Hi everybody!
I have had a great idea! ...well I hope so...

Everybody's complaining about short battery time for K700i but... if you create a special profile "max energy saving" where the backlight is always off will make the battery time much much more longer, don't you think so?

Of course you'll say that you can't read nearly anything...
well but what about if someone will create a special theme, simple, well designed with white writtens over a black background so that is much more easy to read also with few daylight? Just in black&white!
Of course you can't use it always but think that it could be good for special and really common situations like travelling, in the bus, at university, work... situations where light is always present and you just need long battery time.

What do you think?

Ciao!

think it's the display that uses more battery power not the light...

I don't think so, I made some mesures righ now with FMA with and without light (BT connected), using the same theme with black (blank) background and the consumption is 40mA without light or 140mA with light!!!

100mA just for the light, I don't talk rubbish!

It must be like that because if you choose to keep the light on, in the phone settings (instead of auto or energy-saving) there's a pop-up warning you that the stand-by time will be decreased because light uses (a lot of) energy!

Sure the mobile doesn't remain always with the light on because is mostly in stand-by time and you can activate energy-saving mode. But if you i.e. write a lot of SMS, or call a lot, surf on radio stations... the backlight is always on!!!
And here we go -> screen backlight off and also keybard light off -> much more battery time!

no, when the light is off, it consumes 3x less power. (from 100mAh to 33mAh)

Even better!
I just quickly checked before...
So it would be really really good and appreciated if anyone will design a nice "LOWenergy-HIGHvisibility" theme!!!!
