IMO totally stock with facebook app running your battery time is not bad. I was getting about that when I first got my phone. Removing facebook app or disabling the sync for FB could get you a little more. Also kill as many widgets as possible. Another possibility is using battery saving app like juice defender. It will kill your data when phone is not in use. The bad part is it does take time to recover data connection.

I have Juice Defender and it is worth the minimal drawbacks. I am over 24 hours on my last charge and currently 32% left. I found my battery life improved the longer I had the device.....Meaning I was playing with it less and less. If the OP gets Juice Defender and over time, reduces activity, they will see improved battery life.

YMMV, but for me, Facebook was the single biggest power drainer. My battery life has improved dramatically since I disabled all Facebook app notifications and restricted its background data.
