Sansa Fuze V1 (3.11.2): shuts off when on USB
« on: October 04, 2012, 05:29:12 AM »
Hello everyone, first post.

First of all, many many thanks for your impressive work!

I installed 3.11.2 on my Sansa Fuze V1 and everything is smooth and enjoyable, except for a weird behavior: when I connect it to my PC via USB (to add files etc.), everything works for a few minutes only: after say 2-3 minutes, the Sansa shuts down.
Needless to say, it makes adding anything larger than a few megabytes impossible.

I've tried disabling any power-saving feature, I also tried enabling USB HID mode, but nothing worked.
With the original firmware, it does not have this problem.

By the way: is it normal that the "Battery" entry is missing from "General Settings"->"System" on my device?

Thanks,

Fer

Hello,

bug was not fixed with 3.13.

More details:

After some tens of MB of transfer (to Fuze's internal memory), the device disconnects from the PC.
The screen of the Fuze reports:

"undefined instruction at 4000001c
pc:4000001c sp:300cea20
bt end
"

Maybe it's the same, I don't have enough knowledge to follow that discussion.

Please, could you add my report there? I don't know how to contribute myself.  :-\

Thanks,

Fernando

You don't need to add any report.

Hello i have the same problem with my fuze as the topic creator, link that you posted isn't a solution ( http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/12184 ).

Have you found a solution to this bug? My fuze after rockbox'ing it turns off after few hundreds of MB with same error this problem don't appear when Im using stock fuze firmware. I hope you know how to solve this problem because it takes always time to boot in stock firmware.

Regards

Hello,

I have a completely identical problem.
That's really really annoying, i can't make any big transfer.

I hope that you will solve this.

It may not be the ideal solution, but if you boot into the original Sansa firmware (by holding down on the back button when powering up), you can transfer files without any problem.

I've had a Rockboxed Fuze V1 for almost 5 years now, and that is the only way I transfer files onto it.  I've given up on USB transfers with Rockbox running.

I should hope that your issue isn't _completely_ identical.

If you are in fact using 3.11.2 (which, as of this writing, is 2 years, 3 months, and 4 days old), then please update your binary.

In fact, even if you're using 3.13, the current release (which, as of this writing, is 1 year, 4 months, and 8 days old), update your binary to a current image.

People often seem to avoid the development builds for fear of potentially unstable behaviour, and encountering new bugs, and if the release was anywhere near current I might be tempted to agree. However, considering the extreme age of the current release, I don't think anyone should be using it unless their current setup is perfectly functional and meets their requirements and they have no desire to make use of any of the additional features and bug fixes that have been added over the past 16 months.

If you already are using a current development image, then disregard the above, and remember to include that information in your post next time.

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.
