I have implemented basic frequency management in HEAD, it can switch between 261MHZ and 454MHz. I have also enabled the auto-slow feature which divides the clocks when unused. This should allow for high performance when needed and better power savings when idle. I also fixed the battery calibration so it should display more realistic values. If you notice anything special, tell me so I can revert before the branch on sunday.

I have no clue about the touchpad unexpected behaviour. I'll try to reproduce it but I never noticed something similar.

EDIT: has anyone noticed random freeze ? If yes, does it seen to be related to usb connection or database settings (load to ram, auto update, gather runtime data) ?

I agree the radio screen needs a lock key too.

Firstly @pamaury great work on this port / bug fixes. A radio screen lock is the one feature I really miss. Also if anyone does dabble with some of the radio key mappings, it would be great if the physical volume buttons could control the radio volume!

I'm not having luck with latest version, the fuze+ hangs (for example with 1e8eb47).
Reverted to 4999913 and haven't problems, the player is very stable.

Unfortunately it seems that is related to frequency scaling. I have disabled it in the last commit. Can you confirm that it fixes the problem ?

Sansa fuze plus is proper dead
« Reply #529 on: September 04, 2012, 04:26:56 AM »
my fuze plus is cactus..

I think its a battery charging issue - but cant tell if its firmware based as cannot load sansa firmware (battery completely dead)

upon connecting to usb the screen shows:

"Boot version: 1.0
arg=CAFEBABE, addr=40000000
USB: connecting
Bootloader Usb Mode"

Thats all i can get out of it.

Prior to being completely dead the usb would actually connect and show the drive and all files. Now nothin..

Anyone had this?

You should always be able to boot in the OF by powering off, holding volume down and plugging usb. If you don't, come on IRC so we can discuss how to recover.

For my personal use build I already disable the touchpad volume for the music player, it's not hard if you download the build environment, and have a play.

Generally I find the touchpad easier to manage if volume is operated only by the physical buttons.

IMO it's a bad idea to have the volume controlled from the touch pad at all. if you touch the pad by accident the volume can go loud very quick!

What do others think about the idea of operating the volume only from the physical buttons?

Not sure how long this has been a problem, but I noticed that using the FM Radio will break voice menus/directories/etc. The only way I've been able to work around this is to either play some music (mp3/whatever) or turn off and turn back on the player. Voice functionality returns to normal after that.

If anyone can confirm this as well, I'll submit a bug.

Hi all - -

First, I want to thank all those responsible for Rockbox.  I think it is terrific, and it is obvious that a lot of thought went into the project.

This started when I recently purchased a set of Beyerdynamic T50P headphones.  On my Fuze + I noticed that when I resumed playback after turning on the player, or started playback from a different directory, there was a buzzing noice that lasts 6-7 seconds (if from the onboard flash), or 10-12 seconds (if from the microSD card).  In addition, the buzz - when from the microSD card - is louder.  For giggles, I changed the theme to the Rockbox default.  After I did this, the buzz changed:  it was much quieter until the screen blanked out, then it resumed at the louder volume for a couple of seconds before stopping (my settings are such that the screen blanks out after 20 seconds).

Also I could hear some white noise when no music is playing.  Changing the volume has no effect on the buzzing or white noise.  (I also noticed a popping noise when changing the volume on the main menu screen, but I think this has been discussed elsewhere before.)

I cannot hear any of these sounds when using the original firmware, nor when I am using any of my other headphones (PX100, PX200-II, Bose IE2).

Does anyone have any suggestions or work arounds (other than using the headphones that I cannot hear it with)?

Thank you in advance.

EDIT:  I have noticed the noise mentioned in paragraph 2 with the following builds:  1e7f606-120731, 1e8eb47-120902, and 4f99dd4-120905.

Same issue here. I hear noise and it's louder while the player is accesing storage (internal or sd).

Pamaury : reverting to 417da66 makes the randoms freeze disappear. Do you already know where they are coming from or should I try other build between 417da66 and present build to find out starting from which commit it occurs ?

first of all... thanks a lot to all the community and main developers for your work, you amazing your skillzz :)

my fuze+ just run out of battery the other day, should the bootloader, check the battery before it loads?
is the bootloader when on usb mode charging?

anyway with the last build, when my battery dried too much, the rockbox was not able to recover it.. i had to go to the OF and do it from there, its no problem but scary when I thought my player just bricked!
