Sansa Fuze - Ultra short battery life :/

(1/9) > >>

sadzior:
hello everyone,

i recently have installed rockbox 3.5 on my fuze, and sticked with it for a week before i was forced to return to OF. Reason : very short battery life. I consumes about 2% per song! And when it reaches 40%, it takes like 20 minutes to deain out completely :/

I tried lowering down the screen brightness, turning off the wheel light, no effect. I was listening at -35Db, no cross feed, no nothing... And still it consumed battery like a mad man. I have no idea why...

When i returned to OF, everything was fine. I really miss rockbox, especially because of it's last.fm support, but charginf the battery everyday is such a pain in  the ass.

Can anyone help me?

Regards,
Sadzior

How long does it last?  The wiki says 12 hours is normal.

sadzior:
i'd say that 6 hours at most, no playing games or other things. That's disturbing...

I have no idea why it would be so short.  Try running the battery bench over night, and if its really that short post the logs in a bug report.

sadzior:
maybe the next release will have that fixed. Can you tell me when the 3.6 will be released? approximatelly, of course
