topic. After all, battery life does have an implication on uptime, albeit indirect.
