Scrolling is a pain

[-Rockstar]

Ever since I download Rockbox 3.0 on my MP3, the scroll has gone made crazy, I haven't dropped it for a while as well. If I were to try and go to a song, it would go down, up, start at the bottom of the list, then the top of the list, and it takes like 5 minutes just to play a song.

It happens on Rockbox and Original firmware.

I contacted Sansa and they said it could be from bad files.

Could it be that I installed Rockbox 3.0 improperly? I used the drag n drop technique. :p

Any help??

I haven't dropped it for a while as well.

Which means you have dropped it?

It happens on Rockbox and Original firmware.

Which means it isn't a Rockbox issue.

I contacted Sansa and they said it could be from bad files.

That answer of theirs in this context makes no sense to me.  I strongly suspect hardware damage.

Incorrect installation of Rockbox would not cause a problem such as this in both Rockbox and the Original Firmware.

I have a couple sansa e200 and one did this out of the box.
The only way I could get it to work properly was using sansa linux
and altering the scrollwheel speed. This did no fix it in
rockbox or the OF.
I think an option to adjust scroll wheel speed in rockbox would help.

Yes, I have dropped it. But like, not for a long while.

I'll try that.

Ummm... where's that option? I see scroll things, but that changes how fast text moves...

Have you reformatted the player in the past and if yes, how? Do you use dircache in Rockbox?

[-Rockstar]

Yes, I have Formated the player, twice I think.

Dircache?

[bluebrother]

Formatting a flash memory using stock (i.e. windows) format tools is usually a bad idea -- flash is organized in blocks, and if you want it to be fast you need to take this into consideration when formatting a flash based media (this is generically true for all flash based media, like usb sticks, memory cards etc.). Manufacturers provide special format tools for those devices.
For the sansa, you could use the sansa.fmt trick -- but this is a recovery trick and should be used with care. I'd try to get a flash formatting tool first.

And about dircache: I strongly suggest reading the manual ...
