I recently had some troubles on my Sansa e260, and ended up replacing the actual unit. First thing I did when getting the new one was installing Rockbox and all worked fine. However, I have noticed something which doesn't seem quite right, and I am wondering what may be the cause, and if perhaps there may be a fix out there somewhere.
When I use the wheel to move up and down, or if I play a game using the wheel, it doesn't consistently move in the right direction. While moving up, it may suddenly start down, and then back up again. If I am moving right, then maybe it will jump suddenly to the left just a bit before moving right again. It will also start that way sometimes, so that if I am at the top of a list, and want to move down just one place, it will move up instead, and then back down.
Of course, at first I thought it may be a hardware issue, but I don't find this happening using the Sansa firmware, which gives me doubts.. I just tried it and found that in the main menu if I spin the wheel constantly in one direction the menu does scroll in only that one direction. There seem to be no stops or flicks back in the other direction. I am not sure how definitive a test this may be, but it did seem to operate as expected.
Has anyone else noticed anything like this, and is there a possible change I can make which may smooth it out? I did install the latest daily build, thinking it may be something which was fixed, but found no change so far.
Thanks for any suggestions.
