Discussion of now-committed ipod startup workaround

<< < (3/9) > >>

Falco98:
I have noticed this problem with the 80gb 5.5 i just got a week or so ago -- the first time it happened I was worried but once I reset it I was convinced that I'd just mussed something up by resetting it and plugging it into USB so many times, as I was constantly going in and out of it since it was still rather new.  Now I've had the problem maybe once or twice more in semi-daily use during the last week or so; it's not enough to be annoying but just enough to be noticeable.

Chauncellor:
There seems to be quite a large amount of people affected with the 5.5 ipod.

Does this mean that we're going to get the workaround for 3.5? I highly doubt Apple will ever fix this problem. It seems to be up to the great Rockbox guys.

(....pretty please?  :) :))

torne:
I was originally going to wait until after the release to introduce this patch but I'll discuss it with the other devs, maybe it should go in 3.5.

I think the common-ness of the problem being reported on Video is mostly that more people have a Video, rather than the problem being rare on the others: it's probably best to commit it for all the above targets.

Chauncellor:
Something I don't quite understand is why other 5.5 users aren't affected by this bug. Earlier apple firmware versions? Was this bug introduced a few versions back? It's weird to me.

torne:
If we knew that we might be able to find a real solution :)

The workaround appears to be 100% effective with only minor cosmetic side effects, so it's not bad.
