iPod 5.5 Gen - Unresponsive Click Wheel?
« on: April 02, 2009, 01:20:17 PM »
Howdy folks! I just acquired a 30GB 5.5 Gen iPod, and it's awesome, especially with Rockbox! Everything is all working and dandy... except for one teensy little problem.

Here's the skinny, whenever I put the player on hold, the click wheel doesn't respond, which is fine and dandy because that's what it's supposed to do. Now, here's the problem: whenever I put it off of hold, the screen lightsnup, but the click wheel is still unresponsive for a few seconds until, after, it finally goes back going. This problem can't be a hardware problem because the click wheel is working fine in the normal iPod firmware, so I figure it's a bug in the Rockbox firmware.

And yes, I have the "First Buttonpress Enables Backlight" option set on "No". My current Rockbox firmware is r20599.

So what's the dealio? A bug in the Rockbox system? Maybe??!?!

Actually, you're right. Upon further inspection, that's EXACTLY the bug I'm experiencing.

Any chance of this being fixed any time soon? In fact, if it's a very known bug, are there any other people experiencing the same bug I am at the moment?

I've actually gone and broken my iPod recently, but I did experience this for the entire time I had Rockbox on it.  As you can see on the task, it's been there since 2006, so I'm not holding my breath for a fix.

I've posted a patch which seems to fix the problem on my 5G 30GB iPod.  It should still be tested on 4G and Nano iPods.
