Need to reset ipod to turn on????????
vamsimohan_6:
I have recently started using rockbox for my ipod 30g video. Its great but occasionally it doesn't turn on and i have to hold the center button and menu button for a while to turn it on. Is there any problem with the installation or the boot loader?

EDIT: By the way: have you used the original firmware for a long time before switching to rockbox? If you did, the problem started only after you installed rockbox or it had happened before?
*Chronon edited this post to remove the (now) extraneous reference to another thread.
Chronon:
Please note that the Apple firmware does not shut down the hardware so this behavior can be much harder to notice. Rockbox doesn't have a sleep function so each time it is shut down there's a chance of this hang happening. You will tend to notice it a lot more with Rockbox because the hardware gets shut down much more frequently. This is my current hypothesis to explain this behavior.
Elias_Maluco:
Hmm. So, there is any way (using a patch, or a plugin, or something) to make rockbox go in sleep mode instead of shutting down every time? I guess that would pretty much solve our problem.
Chronon:
Yes, a sleep function should allow you to avoid this behavior in the same way that Apple's firmware does. In principle it's possible. But no one has done it yet and I don't know what the impediments are to implementing that.
*Edit: I merged the two topics and edited a post.
