Blinker v1.9 battery used
Hello Zevele,
Blinker is working correctly in my Rhodium,
but it is use high battery, therefore I cannot use this tools. I mean when battery is 100% percent, and blinker 1.9 is active, it is used 20 % about 1 hour.
Do you know why?
Many thanks.

I never had power issues with Blinker. The problem might be with Blinker preventing sleep, try setting wakeupnotification and/or set allowunattendedmode to zero and see if that solves the problem.
Another possibility is that one of the notifications cause the high drain, try removing all sequences and see if it still show high power drain, if it doesn't try enabling the sequences one by one - maybe we could identify which feature leads to the high current drain.

Thanks for fast reply.
Ok, I will try it, but I don't think it will solve my problem, because if I stop the blinker it is used more power. In the future I will try clean install.

Surely you can help me zevele :
if i want to ad a sound every 10mn after blinking led every 15 secondes.
How must i set the string ?
edit : well, i found how to:
Pl\sound,Stime,L50(50 is exemple to set the string before the sound comes again),Ptime,Stime...,E
edit2 : that's not very well because when i red sms or missed call, the led continu to blink until the sequense is finishing.

Known issues
Custom LED id's are not saved to the registry in ver. 1.5.- It seems that there are some issues running "Dusk taskbar"
or "SDKCERTS"along with Blinker. - Sometimes when the device is locked, the application stops working (until the device wakes up). After a soft-reset the application returns to behave as expected. I really don't know what instigates the problem or how to solve it... If anyone has a clue please leave me a message. Not solved, but might be better in ver. 1.1.
Update(16/4/2011): setting [HKCU\Software\Blinker\AllowUnattendedMode] to 0. Solved this issue for some. Also enabling "Don't suspend power" in S2U2 (under the advanced category) seems to help.
Update(14/5/2011): In ver. 1.4 a possibility to periodically wake the device, it seems that this solution might work around the issue.
gpobernardo may have found a solution to the problem.
[*]Non at the moment (I'm sure some will pop soon...)
System Requirements
- .Net Compact Framework 3.5
- Tested successfully on: HTC HD2 (Leo), HTC TD2 (Topaz), HTC Touch HD (Blackstone), HTC Touch2 (Mega).
But might work on other devices (please let me know if it works on other devices as well...)

Indeed there was an issue regarding midnight in the wakeup loop. I've modified the code and it should be fixed now... Please let me know if it solves the problem (cab attached). If it's good I'll update the first post.
Thanks,
Z.2
You can set all sequences to empty strings, and disable "ACNotification", this should get you what you want...
Z.2gpobernardo, first - thanks for testing the fix. I'll post a the link on the first post.
The fix was very minor and shouldn't affect anything else (afaik...). Let me know if this issue returns.
Z.2
I thought I had it fixed - I'll check it and hopefully it'll be good in the next release...
