Ipod hard lock while Paused... workaround inside!

(1/3) > >>

yegods:
not sure if this is the right place, but this problem has plagued me since i started using Rockbox.  the player would freeze up whenever i had the music paused for more than a few seconds, or when using the pause feature and then shutting down.  the player would basically not respond to anything unless i performed the hard reset function.

this patch that i created: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/5987

solves the problem by making the player STOP instead of PAUSE when pausing in the WPS screen.  i've been using it for a week, and have had no freeze-ups in the WPS screen.

the freeze-up issue when paused still needs to be looked at by the devs.  it is a serious issue, and seems to affect most mid-to-late generation ipods.  but in the meantime, this patch will "fix" it.

GodEater:
Hasn't ever happened to me.

yegods:
well, it's happened to me, and a lot of other people.  and it's ANNOYING!

bluebrother:
well, if there is a task in the tracker already -- why is there a need to note it in the forums and linking to the task? Most devs rarely read the forums and so far there weren't much reports of that issue.

yegods:
well for one, i hadn't received any replies at all to the bug fix, and i thought maybe people read the forums more than they peruse the bug lists.  for two... how can you say there aren't many reports of this?  the second reason i posted was because i saw several reports of this on the front page.
