slow track skipping, etc. on 4G grayscale iPod

(1/2) > >>

rockinfree:
For the past couple weeks, my iPod (4G, grayscale) has been doing the following things ... and upgrading my build (currently r15722-071120)/running the disktidy app doesn't help:

- when the first song is played, it will skip for maybe 30 seconds/1 minute, but then acts normally (sometimes pausing the song at the beginning decreases the number of skips)

- when I skip more than 1 or 2 songs in a row, the elapsed time/total time on the "now playing" screen shows 0:00/0:00 for a minute or two before the song loads and plays

- reinitializing my database takes hours (I have ~5000 songs)

- doing a large "insert" operation (in the file view) takes forever -- it'll insert maybe 20 or 30 tracks in a minute

Any advice for what I should do? Thanks.

Falco98:
Try running a chkdsk on it?

rockinfree:
Did that, twice -- the first time it found errors & fixed them, and the second time everything went fine:



No improvement with the initial iPod problems, though ...

safetydan:
Two other things to try:

1. Reset your settings. I think you can do this by turning off the player, and turning it back on with the hold button on.
2. Try a defrag and see if that fixes things.

rockinfree:
Tried both options, but still couldn't see a noticeable difference. Any other suggestions?

Edit: I've reverted back to the original Apple firmware, which seems to have fixed everything for some reason. I still think Rockbox is awesome, but not for everyone ... and at least now my battery will last longer than 4 hours :P

Thanks to those who did reply!
