Background Data and Auto Sync:
Disable the background data and auto sync options to conserve battery as running network processes consume substantial amount of battery over EDGE or 3G connections. This can be done by disabling the 'Background Data' option in 'Accounts and sync' menu of Settings.
However, sometimes you want sync to be active. In such cases, you can trim the autosync interval from the menu options when the app is open.
