Thanks for the tip. I actually used to use that modification but have since taken it off because it seemed to have an adverse affect on my Touch.

Anohter update for today:

Barely used the phone the last 4 hours. Missed one call and checked voicemail message for 3 minutes - down to 40% from 50%.

I think I might put the battery tweaks back on to test if the problem was closing out those running programs.
