the 20000 is in milliseconds I think so it still checks every 20 seconds. I don't see that making it less accurate really

i installed the cab last night, after resetting I recharged as usual overnite. Today with light usage, a few calls w/bluetooth, beam off etc., battery was stone dead acording to guage by 3:00 pm. Don't know if the battery fix caused this or not. Uninstalled cab and now charging.

Try Schap's Advanced Config. There are settings in there for power management which may help.

welcome to geekdom. I have tweaked and continue to tweak a stock rom. running it for 6+ months now. I have disabled various services, no tf3d, set to 1x when doing lots of txting (ie when I'm getting lots of sports updates)
I think that's probly your bigest issue is using pusheffect you phone switches to 1x for the silent sms, then starts a data connection while swithing back over to evdo. if you get lots of email, your probly better off using exchange or just checking every 15min.

btw, I don't change the polling, as there are plenty of other things the cpu does every 5 sec anyway.

oh and for my battery life, sometimes I can go 2 days, other times 3hrs, just depends on what I was messing with lately. and I carry a spare battery, so I don't always pay attention.
