1. Set time zones manually:->head to Settings
->Location Services
->System Services (which is located all the way at the bottom)
->Setting Time Zone.
Note that this setting isn't in the Date & Time section, which makes it tough for people to find
2. Disable location services when not needed. You can also disable all Location Services, which is a good rule in general for conserving battery life, but you'll need to re-enable it for GPS navigation and other tasks as necessary.
3. Disable as many notifications as possible:
->head to Settings
->Notifications, tap a given category (Phone, Messages, Reminders) or
app (Walgreens, Zillow, and so on),
and toggle Notification Center at the top to Off.
Note that you can change the way they appear; you can return a given notification to an alert window in the center of the screen, the way it used to be, instead of with the new bar on top.
4. Check for e-mail manually. The same goes for Facebook and Twitter updates.
5. Check for software updates instead of using a USB cable and syncing with iTunes.
->Head to Settings
->General
->Software Update.
Apple recently sent iOS 5.0.1 to developers updates include bug fixes for battery life, among other things
6. Reducing screen brightness, disabling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
