80 gig ipod freezes at random.

[aressto]

Just to add my own comments to this :

Hasn't happened to me at all.

what gen ? 5 or 5.5 ?
wich build exactly do u using?

[GodEater]

80GB, so 5.5G - I'm using a build from today - svn rev is 13583.

I update a couple of times a week usually. Sometimes once a day.

[aressto]

i have 80gb and its 5gen

ok, than its realy does't matter if you update often

hmm... what is the problem than
mine is freeze up again

[DefineByte]

no its does't respond in any way
music is still playing but screen freezes

only thing i can do is reset

It was more me just saying vaguely similar weirdness happens on 5G 30GBs.

[GodEater]

i have 80gb and its 5gen

No, it's a 5.5G

ok, than its realy does't matter if you update often

Huh?

When did you last update yours ?

[knight4led]

Mine has been freezing on SVN builds and the EvilG build, so I think we can toss that out.

However I would urge people to try something when they notice the freeze:
Press menu once and wait, mine seems to take a minute or so, but it usually recovers.

I was resetting at first, but upon seeing the freeze, pushing menu, then deciding that I'd rather finish listening to my album than reset, I noticed it eventually recovered.

I just discovered something, for what it's worth... When it started happening, I disabled various processing things like Crossfeed and ReplayGain, and sometime not long after (presumably after a reboot), it basically stopped happening.

Today I was listening to an older album and thought "Hey, I should put ReplayGain back on!"
I did so, and literally almost immediately I got the freezing problem. Twice.

I've disabled it again and rebooted, and it seems ok so far, although who knows.

So... ReplayGain? Or could it just be some kind of load threshold? IANAP, so this is just an observation...

[aressto]

but ReplayGain already disabled at my rockbox, and its freeze still :*(

[GodEater]

Are you using a build from today ?

[aressto]

i tryed different builds

after you said so, i will try current one

[peteypiefrogworth]

Oops, got the freezing today, and ReplayGain is certainly off.

@GodEater: not a very recent build - have there been some relevant updates? Thanks.

[GodEater]

Given we don't know what's causing the problem - how could I know if there's been a relevant update?

We only ask when people are reporting a problem that they keep their build up to date so that when / if a developer has a clue about it, he knows the people with the issue are on up-to-date code.

Had the same problem today, 5.5g 80 GB iPod, using Rockbox r13631-070615. Interface freeze 2 minutes into a song, playback continued. Had to reboot, did not solve itself.

[aressto]

using up-to-date build, but it still did't solve my problem  

[aressto]

it gets freeze after few compositions of any album

need help, dont want to delete rockbox
