Is that halving the theoretical suspend time (I thought someone was claiming a suspend life on about 100 hours) or the real suspend time? If we're talking about reducing suspend time to 50 hours, I'd be fine with that. Honestly, I don't think it'd be that much of an issue as I would not expect that LED to be on for long. The point of lighting the LED would be to get my attention if I was away from my phone when a call or sms came in. Obviously the LED would be cleared once I checked the event. So, for my usage, I wouldn't expect that LED to ever be lit for more than 30 minutes. -Steven _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
