Agree 100%.
Somebody pointed me towards a forum on the Nokia site when I questioned battery life on my 930 on this forum, but a lot of nonsense was spoken on there too by a lot of people who didn't really know any better.
For example the original post suggested turning on Battery Saver, which disables email notifications, then later on added a (now completely pointless) tip to reduce the frequency of email notifications, which you now would not be getting anyway.
The whole point of the service is to allow you to receive emails as they're sent, not hours later! Otherwise we might as well go back to text messaging! Sure, if you are in a situation where you can't use the phone like driving or in the cinema you could turn these things off but then you might as well turn the phone off anyway.
Another example was NFC. This should use very, very little power and will hardly make any difference to battery consumption.
Location services on the other hand can use a lot and it will mostly depend on what apps you have that are asking you to enable it. One possible reason for that is there seems to be a lot of apps requiring location services so if different apps are constantly or regularly checking your location then it's going to hammer your battery. Unless I can see a reason for an app to want or need it I don't allow it. Sat nav is just about the only app I'm ever going to need it for, though it will be different for other people of course.
On my partner's Samsung the weather app seems to drain the battery quickly, I'm not sure if the one on the Nokia is the same. Never seen the point in it myself, I just look out the window...
