AlexP:
If you have the same problem both with and without rockbox installed then to me it sounds very much like a hardware problem I'm afraid.

farwest:
hardware? does it mean that is a fake batterry? how can i test it?
thanx

A few months later, but this thread seems to be talking about the same problem I have.

It clearly seems to be a hardware issue in my case.

I bought a H340 with a dying battery, so also bought a 2200mA CameronSino.

1. Instead of the 20+ hours I was expecting, I get 10 hours of continuous play.
2. The battery is also completely drained after 1 day of being switched off, which is pretty annoying.
3. When it is charging, after a while the HDD starts having problems, repeatedly spinning up, clicking, and spinning down.

These problems all occur in both firmwares; they all occur on yet another new battery (another CameronSino 2200mA I bought); and they all occur with the back of the player still screwed on or taken off. I had read that hot batteries swell up, which sounded like a nice solution, but taking the back off has made no difference.

Any tips on fixing this would be great.

No idea... my h340 has a CameronSino battery for 1+ year and I'm seeing none of your issues.
Either there are hardware issues at work, or there are some iriver models with slightly different hardware? (the latter is however unlikely)
