battery dying on a 5g

(1/4) > >>

joust:
i installed rockbox and now the ipod goes dead even when its turned off.

Chronon:
Does this happen every time?

joust:
it seems to.
I went into the settings and set the idle shutdown to 5s and set the backlight to 2sec in hopes that this would fix it.
I paused a song and I made site it said shutdown after the idle timeout.
next day. it was dead. when I plugged it into the pc it started charging with a message that the battery was extremely low. after a few min then it started up and connected to my PC.

Chronon:
In the past there have been issues with (especially 5g) iPods waking themselves up and draining the battery (due to a bug with the alarm).  But as far as I know this was fixed a long time ago and we haven't had recent reports of such behavior.  In the absence of other users experiencing the same thing it seems we should look for a reason that's peculiar to your setup.

Does resetting your settings have any effect?  (You can save your current settings first if you don't want to lose them.)

Llorean:
One question *might* be the original firmware version. Waking itself up would probably be associated with the flash firmware.
