80 gig ipod freezes at random.
mrmagic526:
It's not all the time and but it'll keep playing music but you cannot adjust volume and it won't respond to key presses. The only thing you can do is a forced reset. Several have mentioned this problem in a custom build forum but we all tried it with the standard build and have the same result. With and without custom wps's. I tried with a fresh install. It's not all that frequent but it'll happen mostly if you are doing multiple things at a time. Updating the database while playing for example.
By the way thanks for the great work in getting this to function on the 80gig. I love rockbox and have been dieing for the day it would work on my 80 gig. Thanks for your efforts.

Same problem here, it gets between 1-2 tracks before freezing on screen, no buttons work, however the music carries on, and the backlight still functions as normal. I wondered if it was because I was using my Apple firmware database as apposed to the one rockbox builds, but I just tried opening songs from iPod_Control and it got as far as track 3 before crashing this time. Each time I've started it off and not used it, so it's not multi-tasking that's doing it.
I'm hoping it's me being as thick as something thick, and have missed something obvious, if so, apologies!
Other than this issue, I'm loving rockbox again! Cheers for the patch devs
Edit - oddly, I installed some themes, and the font pack, (using "minty blue" now) and since then, no crashes. Try putting on the font pack? ???

Happened to me once - touching the scrollwheel turns on backlight but none of the buttons work. I just waited for the backlight to turn off and then tried again and it worked. The build I am using is not a recent one - a week and a half old i think.

I have the exact same problem with my 80GB. It is a more frequent problem than you describe. I don't think it has anything to do with the iPod database (which I'm not using) or the font pack (which I am using). The only way to recover once this happens is to hold down Menu-Select until it restarts.

yup it's not all that often but I haven't found any common thing that would cause it. Sometimes it's just playing music and it's stuck as described...
