7. Tap OK when finished.

1. From the home screen, tap and hold the Home key.
2. Now swipe to the left or right the app that you want to close.

You can also set your phone to synchronize less often to improve the battery life.

2. Go to Settings.
3. Select Accounts and sync.

5. Now tap to either check or uncheck Date and synch options.
6. When you are done, tap twice the Back key.

Turning your vibrate notifications will further improve the battery life.
