ipod mini 2nd gen/scroll wheel unresponsive after hold on/off
Slikk:
I'm having the same problem as the OP, except with an ipod 5G (ipodvideo 30gb). Tried rockbox 3.9 and the latest build, no difference. Unfortunately I'm not much of a developer so compiling from source with some of the older patches is probably out of the question, and apparently they use udelay which is bad for some reason anyways?
chris_s:
For what it's worth, the issue still exists on the latest version of Rockbox using a fourth-generation iPod.
ipod_4g_button_int-variant2-v2.patch from FS#5230 seems to have solved it for me as well.
chris_s:
Can I ask why this patch was never accepted? The official Rockbox version feels basically broken on devices like the (B&W) fourth-generation iPod and other affected devices unless you never touch the HOLD slider. It's not an issue for me personally, because I'm compiling my own version with the patch applied (which doesn't appear to have given me any problems in a month of usage), but it's not a good experience for regular users. I stopped using Rockbox at one point in the past just because of this issue (before i knew how to fix it).
Bilgus:
I can't say for sure but the FS attached to it sure is all over the place.
Not to mention that patch no longer matches the current file and it looks like the click
wheel might have already been fixed can you attach 'your' patch to this thread?
I don't have this device to test so I can't do too much with it but someone else may..

So, here's the same patch I linked to before, but with updated line numbers so it applies to the latest dev version hosted on GitHub (credit continues to go to Boris Gjenero).
I can say with some certainty about Rockbox (either 3.14 or dev) running on the iPod 4G (with grayscale LCD) that
– without the patch, the buttons (almost always) continue to exhibit the faulty behavior described in FS#5230, even today
- applying this patch will completely fix the issue on this model
- I could not detect any (obvious) negative side effects in a month of fairly heavy usage
I think, at the very least, the patch should probably be included for this very model (using a preprocessor directive?). Although it sounds like more models are affected and would benefit from the patch.
