Font Settings Disappear?

<< < (2/2)

Llorean:
I have a Gigabeat F40 and am not experiencing this problem.

How are you shutting down? I turned my player on, changed the font to Nimbus-14, and shut down. When I turned it back on the font was still changed.

After changing the font, shutting down, turning back on, does a file config.cfg exist in your .rockbox directory? If you open it in notepad does it have a line describing which font you've selected?

philz:
Checked the .cfg file in the /.rockbox directory and yes, it *does* reflect the changes I made.  

My "shutdown" process has been to (well, had been to) disconnect both the power and the USB from the F40, long press the power button until it was off, long press the power button until it was on and then observe the main menu as being incorrect based on what I thought I had done.

After reading your last post, in between the power off and the power back on, I turned the battery off for about 5 seconds and then back on.    This seems to have resolved the problem, as both the main menu and the backlight settings are as I intended.

I guess the moral of this story would be 1) make sure you have the latest build and 2) it can't hurt to turn the battery off for a few seconds  .

I'm not sure I understand the rationale behind this (I thought the battery off was only when the firmware was updated), but I can certainly easily live with it!

Thank you *again* for the assistance.     Damn nice tool you folks have put together here.   Now to see if I can get some video working.   That'll be tomorrow's thing though.

Llorean:
You shouldn't need to turn the battery off. I suggest seeing if settings now persist across shutdowns properly without turning the battery off (I never do). You also shouldn't need to unplug from the main power supply.
