actually...its normally only ten....now that you guys keep flaming this thread, and i keep getting emails from it, by the time today ends im going to have recieved 200 emails.

You're not getting flamed. As this is a public forum, answers are to you AND to everyone else with a similar question. That's why answers include caveats about battery life and the relative worth of that many checks.

It seems many have replied to your inquiry with good options for you.
 
Haha, I didn't mean to cause all this ruckus in here. I've just seem pcs making a buncha threads around for every little thing. Now I know he's 14 :rolleyes:
 
I don't believe everything I see on the internet - do you?

pcs are junk would have been 7 years old :confused:

Not happening !

Have you seen his birth certificate? Are you his dad?

I only pointed out a striking similarity. I'd also say that there are similarities in the style of posts between the two. But I wasn't the first to suggest it...

By the way, the app mentioned actually appears to have been written by a fellow Brit (but I'll probably be flamed for this as well, now!).

No offence meant - sorry if it was taken.

Man I would definitely need a case with a charger built in cuz that would murder my battery.
 
FWIW, i had mine set to check every minute since its been JB. battery life was ok, nothing spectacular, but not bad. this is with 4 email accts, 1 exch and 3 gmail. when multiexchange came out, i delete the gmails (imap) and recreated them as exchange. KILLED my battery will all set to push. hmmm. deleted all but 1, then added one. battery good. then added another, ok, then added the 4th. but instead of push, i changed them to fetch. after a day, i decided to try push again, and now my battery life is better than when they were set as imap with 1 min fetch. i think the initial setup of the exchange was what killed the battery, then once all of the necessary data was downloaded, push was better.

just my 2 cents.
 
i have really wanted this feature, i dont like waiting 15 minutes to see if theres a new email, i love how my mac checks for email every minute, and i wish my phone would do this too. does anybody know how a package on cydia that does this? even if i could get it to 10 minutes it would be better. thanks in advance!


Likely not, pcs are junk is 14 yrs old, you know how impatient these young ones are nowdays.

If someone needs my attention quicker than email, SMS does the trick.


i get lots of emails..like 1-5 a day...and i have a portable battery charger coming in the mail.


Conclusion of this thread

14 year old PC's are junk = check's e-mail every single minute, thus requiring an extended battery... probably has ADHD

IF you only get 1-5 e-mails a day it really seems like overkill

some members (including myself) get 100+ e-mails a day

Why not just use text messaging/ jailbreak and use Google Voice ( that supports push = immediate response)

This is the reason I set up all my e-mail addresses forwarded to a single gmail account that has push enabled
 
If you want to do it without a download, you can also do it by editing /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.persistentconnection-mcc.plist and changing the "PCDefaultPollInterval" value. It's stored in seconds.

sorry for dredging up a really old post. However - I installed pushmod on my 6 plus and even though I could select 3 minutes for checking my email - it does nothing of the sort. I went it through ifile to change the seconds to 180 but it doesn't seem to be working either. Any thoughts?
