Uninstall apps that are known memory hogs — some users report that removing Facebook's Android app gave them 20 percent more battery life.
Turn down screen brightness manually and switch off auto-brightness sensors.
Switch off services like GPS and Bluetooth until you actually need them.
Use silent mode or turn up the volume instead of vibration notifications that use more battery.
Change push notifications to a fetch notification to only look for new messages at set intervals.
