Sansa e280 FM presets auto scanned will not save

[pcgolfer]

I'm new to the forum, but I have really gotten into Rockbox.    It took a little bit of time, but everything is working well with one exception.   When I go into the FM radio, it prompts me if I wanted to autoscan stations.  I select it, and it does identify the station.   When I am done, it asks me if I want to save them.  I indicated yes by hitting the select button, and I get what looks to be a bunch of code, and it doesn't save the presets.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the bootloader and Rockbox and get the identical problem.   I work in IT, but I am not a technical expert.  Can anyone help?

Is the "looks to be a bunch of code" screen perhaps the virtual keyboard, as described in the manual?

Yes, it looks like the virtual keyboard and I'm not smart enough to mess with it.  Since it is the standard release, I think this is a bug.  I don't think an average user would be prompted with a coding option.    I think most people would hit yes/select and then simply have the device accept it and save them in memory.   I am seeing a lot of other posts on this.

The good news, is that I can scan each time and use the radio.   Alternatively, I can boot in the stock sansa firmware and listen to the stereo.  Not a show stopper, but I just wanted to verify others are seeing the same thing.   Thanks

It isn't code.  The virtual keyboard and how to use it is described in the manual.  How else are people to name their presets?  This isn't a bug.  It even suggests a name for you - if you just want to save, just press the accept key (as described in the manual)

My bad, I'm new and it is working.   I did read through the manual but didn't catch.   Thanks

Hehe, no worries
