Image via WikipediaI've stumbled upon another setting which should further restrict your phone from intermittent data access. In the last post turning off background data was the supposed silver bullet which I thought should solve the drain. Although, it had cut it down a good amount, there was still annoying cellular data transfer which I felt was unwarranted. These transfers occurred when apps were syncing or getting ads relayed to them.
The offending setting can be found under:
Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile networks
- Data enabled (Enable data access over Mobile network)
Simply uncheck this option and the little 3G/G symbol should disappear. Now you've fully choked data transmissions and hopefully added to your battery mileage.

Cheers for the tips, how much would you expect to get out of your battery now?
Earlier, if i'd charged my phone before going to bed or during the day, it used to just drain away to nearly below 20% just sitting there. No App use or internet browsing. Now I find it nearly at the same amount I had when I had left it unattended.

Hi, thanks for the tip however the correct location for this last tip is Settings/Wireless & networks/Mobile Networks/Data Enabled !
Please keep posting news about this phone! :)
I hope this and the other tips can make the battery last longer.
It is a really good price for a Android phone, but the battery can drive someone mad.
Thanks for pointing that out Lorenzo. I don't know where my head was.
