Battery life

[johnnyZ]

On my iphone 4S with iOS6 I noticed I lose substantial battery life when it is sitting idle on my desk with nothing running in the backgraound. Other than the already documented tips I found below, are there any others?

Turn off search for wifi
Turn off bluetooth
change to auto brightness and scale down the brightness
Turn off EQ
reduce or turn off push on emails

My battery life was pretty bad when I first upgraded to iOS6, and I chose the option to "Set up as new phone" through iTunes also, and battery life was horrid afterwards, even though I set up as a new phone. Finally I let it drain all the way as far as it would go, recharged, and all is good once again.
