5th gen 30gig ipod: changed usb behavior w/3.2 (edited)

<< < (3/3)

soap:
To listen to music while charging via USB you need to press and hold the "Menu" button while inserting the USB cable.  This has not changed for a long time.

aboe:
soap, as I said in my original post, "when using gmusicbrowser to play music from my usb-connected ipod, it seems that the ipod's disk repeatedly starts to spin, causing a continual drain on the battery.  When I stop the music, the ipod begins to charge again.  With rockbox 3.1 my ipod would charge up while I played music from it with my computer with no apparent activity from the disk."  I am not talking about listening to the Rockbox/ipod through the headphone jack.

And GodEater, I am not having problems with charging in general, only this one particular issue, and only immediately after installing 3.2.

soap:
As everyone has already said - IF you are using 3.2, and not a current build you are still using Apple's disk mode - and thus Apple's charging mode.  I can assure you with great confidence their software has not changed.  I'm not sure it would even be possible for Rockbox to change a hardware register that would survive the reboot into disk mode.  Could someone confirm this?
