Freezing screen on ipod 80 gb.

<< < (2/4) > >>

AlexP:
Hmmm, odd - some whilst you are on the WPS, the screen + controls are frozen, but music still plays?

How long have you left it?  Does it become responsive again?  Do you use database or filetree?  If you use database, do you have it set to auto update?  If so, I wonder if it is updating in the background.

I think we need someone with an iPod here - I only have a H140 and a gigabeat.

Ok, i think the problem is gone. I've changed a theme and it seems to be allright so far. I will test it and let u know tommorow. Thanks for your time BigBambi. Pozdrawiam;)

all999: I've got a 30GB iPod video, but I used to get the same symptoms as you. I solved the issue by turning the Idle Poweroff feature in the Settings Menu (Settings > General Settings > System) completely off. I theorize that the Idle Poweroff function was causing the lockups, but I'd also like to know if any other iPod users have this problem as well before I prove my theory.

So give it a shot and see what happens.

yegods:
i've been posting a lot about this issue in other sections of the forum... but here is my theory and workaround:

my ipod (80gb) used to freeze all the time.  i'm talking, almost every time i went to use it, i would have to hard reset. eventually i noticed that this occured after either shutting down (or auto shutting down) or after pausing (random amount of time before freeze).

i took a guess, and coded up a patch to disable pausing (it calls the stop playback code, instead of pause), and it has solved all my problems.  i haven't had a freeze since installing the patch.

Llorean:
Yes, and "Pausing" has nothing to do with "Shutting Down" other than being actions triggered by the same button.

Please, don't spam your theory all over our forums, as I've already stated rather clearly that your theory isn't based on much but an assumption you've made, and a rather sketchy one at that. Playback is not paused while shutting down, so why don't you offer some proof that the pause code had *anything* to do with your freezes while shutting down, rather than saying "They aren't happening right now so it must've been true." I'm not getting any freezes at all: Does that mean that since they're not happening right now, the proper fix is "Don't be yegods"? Please, do some actual investigation deeper in, or at the very least document things clearly (I don't see any previous mention of varying time periods after pausing, only that it froze when you paused which sounds like immediately) so that people can investigate properly. But stop trying to claim that every freezing problem you come across is the exact same one as yours.
