iPod mini Battery Question

<< < (2/4) > >>

pixelma:
There are two parts of the story. Fixing this bug surely improved runtime compared to letting the processor run at top speed but worse runtime than the original firmware has (had) another reason - there are enough threads that explain it around here.

I'm not aware of someone testing runtime on a Mini under Rockbox compared to the original firmware after the fairly recent "device disabling" commit. On other devices with portalplayer chip this improved runtime a lot, so that it comes closer (or almost on par) with the stock firmware. You could be the one to try...

(I don't even have an Ipod and didn't care about it on my Sansa as I very seldom use it for so long that it runs out of battery.)

Proxy:
There must be something very wrong with my settings, because rockbox drains it a lot faster than the stock firmware. Is there a reset for settings that would change all my power related settings to the default?

Febs:
Yes.  Settings --> Manage settings --> Reset settings.

Proxy:
I've tested this on an iPod with a 750mAh battery. It drains battery quite fast, I've used it for about three hours and the battery is at 64. I have no idea whats wrong, but its a second gen iPod with a CF card, and backlight off.

Llorean:
How old is the battery. While a very roughly estimated 9 hours is short, it's not unreasonable for an old battery. As well, since you didn't do a full bench, we don't have any clue at what percentage / voltage it actually started at, nor what it would've actually ended at.
