Sansa Fuze+

[pamaury]

Several people have reported failures on the microSD port over USB but I was not able to reproduce the issue so far. Is it deterministic on your device ? If so, I am very interested, maybe we could experiment a few things to try to determine the cause of this issue. Maybe you can PM me so we can discuss the detail without polutting the thread.

Anyway, if people are generally in favour of dropping this behaviour and map bottom left or right to hotkey we can surely change this.

Please do this. I'm not doing anything abnormal, but going forward or back it is easy to accidentally trigger them, or worse, since they are on the bottom edges, just holding the device wrong will do it. The bottom right isn't as bad as the bottom left. The pitch menu is something that would be rarely, if ever used. Most people don't want to mess up the pitch when listening.

I for one, use 3 of the 4 features supported by these buttons.  I do not use the Track info [long press of bottom right.]

I have no issue with making these features togglable but I balk at the proposal to remove these features outright. 


If I may speculate, a bulk of these touch interface issues could be addressed with gesturing being introduced.  Though I understand the difficulty in implementing such a feature.

As always, I appreciate your work.

Hi, i have some bug in theme engine. In WPS screen if keyboard is locked and playlist is ended you go back to the library and when i add some new songs to playlist wps lock icon show 'unlocked' state but touchscreen and screen actualy locked. When i press any key lock icon show right state - 'locked'. I think %?mh<|> directive work sometimes incorrect. Can anybody help me? Maybe somebody can tell me in which file in source tree i must search this problem?

P.S. Sorry for my bad English

I'll have to cast a vote for not changing the keymap. IMHO, the keymap is perfect as it is. Of course, I'll still be greatful no matter what happens.

TheGreatYashu, did you know you can lock the screen while in either the radio screen or the WPS by quickly tapping power button? That way, you can force the Fuze+ to ignore the touchpad altogether.

Yes, but what happens is when I hold it to change tracks or seek and such, the touchpad detects the edges of my hand, or other parts of my fingers and go to the pitch menu. The touchpad is super sensitive. I would like the ability to change the keymap for those shortcuts. Maybe to something else, maybe disable. An option for this. I understand if it is not possible or high priority.

I'm glad to have rockbox on it regardless.

Don't forget that you can change the touchpad sensitivity using the setting menu.

Hi all,
I have committed a number of changes recently: they should be mostly invisible but they might hopefully remove the audio glitches. If you previously suffered from these glitches, please tell me if it helps. If you get unusual crashes please report too of course.

Hi again
since someone popped up for the 1000th time about volume keys when WPS is locked, here is a patch for those who want to try and/or contribute and/or improve and/or use it for their private builds. It mixes ideas from metaphys and from action contexts and I feel it's clean enough to share and maybe commit (although debate is necessary).

Just picked up a Sansa Fuze+ (Refurb) and after loading up the latest dev build: 8927df4-140217 firmware: 02.38.06 the unit is crashing a lot.

One specific example is just paging through the files on the internal drive.
Prefetch abort at FFFFFB5C
FSR 0x88
(domain 8, fault 9)
pc: FFFFB5C sp:600008BC
bt end

It seemingly comes up randomly.  Any ideas?
Thanks much!

Can you retry with the default theme and by resetting the settings ? That would help narrowing down the errors otherwise it's just impossible to get a clue about what happen. The address suggests memory corruption which is extremely hard to debug.

[dirwiz]

No such luck.  I wiped the entire memory clean including .rockbox.  Used the installer and only put in the bootloader and rockbox itself, no extras.. The menu is unusuable.. darned thing keeps crashing a few seconds after I start using it..

I even went farther and used gparted and created a new partition table AND a win32 partition.. Same results.

pamaury,
You are welcome to send me test builds to help debug this.  I can also be on IRC if that helps.  My timezone is EST.

I've been using a build with this commit for a few days and the feature is very useful with no apparent drawbacks.  The volume buttons require very positive pressure and it's hard to see how they could be pressed unless done deliberately.    It's good to be able to change the volume unsighted (i.e. player with locked WPS in pocket or in the dark) and will also be better for anyone wearing gloves, people using the player in flip cases and so on.

Just got myself a Fuse+ and am enjoying it with Rockbox. However I can't find the "Quick menu" key combination. It's not in the manual either. Has this been implemented yet?  Thanks

Even thought, this semi-locked approach might be against general RB rules, I would also prefer to have possibility to lock only touchpad and leave volume keys unlocked even when Fuze+ is locked.

One has to lock Fuze any time it is not placed on table. Being able to adjust volume without need to remove it from pocket, unlock it, do volume change, lock it and put it to pocket would be handy.

But one can live with how it works now.
