Problem with battery and rockbox!!!

[lovubb]

i want to install this patch to make my ipod boot with rockbox even if the battery is definitely empty but i dont have an idea on how to install a patch for rockbox so i'm beggin if someone can do it for me and upload the patched one. There is the link to the patch http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/3039?string=batt&project=1&type[0]=4&sev[0]=&pri[0]=&due[0]=&reported[0]=&cat[0]=&status[0]=open&percent[0]=&opened=&dev=&closed=&duedatefrom=&duedateto=&changedfrom=&changedto=&openedfrom=&openedto=&closedfrom=&closedto=

According to that link, the patch only works on an Iriver H1xx player.  You said you had an Ipod.  This seems like it could pose a problem.

ah ok thx!!! But is there a patch for iPod nano 1st gen??!! Or something to disable this shit from rockbox?,

[saratoga]

Saw you posted a question elsewhere.

i have a problem with my ipod nano and the problem is that the indicator of battery indicate always that the battery is empty even if it's  fully charged so this dont allow me to use rockbox because it think that the battery is empty but it's fully charged so the ipod sut down telling me that i must charge it. So what i want is a solution allowing me to use rockbox even if the battery is in low level of charge!!

You need to buy a new battery.

re-calibrating the battery can be a solution??

[saratoga]

Recalibration only makes sense if you think the battery works.  Is there any reason you think the battery works?

[lovubb]

yes the battery works fine but the only problem is the meter it indicates that there is not much charge left in the battery  but i can listen at least 8 hours !!

So basically, your problem is that you have an ipod with a broken battery read out?  Next time just say that.

Theres no way to work around that problem without editing the source code.  I guess you could try changing the low battery voltage or defining NO_LOW_BATTERY_SHUTDOWN, but I'm not even sure if thats enough to fix it.

Seriously, stop posting the same question in multiple places in the forums - you won't achieve what you want, and you WILL piss people off.
