Does anyone have the problem where the player just locks up when connecting to your pc while on but when connected when off bootloader usb mode works perfectly?    Running latest build with latest bootloader and am connecting to debian wheezy netbook

[RipCurl]

yes, same problem here... but I recently found a trick to connect the booted fuze+ to my pc without crashing: as soon as the connection screen (usb picture) appears you should change the connection type with the lock/power button quickly (e.g. Presentation -> browser -> mouse ...) if you're fast enough the player won't crash =)

EDIT: Windows 7 64-Bit, newest build, newest bootloader...

now i just get a data abort message when plugging it in while on.   when i do it while off it will connect but when i unplug it i get bad checksum error.

Ok, I'll have a look at this issue. It seems other usb related problems have been reported recently.

Pamaury: I don't know if this is you doing (I'm guessing it's not), but the undefined instructions/data aborts/prefetch aborts seem to have disappeared last night on my player. I'm running revision 47ea5b5-120612, if that helps.

Edit: It still seems to have an undefined instruction when switching from an m4a, to mp3, and back to the same m4a, although this doesn't seem 100% reproducable. Doing the same with a later part of the playlist, this time with an ogg file, does not give any errors. I'll look into reproducing this later, and post the exact error, with all its magic numbers and everything.

Hi! First of all, thanks for Rockbox! I love it, this firmware makes my fuze+ a decent player.
I'm not a developer, but I wanna help with this project.
Please let me know how I can help.

Thanks and best regards.

I can confirm this. After downloading the latest release to my fuze+ the data aborts etc. on changing codecs have disappeared. It's fantastic! Whoever made that fix, thank you very much!!

Hello,
I'm sorry to inform you that this not me and I have absolutely no idea why. The crashes seem to be related to the cache so the real issue is problably still there but since cache issues are subtle, a little change can make it work (or fail).

I'll look into reproducing this later, and post the exact error, with all its magic numbers and everything.

As promised, the exact error I receive when switching from m4a to mp3, and back to m4a is:

Undefined instruction at 63E68CE0
bt pc: 63E68CE0, sp: 000048E8
   A: 63E5FEE0
   A: 63E610F4
bt end.

I still can't quite reproduce this error, although ogg/mp3 switches still seem to be immune to this problem.

Is there any way to charge and listen at the same time?

[mysiak]

Just hold the "center" button while plugging the USB cable, release after few seconds and you can charge&listen.

Hey guys has anyone had a problem where the player screen just goes black with no sound?  But if you hold down the power button for 10 seconds or so it turns back on no problem?  It happens very rarerly but it does happen.   Kind of worried because i kept the receipt in my wallet and it's so faded that i wouldn't be able to use it as proof of purchase for warranty if needed.  i did use my cc so i might be able to use that

[halonachos117]

Sportscrazed2:
A few things you should know: Sandisk offers a one-year warranty in America, two-year in Europe, so if there's a problem with the unit, you can exchange it from Sandisk for a replacement, and I don't think you need a reciept (I could be wrong).

Also, I should mention that this is a known issue with Rockbox, which probably only affects the Fuze+. I wouldn't worry too much about it, unless this is happening with the OF on your device.

Any further progress yet?
