BJS2, drop in battery life since update

Ah, right. Sorry!

What clock face are you using out of interest? I'm kind of surprised the flashing taxes the battery so much.

Although looking at it, it's loading the icons, settings, and code off the external flash memory once a second, so it could just be that the flash memory is spending most of its time awake and so it causing a higher battery draw than normal.

If it becomes an issue, probably the best bet is to make a minimal messages widget that just flashes a single icon once a second, and the whole thing could run from RAM and would probably be an awful lot better for power consumption.

I originally tried to use the default Anton watch but had trouble getting the latest version running on 2v12 and the old version running on 2v24. Rather than fight errors I did a quick search and found Simple Clock which worked on both with no modifications.

Like I said though, it's probably not a big deal, no one else complaining, I acknowledge I'm weird for not checking my messages as they come; even without the flashing, the widget never really helped me. I'd look at it and go "yup, got a message, I'll get to it eventually".
