Risks relating to iPod charging from wall socket.
hellblazer112:
My Ipod Gets pretty hot too but it doesnt fry. I leave it on in rockbox all night cus if i turn it off(hold Play) and plug it in it restarts and also if i put the hold on when it is off it starts up.

Please correct me if I am wrong:
1) Charging from a wall charger will send the iPod into a reboot loop if "Menu" is not pressed while it is being plugged in, so make sure the "Menu" button is pressed while you plug in the wall charger.
2) Don't leave your iPod plugged into the wall charger for extended periods of time (more than a few days) after shutting down from Apple's firmware because it will go into a reboot loop as soon as it goes into deep sleep.
I see no problem here, since I always shut my iPod off from Rockbox. Plus, I would never leave my iPod plugged into a wall charger for more than a night or so. However, I do see why some people would do so.
Just wanted to be clear on these points.

For some it's not their first language, and being that this is a public site AND project you shouldn't really be saying that. They're trying their best.

Maybe there should be a thread stuck to the top of the forum if poss with info like this that could be damaging to the player. I had the rebooting deal happen to me with my new car charger and immediately shut it off,pulled it,and came here to see what the heck was going on. Found my answer but had to hunt around for it. I just installed RB on a friends pod and would hate to hear he damaged it somehow,ya know?

Hi, i just want to know: Does it even charge when you plug the wall charger while in rockbox? I did the hold menu while pluging in the cable thing, and it doesnt seems like it is charging...
