I need to charge my iPod, and its acting strange

(1/2) > >>

AquaStreak:
Ok, usually when I plug my iPod in to charge, I'm on Rockbox, I hold Menu, while holding menu I insert the cord, wait about 5 seconds, then let go of menu. Doing this allows me to keep Rockbox running (not rebooting in Disk Mode) and charge.

However, I tried several times today on several cords, outlets, etc. When I go to charge it, I do the same thing I always do, but no matter what it shows a USB cord and resets into Disk Mode. I really want to avoid this. My battery is about 30% charged, so I don't think a low battery is causing this malfunction.

Help?

If it matters, I'm on an iPod with color display (iPod photo), 20GB

bluebrother:
have you updated your build? There was a bug that resulted in the need to hold down the menu button longer but that got fixed recently.

Hi there. I'm new to RockBox.

I'm just wondering how do I tell that RockBox is charging my 5.5G Ipod? Is there an animation of some sort?

Chronon:
There should be a plug icon in the status bar in the main menu.

Oh right. Yes I do see that.
Thanks for the tip.

Also. Can I have the "Charge during USB connection" menu set to NO for it to charge? I'm not sure what I did, but now if I plug in the USB, it gets out of RockBox and gives me a black and white background saying "Do Not Disconnect".
