I find this to be unbelievable. Days?! You must've not recv or sent any txt, emails, or calls.
Anyhow like the 6.1, I find the best way to slow battery drain is:

1) Minimize push email via Gmail or Hotmail or Outlook
2) Turn up Polling Interval
3) Disconnect data connection after 60 secs
4) Run the battery to zero once in awhile to condition/reset it.

Even with that, like above poster wrote - 20% LESS battery life is pretty much spot on.
