Risks relating to iPod charging from wall socket.

<< < (3/8) > >>

Llorean:
It's been explained many times why the Rockbox bootloader doesn't have a menu. Its purpose is to boot Rockbox as quickly as possible. The iPodLinux Loader 2 exists for those who need an option.

kamalneet:
NOTE THAT :and apple firmware  while playing mp3 is not heating up dc/dc chip now means alot is wrong with rockbox power handling



ALSO nobody can wake up in the MIDDLE of the night to HOLD that MENU button (make sense with this) , concerns me for others to come

Llorean:
The processor runs at a faster speed in Rockbox, which is most likely where the heat is coming from.

Also, you plug it in with the menu button held down. Also, it's not Rockbox's fault that your iPod was set to enter deep sleep MUCH earlier than a normal one. If it hadn't been, the problem wouldn't have happened to you, as you would've awakened and unplugged it far earlier than the problem happened.

kamalneet:
you are not trying to understand the point here ,forget the past what has happened to my ipod ,
i am trying to make a point here to rockbox developers that why not they make charger pluggin in easier  ,and that is no MENU button pressing ,just a simple plug in  so that rockbox never reboots
,no reboot means no chaos .

who knows someday someone else will make the same mistake too.

it is another improvement which rockbox should achive that is what i am trying to say

Llorean:
And I said earlier in this thread that at some point I'm sure they WILL make it detect whether you've plugged in a charger or a USB cable, but that's not possible right now.

It's six posts earlier, the one I started with "The other thing is". You'll see it in there, at the end.
