Another option to preserve battery is located under WiFi advanced settings. Its called Scanning always available. Uncheck that to gain extra juice. It's also good to adjust the screen timeout to the lowest possible tolerable setting.

thanks for the tips. I knew some and learned some. I probably need to just root my phone and get it over with. I do not like any company telling me what I can and can't do with a product they made; even after it becomes my property(aka blocking every Android user from having ultimate control over THEIR PROPERTY.)
