Patch for FS N560: Save approx. 40 mA power (Freeware)
Requirements: Fujitsu-Siemens N560
Overview: Patch for FS N560: Save approx. 40 mA power
Image

One Russian guy reports his interesting discovery:
When you suspend your Loox with power button (with some application executed) and then resume the PDA again, it will consume after resume ~40 mA more power than before! He has this unpleasant feature discovered with multimeter.

I've made measures in software with acbPowerMeter utility and confirm that is true. This is so much power as the screen + moderate backlight. This is more power than Bluetooth module consumes.

Anyway, this small program helps.

Yeah, this guy has written another good program to turn off the led lights as well.

If you look at the forum link it looks like there might be a conflict with audio notifications with this installed. Might check it out.
