Yet WP8 devices' batteries are terrible, on the other hand, android devices are way better. I charge my Lumia twice a day!

a) make sure there's no rogue app eating Your battery - HERE drive, weather apps, RSS etc - plenty of threads around here
b) play less games

Native integration of VOIP apps - only used by Skype so far AFAIK

Since GDR3 update the battery on my 8X is better, I only need to charge the handset overnight and lasts the whole day. I keep everything off that I don't need or use when I am not at home, ie wifi, nfc etc.
