Investigating the iPod USB charging bug
fallenturtle:
I noticed I'm having a problem with my ipod 5g 60 gig when connected to a USB wall charger. If I leave the backlight off and don't play music then the charge does go up, but if the backlight is on the charge goes down which makes me think it's this issue with the amount of power being pulled via USB.
FS#8802 is closed and I think its saying that the fix is now part of the official build, or am I understanding this wrong?
Do I need to download a patch? I'm running the 3.6 build that Rockbox Utility unstalled last week. I don't know the build number is, but I was under the assumption that the Utility installs the latest which I think is r28361.
I don't have an option for USB charging, just Accessory Power Supply which is set to "yes".
Sorry for my naivety. Should I have started a fresh thread?

3.6 is much older then that, and no it doesn't include FS#8802. You'll have to update if you want to charge your player.
