battery life on 5g ipod

(1/1)

dopig5:
Hi - i installed Rockbox yesterday and charged it overnight.  I only got 3 hours batter life out of it.  I looked at what i should expect and i clearly have some problem.  I was not looking at video, just listenting to an audio book in mp3 format.  I did notice this morning though that the (what i assume is the )hardrive was continually 'clicking' and that the ipod was warm - neither of which i had noticed before using the Apple firmware.  

Any ideas?

Cheers,

S

LambdaCalculus:
What settings are you using? Can you post your config file up so we can see what you have switched on or off?

You can find it in /.rockbox/config.cfg; on Windows, this would be x:\.rockbox\config.cfg (replace x with the drive letter Windows assigns to your iPod.)

i use fedora - but unfortunately only at home - redhat is used here at work and plugging in my ipod shuts down the computer - i will get this file when i get home and post it.  I am using the  EvilG-lite-Fusion-30G-20070717       build - is this a bad idea?

That is an unsupported build.  As the phrase "unsupported build" suggests, we do not provide support for it in these forums.  You have two choices:  

(1) Install an official build by clicking the "current build" link on the navigation panel on the left and seeing if your problem exists with the official build; or

(2) Ask your question in the thread in the "Unsupported Build" forum relating to EvilG's build.

dopig5:
will do the latter, thanks
