[Clip+] Power consumption issues with 3.11.2

(1/2) > >>

Tigran Ghardashyan:
Hi.
After Updating to 3.11.2 ( not 3.11 ) from 3.10 I have an issue with my Clip+. The problem is that the battery is draining much faster: only 11 hours at -20 dB and default settings ( the album was on my 32GB class 4 microSD card ). Player is only 9 months old, and I recharge it once in 3-4 days, so I don't think that it is "old battery issue".
Unfortunately I've deleted battery bench stats file, but I can do another benchmark if you need. :-)
Has anyone else a problem like this?
Thank you,
best regards.

edit
I forgot to mention that I did the benchmark on 320 kbit mp3s.

Are you absolutely certain you have 3.11.2?  There was a bug in 3.11 that caused high power consumption on the Clip+ that was fixed in 3.11.2.

Tigran Ghardashyan:
Yes, I am sure, I mentioned it in my previous post.  :-)
Also I have a hypotheses, that certain memory cards consume much more energy than others ( have you ever noticed that annoying noise when accessing to external memory: on some cards it is present, on  some not ). So maybe it is not the problem of only current version.
Can someone approve this?
I think I have to do a battery benchmark on internal memory.
Thanks,
best regards.

AlexP:
I know you mentioned it, I was just asking you to double check by e.g. looking at Rockbox Info on the unit just in case you tried to update and it failed for some reason leaving you on 3.11.

Anyway, if you are having issues on 3.11.2 then a battery bench both on 3.11.2 and on a version where you see longer battery life would be very useful.

saratoga:
A battery bench from 3.10 and 3.11.2 each would be interesting to compare.
