Sansa Fuze+
pamaury:
I am a bit surprized by what you say since the fuze+ has a capacitive touchpad so it's not sensitive to pressure. The only way I could think about false activation in a pocket would be that it detect your skin.
Unfortunately I can't think of a perfect solution. Making the device inactive while locked is not an option, reducing the touchpad sensitivity while locked seem feasible although I'm unaware of such a mechanism in rockbox so it would specific to this target.
The battery life is something complicated, it's not only related to backlight and touchpad. Furthermore, we are not that bad with approximately 16h of playback. It's just that there is still some work to do to reduce power consumption when possible but that requires time.
Eridyne:
I was a bit surprised as well that it activated, as I'm aware it's not sensitive to pressure. It does seem, however, to be sensitive enough to detect skin through any thin material - including your average jeans pocket or thin knit gloves. It wouldn't be a problem if I had other pockets, or put the fuze in a jacket pocket, I suppose, but it seems to always get dropped in my jeans pocket, out of habit, and I don't always have a jacket on.
Reducing the sensitivity when locked would be a good idea, I think, better than any of my suggestions, but I imagine it would be quite a pain to implement.
Battery life is always complicated, I agree. I was merely pointing out, in my earlier post, that having the backlight on much of the time doesn't help the battery life, not trying to imply that it was the primary deciding factor.
EDIT: Out of sheer curiosity, just tried using the touchpad with a bit of my t-shirt wrapped around my finger. Works...surprisingly well.

Meta: I can now say I definitely do not like 13 as the sensi value it fells way to sensitive, mostly I've been using 10 sometimes 11 so I for one would like a permanent setting for sensi somehow (if that's possible).
metaphys:
possible certainly but for the moment I have to much to do with other stuff (keymaps, manuals...) those are pretty easy stuff to do but take a lot of time, and as no one is helping well... this is going to take a lot of time...

No problem simply reporting in like you wanted. Thank you both for doing this! Unfortunately I don't have time to learn to help with the manual since I'm wrapped up in my school and Boy Scout stuff.
Thanks to you both again!
